I would have to agree with Agentbrown14: I did not care much about the new characters, only a little bit with Ryder. And graphics and face animation aside, I could let that one slide because as some of you have mentioned, that could have been fixed with a simple patch -- but I wasn't thrilled about the idea of an open world game but I was open enough with the concept that I gave it a go. The ONLY thing I would love to see in MEA is that, since the story takes place 600 years later, they could at least showed the progress on what's going on in the Milky Way especially other planets like Earth, the Asari homeworld, Turian, etc. -- especially after the Reaper attacks if the Citadel has been rebuilt. Regardless of the ending you chose in ME3, there should be somewhat of a mention about that; and I understand if MEA is trying not to make it all about Commander Shepard, but at least the assurance for the gamers that the Milky Way is doing OK since then. With the advanced technology, you couldn't contact the people from Milky Way to see how those guys are doing? I think BioWare developers made a HUGE mistake not being able to do a DLC, or at least some sort of Mass Effect Genesis Comic Strip, since you can't transfer the decisions you made in ME3 to MEA (different console platforms) but you can choose them before the game starts; so based off the ending you chose on ME3, it will somehow affect MEA, it would be interesting to see if 600 years from now, if you chose "Control" that maybe the Reapers are controlled to help the Initiative find the lost arks of the Turians, Salarians, Quarians and Asari and become an ally in protecting them from the Scourge or the Kett. And if you chose "Synthesis" maybe you'll encounter a species who is an offspring from someone who has that new DNA and it was passed on through generations. Just saying. I'm more of a story-oriented gamer, the combat gameplay and graphics are fine - and like I said, the face animation and little glitches are fine because the patch could fix that, but I agree - there should have been some DLC's and I would have been fine as well with delaying the game before its release to perfect it; it would just make the wait worthwhile just so we have a game that won't end up being dropped.
