Man, this is disappointing so far. Was really looking forward to this.

Well damn. All things considered I did not expect this.

 

[Karak]

Its not a stinker but its got a ton of issues. Hopefully we see some real work here.

 

[RespectThySole]

Jeez this is looking like a bloodbath. "Possibly Bioware's worst RPG yet" is pretty damning.

 

[ironcreed]

ign: 7.7

A bit better.

 

[firehawk12]

LMAO at everyone latching onto the negative score and no one onto the positive.

To be fair GS is like the big one. I wonder if IGN will Doritos/10 the game.

The combat crackles and the worlds are lush, but mediocre writing and tepid quests add up to what is probably BioWare's worst RPG yet.

Considering Dragon Age Inquisition this is an incredible claim. I believe it.

On the one hand I'm sad to see the game is poor, on the other hand I hope it is a wake up call for ... who am I kidding nothing will be learned.

 

[HeelPower]

Wow, brutal. Gamespot of all places.

Gamespot are pretty tough.

They spear headed the RE6 takedown,Gave it a 4.5/10.

 

[Ostinatto]

WOOOOW is this a Bioware game? Holy shit !!!!

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Damn

I'll still play it some day on a sale. But there is too much out there right now for me to shell out a "Fuck it I love the franchise" $60 on launch day for this.

 

[Ulong]

Any of these reviews mentioning multiplayer? Aka the saving grace of ME3.

Videogamer 7/10

[DecoReturns]

The gameplay looks to be pretty good from the few reviews I've read.

Writing seems to be a letdown

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Really didn't expect it to be this rough. What the hell happened with this game?

 

[sjay1994]

ign: 7.7

welp

 

[Karak]

This is the trusted review i've been waiting on. Thanks Karak.

Sure. Sorry it could not have been better news

 

[StrongBlackVine]

I said 83, but I guess I was being generous. Bargain bin it is.

 

[massoluk]

Wow, didn't expect a 6 from major outlet

 

[Coin Return]

This sucks.

 

[ironcreed]

Its not a stinker but its got a ton of issues. Hopefully we see some real work here.

Basically what I was expecting. We have seen a lot of bad, but I have also seen a bunch of things that make it look great.

 

[brokenbeans]

No please don't be -80

 

[A-V-B]

ign: 7.7

Holy shit.

 

[Grassy]

Not looking good so far

 

[DKHF]

Seems like it will probably settle in the high 70s/early 80s. I predicted 83 in the score predictions thread, seems like I will actually be a bit high...

 

[wig]

I'm going to buy the game regardless of what reviews say but damn I wasn't expecting scores to be this low.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

 

[Hoo-doo]

The writing was on the wall for this game. It's a mess.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

welp

 

[Wishmaster92]

Mediocre writing? lol, so much for animations and glitches being the only problem...sorry defenders.

 

[pahamrick]

The scores are all over the place, which is about what I expected to be honest.

 

[Gwyn]

damn probably the last ME we will get if it ends at 70

 

[Basketball]

 

[K.Sabot]

Wow I actually overshot the meta prediction on this.

The hours after the first 3 must be REALLY bad.

 

[TI82]

But, I will say this, EA really went out on a limb with this game and the TEN HOUR trial this past weekend and that really takes some guts. It really showed (most of) us that the game is not good, but hey they let us try it early. I know that betas are a thing and this felt like a beta but supposedly it's the full game. It's impressive they believed in the game that much.

Now if only it were actually good...

Our review:
http://www.criticalhit.net/review/mass-effect-andromeda/

8/10

"Mass Effect Andromeda is a fresh start – but in borrowing liberally from the first game it’s made many of the same mistakes. In spite of them, it’s an exciting space adventure that delivers everything that’s become important to Mass Effect: Great characters, fun exploration and a climactic tale of good vs evil."

 

[Card Boy]

When IGN gives a game 7.7 (after bribes) you know the game is not that great. Heres here to picking it up for $5 during the Christmas sale.

 

[Qvoth]

High 70 or low 80 average metacritic is my guess

 

[Intheflorsh]

The scores aren't bomba tier but this is definitely a new low for Bioware. I expected a bit better due to how fun the combat looks.

 

[ironcreed]

No please don't be -80

It will be. But plenty of games I love to high heaven land in that range, so I am keeping that in mind.

 

[Staf]

Sure. Sorry it could not have been better news

As long as it's accurate news i'm happy. Cheers.

 

[Karak]

Basically what I was expecting. We have seen a lot of bad, but I have also seen a bunch of things that make it look great.

For many the issue is. nothing magically changes later. It just continues on at that level or higher through the entire game. Coupled with extraordinary bad writing...uhg. But each to their own man. If folks love it awesome.

 

[HariKari]

Half praise the story, half condemn it. Not a lot of consensus on this game.
