I like to finish things I started :smile: I remember my complaints about ME3.... ME3 was (is) really good game compering to this .... :-) I had to finish this game as I completed previous games:-)

I think this is a reasonable deal, but I haven't voted hot or cold either way, although I will add this:
IMHO the game is nowhere near as bad as it's being made out to be. It seems to be the cultural thing to trash anything related to EA games, when in fact this is still very much a Bioware title. Let's remember, it's still pretty much universally scored high 70's to low 80's which is by no means bad.
Is it as good as Mass Effect 1 and 2? Absolutely not. But as a fan who pretty much lost interest in the series after the abysmal ending to ME:3, I did rather enjoy this.
Sure, like most Bioware titles, there's quite a lot of 'filler.' The characters are largely one dimensional but there's still enough personality there to keep you going. For the price, you're getting 40-60 hours of content and the combat for an RPG is particularly good.
If you've ever enjoyed a Bioware title, there's still plenty to enjoy here. In terms of glitches, these are mostly ironed out and I didn't experience any issues post patch... I would however say, that Andromeda rather reminded me of Dragon Age 2... a good game in its own right, but not the best of sequels.

This game is terrible! Just finished it last week, OMG that was a waste of time :disappointed:

You stuck with a 40 hour game despite it being terrible and a waste of time? Surely there must have been something good to keep you going?
I've just started this (only a few hours in) and I'm pleasantly surprised. But then my expectations have been set so low.

Trading this mess in tomorrow to fund DiRT 4. Such a shame to be honest. Despite all the negativity I was genuinely looking forward to playing this.
Don't get me wrong, once you get past the shady character models and the sub par storyline, I'm sure there could well be a game in there somewhere. For EA Access, or Xbox One owners in general, I would honestly advise you to await an inevitable incoming entry to the vault.
I played it on an Xbox One S with HDR 10 and the game looks abysmal. The glare is out of control and the whole game just looks completely washed out.

I have ea access with 10 hour trial and was thinking of installing it this weekend. Had held off thinking the latest patches had solved the problems from launch.
Is it really that bad still?

Damn that's really sad to hear, I didn't pick it up with the Prime Now £10 off, instead went for all groceries. I know the game has got some hate but I was hoping I'd love it when I finally got it, perhaps I'll keep waiting for a better price

Bizarre that something like this can still kind of hold its value, but an overlooked gem like Dishonoured 2 can had for less than a tenner...
I loved the original trilogy, but can't even drum up the enthusiasm to start the 10 hour trial. Definitely one to wait to appear in the vault (I'd say we're looking at Mirror's Edge 2 timelines here rather than a year)

Good deal though I expect this to be less than £20 in a month.

I really enjoyed the gameplay and exploration aspects of this, combat was fun, yes the character models and graphics issues were there but they'll update and fix those. The main game is good, story okay. The best parts were getting to do personal quests for my squad as it felt like Mass Effect of old but this is a spin off and feels like it.

I played the 10 hour trial on EA Access, although it was around 2 once you arrived at the content that was locked out. It did suffer really badly then but I just wanted to play it so much.
I purchased it from Amazon last week for £29.99 but used a £10 off £40 spend to get £10 worth of stuff free, so it wasn't too bad. But honestly mate, it really is that bad :disappointed: I waded through it trying so hard to live with the graphical issues, but I just couldn't. I actually had it on last night, and that was the final straw.
I put The Elder Scrolls Online on after I had finished with it which is also HDR and the graphical differences were instantly noticeable. Have a go with the trial on EA Access, see how you get on.

It could be £2.89 and I'd STILL avoid this utter turkey.
