I don't understand all the hate towards MEA. Sure it's not as great as the original trilogy, but it is an amazing game. It deserves much better than what it is receiving from every side (developers, community, EA...).
Maybe the expectations were so high it was impossible to achieve a success.
It would be really dissapointing if there is no more content developed for a game with this potential.

Agreed.
A lot of the hate is the fault of short sided review sites that played no more then the 10 hour trial and then ripped the game based on that alone. Most of the critics banded together to do a total hatchet job on ME:A and in the end, they got their wish.. they killed the franchise. It really sucks to think that EA is just going to cave so easily and move on, the Mass Effect Franchise deserves better then this.
@DarthLlama For the record, if I remember correctly, the review sites were not messing with the 10 hour EA Access trials. They got a full version "press release" of the game.
Whether the reviewers took the time --- or if the medium in question gave them enough time --- to delve into the game enough, is another question.

I don't deny that they received the full version of the game, I just don't believe they took very much time to play it.
The truth is that part of this is still on Bioware, the first few hours of the game really aren't exactly stellar. For me, the game didn't really start until I got the Tempest and that is a flaw that was rightfully pointed out. It seemed awfully convenient though that the good parts of the game, the parts that occur after the first couple hours were not covered much if at all in most reviews that I read.
Don't get me wrong, I put the blame squarely on Bioware, firstly for the games slow start and most importantly for giving up on the game without a fight.
To me, the prologue was reminiscent of ME1. Getting dropped right into the middle of a huge mess, unfamiliar menus, learning the ropes, figuring things out.
It just starts with a slow burn, is all.
