Unpopular Opinions?

I've only been playing for five hours or so, but I so agree, I almost cried when I saw the Tempest....it has nothing on the Normandy.

And the Nomad? It's just the Mako with better wheels. Fuck WASD steering aaargh.

Actually love ME1. Still play it, either alone or as part of a trilogy run.

- I don't agree with the claim that "this game does not feel like Mass Effect at all". Priority missions and loyalty mission often gave me the same old feelings.

- I like the "juvenile writing". We are supposed to do a fresh start in a new and unexplored galaxy. What we need are young and enthusiastic people, not gloomy characters tied to a dark past. Besides, even if they have it, we are now 600 years away, so, how could it be of any use for the story?

- I am in love with default preset female character #9. Choosed it at first sight. Never regretted that decision.

- Cora is as boring as Ashley

- I wanted an option to punch Liam in the face during or after his loyalty mission

If Bioware were to make a sequel to ME3 bringing Shepard back, the game would sell better than MEA

- I like this game, with the caveat that the last fifth of it is a fucking slog.

- I mean, it's worse flaw to me isn't the writing or the animations or the standard, tropey plot, but that fact that periodically while playing I would think: Man I am going to play the hell out of the original trilogy after this.

- I like Liam, even if I don't think I'll ever be able to romance him. Vetra is super boring.

- The Tempest is terribly laid out. This game made me miss the elevators.

- I freely admit to not getting all the background information I could, but when it came to Sloane and Reyes (even though I quite liked Reyes actually) they both seemed typically terrible mob boss folk and when it came down to it my choice during the 'duel' wasn't who I like better but would my Ryder really let the sniper take the shot. The UO being that I don't prefer one over the other.

- The romances are fine. Not great, not terrible. Just. Fine.

I guess the overall point of this UO post is that for a game that seems to be fiercely polarizing, I found it to be okay. Perfectly decent, a good waste of a few hours, nothing to write home about but nothing to write angry about. And actually that might be even worse than loving or hating it.

I don't think it's possible to 'pussify' the Federation any more. Section 31 was the most interesting part of it; and the Maquis were in the right. 

the Enterprise has enough firepower to vaporize entire cities...the Tempest lacks even a peashooter

Unpopular opinions? Yeehaww

I yawned myself silly through nearly every hour of my 129 hour playthrough

I never felt challenged by the environments, outlaws, the Kett or the Archon (he had a the face of a cute grasshopper)

Ryder was not convincing in any aspect (leader, thinker, fighter, lover)

SAM should have been the end boss - how to remove him from Ryder's head without dying

Australian accented Angarans: just NO.

I felt the combat although fun, was too fast and furious *press a button and something awesome happens* and much prefer the pausing, aiming and setting up of combos etc with squadmates

The Tempest is inferior in everyway to the Normandy: its appearance, its layout and its sounds (when it accelerates/takes off/lands)

The MEA soundtrack should not be called music but rather oblique space age(ish) experiments with sound

The Krogans with facepaint looked stupid. Kesh looked a little bit too real like a close up of a cane toad.

I wanted all the superfluous npcs to stfu over the radio during the final battle - the Citadel (dlc) style casual/cheesey/cutesy banter wrecked the atmosphere of the final battle.

People like to think the combat in MEA good, and it would be true if this was another game but it's not. Andromeda's combat system is not Mass Effect and it doesn't fit the series. I want cover to cover shooter back

I did play it like that. It would've worked if enemies didn't come from 360 deggrees

Well it wasn't like that in MET
