I said it's not worth the money relative to the content.
Take away the Star Wars ip, and you have just a low quality space shooter with very little single player content. It's a cheap cash grab designed to hook Star Wars fanboys, pure and simple. Multiplayer means they don't need to go to the trouble or expense of creating content, the fanboys entertain themselves.
No thanks.

Video streams and uploads.
Plus reviews that outright admit the visual quality is very low, for a company with such deep pockets. This is likely intentional, they know full well fanboys will buy any tripe with Star Wars slapped on, and multiplayer is a very good dollar to profits strategy, because it requires nothing but giving a sandbox and letting people be hyper competitive.
Me, I prefer a solid single player experience, and well made gameplay.

Low visual quality?
The graphics are fine. The gameplay is solid. And the campaign has actual well-written moments. It's just a bit short.
And they're still updating multiplayer.
I always find this strange.
On one hand, people ***** about "bad or low" graphics as a negative thing. Then on the other hand, say that it's not all about graphics when talking about new gaming systems.
The graphics for Squadrons is fine. The combat is good and the flight mechanics are great. The MP is fun as and the SP campaign is good. For 40 bucks, it's a good deal..
Anyways, depending on the price of this Mass Effect edition....I am intrigued on the graphics options.
That means nothing....that doesn't say anything about the quality of the product.
There is a million products out there that are great but don't sell...there is a million products that are shit that don't sell...there is a million products that are great and sell and a million products that are shit and sell.
This fan game >>>>>>>> Squadrons.
With a new Mass Effect in development alongside the Legendary Edition, could we hope for something changed by the end of ME3 to tease of what's to come I wonder? ME4? Or maybe it'll be a prequel spin-off. After the last game's bombing to the point of having it's DLC cancelled, I dunno if EA/Bioware wants to attempt re-exploring Andromeda. Personally I wouldn't mind going back there if they can just make the gameplay feel like the first 3.

As much as I dislike that theory, you may be right.
The Reapers do have mind altering technology to make Lovecraft proud so something as messed as giving the hero the illusion they just saved the galaxy sounds about right. This would bring back the original plan Hudson & Co had for the Reapers they scrapped for that rushed rush for the portal to the magic MacGuffin Station.
3 didn't kill the franchise. It made Bioware and EA a very nice chunk of change.Sure, the ending was balls, but sales were just fine.
And even with an ending bad as it is, Mass Effect's still awesome reliving. "It's not the destination, but the journey." That don't mean the ending can't still improve though.
