Speaking of overrated................hmm maybe another thread.

I liked games better when people weren't able to just go "It's Tumblr quality" in lieu of actually having an opinion. Andromeda was bad for that.

I mean there are two extremes here, the people who think the game is bad purely because of the Ess Jay Dubyoo-ness, and then the reactionary people who do nothing but suck the game's dick to make up for the unfair press it got.

But the truth is somewhere in the middle, was the game overly dogpiled because of a few glitches and an anti progressive community backlash? Yes absolutely.

Would the game have been pretty weak overall anyway without said backlash and glitches?
Absolutely.

That's not saying the game has zero merit, the combat works most of the time and the characters apart from ryder and the citadel(or whatever the fuck its called in MEA) people aren't extremely unlikable. But the plot is boring, the dialogue is boring, the quests suck, the exploration sucks, the menu system is cumbersome, there is too much to do and a lot of it isn't fun to do, oh and the bad guys are underwhelmingly dull.

Its similar to the Ghostbusters thing, just because there was a huge chunk of body pillow owning MRA virgins who boycotted and trashed the film, it doesn't mean that everyone who didn't like it is a misogynist.
