AngryJoe's review on MEA

Well deserved 6/10.

I neednt watch past Joes disgusted look as he folds up his omni blade and looks back as if to say: No! I'm not letting it end this way...actually, you know what? Fuck it, you can't fix this shit.

@op wait for a patch and lower your expectations. You'll do fine if you do that.

And to Joe, and to GameSpot.

It is a good review. Figured he might go with a 6/10 and a 7/10 when it's patched.

But we shouldn't pay attention only to the rating he gave, but the review as a whole. All of them are valid points that does subtract from a reviewer's final score. Haven't run into many bugs as him, maybe 'cuz I'm not far in the game yet(For example, haven't met Sloane Kelly and checked if that bug does occur), but problem is that people are having those bugs and glitches, even some that makes planet's viability go to 0% again, and that is something that needs to be patched ASAP.

I agree with him. Am I less of a Mass Effect fan because of that? Nope
Am I having a good time with the game? Of course. But pretending nothing is wrong clearly isn't the way of things.

No one is saying anything is wrong. I believe they're contesting whether the flaws are exaggerated or not.

List the exaggerated ones...

I would give it a 7, maybe a weak 8 if i had my fanboy goggles on. I have a high tolerance for glitches, i play Bethesda games in their vanilla state. 

My biggest problems were the CC (not half as good as DAI, yet same engine?) and lip Sync. 6.75/10. with those fixed, 7.9/10. or just 8/10.

Angry Joe wants spacebattles and driving his own ship... lol.

This is not Wing Commander or Star Citizen, Joe.

Horde Mode. And 'cuz it's a copy-paste of the previous game. I don't say that it's bad. Quite the oposite. But I guess he wants to say "do something new! Give us space battles, heavy battles, innovate, be creative!"

I agree ME focus was never Multiplayer, but I did wish some things were added, like adding Space Battles or even a MP Map on a space battle, transitioning ship to ship between waves or something like that. Zero-G fights... Something unique that makes us feel like we're in a Sci-fi game, not just for the graphical part(Scenarios/Weapons/Characters), but in the gameplay part as well.

Well, if you really want to experience this type of gameplay, go play the latest expansions from SW:TOR.  It is pretty basically the same game, except this one has shooting mechanics.  Jumping mechanics too, if you wanna play on Normal or lower.   It is the same exact writing.  Same bland characters.  Same bland grey you. 

If you wanna know how to play the game and beat it in a reasonable amount of time, I'm sure you can find it online.  All you have to do is search youtube for "Best build Mass Effect Andromeda".  Otherwise, prep yourself to be sitting there for half an hour.  *shrug*   I don't really care that it's unbalanced.  I mean, hell, the last games were imbalanced.  But to have a 50 lb weight on one side vs. a 1 lb weight on the other, it's just ridiculous.  And the amount of time that the fights take is ridiculous because of it.  At least in the last games, you knew that fight with a Geth Juggernaught would take you (at most) five minutes.   I was sitting at the Cardinal for half an hour before I finally widdled him down.

I don't really need someone to tell me how to play the game.  I need for someone to pay me for this piece of shit they call a game.

If you take half an hour to beat the Cardinal (on normal) then you might still need some practice with the gun/powerplay.
