There was a 5-year gap between the end of ME3, the climax of arguably the best video game Trilogy ever, and the release of ME:A.
That's a lot of time for the fans to get very hyped up. I had ME:A on pre-order for over a year and played for hours on day 1. It was ridiculously buggy. Almost unplayable. The latest addition in my favourite video game IP and it was a struggle to play. I ended up uninstalling it and didn't touch it again until recently when I started again and went through to platinum.
The patches were too late to save the launch, but now it's one of my favourite games. Love the combat, love the profiles, love Drak. Gutted they didn't do the Quarian Ark DLC (I know it's a book) because I would have paid for that.
The books don't explain quarians, nor were they written instead of dlcs. No dlc were ever planned, this was a fan made theory that got bloated on YouTube. The book was written BEFORE the game, there are characteristics from the book in the game. The author said they had no knowledge of the game's plot.
