There's a lot of great games released this year. Chances are you haven't played them all. Go buy one of those instead. Don't waste your money or time on this.

Got to be worth it for this price surely. SURELY?

It’s not, I love the franchise and have double dipped on them but I will never be able to beat this game. It feels like a huge grind fest and you get nothing really from it.

I wonder how cheap it will be BF.

It's been clear for a while stores are trying to offload the bazillion copies of it they have.

The deluxe edition is a couple bucks more. Price matched the last copy at Best Buy over the weekend.

I bit earlier when the PS4 deluxe edition was $21 ($17 now), and it was totally worth it. Definitely not up there with the original trilogy, but on it's own terms is a good game. I'm sure all the patches got rid of a lot of the jankiness. Probably finish it up in the next week or so, but don't see myself giving it a second playthrough.
 
I picked this up on Saturday from Gamefly for 12 bucks. Figured I'd give it a shot. Haven't started playing it yet, its in the mail. Added to the backlog for now.

Can someone tell me what's so wrong with it? I like the multi-layered combat of previous entries [different weapon types to reduce shielding/armor/etc] before damage can be applied, semi-tactical teamwork.

Don't really give a damn about the story of the original trilogy, i liked a few characters but care more about combat.
 
At $13-14, the PC version is well worth giving a try, especially if you use this mod list:
If you're playing on PC, here's a list of mods I highly recommend:
Free Remnant Decryption Keys (1000x)
Road Rage (increased Nomad collision damage to enemies)
Materials for Sale (all crafting materials can be bought on the Tempest for free)
General Augs Rebalanced (full disclosure: I made this mod - sets a wide variety of augments to give 10% bonuses to weapons/gear)
Weight Cooldown Bonus (brings back ME3's less weight = faster cooldowns mechanic)
Hyper Mobility (better sprint speed, better jump height & distance, might get you stuck on invisible geometry)
Squadmates Damage (buff to squadmate stats so they're less useless)
No Profile Switching Cooldown (switching profiles doesn't cause all abilities to cooldown)
Shut Up SAM (Reduces SAM chatter about environmental hazards)
Cheap Research (Reduces research costs by 75-80%}
Research No Level Requirements (Actually build the highest tier stuff without going into New Game Plus or tons of grinding)
Shorter Landing and Departure Cinematics (Cuts most of these cutscenes down to sub-10 seconds)
Increased Weapon Range
Faster Kadara Doors
Nomad Top Speed Increase (Now it peaks at 200 km/h)
Ultimate Camera FOV mod
DS4 Buttons

Tools you should have:
MEA Recovery Tool (let's you revert changes if modding causes problems)
Frosty Mod Manager (lets you run mods in a nice UI, remember to double click the mods on the list to the left)
MEAExplorer Ansel DLLs (download them & stick them in the MEA game folder so the mods will actually work)

Edit: You don't need the DLLs with Frosty Mod Manager.

Just make sure you don't do any Additional Tasks and stop the planet quests once you hit 100% viability, especially if all that's left if just helping people out. That stuff does have a little pay off at the end, but isn't necessary or particularly rewarding.

I've never played Andromeda, but "A bad game is not worth anything." So if it's as bad as everyone in this thread says then take your $13 and go buy lunch, lol.

This seems to be PC only... if you switch to PS4 the price jumps to like 25.

BUT>.. if you search for it, there's a deluxe edition for PS4 for 16 and change. I settled on that.
 
I'm actually dying waiting to get back to this whilst I'm waiting for my gpu to get repaired.

A shit ton of mods (cosmetic mostly) combined with an asian Scot Ryder who actually looks awesome during the cut scenes and I was really enjoying this game.

I nabbed a copy of this yesterday; had Target pricematch Amazon. At 13 bucks, I couldn't resist, I wanted to check out Dolby Vision on my OLED in a game. Did they ever fix the animation issues?

Just a heads up, I bought this and it won't even run on a good machine. The game literally did not start at all. Just crashed instantly.

Bought this for 19.99 a while ago and I still need to beat it. lol. Wish this game enthralled me as much as Dragon Age or the previous Mass Effect games
