Is it worth it, MEA?
I have played about 60hrs worth of MEA early last year around its release time. Then I stopped it for about a year until last night where I re-installed it. But I could only play another 1hr before...

The bones are definitly there lol. The frostbite engine is so good. Its just the meat is a bit raw this time around.
And im pretty sure MEA is the one that was rushed?

Depends how you look at it. The game was in development for 5 years, which is as long as the development of ME2 and ME3 combined. It was rushed in the final stages because BioWare Montreal wasted years trying to include procedurally generated planets and that didn't work out. They had to scrap a lot of work late in development and they had to bring senior staff from BioWare Edmonton over to Montreal to course correct the project. EA offered a delay at some point, but the game came out on the scheduled release date regardless.
Here's the article by Jason Schreier, who interviewed anonymous BioWare devs: https://kotaku.com/the-story-behind-mass-effect-andromedas-troubled-five-1795886428

People love to blame the publisher. Sometimes that may be appropriate. Not this time though... 🤓
