It is a very bad sign, and I think Casey was the wrong choice to lead this studio. That's just your belief. Captain Obvious! Tell me something beyond arithmetic that isn't. I'll wait.

Hardly. Around 160 hours played across the demos and the game itself so far, this has been terrific value for the fun enjoyed so far. We're still some way off from the 1,000 hours I can put into a Mass Effect or Dragon Age, but early days. Perhaps they will build on the lessons from Anthem to make a GAAS Dragon Age 4 even better. Yes sofa dear, you definitely represent every single opinion on this forum. /Batshit Yes qui-gon dear, you definitely represent every single opinion on this forum. /Batshit.

No, it does not, its grindy as fuck and the campaign is not even replayable. No they do not, they are all subpar compared to bioware, also no companions and no romances, no loyalties...the choices are a JOKE and not nearly as impactful as advertised No it does not. It feels like a shitty looter shooter with subpar interactions compared to what was advertised But hey, it's ok, if things keep going this way we will not have to worry about this garbage much longer so, a step back from other looter shooters and ME which let you do full ng+ without losing your gear? Wow THE AWESOMESAUCE! How many here did NG+ in the Mass Effect games when it doesn't allow you to change your character choices? Here we are; - first you only mentioned not being able to replay campaign mode (a statement echoed by others) - Then you further clarified or obfuscated with NG+ (a statement not echoed by others so we were supposed to read your mind here) - Then I asked how many would choose NG+ over new game because NG+ doesn't allow you to make certain choices different, something echoed by others regarding BioWare games. Choices. jesus fucking christ you are dense Let me spell it the fuck out before I again try to block you, again...without creating a new character you cannot replay the campaign. That means pilot level reset. That is a problem. Worse is that other looter shooters and bioware games ALREADY do this. Those choice you are referring to are character creation. If I wanted to create a different character I would...but I fucking dont

I ask this as someone who started a career in software development a year ago. My experience and that of my colleagues is that projects change dramatically over the course of development for a variety of technical and design related decisions. Ben Irving recently responded to a reddit post complaining about aspects of the game that seemed different from how they were presented in some marketing:This is all very reasonable and true to my experience, and I don’t even work on the sort of highly marketed commercial product game developers do. But the biggest response to his comment has been to simply accuse the developers of lying. People just seem to point blank refuse the idea that anything that didn’t end up in the final product was ever actually planned to be in the final product. The truth is the only way to prevent this problem entirely is to forgo marketing and do what Apex did, launching without any preamble or preview whatsoever, and maybe they should. I suspect it is mainly because they are negatively biased and are looking for anything they can use to confirm that bias.

Simple, really. The more people have already been lied to, the more they tend to believe that they are being lied to again by the same person/entity. "I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you." - Friedrich Nietzsche If a developer isn't certain whether a given feature will be part of the finished product, they should simply say so. If it's stated like a fact and advertised like a fact, it will be considered a fact, and then a lie if it's not happening. Some developers mark their trailers with "This is a work in progress and subject to change". Others use a sentence like "Everything you are about to see was captured in-game running in real-time." Now which of those two is more likely to be considered as dishonest should it turn out that the final product is significantly different from the trailer? Couldn't have said it better myself. I'll add that it's less about specific bits, it's more about the general stuff, i.e. "We listen to our customers." Customer asks for singleplayer story experience. "Here's an always-online multiplayer experience." I'm fully aware it's not that simplistic, but when a group promises one thing but doesn't deliver, especially when it keeps happening; the possibility that they are telling the truth diminishes.

I dont think your gaming behaviour reflects the average. What is the average? So you mean that people playing, for instance Dragon Age, never make a new character and start over? Mass Effect? No new Sheps? No-one ever made the Helgen cart ride at least twice? Unusual? Strange since I see a lot of talk around of "replayability".

I dont think your gaming behaviour reflects the average. Actually if you take a look at Star Wars tor you will see quite a lot of players create several alternated characters. So iwouldn't be surprised if this behaviour starts to pop up in Anthem too.
