There are a lot of games from the past and present that garners hate from gamers. These games are usually hated because of technical, gameplay, or method of monetization. However, there other games that get unfair and honestly over-hatred, just because it's popular.
For example, while Modern Warfare series was hated by everyone I know, almost all of them said"Because it's the same shit every year" and did not provide with a good reason for them to hate the series. The irony was I saw them playing those games after school on their xbox 360. I actually enjoyed the MW series because the campaign was actually written well (when you get past the action sequence), and the multiplayer did provide hours of entertainment.
The hatred for Black Ops 3, and Infinite warfare was understandable because I played and agreed the futuristic setting was kinda stupid. The grounded "realistic" combat was nowhere to be found and what we had now was wall running, lasers, robots, and ridiculous killstreak/class abilities. I know I get easily provoked, but man those futuristic games really made me scream.
Dragon Age 2 was also hated by the majority. I mean sure, the world wasn't as expansive or the companions weren't as interesting, but I still found the city of Kirkwall to be very detailed compared to Denerim from the first game. The combat felt faster and UI and skill trees felt cleaner.
I did not hate Dragon Age: Inquisition on my first playthrough, but after reading and listening to all the negative feedbacks I slowly switched over to the other side. The Character creation is lame, each world was essentially empty, making the game feel like single-player MMO, and the story ended in a very open note.
Mass Effect 3 was and probably still is hated for that ending. But ask yourself; Did you hate the game because it was actually bad, or did you hate it because of the ending? With exception of the ending, the actual game felt really polished. All the characters I've known for previous two games, all the words I've said, and all the actions I've taken had consequences of how ME3 turned out to be. The combat was seriously good.
Mass Effect Andromeda, on the other hand, I completely agree with negative criticisms. The player character looks god awful, characters are boring, exploration feels empty(although the worlds themselves are pretty to look at), and the fact that they pretty much started from square one annoyed me. And they STILL didn't let the players play as the other race (multiplayer doesn't count). Why not? If this was an attempt to grab new fans to the series, don't you think playing as other races would be a good way to explore their culture, politics, and way of life?
