| Ariakon said: 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 Bioshock'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. |
While I've avoided a lot of videos and stuff due to spoilers, I think some of it is coming from the fact they have been apparently making this game for 5 years (or 4 after they completed ME3s DLC that no one played) and then people say 'This is the best they can do.' Yet, with Fallout, no one cares because they know the animations and stuff are crap. 
All game series and developers excel in different areas. I think some people didn't like the DA:I graphics or animations but I liked them, compared to the previous games.
This said, it's got a hard time living up to ME2 in general gameplay, story etc. I did always wonder how they were going to follow up from 'being that will wipe out all life', but I guess I'll find out next week when it arrives. Maybe the dev team should leave ME behind and make something else, still sci-fi, mind you.
... whatever happened to those rumours of another Bioware RPG?
Hmm, pie.
