So anyone capable of typing more than 2 words a minute = angry in your eyes? Csb.

So, I'm pompous for posting facts? And you're justified and not pompous for completely ignoring them while you rage?

I didn't say the game was bad. But you're overlooking several facts:
-- it's a buggy mess even after it's many patches
-- animations are shit
-- enemy was boring compared to Saren/Reapers
-- poor dialogue options all leading to same conclusion
-- major plot dead-end on the creation of the Angara
-- major subplot dead-end on the secret benefactor, no DLC forthcoming
-- full of SJW propaganda

They did do some things right like the combat being the best in the series. The return of planet exploration was really well done (though I think it could've used a few one-off planets like in ME1). The Angara are the first friendly first contact scenario in the series, well done. Good voice acting overall.

But this is still a flawed game at best. All that supposition about the end quality of the game when there was development hell and people were flying out of this studio at different stages blossomed into this.

Did I say what you said didn't matter? Or are you selectively ignorant? You are the outlier if you think Andromeda is better than the original trilogy. Sorry that your word shouldn't be taken as gospel just because you posted your hate-filled opinion on the internet.

See I cannot comment on whether or not it is Better than the original trilogy, but this being my first ME game, I was satisfied with what I got. I am disappointed that they released a game with so many flaws initially, but I am happy that they took a pile of dog shit and turned it into something that I personally have enjoyed so far. I am taking my time, listening to all dialogues, doing all side quests, exploring entire planets. I do wish they had more sub planets to warp to or land on, but the ones I have landed on so far have been engaging enough to keep me going.

As of now I have only completed x2 planets, but overall the combat is fun, I feel the skills and build options are dynamic, and the story is engaging. The graphics are good enough, and I personally have not experienced any glitches or bugs yet.

I do wish they had DLC coming, and I hope they continue with the andromeda series in the future, but the IP is in stasis now so that is anybodies guess. Based on what I've played, I plan on finishing the game and I would love To eventually see an HD remaster of the original trilogy, I am a big fan of HD remakes since I wasn't a big console gamer in the past and missed out on some seemingly great games.

You didn't post facts you posted opinions. I didn't ignore them or rage, you probably didn't even read the post (further proving my point).

I didn't say the game was bad. yes you did, in an absurd pompous roundabout way
But you're overlooking several facts:
-- it's a buggy mess even after it's many patches. This 100% doesn't matter, the dev will have learned their lesson and future games won't be given to completely new teams that have no experience, and they won't force the game to be pushed out too quickly. This isn't something that you should judge the overall game on. Also you are making it into a bigger deal than it actually is. You are being a giant baby and having a tantrum over spilled milk.
-- animations are shit See above
-- enemy was boring compared to Saren/Reapers This is an opinion not a fact. And one I would 100% argue against. The Reapers are boring, their entire motivation is 'we were created to catalogue and destroy' that is such a fucking copout in terms of designing an interesting somewhat relatable villain. They aren't a good story element at all. The Kett are so much better. The cult mentality that echoes human cults, finding out what they do to prisoners is pretty emotional, the kett actually have motivation for what they do. The kett check so many more boxes from a writing/interesting storytelling perspective.
-- poor dialogue options all leading to same conclusion This is an opinion mixed with a fact, and the fact is incorrect. Not all dialogue options lead to the same outcomes.
-- major plot dead-end on the creation of the Angara There was supposed to be more games, there is no dead-end, the story just isn't finished.
-- major subplot dead-end on the secret benefactor, no DLC forthcoming See above
-- full of SJW propaganda uhh what

The Angara are the first friendly first contact scenario in the series, well done. Good voice acting overall. Oh look, all of the gameplay elements, which is the major part of the game you should be judging, are good. You and everyone else let yourselves be blinded by wonky animations and found any reason at all to hate on the game. You essentially forced yourselves to hate it simply because it isn't the original trilogy.

But this is still a flawed game at best. All that supposition about the end quality of the game when there was development hell and people were flying out of this studio at different stages blossomed into this.

Did I say what you said didn't matter?thats what I said to you, fucking moron Or are you selectively ignorant?are you? You are the outlier if you think Andromeda is better than the original trilogy.You have no actual statistics, you haven't done an in-depth study, stop talking like looking on Metacritic is the same thing as a scientific study Sorry that your word shouldn't be taken as gospel just because you posted your hate-filled opinion on the internet.but your word should?
You clearly think so because you post your opinion and call it facts. Also stop thinking so much of yourself, I don't hate you, I don't care enough about you to have any opinion about you. I don't give a flying fuck about you. People calling out your bullshit when you post it doesn't mean they hate you or that they are angry, it only means they are calling out your bullshit. If you cannot handle being called an idiot when you post idiotic shit on the internet then get off of it.

Blah you are confusing subjectivity and objectivity a little.

It may be mine and Timmys subjective opinion the game is bad.

Metacritic is a collection of subjective opinions. But since any one opinion doesn't fully influence the metacritic score we can take it as objective.

So in a nutshell, bad game is bad.

That is not how it works.

I seem to be the only one here who knows the difference between subjectively and objectively.

Objective - (of a person or their judgment) not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts.

My feelings or opinions in considering and representing the fact that Mass Effect Andromeda is a bad game in comparison to others don't effect Metacritic.

Going by the literal definition.

This might be easier to grasp on a game you don't have an attachment too.
I may think Orc Slayer is a great game. Argue all points in it's favour and leave a great review on Metacritic. My review won't skew Metacritic.
