[quote=@Fabricant451] I mean, I agree with him especially the parts about social media exaggerated things and people started thinking things like CrowbCat's video or whatever selectively edited thing was indicative of the game as a whole. Was there some bad dialog? Yes, absolutely. But then name one BioWare game that doesn't have dialog that misses. People made a huge stink over shit like "My face is tired" as if that was the entire game or else they turned to the initial flirting with Suvi as a sign that the dialog was all cringe 'Tumblr shit' completely failing to understand that Ryder isn't badass space soldier man Shepard but is literal space nerd young twenty-something who, at the time, is basically bumbling around in a position she wasn't at all trained or qualified for and now there's a cute girl complicating things. Granted it was still kind of embarrassing but that was kind of the point. [/quote] I mean you could take out the face is tired memes, the numerous glitches, and the questionable staff and the game still has a fuck ton of issues. Again we can all agree that a good deal of the backlash was unjusitified, but there are plenty non red pilled MRA/MGTOW Anti SJWs who disliked the games for functional reasons. And Ryder wasn't unlikable because he/she wasn't an unstoppable badass like shepard, Ryder was unlikable because he/she was a bland person thrown into a neutered version of the ME world surrounded by a bunch of mostly bland characters and the absolute worst sub-star trek villains you could think of. You cant blame all of this on MRA backlash. I get that the main character is supposed to be a blank canvas, but when the game gives you nothing to paint on that canvas apart from a small selection of poorly written rookie tropes, it will reflect badly on the big picture.
