I'm starting to think David/Bob from Accounting was pulled out of the graveyard by a spell card and is now taking us for a ride in these forums.

I, like many others thought Bioware dead after that load of tripe called Inquisition, but Bioware were quick to let us know that ME:A would be made by another team and in general was to be disassociated with Inquisition. Yes they were trying to distance themselves from that failware.
Anyway I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and go with ME:A, and after some hours of play discovered it to be just as big a load of tripe as Inquisition, and a large dollop of failware.
It's a pity that future generations will believe this to be the true Bioware and embrace it, and thus future Bioware games will become half arsed mmo shooters. What am I saying? They are already there.

Pretty petty and callous of you to say something like that. Not surprising, though. It's like all of you can't even fathom how someone might have a different opinion in your secluded little refuge here on the internet from all of the criticism Andromeda is receiving. We should just agree to disagree and leave it at that. You come in here trying to prove an argument that no one is having, insult myself and others in passive agressive way and fall back on "in my opinion" now when multiple people told you that it's wrong? Then you use evidence that is irrelevant to the point and chide others for disagreeing with you, accusing them of being apologists, petty and liars when they simply point out something of known record that happened, against the tide of the internet rating games on an unreliable aggregate website vs the long time folks on here who witnessed the complining of the said game here? No. You're not getting the privilege of saying agree to disagree. You're assertions are wrong, your demeanor is pitiful, your arguments are terrible and almost everyone here knows it. Ahh yes, of course! I've been insulting you! I'm so sorry!! Was that before or after you told me to "shut the fuck up, you fucking moron." And of course I'm just wrong, because you're right! Dissenters are in fact allowed on this forum, you know. Just agree to disagree. Stop seething and ignore my posts if they anger you this much. It's just a game.

Naw, you got it wrong. DICE is a great developer. So BF4 had it's issues, big ones at launch. But have you played BF4 now....It's absolutely amazing. BF1 is a return to form. Very good game.
Battlefield 3 is one of the greatest MP FPS of all time... So..Yeah.
DICE is pretty good. Don't insult DICE.
More like, SJWare or EAWare.

I think you're making a mistake here. suikoiden's posts don't strike me as being all that purposeful. They strike me as the posts of a genuinely wounded person. The ignorance is a byproduct of the distress, and the button-pushing, I think, is essentially accidental.

I just find it weird. People talk about ME 1/ DA O with a lot of respect and awe...as if they are the ultimate pinnacle of gaming that can never really ever be surprassed unless you are talking the Witcher 3. And while ME 1 especially did have its special moments....both games were also clunky messes which made a lot of questionable story and character decisions. Liara's fawning over Shepard for instance? Need I say more...wait I forgot apparently most people like being slobbered over. ...but at least they did work as games and the writing was consistent. Also: The games industry, the way story is told in games specifically, has changed EXTREMELY since the days of ME1 and DAO. Witcher 3 is larded like that because it does represent much of that change/evolution. Larded? Lard is fat. Do you mean lauded? lard
lärd/Submit noun 1. fat from the abdomen of a pig that is rendered and clarified for use in cooking. verb 1. insert strips of fat or bacon in (meat) before cooking. 2. embellish (talk or writing) with a variety of expressions. "his conversation is larded with quotations from Coleridge" laud
lôd/Submit verbformal past tense: lauded; past participle: lauded praise (a person or their achievements) highly, especially in a public context. "the obituary lauded him as a great statesman and soldier" synonyms: praise, extol, hail, applaud, acclaim, commend, sing the praises of, speak highly of, pay tribute to, lionize, eulogize, rhapsodize over/about; More

No apology? The game is broken at launch for me on the PS4, just like Inquisition for the PC two years ago. To the bargain bin you go Bioware. You might make games that appeal to pew-pew (Press "A" and something awesome will happen...) fans who like amateur-hour writing and no polishing on voice acting. I admit, I was stupid buying a Bioware game hoping the magic that they found in Origins and in the Normandy would pass onto an entirely new generation of writers and designers. Bioware... you're just a cheap and poorly-executed copy of what you were. Stop calling yourself Bioware. DICEware! Anyone wearing a Bioware badge is now just a pretender. Good luck in the real world because thanks to your managers, leads and EA-meddling, you're not special anymore. Well, I said it two years ago if the trend continues... the IPs will end up in someone else's hand and who knows? It might end up with someone who actually loves the franchise instead of treating it as a burden. Mediocrity is the new high, huh? Agree, but just to be fair, DICE will do much much better in facial animation and even stroytelling.

The game is much better than Mass Effect 3 which was basically Gears Effect 3 that tried to be serious and epic and was instead an awkward, boring mess with hardly any replay value. MEA needs polish but the story and characters are an improvement and refreshing. The writing hits a few lows for all the highs, but nothing to warrant your protest. I recently tried replaying ME3 and the voice acting is so robotic. Basically "We'll Bang, Ok?" type bad. The story itself in MEA has pacing issues at times but the religious themes and Indiana Jones Nazi dominance/quest for the Holy Grail in space kicked ass (if you have a brain and can analyze the story and all its side content beyond face value). If you're still around registered on the forums as a so called "fan", and just now deciding to leave after a hissy fit now instead of during ME3, I question your thought process. Otherwise, I imagine you will be here posting again when the next dlc or game comes out and your thread has no purpose. You bet I will... just for you. However, let's make it clear: I want Bioware to succeed. They hold the two franchises I love. I want them to be better, smarter and successful than the rest. I guess that's too much to hope for. There is a point to this thread... mine. That's what these forums are all about. " I recently tried replaying ME3 and the voice acting is so robotic. Basically "We'll Bang, Ok?" type bad." Sure if you play male Shep. Play female Shep. Huge difference in quality of voice acting. Objectively speaking.
