I doubt EA could axe BioWare at this point. They've still got to upkeep SWTOR, Dragon Age is on the way, and DICE have already had two fuck ups (w/ Battlefield V and Battlefront II) and that studio is still going. the fact that we have to rationalize to ourselves why BioWare couldn't ever be dissolved by EA is all that really needs to be said Yeah Honestly man, if BioWare can't do Dragon Age right (a primarily singleplayer game), then I think BioWare is probably gonna fade into obscurity. Right now, I'm kinda second guessing as to whether they can at least make it a solid title (not even saying it needs to be a 9/10). You would think having already made Dragon Age: Inquisition on the Frostbite engine (and 7 years) would lend itself to being a good game overall. We'll see come 2021/2022.

They've reiterated that Anthem isn't going to translate into Dragon Age; in terms of gameplay. This years E3 is going to be interesting if the game gets revealed.

Haven’t been paying much attention to critic reviews but I can see the majority landing at a 7 or 8. For me personally I’m at around a 8. I have EA Access so I only have 10 hours and I think I’ve used 9 but for me I’m enjoying it. Love the gameplay, flying, the world and quite a few of the NPCs. It’s not perfect but that’s to be expected. I’ve only came across 3 bugs (sound once, enemies disappearing once, couldn’t get revived once), other than that it’s been smooth sailing. I do hope the frames improve while in the Fort.

Solid 8 for me after 5 hours. Enjoying immensely. A livelier tarsis would've made it a 9. Optimised QOL user intergration would've made a 10.

Wow.... collectathons and infuriating loading screens, restrictive and disappointing, technically rough.... hm
I wonder what hardware was used to play the game?
Post Script:
Frankly, pre-launch game reviews are not true representative of the game. EA made a mistake here... allowing this. The game needs another 2-3 months of work. Once again, I feel EA's need to satisfy investors trumps over good gaming.

What would "ME:A's" scores have been had they released it post-patch 1.10 vs patch 1.01-1.03? At the the time, it ranged between 71-76 depending on PC, PS4, or XBox. Post-patches? It would have been over 80 on average. It was also previewed a week early to sell EA Acess and released in March 21st to allow 10 days worth of sales to hit investor goals for financial Q4 2016. Seems like it's repeating itself...

Frankly, pre-launch game reviews are not true representative of the game. EA made a mistake here... allowing this. The game needs another 2-3 months of work. I keep reading people saying the Early Access was a mistake, but if this game had been, say, the looter-shooter equivalent to The Witcher 3 in terms of quality, would people still argue EA made a mistake? Obviously not. If your game's good enough, having people play it a week early should make no difference whatsoever. If EA/BioWare made any mistake, it was not doing an open beta much sooner to identify some of the more glaring issues with the game. Finally, while I agree reviews should reflect the state of the game at launch, I wouldn't dismiss the value of pre-launch reviews so quickly. The Fallout 76 beta did end up being representative of the final game.

Pro tip: It's okay to love a 7/10.
I watched the whole game on twitch and I mostly agree with the negative comments.
I'll probably still have a blast playing it coming friday with my pals and maybe some fridays after that.

I tend to view a 7 as a solid but flawed game but if those flaws don't really matter to you, then you'll have fun. I enjoyed my time with Etrian Odyssey and Demon Gaze 2 which averaged about 7.

I mean honestly, thats exactly how I feel about the game. But I decided to get hyped and buy it, just because the Minute to Minute action was so damn fun. I had no illusions that the narrative and conversations were ever going to be up to Biowares single player level of quality. Nor do I honestly care that all the guns look the same. My only complaint about the guns is I can't paint them to match my armor color. pretty much every thing else are issues that can in time, be addressed and corrected honestly. Which is potentially something EA will not give them. EA does not typically give developers time to correct a games problems. However I hope this is at least one time they do, because I hope they understand this type of game is not easy to create.
As lackluster as many of the games features are, I am honestly not yet concerned. Warframe sucked when it came out. Destiny sucked when it came out. The Division sucked when it came out. This genre takes time, the development team needs experience and time to figure it out. Honestly I would say the biggest mistake EA and Bioware has made, is not having public demos/BETAs a lot sooner, because then they might have actually had time to address some of these problems. Because lets be real about something. Developers don't always know whats going to be accepted and what isn't. They can add something they think might go over well, but then people use it and it's like "omg it's awful!" Obviously due to how EA is overly obsessed with Quarterly figures, they would have never gotten a delay of any sort. So the only other solution would have been to give the public access a lot earlier so they can see feedback early enough to make adjustments.
Now their gonna have to spend like 6 months addressing public feedback. This is of course a good thing. Quite frankly I am surprised just how quickly they are fixing some of these problems. I cannot imagine how massive that Day 1 patch is gonna be at this point lol. I can truly see the potential for a truly great game here. I really can. But in order to get there, Bioware is gonna need time, experience, and continue to be transparent and honest about the process and feedback. ironically, only time will tell, if Bioware gets the time they need.
Rainbow Six Siege rose from the ashes. No Mans Sky rose from the ashes. Sea of Thieves is apparently also rising from the ashes. The Division 1 rose. Destiny 1 rose. Civilization V went from "worst in the series" to "Maybe the greatest one ever". It's also important to note not one of these is an EA title. So as much of a cliche as it is around here. Really it's up to EA to not do what it typically does. Shut down support after a few months and move on to the next thing.

it's just alpha, all those issues will be fixed in the beta. This is the perfect game. Pre-order now. Look at Destiny and The Division. It's just beta, all those issues will be fixed in the gold build. This is the perfect game. Don't cancel pre-order. Look at Destiny and The Division. It's just early access, all those issues will be fixed in the day one patch. This is the perfect game. Don't refund. Look at Destiny and The Division. It's just launch, all those issues will be fixed in the in an upcoming patch. This is the perfect game. Don't believe those reviews (aka don't sell your copy). Look at Destiny and The Division. It's just 3 months from launch, all those issues will be fixed in once the DLCs come. This is the perfect game. Buy the DLCs. Look at Destiny and The Division. It's just Bioware's first shot at looting games, all those issues will be fixed in upcoming sequel. That will the perfect game. Pre-order Anthem 2 now. Look at Destiny 2 and The Division 2.
