Didnt some of the recent patches introduce some new bugs to the pc version of the game? I thought I remembered reading something about that somewhere.
Is the game really that bad?
It never did.
It's not thaaaat bad, it's just there's much better things you could do with your time in the genre, and especially gaming as a whole right now. It's forgettable and mediocre, but not actively horrifying.
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.

You might be paying $15, but.. how much is your time worth?
No. GAF(or the gaming community all over the internet in general) is hyperbole city.
The game is not a masterpiece, it's not as good or memorable as the trilogy, but it's still worth playing it once if you enjoy WRPGs, sci-fi and third person shooters
If that's the case, there's quite a lot to like in this game if you can tolerate it's biggest flaws like the constant need to travel from one planet to another without a quick travel option, or the repetiveness going on after a certain point (find vaults, attack enemy base, get planet viability to 100%, move on to the next) outside of main & loyalty quests.

lol @ paying more than like $5 for a PC game
To be fair, I would never play Bethesda games without much longer Mod List. Even my Witcher 3 Mod List is probably just as long.Fuck that. Not worth my time downloading all that crap just to make the game more enjoyable.
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.
Kinda learned that with Shadowfall, didn't even get my 8 bucks worth lol.
Yikes, these comments, I really liked the trilogy and was hoping Andromeda was shallow but at least worth a low price...Looks like naw.
Still not worth it.
Must . Hold. On$5 black Friday DON'T GIVE IN

Its worse than the Star Wars Prequels. Everything about is amateurish.
depends how much you value your time.
Of course the game is worth 13$... but is it worth 50-90 hours of your life? Probably not. But thats entirely up to you
I bought this for my bf, I hope he enjoys it. The demo was good iirc.

Geez man, this game really can't catch a break around these parts.
I put over 100 hours and managed to get all 55 achievements. It's a 8/10, just like Inquisition. Definitely not as bad as many of you are making it out to be, especially after the massive patches it received over the past few months.
I say go buy it.
If it's 13.25 now, it'll be half that in at least three weeks.
They are dumping stock at this point. Be patient!
I spent more time playing this shitty game than any person ever should, trying to find some enjoyment in it after having played Mass Effect 3's multiplayer for literally thousands of hours. There's nothing, on either side of the equation. The story is uninteresting, the characters are utterly cringeworthy and the combat is a marked step back from ME3's. Even the co-op community has largely abandoned the game in favour of returning to ME3, because that was simply a better game, with far more variety. In fact, a new unofficial expansion for it has just been released:
