@RS13: Trump would defend ME:A. It´s his thing...

@SingletreeAve: "If the combat is close to as good as what they showed in the previews then I'm in. I could really care less about the story and all the canon crap that the elitists care about."

Yep... The new ME fanbase in a nutshell.

@texasgoldrush: Yes... Because is good...

But ME:A is great... Because is bad...

Ok... Now I´m confused...

These new ME fans are complicated...

@AlexKidd5000: People are not paying attention. Sure ME andromeda team is different, but is the same lead writer than ME3. The difference is not between ME3 and ME:A, the difference is between :(ME1 and ME2 team) VS (ME3 and ME:A team).

@EricDWright: "Maybe EA didn't pay for a good score."

Like they did in ME3?

@JEF8484: So... The only people who should be on the comments are fanboys? It´s a way of see things...

@Saxondale: "Why did they dumb it down? Did Bioware assume that the outrage over the original ME3 ending meant that their audience wasn't highbrow enough to appreciate nuance and subtlety?"

No... It's the other way around. They know that ME fans are long gone, what remains is Bioware fanboys. So... They just got relaxed. ME3 fans normally accept everything without questioning... so... minimum effort from the devs...

Oh... and almost forgot..."nuance and subtlety" in ME3 endings? LOLOLOL... You are a funny men.

@pandehz: "I guess EA did not pay Gamespot."

Well... That says something doens´t it? EA games are used to have good scores, even crappy games as ME3. So it´s good to see a change.

@mondovious: So... No arguments why it deserves an 8, but it is ok to say that the men who is giving plenty arguments in this review is wrong and "possibly did not bother to even fully play it"... Yep... New ME fanbase right here...

@pandehz: Because there are a lot of COD fans out there?

ME1 and ME2 were the best ME games. No multiplayer.
