We're not a hive mind. No. We weren't "collectively" coming to that conclusion. I don't care how big of a Mass Effect fan I am. I will never be a fan enough of anything to overlook shoddy animations, poor writing, and a game that is just generally nowhere near its predecessors in quality for its time. No one should be content with a series known for being amazing now taking a plummet towards mediocrity. Especially not after 5 years.So 7.5 is a bad score? I mentioned that it's sad that Mass Effect took a plummet to a 75 metacritic, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game, hell it's a "good" game by all accounts. Kinda like how people are bringing the pitch forks for Jim giving Breath of the Wild a 7 out of 10. Like we were all literally talking about this recently, which is what I was talking about.
