2. "RE: Andromeda"
In response to message #0
 
   "Ambivalent" would probably be the best word to describe my opinion toward Andromeda at the moment. The basic story alone seems like too much of a stretch for a franchise that has been generally praised for its attention to detail with regards to world-building. When your original trilogy is about how every species in a single galaxy faces extinction, this is their last stand, all or nothing fight...the next game in the franchise saying "Oh, by the way, there was this major colonization effort launched the year before that involves thousands to millions of the best and brightest" sort of pisses over all that.

I don't know, this seems almost as much a kick in the pants as the "pick a color" ending to ME3. That I invested all that time and emotion in the original trilogy just to find out that none of it mattered. Being told that my fanboy dreams had been crushed "for the art" didn't help matters.
