Remember kids, every time Schreier is mentioned on the internet, an elf has to forcedly give him a blowjob.
Please, think of the elves.

I hope the elves enjoy it.

On one hand, his "dozens to hundreds of devs working on Anthem" statement is extremely vague. Could be two dozen guys having an Anthem related meeting once a month, could be two hundred people working feverishly on an overhaul.
On the other hand, his "what went wrong with Anthem" article kinda hit BioWare squarely on the jaw judging from the way they reacted to it. Had it been bullshit, they would have pointed it out, but they slunk away from it with their tail between their legs, like a dog that knows it's not allowed to crap on the carpet.

Okay... So EA/Bioware are going try and save Anthem? It is going to be the same as they've tried to save SWTOR for the past six years going from one near miss to the next and somehow managing to keep the lights on? Because if that's the case you can count me out I do not want to go through that again. I've all but given up on SWTOR at this point.

SWTOR had a rocky start, but they kept at it and eventually it went on to become a solid money-maker for BW. Nearly a billion dollars now... “Believe it or not, we are close to $1 billion on Star Wars: The Old Republic revenue from the start of its history,” EA CFO Blake Jorgensen said on the call. “So it’s a business that just keeps on going. We like those types of businesses.”

Nothing really, I've just become too jaded I think. SWTOR could have been much better than it is but we'll never know now. I haven't really enjoyed SWTOR since Galactic Command launched. I just got fed up with the gear grind. I haven't had an active SWTOR sub for over 12 months which I think is pretty telling.

Nothing really, I've just become too jaded I think. SWTOR could have been much better than it is but we'll never know now. I haven't really enjoyed SWTOR since Galactic Command launched. I just got fed up with the gear grind. I haven't had an active SWTOR sub for over 12 months which I think is pretty telling. You and everyone else. Easily the biggest disaster in the game's entire history. With 6.0 the gear grind is much better, although crafting was gutted. Overall the new expansion is barely worth in the story department and it's best feature is the removal of the Galactic Command gearing formula.
The biggest issue the game had in it's first year of launch was the over saturation of servers and the slow response from Bioware to consolidate them. I guess back then they made a priority to produce extra content (people bitched about it too), but it felt short when there were no players on your server to experience the content with.
Still - it's a very "classic Bioware" game with it's stories, companions, romances and can be played completely solo. It even runs on potato PCs nowadays (except some new areas where Bioware still shows it's "classic" optimization skills).
I totally didn't mention Ben Irving and Anthem, did I?

My reaction to this news is indifference.
Bio is rolling down a hill with every new game they launch. There is a marked deterioration in story telling since DA:I, along with horrible game design decisions. Anthem 2.0 is an internal acknowledgement that the studio mutilated itself with version 1.0.
Their problem, as I see it, is a lack of a cohesive vision regarding grind, character progression a meaningful reward system, story & characters, load screens and new content to keep the player coming back.

Got a free month of Origin Access, so the first thing I did was download & try Anthem. I can see all the problems people have talked about. Not making excuses for it. But I think there's something there. The combat is so much fun, and I actually like the characters in Fort Tarsis (even if interaction with them is fairly prescribed). I sincerely wish BioWare luck with the Anthem reboot.

Nothing really, I've just become too jaded I think. SWTOR could have been much better than it is but we'll never know now. I haven't really enjoyed SWTOR since Galactic Command launched. I just got fed up with the gear grind. I haven't had an active SWTOR sub for over 12 months which I think is pretty telling. I find that is the hazard of a MMO or Looter style game. This pretty much sums it up. I was an off and on sub of the game for a couple of years. And it was my first & only MMO. MMO's appear to be all about gear grind. Latest one ups your max level, and gives you another set of gear to grind (as do pretty much all the expansions). To what purpose? They just re-level the mobs so that you end up in the same place, but need to gear grind to get there (which means you need to sub to get the expansion to stay as powerful as you were previously). And it's all about getting you addicted to it. Pretty cynical, really.
Having said that, I can wholeheartedly recommend it for the 8 class stories, and the continuing storyline though the Shadow of Revan expansion (KotFE/KotET, not so much). That's a LOT of content, and harkens back to the Bioware of old. If you've never played it, I think you'll get quite a lot of value for your first 3-6 months or so.
