Personal opinions on this one, granted some did have a bad launch but they made them games better with updates (which tbh shouldnt be that way if games not ready delay it)

I'm the only person who kinda enjoyed ME:A. Wasn't that bad.

narsaku2724d ago

Uhh, Yea it was.

You can like the game cus personal reasons all you want. For me personally, Peebee was adorable and saved the game for me.

But.. You shouldn't hide behind that and ignore the fact that it was released with characters learning DBZ fuuu-sion-HAAAA during several cutscenes of the game, or people falling through the world, or characters body's folding like paper oragami during cutscenes.. The fact that the story was unfinished, boring, uninspiring with clanky movement and LGBT/Middle East agendas thrown at my head every time I meet a new character in the fkn game.

The ~~~TWO~~~ alien races were boring, the threat was boring, the main character was his own comedy show that nobody in his own crew gave a shit about, and besides that the game was really just a bunch of big open areas with some typical sandbox content thrown into it to keep people from realizing it's a really short game by having them drive around a lot looking for artifacts or people's angry sisters and shit.

No.. The game was pretty bad... I'm happy you liked it though.

UltraNova2724d ago (Edited 2724d ago )

I've played through the whole 10hrs of the demo in a hurry in order to cover ground and see if I 'd like the game. Well I did not hate it but damn what a downgrade it was from ME3...the dialogue was boring, the protagonist... stiff and uninspiring...gunplay was ok while movement was hit or miss. Facial animations were done better on the ps3/360 era.

Suffice to say I wont be buying. Its a shame.

Takwin2724d ago

Read what narsaku said, minus the angry anti-SJW stuff, which I didn't see. But everything from the story to the gameplay to the graphics were really bad - and that is the core of any game.

Razzer2724d ago

I liked it as well. Damn good game, imo.

DarthSocio2724d ago

I uninstalled it yesterday, just couldn't be bothered to continue the story tbh. The writing is painfully bad

mochachino2724d ago

I didn't have any problem with the facial animations and the graphics were very good.

However, the game was extremely boring. So boring that I could bring myself to play it anymore after about 12 hours. Started off ok, but the characters and dialogue were horrendous. The missions were terrible and the main story didn't move along enough for me to care what was going on.

GamesMaster19822724d ago (Edited 2724d ago )

No it was good. and the Nomad driving parts were a billion times better than the past games. Just the story for me was lacking that spark. Yes game had bug's like most pissed out rushed game's do these days. But most of them have been fixed and game is great now.

raWfodog2724d ago (Edited 2724d ago )

I'm loving the game so far. Had the good fortune of playing the patched version without the ugly animations/glitches.
It's not of the same caliber as the original series IMO but its a good game in its own right. To each their own though.

Gaming4Life19812724d ago

I also really enjoyed mass effects andromeda, I played it from start to finish cause it was so good. I'll admit that it is not better than previous mass effect games but it's still great.

OB1Biker2724d ago (Edited 2724d ago )

I spend many hours enjoying it.
I think a lot of people don't understand what a bad game is. Disappointing =/=bad. Rushed out and unpolished at launch is also not the same as straight bad.

WelkinCole2724d ago

People were just expecting was too high. Remember ME last gen was rated 9.5 Up.

Personally its an 8.5 yes still very good but just not up to the level of previous games.

There were many worse games this year, barring Road Rage. Perhaps this should be “The 5 Worst Games I Bought In 2017”.

PygmelionHunter2724d ago

Whenever I see games like Mass Effect Andromeda or Valkyria Revolution on these lists, I think the writer perhaps didn’t play enough games in 2017 to find the actually crappy ones, or is just begging for hits.

Like, where is Life of Black Tiger? All of these titles are masterpieces when compared to that one.

For All Its Flaws, Mass Effect: Andromeda's Approach to Romance is Something ME4 Can Learn From

While Mass Effect: Andromeda was let in several key areas, one of its approaches to romances is something Mass Effect 4 should consider revisiting.

I hope Mass Effect 4 ignores the inferior prequels and instead closely follows the far superior Mass Effect: Andromeda and Dragon Age Inquisition.

anast144d ago (Edited 144d ago )

Mass Effect 4 should just make Mass Effect 1 but better with current tech. Fans would be happy. As far as romance, they should take notes from the Witcher and Cyberpunk.

Ristul144d ago

Later Bioware games have to little build up. You can have a normal conversation and all of a sudden BAM! The character you talk to becomes super flirty.

TricksterArrow143d ago

Reminds me of Baldur’s Gate. I wanted to practice some magic and Gale made it super weird. Not even gonna mention Astarion.

gold_drake143d ago (Edited 143d ago )

iii dunno about that.

the only really great and funny dating partner, is that outlaw guy anyways haha he was funny as hell.

other than that, i found every character to be very annoying.

ZeekQuattro143d ago

Shout out to Keri the Asari reporter. Current relationship status be damned as she's game either way. Anything for a good story. 🤣

IAMRealHooman185d ago

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast185d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine185d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast185d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman185d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast185d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman184d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

BioWare Thinks Mass Effect Andromeda Was Better Game Than Reception Suggested

BioWare thinks Mass Effect: Andromeda was a better game than what reception suggested; taught the studio not to shoehorn open-world without any meaningful content in it.

thorstein220d ago

I played it and it wasn't as bad as people said. Is it in the 8-10 range? No.

It's a 6-7, which means it's a solid game.

LordoftheCritics220d ago (Edited 220d ago )

Veilguard and Andromeda are of similar level to me.
6 to 6.5 ish

Though I think i enjoyed Andromeda's combat and sense of scale a little bit more.

XBManiac220d ago

Veilguard has better graphics.

neutralgamer1992220d ago

I agree with you It was a 6.5 type game. Gameplay was solid everything else was lacking. Playing at launch with all the issues was just absurd. EA could have let the developers keep patching and fix the game but they stopped just like they did with anthem. It’s crazy to think multi billion dollar publishers can’t afford to keeping patching their games get medium size developers can support the game for years

But when you have android wilson running the company what else can we expect.

OtterX220d ago

Except 6-7 doesn't translate as solid. 6 means a bit flimsy, but still good/enjoyable if you can look past the flaws. 7, a little less flimsy, and enjoyable. 8-10 would be "solid".

But I get your point. I skipped the game entirely, so I don't have an opinion on it.

H9220d ago

I played this game back when I wanted to give every game I bought a fair chance and finish it, it was the reason why I stopped doing so, god the game was bad

TheNamelessOne220d ago

I actually enjoyed Andromeda. It wasn't a 10/10, by any means, but I played it years after the fact, after a lot of patching, and I had a good time with it.

anast220d ago

Same, I enjoyed it too. I might even replay it soon.

TheNamelessOne220d ago

Might do the same, honestly. Went through the trilogy a couple months back.

raWfodog220d ago

I liked it as well, and also played it for the first time over a year after it was released. The original trilogy was a better story overall IMO but I still enjoyed Andromeda.

lellkay220d ago

The game is so unbelivably bad, it's laughable.

pwnmaster3000220d ago (Edited 220d ago )

It really wasn’t. Well for me nd I’m a big fan of the series.
Was it mass effect standard? No
But overall I thought it was a decent game.
6-7/10.

Armaggedon220d ago

You might want to try playing a truly bad game. Go boot up two worlds or gollum to get the perspective you need

MatrixxGT220d ago

Wow, two worlds…red ringed my 360.

Armaggedon220d ago

Lol. Its one of the only games that I have experienced buyers remorse with. The only one I can think of is riders Republic.

matt139220d ago

So delusional, the title was an embarrassment to the original trilogy. it’s the equivalent of 2042 to the battlefield franchise.

thorstein220d ago

2042 had a redemption arc and what exists now is a pretty good FPS.
