Well, to understand it, you just need to take human psychology into account. You can play something that "sucks" for 50 hours, because you're really REALLY hoping it will get good. Like sitting through a bad movie. You're not really being entertained, you're just going through the motions and only getting your money's worth based on time spent. So it's very easy to not recommend something even if you played it through. lol
My hope is that after Trump finishes his jail term for money laundering, he'll take over the reins at EA and bankrupt it.
Bit of a long shot, but a fellow can dream...
OMG so freakin' funny. Great Line!!
Its only flaw is the DRM on PC.

I see that my post was kind of controversial
I stand by my opinion: if you play a game for 50 hours, that's 50 hours of entertainment you got out of the game, I'm supposing you're playing for non-professional reasons.
If it was a "boring grind" or "you didn't enjoy the game" that's entirely your fault. Nowadays you have reviews, opinions, let's plays, you name it. You can even test the game for a couple of hours and refund it if you don't like it. If you commit those 50 hours you are either a masochist or you had a decent time with the game. Of course there are excellent games that are 7 hours long and trash games that are 50 hours, but it's your RESPONSIBILITY to dedicate your game time to good games, you can't blame the developer guys.
50 hours and you didn't return it, that I can agree with, totally your own fault. With a garbage game like this, it shouldn't take more than 8-9 hours to complete even if you gave it a (huge) chance and took some side quests. I tried, I really tried to like it but ultimately had to go take that shower and return it. Not sure how long I played but it wasn't anywhere near 50 hours. As soon as I realized each "planet" was basically a copy paste of the last one with some half baked attempts to throw in some "plot" smattered in I called it quits and returned it for a refund. As for reviews, you most often can't trust them. ME:A got some glowing reviews (and some scathing ones) and for those excited by all the hype you often don't want to wait for metacritic and user reviews to let you know which to believe before you dive in. You also don't want spoilers for an RPG title so let's play is not a good option.
The issue with your initial comment is that it came off as supporting a totally garbage game that never should have been released in the state it was, it should have been binned once they (the devs) realized they couldn't even come close to living up to the expectations (they themselves) had for it. The game was a glitchy, unfinished, poorly made mess from start to finish. There weren't even any hints of decent writing, plot or character development. ME:A is to the Mass Effect universe what the "Twilight" novels are to the horror genre, at best, poorly written, at worst, plagiarized garbage. Except with ME:A they ripped off their own IP to make a game that does not fit into the franchise in any meaningful way and did nothing to encourage me to even look at the next title. I already turned away from Dragon Age after the travesty that was DA:2 now they have raped the ME franchise too. Bioware/EA are dead to me, time and again they release incomplete garbage, either to drain your wallet with paid DLC that never should have been cut from the base game or because of unrealistic deadlines and insufficient resources given to the devs. Now we have gameplay altering loot boxes with a game that costs $60+.... GTFO EA. Either a game is F2P with pay to win or it's pay to play with only cosmetic microtransactions, you can't do both. Greedy morons need a serious wake-up call.
