Bang for you Buck
You know after all the P_ssing, and Moaning about this game, in the beginning.. And I did my fair share. I have to say this is a Huge game, with and UN-godly amount of things to find, and explore...
This * is what I was talking about since andromeda release..
Its a good game, internet hate train is just composed of loud obnoxious crybabies. Every time I challenged some complainer to explain to me why the game "sucks" he would give almost pre scripted response " game is buggy" and there are others who went in a little deeper and try to argue that characters are uninteresting and story didnt make sense..
Every game on release is buggy.. it was resolved fairly quickly and characters are only uninteresting if you didnt pay any attention to what they were saying.
Game is introduction to new narrative with so much potential.. if you remember when ME1 came out, we didnt think much of it ether.. Back then in the forums the main debate was are the reapers real and council seemed shady to everyone..
I still cant wrap my head around why developers listen to crybabies of any kind, weather they are haters, feminists, sjws etc. they are not relevant, they wont buy your game... They cried so you punished actual fans of Mass Effect.. makes 0 sense..
If it wasn't behind the awful Origin platform more people would probably give it a go after the updates and of course time is a great healer.
I've been trying to download the title for over eight hours and EA Origins is just a horrible mess.
I could probably have downloaded, installed and actually ran a pirate version (I'm sure it exists by now) in less time it's taken to get to a cancelled sub 41% download, not enough to play and stayed at 0 kb/s despite turning off all other programs on Windows 10.
I know EA wants to be in control and thus they created Origins but they don't have the servers or the expertise required to make it user friendly.
As I write I'm at under 120 KB/Sec so it's going to take a while if it even finishes this time.
I live in whats basically 3rd world country and Origin handles downloads just fine..
I truly feel for you, having a low bandwidth download speed. I mean you may have a really good service provider.
I live in a rural area, and have only one choice in a service provider for DSL, and there is no cable ( I could maybe get satellite service, but everyone knows it is terrible for any twitch games )
anyway I think my best dl speed is like 2 meg, sometimes, but a lot of the time it is about 1.5, and less. It took me like 4 or 5 days to finally get this game. That was one of the worst parts of it, this "Down Load Only" is pretty hard on me.
I recently got Quantum break, because I got supposedly the entire game on disk, but I finished the first act, and they want you to be online all the time, for streaming video.
Screw them, I uninstalled the game, and threw it on the shelf.. ( Sure you can skip the Streaming video, but that's half the fun of the story. and I do not like being constantly connected. ) so I truly hate Quantum break for sure. This was a Microsoft deal, they want you online all the time...WHY ? I think is something very fishy about that. ( Like the camera in there X-Box one, and the Microsoft person who disappeared after he said it will be great information gathering being able to see everyone's living room )
But Hope you enjoy the game once you get it.
