Waited 5 years for this.. ready to quit after 2 weeks

i think I will probbly take a break and see what they do with regards to patching and dlc content.

The loot grind is very unrewarding (n7's are mostly shit tier and it takes 3-4 hours to unlock one.... Rinse repeat 190 times yay) and the gameplay isn't varied or fun enough to keep me grinding when the loot isn't even good. I seriously fear for future dlc content, if they make a significant amount of ultra rares and stick with the I-X character system it will be borderline impossible to unock new items without coughing up hundreds or grinding hours daily for weeks.


In me3 I could play for hours with even a max manifest because the gameplay was actually fun: In this I've been playing the last 2 days to get unlocks not because the gamemplay is fun or enganging. It's so one dimensional compared to me3 where you had a large variety of playstyles. In this most classes just boil down to ultimately kiting enemies around while shooting or camping with a vanquisher and spamming some power cells here and there. It's just not anywhere near as fun as me3. The characters feel like they have no depth and character to them.

Compare the krogan merc to the vorcha sentinel for example. The krogan merc is actually one of my favorite classes in this game but he sucks compared  to the vorcha. His flamer is weak, his voicelines are boring, he can't detonate his fire explosions, rage sucks compared to vorcha bloodlust. Meanwhile the vorcha is constantly regenerating health, he can detonate massive fire explosions with cluster grenades, and his voicelines are hilarious. Just 1 example but pretty much every character in mea feels like a lame nerfed versions of characters we had in me3, and they also neglected having most of the cool stuff they added in dlc make a return. I can only assume they are saving the best powers for dlc to sell more packs. It feels like they cut so many features and powers from me3 and we're left with an empty husk of a game in comparison.


It really feels like they didn't try their hardest to make a fun experience, instead it seems like focused on cluttering the loot pool as much as possible to make people desperate to buy crates to get those 1-2 good guns, and  they took away a ton of fan favorite guns and powers, again I can only assume they did this so they can reuse it for dlc in the future. 

Do you prefer bacon or steak? I know it's a random question, but your name brought it up.
