Played a lot of ME:Andromeda but ultimately never finished, and got annoyed how much dev time went into the multiplayer instead of the story mode since that's not what I bought the game for.I'm still buying it.  What do you call it when your logical expectations are mid but your hopes are high and doing a Snoopy Dance that a new one is coming out so your emotional expectations are way up there?</blockquote>
