We clearly have different standards.
Which is what makes me so interested in this. It sounds hilarious. Any good excerpts?

It's not hilarious, just cringey. Basically imagine how Arrow turned into the Teen Drama Power Hour but without Stephen Amell's charisma or Katie Cassidy's great rack. All of the characters are annoying, acting either like robots or constantly shouting low-effort quips on the middle of firefights. Sara Ryder couldn't command wings at a fucking KFC, let alone manage a paramilitary expedition force.
The only genuinely funny moment is the Sara/Peebee romance, if only because the horrible facial model on Sara gives the sex scene an unintentionally sinister tone.

Mine wasn't a sex analogy
Staying on topic. I think the writing of ME3 is the one that feels the realest. Not the smartest, the dumbest or the most interesting but the one that feels the most real.
Why would ashley/kaiden consider betraying shepard? For years they thought they were dead, only to learn they were alive and under the service of terrorists, why should they trust him or her?
The reapers are the result of a retarded A.I the whole time. Underwhelming but understandable, you can't argue with something that's insane and they're no less scary anyway.
The geth and the Quarians can't put their grudge aside for even the end of the world without shepard's help. We feel this in country's now, war between the two is all they know, peace is just as alien to them as the reapers.
The ending was a let down, but not all stories have a happy ending, not all battles are won with a golden bullet, sometimes bittersweet is the best we have.
Its why I can appreciate me3 now, it can take a very weird and alien universe and bring it down to a human level, a real level.

The Reapers should have stopped being the main antagonist after the first game. References and signs of their influence were ok but the story was doomed the second the writers decided to try to have their eldritch horror and eat it too.

I think most people had issues with the ending because of how it was on release. The Extended Cut DLC they pushed out decently quickly fixed a lot of the initial problems that were causing the controversy in the first place.Mine wasn't a sex analogy

If DA: I wasn't a port, I'd have said that made up for it.

Inquisition was mediocre, port or no. I bought it at launch and gave up right before the ending because I just really didn't care about the story anymore.

I laughed when right after a dramatic battle with an eldritch horror the cast spontaneously broke into into a Frozen style musical number but that lulzy moment wasn't worth $60.

There was one moment I liked in my playthrough, and it was The Dawn Will Come. It was a distinctly melancholy but uplifting piece that could've been in Origins because of its tone. The rest of the game was a medieval anime.
Made up for Andromeda, or ME3? Because if it's the former, that's invalid because Andromeda came out after Inquisition. If the latter, then I can't agree at all. I've replayed ME3 as part of my trilogy runs at least four times now, while I've never even felt the need to finish Inquisition.

Mass Effect 1 was a great game, the RNG missions were a bit clunky, the graphics a bit less than perfect but it was fun.
Mass Effect 2 was a a great game with all the flaws of Me1 ironed out, only problem was a little less customisation and shorter story.
Mass Effect 3 was the best gameplay and graphics but the story was quite subpar. But if you aren't a big story gamer it was a fun shootem game.
Andromeda ... well. It wasn't as fun gameplay wise as 3, its graphics were... glitchy at best, and its story was like ME3's ending but for a whole game.
It was a shoddy b team product. Think of Last Jedi or Solo movie.

The problem with ME2 for me was that they got rid of the retro sci fi look and feel it had for in terms of the soundtrack department and visuals.
I felt that if ME1, 2, and 3 were rearrange, the story could have been saved.
I would have had it where ME2 was one where Saren was your supervisor watching you become a specter by dealing with the Harvester threat, and then in part 2 it would be ME1 where you are on pursuit of Saren after he decided to go awol and you finding out about the Reapers after dealing with him, and then ME3 where the reaper invasion has already begun, but get rid of that god awful ending where you actually managed to kick the ass out of the reapers through a unified alien human power and become a galactic hero.

More like cut off. Mass Effect 2 was a barebones and simplified "RPG". It seems to have less problems than Mass Effect 1 because there is less of it.

I did say ME1 had the best customisation. Not too simple not too overdone. Not the byzantian crafting nightmare of Andromeda nor the one dimensional excuse of 2 and 3.

Don't believe the memes. ME3's ending was great, funniest shit I have ever seen.
You have strange tastes.
