Time for a compliment, EA
Don't worry, no spoilers. I will never refuse to give credit where credit is due. Hope others give their impressions to compare to this. I just finished the game a second time, despite the bugs ...
It's not a bad game, I spent over 600hrs on it so far and just completed my 5th playthrough, there are part of the game that I enjoyed but there are parts that disappointed me as well. Do I regret my purchase? Nope. It was money well spent.
The issue with this game is the existing benchmark/bar set is pretty high. In another thread I gave the analogy of the ME trilogy being a 3 star Michellin restaurant, it's the experience that will not be forgotten for a long time. Now imagine this 3 star restaurant now opens a joint near your home/work place the owners advertise it and hyped it out. When you visit it with high hopes, you find that it is not the experience that you had previously, but it's a rather nice cozy family restaurant that I spent my weekends with friends. Food is fine, ambiance is ok, price is the same. In comparison with other family restaurants in the vicinity it's ok, but it's not the 3 star experience that you had previously. Anyway that's my opinion, some may agree some may disagree, that's fine, however when it comes to game ratings, guess the numbers says a lot.
For your reading pleasure.
