Are you considering buying Anthem? (Mass Effect thread version)

It’s not that surprising. Destiny 2’s big problem is that it made the loot system too generous while simplifying the loot, taking away our ability to control even what pvp modes or strikes to play. It doesn’t help that the raid is trash with no serious benefit in terms of rewards. Raid weapons and armor should be meaningful. They could’ve brought in a new equivalent of the old mythoclast. I just started my hunter a couple days ago and am already at 294 power and havent even touched pvp yet. Overall the game is safe to a fault. 

Not interested in Anthem so no buy.

I feel sadder that EA feels to be ditching SP RPG making and hoarding RPG gamers toward unitary online fodder that encompasses various genres.
SP = becoming a more rare thing.

As if anything will satisfy the insatiable beast that is gamer culture.

We've reached a point where entertainment value in video games is heavily saturated. Nothing surprises us.

Anthem is doomed because BioWare as a brand is ruined. Doesn't matter how good the game is. Just watch people rip the game apart.

I agree. Toxic brand.

If ME4 returns to form, though, they can easily win back us fanatics.

I predict a reboot in 6-7 years. Hopefully by then the extremist elements of the SJ movement will have died down enough to allow BW to make a game that appeals to both women and hetero-male gamers. 

I've got the money, BW, come and get it!

(Pls note: I'm talking ONLY about the extreme elements, not the entire movement.)

There is no such thing as entitlemet when it comes to paid products. That's when we talk about consumers, buyers, demands and a market. It's not on the same line as someone handing out free candy.

The entitlement argument was stupid some five years ago and it doesn't age well by repetition.

OK, changing the goal posts here, as I note. The SJW crowd homes in on every game and company. But they only make up a fraction of criticism. They also have long died down. There's hardly any new effort to observe. It mostly happened before and shortly after the game was released. Most probably didn't even buy it.

Sure, there's trolling - I would call it that - with every game. But that doesn't serve as a coverup that many people were disappointed (not entitled) by the game as it turned out to be. Paying customers that expected so much more. The critique was always the same. Lackluster story, lackluster worlds, lackluster companions. Not in any concerted effort, but that's how many people felt.
