I've had more than 2 years to mourn Bioware. I'm indifferent to DA4 or any other future game unless I see a spark of life return to this walking corpse. I don't expect that to happen so I observe out of morbid curiosity. At this point I frequent BSN for the usual entertainment value. Cheers!
I'm no zombie fan myself. Anthem, so far, has failed in so many ways.
Where is the excitement for solo play and exploration? Oh, wait. It's a "play with friends" design. And those mission quests "kill 100 of X". Really? Is that all Bio could come up with? It's DA:I filler quests all over again.

How is Anthem's roadmap looking? I think this was supposed to be an exciting month for Anthem? Out of curiousity is Bioware looking like they're going to fall behind on the new content?

It's sad how the threadbare campaign/story/lore hasn't inspired much discussion in the lore subforums that have sat without updated threads for over a month.

Not much to talk about right now *shrugs*
Unless you want to talk about the latest rumours about how EA cancelled the bonuses of countless staff so as to not have to lay people off. But that's just an unsubstantiated rumour at the moment *shrugs again*

Lack of excitement for a game (deserved though) is always a disappointment. Before it launched I'd hoped for more active discussion about it.

Moreover, something that should not be a surprise at this point: their Roadmap will be delayed. It has been clear for a few weeks that they were not keeping up with what had been promised, and today they released a statement on the matter. They didn't put a new date on when these pieces of content are coming, but since they were supposed to come between May and June, and they were delayed, we shouldn't really expect them to come before June to July, at the very least. The full link on Bioware's statement is here.

The silence when they opened that chest and got that underwhelming loot (4 Purples and some crafting material). Priceless.

Check this out peeps: I've said this before but it need to be said again: LowSodiumAnthem does not mean NoSodiumAnthem. One of the most concerning trends we have been observing and monitoring are some of the fans of Anthem in our community turning into anti-salt trolls and becoming all around toxic to anyone and everyone that does not hold a 100% positive view of Anthem. In the recent few weeks, most of the punishments we have handed out have not been to hate and vitriol filled trolls from elsewhere on the internet coming here for their 5 minutes of stirring shit up. No, its been to members of this community, sometimes ones that have been here a long while, who feel that they are entitled to break rules 1, 3, and 6 when it comes to people who are unhappy about X-thing in relation to Anthem. ALL opinions are welcome to be expressed here as long as said opinions are expressed constructively and with respect and kindness.
I will say this again: All opinions are allowed in LSA as long as they are expressed constructively, with respect, and with kindness. That does not mean your opinion needs to be kittens and rainbows, thats not what kindness and respect is. Kindness and respect means being a decent human being to everyone.This was a mod PSA on the lowsodiumanthem subreddit. Now ... where have I seen this behaviour before xD SofaJockey would probably appreciate seeing another community with the same philosophy having to deal with the same bullshit. It's like clockwork the way things happen sometimes Source: www.reddit.com/r/LowSodiumAnthem/comments/bef1ps/lsa_subreddit_notice_please_read/

It's a good point made. Giving posters a hard time for either not linking a game or liking a game are both frowned upon. Even in the Skepticism or (I guess it's now the 'Today in Anthem' thread) it's ok to go against the flow if civilly expressed. If we become an echo chamber for either perspective, we have lost by it.

It's more a case of "what bullshit has gone down today" rather than "what's out there to make you excited today" and that's a bit sad. So I enter gaming discussions with my jaded face on, lol.

Bio acknowledges Anthem's design issues in a tacit manner. The were some awkward moments during the livestream. Basically, confirming this thred's skeptics.
EA/Bio have a Herculean task before them and it will prove their resilience or break them.
I'm not sure, during the Chat, that those peppering the hosts about loot was an honest concern or overly trollish. Either way, LOOT is a player's reward and Anthem is way too Grinchy. It goes back to the game's original design goal which totally misunderstood the need for proper rewards appropriate to the difficulty levels and gear upgrades.
I'm far from happy that I and many others were right about many things Bio needed to avoid and failed to see the headwinds.

Bio's ACT 1 roadmap was too ambitious, I think. They delivered some but not all and I believe it goes back to their failure in the game's core design goals for loot and gear upgrades.
Advertisement for a LOOT designer is good. Implementation of the new loot system will take months = bad. In the meantime cataclysm is on its way with new story spinoffs. Unfortunately, the live stream chat showed us that loot was on their minds and not esoteric design goals.
I got the impression that Bio's vision is not currently resonating well with the player base. I hope I'm wrong.

That's very understandable, I'm quite optimistic by nature, but I too was rather fed up to find that the state of progress on the roadmap was as halting as it turned out to be.

For me, it's places like DontKnod, HareBrain Studios, Firaxis. All of those places where they've achieved the big A, but not so big that they've received the triple A. And the dark horse of them all, Volition. I'm still waiting on SR5. I'm curious how Volition is doing. I don't think Agents of Mayhem did that well for them.
I actually had a lot of fun with AoM. I should have had co-op though. Hell it was a better game than Anthem.

Heh, the only reason Anthem is not F2P yet is because Bioware can't even do their monetization right. But give them locked cortexex to do and they are still the kings, baby!
