Mass Effect: Andromeda isn't the worst game I've ever played | Part 1

Mass Effect: Andromeda is the most recent Mass Effect game unless you're watching this after Mass Effect 4 came out... or maybe it's Mass Effect 5? Either way, I'm not changing this video description. This is famously the terribly-reviewed game that caused EA to put the entire Mass Effect franchise on ice.
But is it really as bad as people on the internet say? well, the truth is more complicated.

    ​@@lorddootinator4332I played Andromeda about 6 months ago with R7 5800X, GTX 1660Ti and 16GB of RAM and had barely any issues somehow. Ship still was laggy but is seems to be so because they had genius idea to use path tracing only there at the time when it wasn't popular yet yhus barely any optimisation. I started to have real issues only by second Saudi Arabia with local Shai-Hulud.

    I am pretty sure that the reason the Aliens never "correct" you for your use of "Andromeda" is because everything you are all saying is being translated via sci-fi translator magic robots. I am like 99% sure that is a thing in the mass effect universe. Basically none of the Aliens you meet in any of the mass effect games actually speak English. My headcanon is that Shepard actually speaks Quebecois.

You know, something reasonably sized, not like it would change the whole game, but something small would've been nice.

I feel there's enough to springboard off of and even if there was a rocky start, expanding on some of the groundwork that was laid could lead to a good couple games.
