[quote=@Inkarnate] Disagree with the bolded. Mostly. I see the problems with Andromeda, but I don’t think the quests, exploration, or the UI are one of them. I also don’t really value bargain bin subjectivism like “it’s not fun and it’s dull” considering those are meaningless buzzwords that really don’t have much insight to them at all. But yeah, Andromeda is a mess and it's certainly as a whole the weakest game in the series due to a lot of factors with only a few of these being relative things I agree with that contributed. Ultimately, Andromeda’s problem was it was a fucking frisbee. What I mean is if you look at the developmental cycle beyond social media snark and vitriol it was pretty worrisome. Inexperienced members of the development team, being tossed from one team to another to another to another over the course of development, lack of polish before release, and other issues pointed that this was going to be a mediocre final product. Social media degenerated that even more. The memes exaggerating the quality of the game did more damage. Bioware did not alleviate anything or have any foresight. It is really disappointing that the social climate is affecting games more and more when developers used to just do a few interviews and trailers for press and focus on their work but now we have entanglements like twitter, youtube, and such ruining any momentum. Good criticism is great, but reactionary kneejerk reactions make me very bitter towards my fellow gamers.
