Im not impressed by this game, especially if they sacrificed one of my favorite franchices for it, but hey maybe Destiny: Zero Dawn... I mean Anthem turns out ok, for some people. So enjoy. I wont.

well there's a difference between MP only and basically MP only, CoD has a SP campaign, but they haven't been worth looking at since Modern Warfare 1. Not true, Infinite Warfare has the best COD story to date and probably the best si-fi shooter out there (Ironic I know) but the MP is the same (or not), depending on who you ask. Point being, the SP was really good as well as the length was really decent, about 8 hour if you do not rush. Also, when COD has a better story than Halo 5, you know SP is in trouble. Well being better than Halo 5 isn't an accomplishment. Halo hasn't been the same as it was in Bungie's day

Is it an EA game? Then yes it will have micro-transactions. Oh yes EA is taking this pony to market. This type of game is EA's wet dream.

It will have SP, but my bet is that SP is the 'tacked on fan service' aspect, and the game was built to be a MP game. It's written in the stars. If SP were the focus of development, and even a substantial part of the game, then it would have been highlighted and lauded in the very first gameplay trailer or even teaser. In fact SP wasn't even mentioned at all and we had to confirm it through a tweet from a developer who was chided by Aaryn Flynn for even offering to answer questions. Bioware is going down a path I can't follow. Bizarre assumption. There was hardly a peep about the story of MEA too. And I'm fairly sure people didn't know about Inquisition's story more than a year before its release.

After seeing the Anthem game play...there is no point in continuing Mass Effect. It's done. They could do something just as interesting in this universe and clearly that is where EA put the most talented devs. They gave Andromeda to the B team, and got B team results. I expect the best of Bioware with Anthem.

Does anyone know the chances of this having dedicated servers? Or do these games always have peer-to-peer like Destiny?

Looking at the Anthem gameplay trailer, you can see just how much the skimped on ME:A. They clearly put their best people on this game.

I expect the best of Bioware with Anthem. Well first thing first, Anthem has to actually be successful. I assume this will cost way more than Andromeda, and EA will market the fuck out of it driving up the cost. So it will need to sell to make a profit. And new Ip's at times struggle doing this. Also many Bioware fans are pissed about Andromeda, so will be very cautious about this game. Only time will tell how Anthem does, because they are targeting the Call of Duty audience, doesn't mean they will get it.

Me too, I'm a bit salty cause really, who was asking for this new game? if I wanted to play Destiny I'd buy Destiny What I wanted to play was Mass Effect, (for years!) and seeing all the good resources from ME go to some... 1,2,3,4,...,10 (breaths) And the worst part is that it looks great, cause it makes me think of how much greater MEA could have been and how we could have gotten the sequel the ME series deserved had Anthem never existed.

I can agree to that, although I'd argue bungie did start it with reach, 343 just continues the issues game after game. pump your brakes kid, that game is a national treasure Halo 3 is the best halo had to offer, since then it's slowly deteriorated. Reach was fun, I put in lots of hours into it, but I still blame it for adding abilities to the franchise (my biggest gripe with Reach, 4 and 5) and killing competitive halo(why the bloom?).plus paper mache vehicles is a no no. like I said, it's still a good game, much better than 4 and 5(butchered game modes for no reason) but I still blame it starting up the issues it currently has.

Spot on! If they had put this kind of effort and talent into MEA? Dang, what could have been. Actually now that you brought it up I'm getting a little salty about it as well.

I would say that Halo 4 was vary good in its SP ( also no microtransactions in that one even with its awful progressive system) but Halo 5 just dumped SP and story telling for an obligatory four player co-op and microtransaction. This is relevant, because Anthem is primarily an MP/co-op experience and it seems they may just dumb the story way down. Also, if there is story, it will get watered down by the fact that they need to maintain 4 players while playing and they may get distracted from the story while constantly chatting with each other.

I wasn't referring to the story, I was referring to single player. Single player in BW game = story. Um, I don't think you get to decide what I was referring to. I was referring to the single player aspect of the game and all that entails. Story is only a part of that, and I have no criticism of it on its own - I don't know anything about it. I am simply saying that the Multiplayer aspect of the game is obviously what is front and center to the game design, that is why it is front and center to their marketing strategy. For those of us that enjoy Bioware's single player aspects, that is a huge disappointment.

Yep. Maybe EA can bring in another team to make a game in the Milky Way with Shepard returning while the team who made MEA, continue in Andromeda I would love another game in the Milky Way if they pick the destroy option and we have Shepard or some new character to clear the Milky Way from all the mayhem created by the war. Anthem?
