^Yea, these days it is just more convenient for me to buy the game than wait for a crack. Latest versions of denuvo is kicking the ass of a lot of crackers, and you have to wait like a year for a crack.
Anyway, I played the game for a couple of hours and my opinion towards it is turning around. Mass effect is a type of game that you need to be immersed in, and you can't get that same experience while watching streamers play. Especially since streamers try to be entertaining and don't bother to explore and shit cause they would rather waste their time spouting memes and other bullshit instead of playing the game how it is supposed to be played. The kiosk at the very beginning of the game that gives you a bit of backstory is something that every streamer I watched skipped straight over. I am kinda digging the story, even though has been fairly predictable so far. Spoiler:
The game does an ultra shit job at explaining the combat, though. I just finished the beginning tutorial planet and I still have no idea how to control my squadmates' abilities. Can I? Hell if I know. I did experience a bug early on where my camera was stuck in constant sway mode, which made combat a shit ton harder than it was supposed to be.
Anyway, about 9 hours left in my trial. Plenty of more time left for me to figure out if I hate the game or not.
