AngryJoe's review on MEA

In your latest posts, you are sounding more and more as if you were having a mental melt down. Why could it become ridiculous if people may just have a totally different opinion about the game than the one you have?

Do you even get what I'm saying? It's fine that you have a different opinion. The problem is when people start flaming others for having different opinions.

Just your post is pretty rude.

GROW UP!

I think that he said what he's gonna say to you. 

I've never been a fan of the series even though I have all three games from the previous trilogy which I had bought for my sister who really liked it
(including the 3rd Mass Effect).
Andromeda however was overall a disappointment,way too many serious graphical glitches,an average plot, fetch quests in abundance and mediocre dialogues.
I don't believe I will buy it despite the quick decrease of it's price(it's already at-24%)

What exactly bothered you? I don't have an issue if people like the game, I don't like people going around saying people exaggerate bugs or the animations issues and then say they're not a big deal. That's downplaying the issue at that point, plus they're then deciding what is and isn't worth bringing up to bioware. Should they not try to fix this stuff in a 2017 game with better tech than 5 years ago? 

The bulk of my point nt was people are crazy to give the game a 10 point rating or even a 9, as they're then downplaying the issues just as someone giving it a 2 isn't giving enough credit. When games get 9s or 10s they're generally good technical wise, have a strong narrative, had addicting gameplay, has interesting characters, etc etc. while it is subjective on these matters, I'm still going to think someone is crazy for thinking the game is that high quality. It's a good game, but a 9? Especially a 10? that leads me to believe they're ignoring the issues it carries.

furthermore I'm not begrudging them or condemning them thinking that way. If they want to put it up that high fine, I'm still going to question it, ask for people to elaborate as to why, and even then I may still not agree with it. I ultimately don't mind what people score the game, what I more or less care about is people recognizing the issues themselves without downplaying them. "I'm going to ignore anyone who brings up the animations" is an issue to me, especially when their are people that get their immersion ruined by it. It's hard to take characters seriously if their face is boring, or when their body goes absolutely insane (reference to sloane in the video). The voice acting is quite good, but it doesn't mesh with the expressions the characters give. It's also an issue when people say "I'm not experiencing these bugs". People need to remember there's various people playing, bugs will occur differently and in different circumstances. I may not experience them much (I actually do), but it doesn't mean someone else isn't. There's issues of saves going currupt, that alone is game breaking, especially if you're not thinking ahead and didn't make backup saves. No one wants to go back and replay 60+ hours to get right back to where they were.

what I'm really saying is I want people to be realistic, acknowledge the issues, even if they're not your own priorities, I also want people to acknowledge what it does right, even if they dislike the game. What people score the game really isn't the main issue but it does correlate to my point. There just needs to be a "universal" perspective on what is good/bad/needs work, etc etc. that's how you find the things that need worked on. People say judging a story can't be objectively proven, but you can get the majority to pick a side and hobby that. Do they find issues with bugs? Do they find issues with the animations? The story? The UI? 

Manother thing that needs to stop is using reviews to back up a stance as it then leads to double standards. I can find people who only support the reviews that put Andromeda up high but dislike the ones putting it lower, and vice versa. The issue with that is people then use it to fit their agenda rather than being open minded on it. There are some reviews that were pretty much calling Andromeda a mediocre game, but they had reasons I could agree with fir that conclusion, there are then some that put it up high saying it's better than other games out there, I could also agree with some of those conclusions so long as they had reasons. Nature of gaming is odds are people will have issues with criticism on something they like and then there will be issues where there are people supporting something that another doesn't like. It's why there's this "fanboy/hater" rift that literally happens with every game out there. I've seen people get called bungie militia, biodrones, 343 fanboys, bungie purists, etc etc. it's quite ridiculous people will come up with new names over disagreements.

It does improve on ME3 in a lot of ways. Your squad is more active, the ending isn't incomplete/wasn't hastily written at the tail end of development, it actually has controller support on PC, no overhearing conversations from random npcs for quests, actual exploration, no galactic readiness bullshit tied to mp, no DLC needed to make up for the ending, no stupid kid....I could go on and on because ME3 is the worst in the trilogy by far.

Lol at Joe calling out other reviewer's credibility. I love ya Joe but come on man...you work in the least credible critical field of any hobby.

I don't see how it's "4" when it's not a direct sequel to Shepards story and shares no ties at all besides being in the same universe. It's a spin-off, bioware even said the same thing. 

It's in the Mass Effect universe though. The technology they are using is using Mass Effect technology. It is the same aliens. Also, the universe is a big place. It's ok to leave the Milky Way and Shepard behind. He is not the only character in it.

Always thought complicated plots is not his thing - this is why he loves so much sandboxes. Bethesda horrible animation never bothered him, yet here he is all over it. I generally like AJ reviews but sometimes he is nitpicking just to stay funny.
