it's not trash it's just far inferior to Mass Effect 1-3 with weaker writing and gameplay.

Still a good game in it's own right and well worth $15. Play it and enjoy it

It's probably worth that. It's at least an average game

Also the patches has made it a lot better ive heard

Havent dont a second playthrough and probably wont... but i did one full go PRE PATCH... so yeah

Thats also partially because the game is LOOOOONG

So theres lots of time with it.

Longer than the previous games? I usually clocked between 30-35 hours on the previous Mass Effect games.

Nah it's shorter.

It takes about 20 hours just to do the main story.

I 100%ed it (almost, didn't do one or two bullshit collectibles quests) 99.9%ed it in about 45.

I think it just FEELS longer because there is a lot of padding. Tons and tons of padding. Like Skyrim Meets Dragon Age Inquisition padding.

And yeah I'd reccomend skipping the padding.

I think it's kind of a bad game, but I'd say it's worth $15 if you're a fan of the franchise.

It is worth $15 easily, it is not as good as ME 1-3 but not a terrible game like some people claim.

This is a fair point I suppose. Personally, I still think it isn't a very good game regardless, but some of my disappointment definitely came from the fact that I loved the games that came before it.

I think you should atleast experience it once to KNOW what everyones talking about.

Will help if they decide to make fun of it in the future or something.

And the gameplay isnt half bad

Represent may have a point, but as i am a completionist, i do most of the stuff which took me over 100 hours.

On that front its probably like Mass Effect 2 which someone claimed to have beaten in 2 hours... on insanity. Not sure if true or not but it was certainly a speedrun.

But anyway that aside, I'm really not sure what in ME:A took you 100 hours.

I'm not exaggerating when I say I 99.9%ed it inside 45

Watching everything? i dunno... pretty sure i also read that it on average it would take over 100 hours.

Also i wasnt speed running but casual running, maybe thats it

less than 90 minutes for mass effect 2 is crazy... even at the lowest completion im pretty sure it would take me atleast double that, outside of modifying the save files.

The game was never bad, just disappointing.

It's less stiff as the original gameplay.

Honestly, I enjoyed it well enough but it needed a year of polish

Going to do a soft bump since I'm busy. The Nexus seems decent enough so far. I really hope some new intelligent species are introduced besides The Kett.

It does feel like it could have used more polish. Can't imagine how the game was originally unless I uninstall the updates.

I mean... objectively I have a hard time not recommending most games for 15 dollars. MEA has a lot of content for that price and there's some fine gameplay and good environs. By standards 15 dollars seems fine.

But having paid 60 dollars for the game, the thought of paying 15 dollars knowing what i know is about as appealing to me as walking into a wall repeatedly.

It's one of those games I wouldn't recommend at any price because it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth if you cared about the Mass Effect universe.

The lack of music in the Nexus really impacts the atmosphere.
