Replayability - Andromeda Vs ME1-3

I've replayed the MET many times.  I'm currently in the midst of a new run, maybe halfway through ME1, while still also playing MEA.  It helps to take a breather from the presently standalone MEA by playing MET.  As far as PC gaming goes, ME1 controls are surprisingly similar to those of MEA, other than when I try to accelerate in the Mako, which doesn't work out for me.

EDIT: I should point out that by the time I played the trilogy, all games and DLC had been out for like 4 years.  There was a lot there to play and a lot of things I missed.  MEA only has the one base game so far.  It's no surprise that I'm not playing it the same way as the trilogy.  That may change given DLC and more games, though probably only if Ryder carries through.  I don't, for example, similarly feel any need to replay DAO -> DA2 -> DAI.  In fact, the Dragon Keep assures that I don't need to since I can preset all the variables I want before starting in DAI.  For that reason, I'd rather play MEA2 as an import game over a Dragon Keep style thing.  That would keep me replaying in order to get different outcomes.

I love the original trilogy with all of its' faults. Mass Effect 1 was played to absolute completion three times. Mass Effect 2 was played to full completion four times. Mass Effect 3 was slightly interrupted due to the RGB ending, but I had just barely seen the ending for myself when the Extended Cut arrived. It didn't fester in my head for very long especially after Omega arrived. Andromeda and Inquisition have similar issues that just kills the completion of the game in me.

Played ME 1and 2 multiple times before ME3, played ME3 just the once. Terribad ending ruined the whole series replayability for me

Played dao at least 5 times. Dai 2 times. I'll probably play MEA just twice. The glut of forgettable side quests feels too much like a chore to do more than that in both games, but I'm unable to just ignore them For some reason if I'm playing .

Re-play value ?
Ok. I will start from the very beginning.

Baldurs Gate 1&2 - around 3-4 times both with all DLC's included.
KOTOR 1 - wow, i will say minimum 7-8 times.
Jade Empire - twice.
Dragon Age Origins - OMG. During all those years, 10 times probably.
Dragon Age 2 - 6-7 times.
Dragon Age Inquisition - 3 times i think. Tried 4-th with Qunari, but got bored with this big, open and empty world.
Mass Effect 1 - minimum 12 times
Mass Effect 2 - 10-14 times ? hard to say cause i got it first on PS3 /don't remember number of pt/
Mass Effect 3 - something between 7-10

Mass Effect Andromeda - 1. And i stopped at the beginning of 2-nd playthrough.

At the moment Andromeda has for me the worst re-play value.

I played the ME Trilogy so much (especially ME1, my favorite) that I know the dialogues by heart. So no I see no replayability in the ME:Trilogy. It just have to end. The only thing that might me consider a trilogy run for me is if they release a remaster of it.

ME:A is on the other hand a new game and is much more fun than something I played to death already.

I started a 2nd playthrough but put in on hold because I was getting a little bored. I figure I will wait until on the bugs are ironed out (hopefully including and upgraded CC) out and some DLC becomes available and will go through it again.

Once I do a complete Sara play-through with all DLC, I will save my final run-through (as Scott) until it is time to prepare for MEA2 (if it happens).

So...I guess for replayability, I would say a max of 3-4 for me on this game. DAI had about 6 or 7 (and really only had more than MEA because I wanted to enjoy all 4 voice actors and experience playing as a few different races/sexes). But I'll be honest, the final few run-throughs were really boring and I skipped alot.

These big games are just too much of a time sink with too little variation between runs. There has to be major story differences and/or a real impact of different dialogue choices to make it worth it, for me anyways. Playing an entire game again to really only change who yells stuff at me in the final mission is just not worth the time. I think DAI had more noticeable variability than MEA (ie, big story-changing choices like templar versus mages), and even those replays got old quickly.

In the meantime, I reinstalled ME1 and ME2. Gonna do a complete run through the trilogy again because it has been a while (and MEA made me feel very nostalgic). And honestly...I missed Wrex and Legion . Now that all the DLC is free for MET, I added Katsumi and Overlord DLC (which I never played because...I just didn't care enough about those 2 missions to spend money on them). This will be something like my 6th or 7th play through of the trilogy. Replayability here has less to do with different outcomes and more to do with...I don't know.  I just like the characters so much, that I don't mind the repetitiveness.  And..it is much more tightly packed, so it does not feel tedious.

Edited to add - In comparison, I played DAO countless times.  It just felt so different each time, and there are SO many variable to change (even the tactics of my crew).  I probably played it...eh...20+ times?  More?  Not sure.  It was one of the best games ever made, imo.  I would love to play something that immersive again with modern graphics and updated combat. But I don't think those types of games exist anymore (except for isometric games, which I don't like very much). I blame the voiced protagonist!

ME1 has aged absolutely horribly, ME2 would be replayable if the squad actually had any sort of meaningful role in the next game and no big stupid Reaper fetus boss battle that ruined an otherwise thrilling and exciting suicide mission...and ME3, well let's not discuss ME3 anymore. ME3 is burning hot, repugnant and offensive garbage.

ME:A might find itself in the same boat as those games in a few years too but I'm keen to do a second playthrough when the CC gets patched with more options. I tried to do a second playthrough of ME3 and before ME:A's release and it was a fucking struggle.
