Because I wasn't sick of this game until it finally ended after 200 hours. I always complete all of the content in RPG's, in order to give them a fair rating. Some console games are more torturous than others to plow through. This one wasn't too bad, though. It definitely wasn't a 40-hour dropout. Could never play it from the beginning again, though. Can't believe people even do stuff like that. No life. Eh, a lot of people pull off multiple playthroughs that run less than 50 hours. They could play the game four times and have spent the same amount of time you did on a single run, so "no life" seems like a funny reaction considering the actual time investment could be identical (or less). I'm not replaying this one for the time being myself, but I've seen a few people do an NG+ run that finished the main plot in 10 hours.

I've come close a few times, but it was mostly because of bugs and tech issues. I quit my Scott Ryder game because I just couldn't stand the voice coming out of my character. Sara has been a lot better, but I had bug that wouldn't let me complete Peebee's LM that caused me to rage quit and not pick it up again that day. So I'm still trying to get through the first playthrough. My biggest bug was in Drack's mission. Almost quit because I couldn't finish it and make him loyal. And he is my favorite in ME:A. I almost quitted my first playtrough for the amount of glitches and bugs. I heard there are alot especially in the console versions. I did not pay a full prize for wondering over and over again if something has bugged again or am I just a stupid player.

After you get your ship and go to the first planet, I stopped playing after reading news of further customization options being added later. I would rather wait to be able to make my character look more like I want them too look before spending anymore time on a playthrough. I really don't have any ambitions to playthrough the game more than once as it will already take 50 or so hours for just one. I have too many other games to play.
I would be nice to get some clarification on when or what the new customization's will be, and if we will have to create an entirely new character to use the new ones, or we can get a "make-over" like you can in The Old Republic at a Kiosk or Station.
Right now I only do the Multiplayer and Apex Missions with my 3 Teams. Until I get word of what is going to be patched in, I wont play the Campaign....but I really want to.

That's exactly how I felt in Inquisition, but I haven't experienced it in ME:A. Still enjoying the game 100 hours in. Sure it can sometimes get repetitive, but I haven't felt that same sense of burnout yet. Probably because all the side content is a bit more interesting and structured.

Yep, about 40 hours is what i was able to tolerate this mess of a game. I moved on to better games and glad i did. ME:A was a utter waste of my time.

I really wish there was a mode in New Game + that has all of the grindy fetch quests remain completed (if you completed them), while allowing you to repeat the main story, loyalty, and major planetary missions.
Hell, that would probably make the game significantly better overall, if not a fair bit shorter.

^ fygee Gave a like because of the .. yhym.. <cough> You made a very good point and maybe cuz of the avatar looks cool? Okay, mostly because of the avatar Anyway, I have played like "30 hours +" and it's impossible to complete the game not grinding for anything - resources, pointless quests, upgrades, ui is horrendous. It's all the same and boring as Inquisition, but the latter seems to be polished in comparison to ME:A at least. You know when the game is bad when it's not worth pirating. So, I'm telling You all - I downloaded it. Played it. Uninstalled it. Won't touch it again. :gentleman:

I feel I must have a personalty disorder. The more I play the more I want to quit, but I don't often stop reading a book, watching a movie or playing a game until the end, no matter how bad I think it is.
Fortunately, I am very near the end, I think I will finish it up tonight. Then it goes on the shelf, and no I will not buy any DLC or the next ME game. I am done with Mr. Walters and the rest of the clowns at Bioware/EA, they won't get any more money out of this sucker.

Well I finished it! My playthrough clocked in at 110 hours. Which is slightly ridiculous -- yes, I did every single itty bitty side quest and scanned nearly every system.
My suggestion to BioWare would be: fetch quest-style sidequests only appear after the game is completed. This gives players something to do if they want to linger in the world AFTER they've completed the main story.
I believe they are trying to enrich these worlds they've created it. I get that. But quests don't need to be attached to these little "enrichments." We can overhear people talking about things; that doesn't have to lead to a "please find my friend" quest.
The repeated random encounters with kett / outlaws / remnant also needs to be reworked.

I might play again if they actually fix the Shitty CC and buggy NG+ but as it stands right now its not likly going to happen. :smh:

I have, as ran into new game+ balancing issues and slot limitations and useless squadmates. I hope they patch some issues so i will wait for the patches. If not ill go play other games. Hoping They cut back on the general swarmyness the characters in the game have. No one takes their tasks seriously starts to tear at my suspension of disbelief. Choosing only professional or logical dialogues still does not stop Ryder from being a fratboy.

Well I didn't stop playing in the middle of the game, who does that? But I finished it more than a week ago and still haven't started another PT. I remember the first time I played DAI, started another PT 4 seconds after finishing the game

Yep, I deleted the game to make space for Nier Automata and I don't regret it. Anderoma was alright for a bit but the space between fights was so boring and the those boring puzzles were final nail in the coffin for me.

I have finished the game but on another run, I just stopped. I went back to it a week later thinking I just needed a break from it but what I discover is that I just don't care about any of it, at all. I am not even remotely immersed in it. What really is interesting to me is that I just started playing ME3 of my MET run after stopping MEA and I was starting to feel that looming depression as I was the galaxy I love and species I love face what could be their very end. ME3 to me is so depressing in tone because of that. You don't feel a lot of hope but you muddle through it, and part of why it feels that way is because of the how immersed I am in the universe and characters. If you swapped ME3 with MEA, I would not really care all that much and probably would feel it was for the best if they all just died.

Once I finished the main story and all the side quests that don't involve randomly scouring the map with no direction and no clues I stopped. It is not that I don't enjoy the game, only that I am waiting for the DLC to come out. Can't wait for it.

180 hours and on 2nd play through (plus just finished the book...the book really brought things together for me) There is a book and the book makes the game better?

Started an NG+ on insanity. Waiting on more patches along with taking a break to make the experience a bit more fresh feeling. Trying to get into multiplay which also needs its patches.
