My gripes with it are: cover shooter (didn't expect anything else, but hoped for it), the strange facial designs (uncanny valley trip), but reason not to buy is Origin and EA in general.
What I love is the interesting setting and character design.

I ain't a fan of EA or using origin but I love Bioware. You can tell EA won't fuck with them cause they know their games always make money.

I agree on the covet system, to MUCH focused on movement. As for facial expressions, probably needs a few tweaks but still could tell when they tried to convey what emotion they were feeling when there was no dialogue at least on the humans.

True, I like Bioware too. Origin sinks it for me. That won't change. When I used to launch Origin my smooth as oil PC goes more like glue in 5 seconds flat. even after reinstalling. I hate that piece of software. I'm currently scoping for a legal way of maybe importing it in a version that doesn't require origin, but it seems they don't exist anymore.

I'm probably gonna buy it late after release and use a origin 'workaround'

I feel like after ME3 EA shouldn't rush Bioware when making a new Mass Effect game.

I could careless what the media say about the game I've seen enough of it to know that I'd love the game and enjoy every second of it also I'm a console peasant so I don't have to worry origin, also more than half the people that bad talk the game don't know what there talking about and are just feeding of all the hate like children that can't form opinions of there own and its not like pass mass effect games were peftect either they had there issues just like any other game its to be expected.

Thank you!!!

also people should remember https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciJK_TdHcVo

would you also try out Mount & Blade Warband?

Never heard of it

it's a pretty good game once you get used to its mechanics and learn HOW not to get killed ;D (trust me....in all the likelihood....you might end up uninstalling the game the first time, and then playing it a few days later and THEN succeeding after having found out what went wrong the first time)

I haven't played it (probably won't get to for awhile) but seeing reactions like this and others, I can't help but think of one of my favorite games, Deadly Premonition.

Bugs up the wazoo, very dated graphics (even when it was released), weird textures, animations that range from good to uncanny valley creepy... and yet I love it.

It somehow fits with the uneasy feeling the atmosphere of the game gives, the characters are wonderfully unique and weird, the music's nice, the voice acting's good, and the story is so bizarre and out there (especially towards the end when they crank the WTF?! meter up to 11) that I just fell in love. I've played it through three times now and loved it every time. I think I've heard its actually in the Guinness book of world records as the most polarizing horror game ever. And I fully understand that. I still recommend people play it, or at least experience the story through a 'let's play' but at the same time I fully understand if they can't get into it.

My point is, Andromeda may be a step down in graphical quality and bug control (at least in its current state) but underneath there just may be a wonderful gaming experience unlike any other.

Glad to hear it really IS great! Got so tired of so many people criticizing it and having to say "I'll judge it for myself, thank you."

It's not perfect but its the first game in probably another trilogy. The game is a good start with a fresh story and characters, can only get better from here.

I couldn't agree more! (Sorry this comment is so late)

Lol well all mute now since the series was cancelled

Wait, what?

Yep, no sequel anytime soon.

Ahhh. Yeah, I read that they wanted to focus on other projects for the time being.
