Has your opinion changed for any reason?

Fixed that for you

Stopped playing because I wasn't enjoying it. Patch isn't going to fix what I don't like about it. So, no, opinion hasn't changed.

Since, while I may have imagination running around somewhere in my head, I don't have the talent or skill to put anything close to this together my opinion on this hasn't changed a whit. I'm grateful to the people who did all this work. I'm enjoying it. Some bits irk me, some bits I love... and some give the feels.

Things that are broken, I have faith, will be fixed. Things that don't, or can't... well... I refer to my first statement.

I still like the game. It is still about an 80 for me. Been taking a break from it to do a playthrough of DAI. A game that is so similar but still so different from MEA. DAI is a game that has grown on me over time and I suspect MEA will grow on me to. Still like the trilogy more.

I'm starting to warm up to it. I think that patch made things a little better for me because the characters eyes and plastic stoic look of the characters was a bit creepy. After establishing some outposts, i'm starting to feel a bit more involved in the story, but only because i feel i'm making a difference finally. I still feel the overall story is lacking a bit, but as i mentioned in other threads, the game starts to be a bit more interesting once you get to Kadara and Elaaden and Aya.

I've done Drack and Cora's loyalty missions so far and both of those were pretty good.....just really impressed with the environments and art direction this game implements....so idk...i was highly critical of this game when it first came out, mostly because of the look of Sara/animations/ plastic doll visuals, but the patch made things better and i guess once i got to play the game for myself......well for me the game isn't the end of the franchise as some was going about on youtube (i mean folks are saying this was the end)

Story is a bit meh, (especially in the beginning) and that is a major flaw since the first 5- 20 min of any game should be able to pull you in automatically but i founfd myself just goin' through the motions until waaay later on in the game. In any case, it's going to be tough to top the Reaper storyline where the entire galaxy was exposed to the threat, but I'm feeling the good definitely outweighs the bad here, because this game is just so huge...and i'm nowhere near to completing it....

I am still really disappointed. This is so far the only Mass Effect where I just stopped playing and moved on to other games before ever finishing. I do plan on returning to the game and earning the Platinum trophy, but I have little attachment to this game like I did the others.

To me, the thing they screwed up on the most was the world building, or the lack thereof. With the original trilogy (as early as just the first game), I felt like I was part of a living, breathing world (or galaxy). You may only see a tiny portion of galactic civilization in the first game, but I actually felt like it could really exist. Here, I just feel like there is absolutely nothing outside what I am actually shown. It's as though there is nothing outside these few colonies and those couple of settlements of whatever that new race was called. It's hard to describe, and part of it I know is because we are basically founding a new civilization for ourselves instead of being dropped into an existing one of thousands of years worth of history, but I don't think that excuses the overall lack of world building outside of what we are building for ourselves.

The glitches are annoying, but those aren't what made me lose interest. I just couldn't care about the world this game was showing us. Maybe an Andromeda 2 can fix this.

Agreed.

The characters gain a lot of depth from the banter.

I'm liking it a little more atm.

3rd pt new gender and the patch are getting me back to where I was a bit after launch.

So I'm slightly more positive about it right now which might even be why I made this thread come think of it.

So thanks I guess?

I was quite impressed with this too...the chatter, no matter what two squadmates you have in the nomad, is pretty impressive....they all play off of each other well.

Nope. I liked the game after my first PT and liked it the same after my second. Now I'm just waiting for DLC and more patches. Maybe my opinion will change once everything is done with the game.
