Mass effect andromeda IS a really good game!

Older games deserve to be discussed, and besides, this forum gets so little traffic that its ok to bump older threads if you got something to say about the game in question.

MEA is great game. I've beaten it twice, and will play it again. The game works well in all areas. There are planets that were bit lame on the visual department, but thats my only whine about it.

I bought this game on a sale but have no intentions of downloading it. This thread got my attention, though, and makes me want to play it so I can form an opinion about the game on my own. If it's DA: I in space that's a hard pass because I own that game and I couldn't even play it for an hour

Yep. Dragon Age: Inquisition was one of the worst games I've played in recent years, placing it with the likes of Thief (reboot) and Little Big Planet 3. If worst games exist from 2013+? I'm glad I never tried them_

From what I know of Andromeda it's considered far worse than Inquisition in almost every aspect; based on overall forum and critic reaction. It is not a beloved game by any means. That as much I know.

The game itself was fairly amazing to me. Then again, I did buy it for only $7 on a black Friday sale. Side note, I didn't go to that sale cause of black Friday, I went with my grandfather who needed something from the store and that's when I spotted the game and bought it at that price.

That being said, the game defiantly deserved it's harsh criticism upon release, given how bug-ridden the game was back then.

Coming from someone who adores the original trilogy (ME2 is my favorite game of all time) and was waiting for MEA with bated breath, I definitely think the game is...fine. And when we're talking about a franchise as incredible as Mass Effect, "fine" is deeply disappointing. For me, it comes down to much, much weaker writing than the original trilogy. The characters' stories don't have the same love given to them, the overall narrative is a lot weaker, and, yes, the fetch quests feel like keep coming forever. It reminds me of something the creative director of the Witcher 3 said: "No FedEx quests in my game." MEA is full of FedEx quests. DAI and MEA both suffer from the same problem for me--by greatly expanding the size of the world, the devs didn't have enough time to make each quest as interesting or character-driven as the ones in the first trilogy, and I think that crunch comes through when you think about how amazingly well-crafted the Milky Way galaxy was in the first ME games. The asari, the salarians, and the turians as the major powers in a galactic civilization that is only just meeting humans, the minor species like the elcor, hanar, and batarians that are so full of personality...the galaxy feels so richly designed. Andromeda...has the kett and the angara. Sure the combat is fun, but when the story, world, and characters are so, so much weaker...that's not much of an ME game in my book.

Is D.A.I. really that bad?! I'm at the 70+ hour mark & it's good so far. As for M.E.A., I've already said my opinion on that game.

@BigCat2K20: Beat Inquisition on Nightmare, before DLC came along or what patches may have improved the experience. Not going to consider the current state of the game but the experience I had

Story was bloated and tedious. Villain was very cheesy and poorly done, the plot to end the game was pretty stupid. Both being bad boss battles.

Mission structure is exactly what you would find in a poorly made MMO (go here, do one of three boring missions, have a cookie, rinse and repeat) everything respawns in the exact same spot, very suddenly and in a overly scripted manner. Which would be fine if the combat was good; however_

Tactical Battle mode has a really bad camera, yet it's worth noting I found Origin to also have a terrible camera. Very clunky and just very basic. Free roam combat is basically a F2P MMO, hits don't connect in any satisfying way, looks really bad, handles really bad, and I never feel good for winning a fight.

Could go on-and-on. However outside of graphics, I got nothing nice to state about Dragon Age: Inquisition. Mind you, I never claim my opinion is law. If you find it fun? we likely just enjoy different types/ or at least aspects of games. And that's fine in my view. DA:I did win Game Awards after all so some clearly enjoy it. For what reason however? . . I could not say.

@RSM-HQ: Whoa, you did have a crappy experience in Dragon Age Inquisition. There a couple of things I agree with you on: tactical battle mode is bad, story is more perplexing and not so great of a villain.

yes it is .
