I don't know where all the hate is coming from for Andromeda, to be honest. I, like pretty much everyone else, hated, hated, hated Mass Effect 3's ending (at least before they changed it through DLC) but the ME trilogy is still one of my favorite gaming experiences ever. Sure, the animations are jilted, but that's no different from the rest of Bioware's games. As to hating it for being a Western AAA game, look, I love Japanese games as much as anyone (this year alone I've bought Gravity Rush 2, Nier, Nioh, have Persona 5 on preorder, and will get Zelda whenever I eventually pick up a Switch) but that doesn't take away from the pleasure of Western RPGs. They're often a little janky (cough *Fallout* cough) and God knows that games like Horizon are absolutely going to slaugher them in the graphics department, but they pack in great stories and tend to be extremely memorable.
