Currently playing the game and I am really enjoying it. Unfortunately all the negative reviews it received both from the media and consumers has no doubt played a role into putting the franchise on the back burner at Bioware. This is unfortunate as there aren't too many good games out there with space exploration theme and Mass Effect is just a handful of them.

EA f***ed Bioware hard here. Patch 1.08 was how Bioware wanted the game to be at release. They warned EA that they needed an extra 2 months to polish up the facial animations and test for more bugs. But EA wanted the game out before 2016 fiscal year ended. As a result, game got released unfinished and got destroyed by bad reviews. It's actually pretty decent now after 1.09. Still a few bugs in MP but overall, a fun game.

I think people are boycotting this for the same reason they voted for Trump. Because they are idiots, racists or homophobes who are sick of seeing the last bastion of hetero dude-bro gaming disappear. It's a great game with stunning visuals, great missions and maybe the story is a bit short but the side quests are great. The anti sjw comment above just wasn't needed - Don't boycott just because you hate Trans people and the game happens to have 1 in the whole universe.

uneducated leftist snowflake triggered !!! Go home mate ya , ya might melt. "The anti sjw comment above just wasn't needed" and then you go on a rant like a little girl. Pathetic

I wouldn't play it if it were free. Seriously. I'm never going to play this SJW vomit. As far as I'm concerned it's not a part of the Mass Effect series.

it basically isnt. different & completely new dev team who didnt understand wat gave the series its identity in the first place. their studio was created entirely to assist the original dev team with DLC... • move from UE to frostbite engine for no reason gave them a huge speedbump either due to the engine not playing nice with RPG elements, or them not knowing how to code them in...idk which. probably both. • they tried to make procedurally generated planets & scrapped it years later when they couldnt shoehorn a proper story into the gimmick that they couldnt really get working properly in the first place anyway. • a ton of employees left. they hired replacements with more focus on advancing strange political agendas (making legitimately beautiful real-life models ugly ingame for seemingly no reason) than doing their actual jobs properly (the animations?? AAA title? hello?) ...then literally every other bioware dev team had to step in to help them cobble together wat passes for a presentable product, which by the way is the only reason this game is even playable at all.

I actually think it's more to do with them not having worked on a full fledged game by themselves like this before, I also think the proc gen planets was just an excuse and was never a real thing especially considering the engine used. Third point is completely valid.

This video summarizes nicely what went wrong. https://youtu.be/MYvJhe9dMtU

I personally loved the game and I have been gaming for 30 years ... I saw nothing wrong with the animations , the controls were fluid, the combat and upgrade system were great.Most importantly the story was good.

I have played early access games with more polish than this game.

Mass Effect: Andromeda drops Denuvo, thanks to latest patch 1.09

I had one planet left to explore, colonize, and I couldn't take the boredom any longer. I want to finish the game so I could say I had done so but I uninstalled it. I love the previous 2 games but this one is just garbage.
