No more future patches....so Bioware just given up on fixing the rest of MP now

The more I think about it, the more this decision irritates me.

Think of the decision from BW/EA's viewpoint. You've invested a huge chunk of your resources in a game slated to be released in 2018. About a quarter into the prior year, you release a game that is very poorly received. By a month or two out the brand is in freefall. Your primary goal is to maximize sales of the 2018 title. What do you do?

I see two main options:

1) Invest as much as reasonably possible in providing quality support to try to rebuild good will with the fan base and generate some positive press.

2) Cut the game off as early as possible without rendering any previous statements false. The aim here to to maximize the amount of time between the death of the 2017 game and the release of the 2018 to make the bad PR as stale as possible on release.


They chose #2.

dude this shit is beyone a mere .gif this calls for a full blown video

 

Even it was short lived, but with Division I did get a "Wow" factor with how amazing it was to fight in an abandoned nyc. I used to live there for a long time and now seeing it again in video game was a very nice touch.

Good point sir....these XX ranks are killing me

So far the only similar fun-to-play coop shooter is Warframe. It is a free to play space ninja game with a big grindwall, but it has a lot going for it. Over 3 years old, it is still growing. (Last month there was a Sat night with over 60,000 players on at once.) The combat system is much smoother than ME:AMP, but doesn't have jump jets. There is a huge weapon selection of all kinds, and there are a lot of good melee weapons and styles. The best part is that the devs actively play the game and listen to the players, and they field the complaints. They are constantly fixing stuff and adding new free DLC 3 years into the game.

From what I have seen so far, Anthem has a long way to go to catch up.

Once MEAMP folds, I will probably go back to Warframe, unless something else comes up (Destiny 2 anyone?)

Instead you pick up blue bubbles... (Which I actually prefer over the long ass CD, but it's still stupid as fuck.)

Or you have Zenurik and max efficiency and you can spam your ulti every 5 seconds

I pre-order the standard edition for destiny 2, we will see how it goes. As much as I hated how Destiny 1 was at launch and their pricing model, Bungie did support the game. I am willing to pay for more expansions if they got it right this time. No more purple engrams turn into green weapons nonsense.
