Thinking about buying ME:A

I'm new to the Mass Effect universe; never played any of the previous games, but heard good things. I learned that Andromeda does not take save data from previous Mass Effect games, and also isn't dependent on any choices made in those games. So it seems like it can be a good starting point for someone new to the ME universe. However, obviously I've heard the controversy around the game and how it is relatively unpolished, with bugs and animation problems. So, I am looking for opinions on Andromeda as an introduction to the ME franchise. I know it's polarizing right now and that everyone has their biases, but hopefully I'll be able to sift through the crap and find something substantial. Tell me if you think Andromeda would be a worthwhile purchase for someone new to the franchise. Is there alot of stuff to do? Does it get repetitive? Is the story cliched, or is it engaging? No spoilers, please (duh). UPDATE: Decided to get it. May be taking a bit of a risk, but I'm ok with that. With Bioware announcing that they plan to address some of the player concerns in the near future, I'm hopeful that the game will become more polished with post-launch support.

  • After playing the first 3 I'm still having a blast with Andromeda. I say it's completely worth buying. Most people are just on the hate train for it, although some have legitimate complaints. Most of it has to do with character models and expressions which has no impact on my enjoyment of the game. I haven't ran into any game breaking bugs or anything like that and for me personally it's been a very smooth experience so far aside from a couple of crashes. Tons of exploration, lots of characters that you can get to know really well. You're not confined to one class like the previous installments and the combat is the most enjoyable to me out of all of them. I personally enjoy it a lot, but just try reading some of the reviews and pick out what matters to you.
