I played maybe an hour of the first ME through EA Access a year or so ago. I never did get into ME last gen. So its all really new to me. I saw the bad reviews and stuff but I've been lost in this game all day. That's enough for me to know It's a good one. There's just so much I want to explore and learn. I'll trade perfect facial animations for options and a branch points. I stop and talk to everyone and ask every question. Lol

I hope you enjoy it. It was actually my favorite game of 2017. I’ve beaten it at least 8 or 9 times. I’m currently playing Horizon Zero Dawn but I’ll probably play through this again before moving on to Assassin’s Creed: Origins.

I played through ME-ME3 two times.

I loved the series. I picked this up for $15 bucks on Black Friday. I have it in the que. Once I complete The Witcher III this will be my next massive open world game I take on.

It's good that you didn't play much of the original trilogy. It's not true of everyone, but many people were unable to put aside their good and bad feelings about the trilogy when playing Andromeda. The facial animations were just the match that lit the fuse of a fan base primed to go off for a myriad of reasons.

Glad to hear this. I've had the ME games in my cue for a long time. I'm thinking this is the year I gice the games a try.

My litmus test is pretty simple. If I get lost in the game, it's good. I don't care what the consensus is on it. I saw Horizon on sale over the Christmas break for 20$, I'm gonna snatch it up the next time I catch it on sale. I'm deleting games left and right on my poor PS4 because of the great games at great prices. AC Origins is awesome, too.

I get that. I understand that it was one of the bigger franchises out there with a large dedicated fan base. The game today is probably in much better shape than it was at release. At 5 or 10 bucks though the cheapskate in me can't resist. Lol. It also helps that the games are good. I bought The Order: 1886 (along with Knack), another panned game, for 5 bucks a year ago and it to this day is the most visually stunning game I have ever played. If there is a sequel, I'm preordering! I tend not to look too deep into games now a days. If it hooks me In for hours, I'm in. Especially now with the focus trending more towards online stuff. I'm a dinosaur. If it sucks I've only wasted the equivalent of lunch.

I mean it’s fine for 10$ but they seriously destroyed one of the best IPs ever. I mean when the dev team instantly cancels Single player DLC and also say there will be no sequels within the first month, ya know it went wrong.
