Shame really....they'd rather speak to folks that reinforce a false sense of positivity, rather than to get the raw and honest data they need to improve the game....and of course they wouldn't be able to get everybody's take on it, but a few raw feedback responses from gamers (in realtime) would give them a general idea of where gamers are in conjunction with the online feedback... Bioware probably just wanted this display of smiles and circle jerk to go down as a happy, go-lucky positive PR experience.....yes there were probably trolls that was waiting to be on some bulls**t, but i think for the most part, players would have gave them some honest and genuine feedback on their experience as i feel most folks want to see Anthem succeed...

This is pretty funny EDIT: ... oh wait, it was posted on the last page. Whoops 0.0. But it's funny enough to be posted twice ... I love honest trailers with epic voice guy (didn't he also do honest game trailers in the past?) but this dude has no comedic timing whatsoever. Besides, the premise of honest trailers was that it sarcastically labeled problems as positives. Whoever wrote the text for this did not understand that. The text here is just plain complaining and pointing out the flaws that we've already heard countless times before.
I like making fun of Anthem as much as the next guy ( ) but this just wasn't funny, I quit after about 3/4.
You want an edgy review, rather go with this:

^Zero Punctuation is the best. Love that guy. Always funny as hell. I agree about the Honest Game Trailers for Anthem. That one was BAD. The one they did of The Walking Dead was hilarious and 100% accurate. Which is why it was so funny. The Anthem one was just all the complaints lined up. Lame.

The original Honest Game Trailers were created by Smosh Games who have since gone bankrupt. I assume Fandom Games (the creator of the Anthem one) must have some ties to Smosh Games. Anyway, the format is probably different because the original was a blatant trademark infringement on the Honest Trailers made by Screen Junkies. Probably why the old voice guy (Jon Bailey) is no longer involved. And yes, the Zero Punctuation reviews are the best.

Feedback from the PTS players showed that Cataclysm was developed with little innovation and brought along all the warts. Some players liked it and that's unsurprising. Matchmaking, loot, timer issues remain the stumbling blocks.
Progression, loot and gear upgrades were slapped in at the last minute with grind being the glue (imo). Also, matchmaking was designed with a critical mass of players always on hand. Which is untrue today. And it show with Cataclysm. This map can't detach itself from that design mistake. ... not yet, anyway.
Ben needs to making Cataclysm a mini new game, unfettered by the old progression system. Reduce the grind as well and add LOOT. It's a timed and infrequent event, perfect for special map rewards. Players will jump at the chance.

Meh. They've gotta incorporate fun, grind, and loot into one cohesive combo.
0 for 3.
Good work BioWare. You're batting 1000%.

I usually check this guy out for Anthem updates and as i mentioned he's one of Anthem's biggest supporters, but even he seems like he is getting frustrated with Bioware in terms of their decision making and sense of direction....
He seems frustrated about the mechanic Bioware put in the cataclysm that references players competing to get the high score....he states that was something players really didn't want to do when playing...he was also upset about Bioware giving no info about loot aspects and literally no sense of clarity on their roadmap....he states that players are becoming incredibly impatient with Anthem at this point....this vid gave me a vibe that felt like Anthem will most likely NOT survive the end of the year....
He also stated that Anthems presence at EA play felt very flat in terms of info by one of the reps (forgot the guys name..but he's in the vid).....again this guy is one of Anthems biggest optimists, but i came walking away with Anthem having a very grim future after watching this vid....

I remember I was really looking forward to the game when I saw this trailer. Then after playing it, I was like WTH game was this a trailer for. This was days before the game came out, where was this story at?
But on the bright side, I didn't say this was captured in game in real time.

Comedy is dead for 5 years. So I guess it's OK to call something slightly funny "hilarious". And it seem Todd Howard is actually trying to make FO76 playable unlike Bioware devs

I just want to say that, the way you describe it, sounds bad. Nothing is more disheartening than seeing someone who absolutely loves a game and has such high hopes for it, in so sort a time span, to turn so much around. I really feel bad for the guy. I feel bad for the devs, as well. It is a wholly bad situation. The best thing anyone can do right now I think is just step back from Anthem for now and come back to it at a later date. I'm sure he was extremely hopeful and, should Anthem have performed better, he might have been one of the leading Anthem youtubers, so that could have been his livelihood, as well. Man, that just sucks all around.

And it seem Todd Howard is actually trying to make FO76 playable unlike Bioware devs I actually like fallout 76 as is. I don’t want npcs. I felt the world had a great atmosphere with everyone dead. That being said they have listened to people and have made solid strides to get the game to where most people want it to be. It launched worse than anthem but within months was I think significantly better objectively and not just by my crazy standards.

Maybe that'll give upper management the kick in the pants that it needed.
Or if not... EA can always put a couple'a slugs in the back of BioWare's head.
Either/or. I'm at the point where I don't really give a shit anymore. Other people have come in and taken over, namely Larian Studios. I guess I'll wait for them to make the next ME. Because you've shown, BioWare, that you cannot, clearly.

I posted this on Reddit as well.....so, so sad. It's what all the game companies are doing. Treating content creators as if they're god. To the game companies they are god though, god in the form of cold hard cash. They know if getting the content creators attention in a good way they'll spread the message, give them some perks, and they'll spread the message harder. All the while leaving 99.999 percent of the player base without any voice at all. It's truly a sad thing. I've seen it with Bungie, Ubisoft, it's a AAA game company formula for which they base their long term hopes on.

What's more likely is that EA and BioWare will sit on their frozen assets until they get sold off, because they are no longer profitable. Look at what happened with BG3. Look at the time difference between 2 and 3. I'm likely to be dead from old age before I see anything coming out with the name Mass Effect on it.
