Maybe Anita Sarkesian can come help them with their character scripts, they just needed to consult with her more. /s

So the writers for Mass Effect Andromeda, the leads anyway, were: John Dombrow, Cathleen Rootsaert (she's also the writer for Anthem), and Chris Schlerf. From what I've gathered, Patrick Weekes is expected to be the lead writer for Dragon Age 4; don't know who else is working with him. His works include: Characters: Solas, Mordin, Tali, Jack, Mirandi, Kasumi, Iron Bull, Cremisius Aclassi, Bull's Chargers, and Cole Games: Dragon Age: Inquisition - Did the Here Lies the Abyss story quest; Mass Effect 3 - Did the Rannoch and Tuchanka story arcs DLC: Was lead writer for the Trespasser DLC (DA:I) and The Citadel DLC (ME3) It seems that Dragon Age is in good hands then

I thought that Andromeda's awful writing and dialogue might have been a fluke, a product of someone in the Montreal studio just not knowing what the hell they're doing. Anthem is showing us this is the new BioWare. I hope you like quips and sarcasm and banter and quirkyness and lolsorandom, because apparently that's BW from here on out. Like it's written by a fucking Tumblr committee. How many of the writers from Andromeda are now on Anthem? I've noticed one who was a writer on andromeda was now a lead writer on Anthem.

Soooo When do we start seeing heads roll? Not until the quarterly financial statements. That's when the they'll probably release sales numbers. They wanted 6 million units by the end of March.

I still want to see it for myself.

There is something i'd like to know. Do we often see our face or not ? I'm wondering why Bioware put so much efforts to put so many ( good ) different preset faces if it isn't to use them in cutscenes or something else.
I would call that a waste.

It's really try-hard humor and quipiness, when past Bioware games pulled off their humor almost effortlessly. If anything Anthem has reminded me of well earlier Bioware games did this stuff.

Soooo When do we start seeing heads roll? The bean-counters at EA expects 6 million copies sold in the first 6 weeks since launch, they probably want to see whether that is likely to happen first before any decisions starts being made.

Do you really think you'll be missing much when this is their best showing after 6 years? I'd rather have them closed and someone normal buying off the rights to the franchise than have this travesty. Obsidian made Dragon Age. A man can dream. They went full SJW and gimped themselves in creativity department. There's no complex plots and shitty options. Remember how you can let people get raped in exchange for money in DAO. Do you think that will ever happen under current Bioware? Complexity, shades of grey and edge is all eliminated for sake of politically correct tumblerisms. Death of Bioware is the best we can hope for
removed by moderator
There's plenty of shades in having the freedom to be a piece of shit. And in problematic topics that Bioware won't touch. Goody two shoes and online monetization is the word of the day

As per usual, skeptisism seems to win the day. If you are skeptic about a game, drawn back and unsure of it's performance and quality, you stand to lose absolutely nothing. You do not overhype the game, you do not end up with some crazy expectations. If the game is bad, you win. Hell, if the game turns out to actually be good... you still win, you still end up with a great game that you can play! Do not preorder, do get hyped about games. Be interested but skeptical, follow the news, remain calm and rational throughout it all. When the game comes out, look to several game reviewers, not just the big gaming news outlets, look at youtubers too because despite how much the big news media likes to hate and belittle them out of jealousy, then they still can have some valid points. Always remember, what you are dealing with are corporations that are waiting to milk you dry of everything you have, it is not passion projects like 'Kingdom Come: Deliverance' was. It is business, it is rushed game after rushed game to satisfy a bunch of rich people every year, to entertain THEM not to entertain YOU. Remain skeptical and win at every turn! Don't care about winning the arguments for or against a game, that is not what this is about. It is about remaining level-headed and doing our best to hopefully show the big guys in the industry, that what we want is quality, we want games made to entertain the gamers, the users, not to entertain the wallets of those who do not play the games.

I hope this game gets the MEA treatment, it sucks and has the plug pulled and they concentrate on the next DA game..... make sure you use none of the story writers, scriptwriters or the clowns that decide what game play is fun- they don't have a clue. They have good animation, but too much is too much
Other than a future release of DA or ME, Ea is pretty much dead to me. Get rid of the new peeps that have taken over bioware, they really suck.

I kinda can't believe the shitty weapon variety in Anthem, the more I think about it the most I'm just flabbergasted that there are only 3-4 weapons of each type and only what like 12 types.

The same-ness of Anthem's weapons is baffling. They all look like slightly different variants of the same weapon product line. It's the equivalent of a modern day shooter which offers four assault rifles, and instead of picking ones that are clearly distinctive from each other like an M16, AK47, G36 and L85, we get something with as much variety as an HK416, HK416A5, HK417 and HK417A2.

Well, Mtashed is frustrated. He makes a good point. It's not about ratings, game is lacking content to keep playerbase engaged.
- No PvP
- Poor loot with little variety
- Lack of enemy variety
- Simple mechanics and combat
- Very little post main campaign content
- Lackluster mission design, repetitive environments
And a lot of things need to be fixed.
I guess someone at EA had a decision: Do we release Anthem now and gamble on that people might love it to ignore all it's missing, or later when a lot of people already are playing second Division.
This should've been released at least a year later.
