@last_lap: The only thing I can tell you about Andromeda is the gameplay is fastly superior to the ME trilogy but the story is poor but since you aren't big on story or cinematic stuff, you shouldn't have any problems playing Andromeda.
The hate Andromeda got was overblown IMO.
The gameplay is vastly superior for the main character, yes... You have the flexibility to create your own super bad ass soldier, and the gameplay set is very close to the feeling of the mass effect 3 multi-player which was frantic and very snappy/satisfying. Where Shepard feels a little more lumbering, Rider feels more agile.
What they missed though by making you a super soldier is the need to rely heavily on the skills of your crew... To me, that's where Andromeda stops being mass effect. Squad selection was an element of the trilogy that carried weight because of building complimenting skills and abilities in battle was a key to victory.... And really the only way to win on insanity difficulty. This was also for me how I built connections with MEs cast of amazing characters.
I think if they made Andromeda a new RPG and titled it something else... The game could've been just glazed over as mediocre. That it stripped so much of what made the trilogy great is where Andromeda receives its venom. Plus, I mean... They put BioWare Montreal on it. They built the multi-player for me3 which again.... Amazing.... But someone thought it wise to take one of the biggest ip's in the entire medium and hand it to one of their support studios rather than a big dog?
Mass Effect is easily one of the most mismanaged ip's in history. Three bangers.... A widely rejected spinoff and...... Silence for like seven years... Lol
Actually.... Mass effect 4 would be a great game to show for these upcoming game presentations.
