Love it or hate it?

This, you need an average, alright, indifferent, something just right in the middle.

Needs an 'yeah, it's alright I guess, could be better but it's not bad' option. Though that might be a bit long.

Badly needed.

My feelings aren't so black and white.

But I loved it more than I hated it for sure, so I guess I voted for that.

It seems that 'generic' is the common denominator amongst almost all those who have played it. So i guess that Bioware can join the line of developers,who are dropping the ball lately, when it comes to sequels.

I'm not gonna choose either option because I didn't love it, but at the same time, I didn't hate it. It's not a dumpster fire like some would have you believe, but the game's overall quality is definitely not as high as I would have liked and I think, in some ways, it's a step backward from the OT. There are just so many issues, ranging from small annoyances to pretty big problems, that prevented me from really enjoying the game. Each of these issues, on their own, really wouldn't bring the game down too much, but there's just so many and they start to add up. Andromeda has potential, I'm waiting to see what kind of DLC they come out with and I'm hoping whatever sequel Bioware makes will be greatly improved (no more steps backward, Bioware).

Love it for sure. It's like ME3 in how I feel like everything I saw was the "default" versions until I started browsing online and realized how much variation there is in the game after all so it's definitely worth a replay. It just sucks the story wasn't better but for what it's worth it still had some realized potential here and there.

Finished it late last night, but still have movie night and Peebee's final loyalty mission left as post-ending content. Flawed but good, like any individual ME game from the Milky Way trilogy imo. One thing it certainly does better than the previous games are the epilogue bits. Good balance of closure with teasing the future and subplots left untied. Looking forward to story DLC (and I hope they take post-end playthroughs into account, even if it's just a couple references, because they emphasized the whole "... and the adventure continues..." thing so well).

Also looking forward to when they're done with patches and DLC support so I can play all over again and formulate my final verdict.

Needs a third option, 'Meh'

I like it very much and am looking forward to more adventures with the Ryders. I hope we get them.

I love it so far. I've just landed on Voeld and I'm really enjoying the game so far. I've thought that the characters of your crew are utilized better than ME1 did at the start of the franchise so you get to know them a bit better. I enjoy the scaled back focus on combat so far as well. The original ME had a lot of exploration and discovery, much like MEA, where you can go long bouts without a firefight, and when you do they are brutal and fast paced and then over quickly.

Is the story perfect? Absolutely not. Was the story perfect in the original game? Absolutely not. A lot of people hail ME2 as the greatest in the franchise, but besides the great characters (all of which are sidelined heavily for the final game in the trilogy) the story of the game was pretty weak and extremely disjointed from the overall story the trilogy told. Obviously that was due to ME3 scrapping a lot of the ideas of the game, but now that the trilogy is fully realized, ME2 is left having a disjointed story that fits very inconsistently and awkwardly in the middle of the overall story of ME1 and ME3. You could almost cut out the entire game and just take the story of ME1 directly in to ME3 and miss nothing from a story perspective, other than missing the introduction of the Illusive Man. Obviously you would miss out on a lot (the characters, the Suicide Mission, Harbinger etc.) but as far as the Trilogy's story, you don't miss a thing.

That being said, I LOVE the original trilogy. I'm just trying to say I think there must be a number of people that hate Andromeda because they have rose-colored glasses of the OT and just don't like change.

I enjoy having Ryder as the main character. I love Shepard, but I like having a new story with a new character who is a very different personality. I'm not very far in the game, but I do hope Bioware continues with this storyline and with Ryder.
