smilesja , I haven’t seen anyone say “it’s the worst game ever made”. Likely some fool somewhere did, but that isn’t the consensus. I’ve actually seen more negative behavior from the fan base than the critics. The fans’ defense of the game against all criticism has been ridiculous and extreme, at times. Conversely, most of the critics have seemed disappointed and saddened by their own feelings toward the game. Most went in excited and really wanted to enjoy the game, but simply can’t in its current form. I’m sure there are vitriolic online reviews (and defenses), but none of the videos in this thread have been such. Each has been pretty tame and measured. You know what this is what gets me, have you seen the fans who have been called fanboy, shill or white knights by the amount of people who hate Anthem or BioWare in general. YouTube Videos giving a positive review are being ripped apart I myself have been harassed repeatedly by people who dislike the game including a person who has returned from a 2 year hiatus from the forum just to mock me. The Anthem sub forum has been so toxic at times that some positive minded people refuse to post there. Fact of the matter is that there are some NOT all who wanted Anthem to fail badly and were harassing other people who were optimistic. You thought the fans toxic though, try it from the fans perspective. From what I've seen on the Anthem sub forum here I agree with you. There is one poster in particular that seems to hate on Anthem just because he can and I very much doubt he's played the game in any form at all. Maybe I'm just getting too old and just don't a damn about the bullshit that's flying around. Anthem isn't perfect not by a long shot but it's not as bad as people are making it out to be. If you accept Anthem for the type of game it is then it's enjoyable enough. But some people are so blinded by their own prejudice that they can't or won't see that.

Obsidian Gryphon, we were just having this conversation about the Assassin’s Creed series. Every single AC game experiences a “leak” that reveals a ton of general info without ever compromising the story in any real way. It’s pretty clear that these leaks are marketing. The psychology of it, as described in the opening of this vid, is simple and brilliant. It’s a clever way to build hype, even if it is sometimes obnoxious. I don’t have time to watch the whole vid right now, unfortunately.

Bioware, you f*** it up again and again. How far will you fall? What has amazed me is that they had so many other games they could have looked to and learned from in this genre and yet they got so many things wrong and now they don't even appear to be listening to the people playing the game. Saying you are going to get it right in a few months is just crazy, no way players will hang around that long especially with TD2 coming out on the 15th of March!!!!!

I saw gameplay of this and was bored; dungeon and mob waves festival. I'm sure there's a story somewhere but never saw any of it. I always see endless combat after combat. Wave after wave. There're enthusiastic discussion of different builds in chat but left me totally bored. This is a game for people keenly interested in class builds and dungeon crawling.

I haven't played Path of Exile in quite some time, years in fact. The story acts are actually quite good. Lots of lore and the story is decent. The different characters have a different reaction to story events depending on their class which it kind of neat. What he's showing in the vid is clearly end game gameplay after he'd completed all the story acts and it turns into a kill mobs for loot feast.

I saw it over twitch stream. I stayed for a couple of hours. At the most, I see the player turn in quests and the rest was dungeon crawling with waves after waves of mobs that keep respawning. Persistent mobs isn't my cup of tea so I was totally switched off. I didn't get a squeak of story. I suppose I can look up for the cutscene movie of this game to find the story.

Again I guess it would depend on what level the streamers character was and where they were in the game and for that matter what game mode they were playing. I admit the story telling isn't the greatest. As it's a free game you may as well try it.

Ouch those two vids are brutal but are on the money. And Ben Irving doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. I shouldn't laugh as I wouldn't want to be in his shoes or any of the devs for that matter. Anthem is going to die a long slow death I feel.

I have said it before but I'll say it again this just makes me so sad for the simple reason that the 6 years spent on developing this now appears to have been a complete waste of time. The time and resources that could have been making MEA the great game it could have been were instead wasted on a product that after 6 years was still unfinished. Hell not only could more time and resources been spent on MEA but DA4 could also have been completed or close to completion by now.

Its funny, until I got myself OP'd in TD1 it was a game that always made me anxious before playing and sometimes down right nervous during actual combat in missions. I haven't even started playing TD2 and I am already feeling anxious every time I think about it or watch videos of it but that is part of the buzz, being invested and worried enough during combat about dying that it stimulates an emotional response. It may also be an indicator that I am not a great player as well so am definitely up for watching the tips video above later!!!!!!

Only happened to know about this title because it was mentioned in Cohh's stream. Due out on 22 March on consoles and pc. It's single player.
Not interesting for me. It seems to be incessant fighting in a small linear gameworld for game progression.

Use Epic Store at your own peril. Me, never going to use it. If a game I want goes there, I can forget about the dev and the game.

Epic have shot themselves in both feet with a double barreled shotgun. They must think people are dense and I'm sure Valve could take them to court or at the very least threaten them with legal action. I had to smile at Yong's dig at Anthem, sadly he's not wrong.
