I never expected this game to review so badly, typically, a game in the 70's does not denote a bad game for me, but Mass Effect 1.2.3 was consistently in the 90's and even then the games had lots of issues with bugs, poor framerates and complaints about story advancement in ME3, mako driving in 1 etc..amongst other things.....If this series can suddenly take a tumult to the mid to early 70's, it means that there are much more issues than a few bugs and bad handling on vehicles......
Something which I'm big on is animations and though Mass Effect was never an ace in that category...hell it's something which I always felt they should improve since ME.1, they actually made it worse in the fourth game, it's pretty head-scratching..No wonder I've seen so many Mass Effects.A gifs of bad animations all over the internet recently......
Another decision I don't like is the use of Frostbite, I'm just not impressed with the engine as others on here....Sub resolutions for most games, they try to push detail and effects here and it's sub 30 fps consistently with tearing.....I'm also seeing lots of bad background textures in pretty much every scene in this game.....UE4 would have been eternally better for Mass Effect.A tbh..
I've also yet to see a current gen frostbite game that animates excellently. The poorer quality there may not be directly related to the engine, but I'm definitely smelling a rat here...
Anyways, despite these reviews, I imagine Andromeda will still sell well, but not as well as EA anticipated.....
