They're about as believable and charming as krogan piss! Are...Are you suggesting that Krogans don't piss?

Interesting... first you bash a 'cheap and easy way to dismiss any legit criticism'... and then you proceed to easily and cheaply dismiss someone and insinuate that criticism of observed bandwagoning is motivated by buyer's remorse Not a way to go, I'd say. Haha seeing as I am madly in love with this game, that post made me laugh pretty hard! Apparently your love for the game is just you deluding yourself in order to justify your purchase ... I have to admit, that it's on one hand amusing and on the other puzzling that some people are so desperate to think that everyone hates the game, that they have to explain every review that says something positive or every person who likes the game (or criticize occurrence of excessive criticism) as people who are either bribed by Bioware/EA or relieving buyer's remorse. Like... how sad is the life of a person that cares so much to legitimize their dislike for a piece of entertainment? Like "I hate it (for whatever reason) or have issues with the thing, and that means everybody has to hate the thing and those who don't are either bought or delusional". Sheesh .

I noticed many posters who hate the game just got accounts here, so I suspect a lot of them are stirring things out of boredom.

On the flip side though at least if you like the game, or at least myself personally, sometimes these criticisms hit a bit close to home (though this is still unfair) because I want BioWare to continue making games. I want BioWare to continue making Mass Effect games if they want to. I want them to continue making games with Ryder...if they want to. So if A. these negative opinions start becoming the majority or B. if these negative opinions someone else reads them and says 'ah crap this game sucks' then not buy it, there is that much less chance that BioWare will/can make more games. Which is especially annoying because a lot, though not all, of the negative criticism are so friggin shallow. 'the facial animations suck'...and? There really is no danger to the people who hate the game to run into people who like the game. Unless said person wants everyone to agree with them so they can feel validated in their own opinions.

Yeah if the bad reviews over nothing affects future BW games, then those people better not even try and talk to me. If they want to spout pointless crap, that's cool, but never force someone to feel like you do. It makes you look stupid, like a troll and it goes no where constructive.

This review is too positive. We need more negative reviews like PC World and Smudboy.

this is such a cheap and easy way to dismiss any legit criticism towards this game. All these issues are real, and they aren't cherry picked because 'it's cool'. You're just engaging in some real information bias, probably seeking to relieve your buyer's remorse.. And your projecting your own experiences on someone else... The point of the matter is most of the issues in the game really do not effect that game that much one way or another. Granted I can see some of the bugs if they happened to me would drive me crazy but other than that...I just either disagree with the commentary or do not think those issues are big deals at all. Whereas there is a fair few people out there on the net that are letting these small insignificant things and then blwing them out of proportion talking about how the 'facial animations' ruin the game...say what? there are a ton of glitches in this game it's not even funny. If you insist this is fine, then you are just part of the problem with diminishing overall quality of alleged AAA titles. That being said, this is a continuation of a franchise in spirit. The facial animations being 'blown out of proportion', are they then? You try taking a conversation about the faith of mankind serious when you have a character that applied mascara with a baseball bat and then continues to express to most unnatural facial movements and eye positioning imaginable. Shitty animations impact gameplay and immersion. If you think these are minors issue, then that is that is your opinion. That doesn't make them small issues in general. If anything, you're just doing exactly what you just accused me off, 'projecting your own experience on someone else', which is what a review is to begin with ..... The extremely cluttered UI with menu within menu is a pure hassle. It's overly complex to the point where it becomes frustrating because it lacks all basic functionality. The crafting panel and journal are some of the worst offenders. Leading me to the journal, and more specifically the quests. They are just so incredibly dull. If anyone says these are massive step up, then they made a step up from bottom of the barrel. The quality of these quests is just non-existent. They don't do anything for the world building aspect. The entire 'Tasks' category can (and should) be completely ignored, and it will not have made a single bit of difference. To reiterate on the gliches, i've run into so many. Character pop in, floating enemies, getting stuck in geometry in the tutorial planet, animation freezing/skipping. This is an unforgivable state of affairs for a claim that is built on a pretty revered franchise, and one that is somehow to be categorized as AAA. This game is playable, although depending on how much you loved Dragon Age Inquisition, you'll likely find it great or just playable to the point where you have to drag yourself to the finish line while slowly being drowned by the ceaseless amount of dull filler content and world map icons. The worst defense of this game I have seen to date comes from people claiming all the criticism is the result of people playing it with Mass Effect glasses. This is a sequel in the Mass Effect IP, yes, it is only fair this is rated compared to it's predecessors, especially given how much Andromeda just copy pasted from the previous game in terms of context and setting. Also, the story is just inexcusably weak. 600 years away from the Milky Way and here we are again, fighting against bipedal race with guns and weird ancient deux ex machina space tech that for some reason only Pathfinders are able to interact with. It lacks all sense of creativity. If you enjoy this game, power to you, but the same amount of people or more, do not. Definitely not to the same extent. Criticism and praise go both way, it's a one sided validation thing. Edit: I'm quite literally astonished by the amount of justification for this game, especially in its current state. I loved the trilogy, and I'm very critical of Andromeda because of that. There are bunch of folk here basically implying criticism is just bandwagon behaviour (as if blind love for a broken product somehow isn't ...), literally claiming we should all praise this kind of shitty quality product more for the sake of Bioware making another copy pasted, probably even lower quality sequel. I;m still completely puzzled by the idea of someone who openly states to be, quote on quote, 'in love with this game', saying criticism is sheep behaviour and undeserved. Talking about seeing things through rose-tinted glasses. That is cognitive dissonance at it's core right there. It's just painful to see that people believe criticism comes from people who feel the utmost desire to break down the fun for others. That is just mind blowing. I find the zealous praise for a borderline broken product far more disturbing, or a display of literally going out of the way to prove people otherwise, despite clear proof for the state of affairs.

Criticism and praise go both way, it's a one sided validation thing. No issue with glitches... Only issue I have had with the UI is picking squadmates to go into the field with, that is difficult... These quests are great. The side quests in this game, a lot of them, are impressive. A lot of people complained after Inquisition about side quests being lacking in a various number of ways. In Andromeda you have side quests with choices, side quests which expand on the world, side quests where you, as a character, do not have to fire a single shot, side quests with consequences...and yet I have seen posters still saying that Andromeda does *NOT* have these things. Sure the 'tasks' are mindless filler. But almost every video game ever made has 'mindless filler'. I am ignoring most of them and it is not effecting my enjoyment of the game any. And the story is really, really solid. Its not always the framing of the story...because what you are talking about is the framing of the story...its what they do with it. Sure there is a lot of ideas that BioWare has done before, and again, and again, even in the trilogy, yet so far a lot of these ideas are presented in a fresh...interesting...and kind of spooky light. Its all about execution. And Andromeda, the main plot, is pausing to actually examine some of the issues that the trilogy touched on, but then barely stopped to explore before going onto the next action set piece where Shepard blew the hell out of some husks.

Criticism and praise go both way, it's a one sided validation thing. I thought the animations were fine during gameplay, facial animations for humans were hit or miss though. To be honest the side quests were a huge step up from not only Inquisition but previous Mass Effect games. From trying calm down angry colonists to helping thugs. There's definitely more meat to them as you were sent on a roller coaster ride of twists and turns. As for the main story, well..... I find it as Bioware playing it safe and going back to their roots. Haven't finished the story yet, but I imagine there's more to the remnant than just another Protheans. Lastly for the bugs and glitches well I'm sure you've hated The Witcher, Fallout 3/New Vegas/ 4, Skryim and any other open world games. Not that ME: A should be exempt though.

BioWare in general I think tends to play it very safe in terms of things, and fan service, because every time they try something new they get roasted for it. (DA 2...and now Andromeda to large extent) It will be really fascinating what form the dialog system takes, who the squad mates are, and if we get Ryder again in the sequel because a lot of the criticisms. Though it is fair to say one of people's favorite things about DA 2 *was* Hawke.

Something tells me there will be a lot of Jaal moments.
I saw Jaal with no shirt on in the Angry Joe Review video.
I cannot unsee that...
I agree it was bad. Horrible burn Victim went through my head. Then I said. "Bright side. Those look like good riding handles."

Except for 2 naked Jaals, Kallo falling through the floor and some endless loading loops, my game runs fine and I have had no issues with anything mentioned, but then again I adapt easily to changes in mechanics. It's just me, so it's not fair to judge others who struggle I guess, but everything is easy once I learn it. That's probably why I am baffled by people having trouble sometimes. Everything is just so easy for me.

Worse bug I have had last night, well I had two of them last night that was a bit irksome but the bug that got me was I was walking around the Tempest and saw empty space out by where the botany lab was supposed to be, so I went to go walk out it, and started falling out into open space over and over again...my own damn fault, it was kind of funny, but irksome.

LOL wtf? That's funny as heck! I have a really great gaming PC and everything on ultra so it might have caused this, but the scariest thing I saw was Podromos not loading and it looked like my settlement was gone.

I agree it was bad. Horrible burn Victim went through my head. Then I said. "Bright side. Those look like good riding handles." Did you see his pork sausage? Nah. I played 8 hours of the trial and couldn't take playing anymore. Figured I'd wait a year and see if the bugs got scrubbed out. I'd also play a Ryder that hated dad because you can't play one that really cared he died anyway considering you're not allowed to grieve for more than 5 seconds with a bored face. I never met Jaal as a result. Still, I'm disappointed that I didn't find another Bioware game to adore and I'm curious about the romances. So, I've looked at couple pics and some non spoiler romance content comparisons. Gotta say, think it's total shite that only three folks got sex scenes. "Different but Equal" is the way they should have gone. I'm similarly irritated that Solas has near no content, because it detracts from my enjoyment of him by a loooong shot. So it's not just Mass Effect I'm tsking at. It also severely decreases playability for me, because falling in love while saving the world is the main storyline I'm interested in. Just saving the world can potentially be covered ten times better in other franchises.

And Jaal is the best romance for a main plot story. Try again sometime or watch the vids. You might like it. And Jaal is a ken doll, just like Scott, so you see nothing but his firm ass LOL

"Boring, tedious intergalactic travel"
It saddens me that a lot of people are actually complaining about that. I found it pretty cool. I wonder if people who hated it felt the need to explore and scan everything all at once and maybe that's why this feature bothered them so much? All I know is they're probably getting rid of that for the next game and I think that will be a shame.

Nah. I played 8 hours of the trial and couldn't take playing anymore. Figured I'd wait a year and see if the bugs got scrubbed out. I'd also play a Ryder that hated dad because you can't play one that really cared he died anyway considering you're not allowed to grieve for more than 5 seconds with a bored face. I never met Jaal as a result. Still, I'm disappointed that I didn't find another Bioware game to adore and I'm curious about the romances. So, I've looked at couple pics and some non spoiler romance content comparisons. Gotta say, think it's total shite that only three folks got sex scenes. "Different but Equal" is the way they should have gone. I'm similarly irritated that Solas has near no content, because it detracts from my enjoyment of him by a loooong shot. So it's not just Mass Effect I'm tsking at. It also severely decreases playability for me, because falling in love while saving the world is the main storyline I'm interested in. Just saving the world can potentiometer be covered ten times better in other franchises. You get quite a lot of family stuff and emotional moments later. The prologue is just slow. And Jaal is the best romance for a main plot story. Try again sometime or watch the vids. You might like it. And Jaal is a ken doll, just like Scott, so you see nothing but his firm ass LOL Had nothing much to do with slow... I wanted to be a sad depressed person who was totally out of their element and half resentful of being shoved into the position of Pathfinder by a now dead father. But all you can be is mildly doubtful but excited to take on the task. With big grins for the Tempest introduction and telling folks you'll get the job done, you promise. In Inquisition, you can be doubtful, angry, snide. Then you get offered the job of Inquisitor and you have up to 6 ways of declaring what that organization is being devoted to. It can literally be a power grab, for the elves, for good, for mages, or just because it is right. Now at THAT point, being angry about the job wouldn't make much sense and so, the dialogue for that isn't present. You can be indifferent and murderous. But I love the chance for that narrative turning point. Again, in Trespasser the Epilogue, you can again be angry that the very people you helped are turning on you. The turning point for Ryder was a little early with Dad dying. And then the character gets no room to express hardly anything. And then, finally Ryder gets some legitimate facial expressions but they are all HAPPY. Thinking of DA2 here. When sibling or mother dies, you get legitimate mourning scenes and people to check up on you who are long term friends. Liam sort of checks up on Sara but still, I hardly know the man. That should have been the time the twin woke up. Where you'd have to break the news. And you could cry together. Not ,"yay! I get to be Pathfinder now!" Now I know better. I'll just play a Ryder that resented dad holding them back and couldn't give a crap he dies. And the story, what I saw if it, will fit perfectly.

My Sara was a sad mess for sometime and had a bonding moment with Alec, so I guess it was a bit different for me.

I love flight sims and such, but I honestly don't want that sort of thing to make its way into Mass Effect. I find it's sort of better to have more of a division of roles with the crew. The game mechanics necessitate that we're the ground assault team. I don't want to be both that and the pilot. If nothing else, it allows us to have another character to speak to.

Did you see his pork sausage? Nah. I played 8 hours of the trial and couldn't take playing anymore. Figured I'd wait a year and see if the bugs got scrubbed out.

Just saving the world can potentially be covered ten times better in other franchises. Trying not to spoil it for you, but a big part of the game is finding out more about your Dad and what he sacrificed to start up the Andromeda Initiative.

this is such a cheap and easy way to dismiss any legit criticism towards this game. All these issues are real, and they aren't cherry picked because 'it's cool'. You're just engaging in some real information bias, probably seeking to relieve your buyer's remorse.. When I see legit criticism I'll let you know. Clearly the only legit criticism is the criticism that you agree with... Apparently your love for the game is just you deluding yourself in order to justify your purchase ... I have to admit, that it's on one hand amusing and on the other puzzling that some people are so desperate to think that everyone hates the game, that they have to explain every review that says something positive or every person who likes the game (or criticize occurrence of excessive criticism) as people who are either bribed by Bioware/EA or relieving buyer's remorse. Like... how sad is the life of a person that cares so much to legitimize their dislike for a piece of entertainment? Like "I hate it (for whatever reason) or have issues with the thing, and that means everybody has to hate the thing and those who don't are either bought or delusional". Sheesh . I noticed many posters who hate the game just got accounts here, so I suspect a lot of them are stirring things out of boredom. Yes, why would they go to an unofficial forum to talk about their issues with the game? Nobody does that! Clearly they're shitposting to be "cool".

It does appear a lot of them are just creating accounts to stir things. As for the criticism well it does go both ways, judging how some people who dislike the game are reacting fairly negatively to Ashe's review.

Not everyone that has criticism to offer is "looking to stir things". Having a surge of interest and new users after a BW title was launched is very natural. Agreed, but there are some people who come in just thrash the game and the people who like it.
