I think a 70+ score for this game is the result of some people being lenient on it because it's mass effect. If you look at the scores from some reviews... It's ridiculous. If any other game had those kind of problems, it would have a score around the 60s.  A game that could have been been an easy 90+ plus game if it weren't for its issues. So to alot of people, a 90+ game was reduced to 70+. The good things about the game can't make up for the bad parts. It deserves all of the shit it catches over it where it failed at. How many memes were created just from the facial animations from this game? You don't introduce a person the worse game out of a series before the rest of it.

I think it's the other way around, honestly. Having the names Bioware and Mass Effect attached to the game meant reviewers had higher expectations than if this had been a studio with less of a reputation and a completely new IP.

I think it's both ways. You have some people who are giving it a 1 out of 10 and others giving it a 8 or 9 out of 10. It's ridiculous either way but i think that people in the middle are still looking at the game with rose tinted glasses. No one wants the game to be bad. Everyone wants the game to live up to the others so they're trying to think of it as positively as possible for their sake more than others. No one wants a beloved series to not do good. 

Think of the elder scrolls games like skyrim. If you ask someone what they think of it and they never mention the bugs, you know that person is letting their bias color their opinion on it to such a degree, that you can't trust their opinion. Especially if they don't mention anything bad about it at all. If someone says the love the game but it has alot of problems then you know they're being more objective or trying to be.
