So as a big Mass Effect fan I thought I would finally install Origin and get a paid subscription so I could play Mass Effect Andromeda properly.
My PC rig is as such:
- high range Intel i5 CPU (don't have the exact model right here)
- GTX 1050 Ti bought last year
- 8 GB RAM
- Samsung SSD 850 PRO
- Windows 10 with latest updates installed
- playing with an official Xbox One controller
Not *too* bad right? Not the best rig but still, I should get a good 720p with medium quality.
I downloaded the game from Origin. After 42% were downloaded I was able to start the game.
I played the intro but about 10 minutes in, the game froze. So I thought I would wait for the download to be finished and resume.
After it finished downloading I resumed. I have the latest version of the game with all updates installed and DLC and whatnot, it's the Deluxe edition I think.
For some reason every once in a while the controller stops working and the game only recognizes the mouse and keyboard (controller is fully charged).
At the end of the prologue when you board your ship, the Tempest: game breaking bug.

Two years later this bug is still not fixed ? You have got to be kidding me.
The workaround apparently is to talk to everyone on the station before the cutscene.
I spent literally TWO HOURS on this and finally got it to work by doing random things.
Anyhow I finally land on EOS - the first planet you get to explore. But by then it's already midnight so I have to go to sleep.
So this morning I'm trying to resume the game and guess what? the loading screen is fucking stuck.

So two years later this fucking game is ridden with game breaking bugs?
Does anyone even give a shit at EA? No wonder they get ranked as worst company in the world every year.
I can't even play anymore. I tried restoring the past 5 saves and they are all stuck. I have saves from before the Tempest boarding bug but no way I am spending two fucking hours working around the first bug. I have tried everything people suggest to work around the bug, but nothing I do has any effect.
I've uninstalled the game and cancelled my Origin subscription. Fuck EA.
