I love Mass Effect Andromeda.
I really enjoyed this game. A little buggy? Sure, but its a massive game. Name one game of this scale and scope that doesn't have issues. Its the first Mass Effect on Frostbite, there is of course goi...

I've enjoyed this game quite a bit so far, but I certainly don't agree with some of your points. Facial animations are not a nit picky thing as far as I'm concerned. Were the reactions exaggerated? Sure, but it did need improvement because some of those grimaces are just so bad they're distracting. So I applaud the improvements they've made so far. Now they just need to make the graphic quality more consistent.
Of course it's the first ME game on Frostbite but it's not the first game they've made with Frostbite. So they could've learned more from that already from the experience they've had with the engine so far with other games. I've been playing DA:O the last few days and I can't believe how good that UI is compared to ME:A for example. So much user friendlier in so many aspects. It still has it faults like any other game but I just don't get how they did certain things better years ago that they can't do properly today. That just baffles me.
What also baffles me is how quickly people are willing to believe there will be no dlc based on some rumours.
I really think that ME:A was judged too harshly in the media, but I also think some of the criticism is valid. As long as they improve a few more things and bring out the dlc that makes sense to do, ME:A will simply be a good game. And that's just how I view it.
But please op, try not to make yourself the template for mankind. What you find unimportant or important is your opinion, not the standard.
There is a difference between a characters appearance.. and really bad animations.
All the characters look perfectly fine to me.. but the animations where cringe worthy in places.
You say games are about the enjoyment, well for me and many ithers what we enjoy about Mass Effect is the story and the cinematics as much as any game play it has.. maybe even a little more than the game play. So bad aestheics like that can be very off-putting. No one can tell another what aspects of a game they should find enjoyable and fun, because thats different for all. Im not an fps player, never really played halo or any of the other popular fps, im an rpg player so thats the part of mass effect I enjoy. The story. The lore. The characters. The romances. The cinematics. The banter and so forth. I don't play ME to shoot things in the head.
i did enjoy mass effect andormeda. however, i think at launch it was an average game, not a bad game, nor a particularly good one, but an ok game.
To me, the sheer size and grand scale of this game alone makes it great. I can't remember a game this massive feeling. To each is own though. 🙂
