I haven't bought Anthem, as I'm not really into multiplayer and I got the distinct impression that its appeal might be limited for someone like myself who's primarily drawn to Bioware games for the stories, characters, worldbuilding, and dialogue choices. So...is there any reason I *shouldn't* follow the advice of the many lukewarm reviews and file this one under "check back and see if they've improved it later"? depends Are you a masochist? If not then...no, no reason

This game has some of the worse loot drops I've played with, its not that the weapons all look alike, its the the fact you need god tier rolls on the random stats to get a good gun, & even then sometimes the god roll you get doesn't even effect said item in the first place. Secondary effects on most Masterworks/Legendaries that aren't heals or damage based buffs, & guns that can prime for combos are straight up bad. Why can't people when making a "looter shooter" just take a few pages from Borderlands 2 regarding the loot drops? Pretty much every unique/legendary has a mission, & or a named enemy it can drop from in BL2. Mean while in Anthem, I want the LMG "Cycle of Pain" for my Ranger gun build but I have to rely on a random drop to get one which could be 1 drop from now, or a 1,000.
Since all mtxes are vanity items, I don't understand the pizz poor loot either..... unless something dark this way comes = LBs
Limiting crafting materials is one way of generating frustration which can lead to BUY the skin.

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. Amen, brother!

As someone who has had zero interest in Anthem since it was first announced its been rather interesting watching all this unfold. Once we get some sales numbers the picture will clear up but I am rather worried about the future of Bioware now. They had everything riding on Anthem, and while it hasn't been the complete clown show that Fallout 76 was it hasn't been exactly a smooth launch for Bioware. Of course Bethesda doesn't have to worry about being owned by EA.
With the critic scores where they are if the money doesn't roll in for Anthem, well that could be very bad news for Bioware. This is what happens when you sell out to a publisher like EA or Activision though, your IP's get milked, your talent driven off, and eventually the company either dies or gets killed off.
This was supposed to be the A team, and amazingly, it seems to have had the same development errors Andromeda had. Now, I have to wonder if most were taken off DA to finish this, just like they were taken off of Andromeda. So yeah, there is serious concern for Bioware's future here. They've made the same catastrophic mistakes twice in a row now. This kind of lends some credibility to what that Manveer Heir ( or something) said: middle management and project leaders are the biggest problem in Bioware ( or EA in general).
I feel most sorry for the bulk of devs who worked their asses of and are crunching like mad right now, not knowing if EA will fire them at any moment.

Seriously broken yet addictive = bad combination and triggering. The game play is super fun. The loot chase is fun. Got my first master work. Loving the game, when it works. No exaggeration, the game crashes to desktop 50% of the time when I first start it up. The bugs are pissing me off too. Not being able to revive or interact with anything when you're the last one alive in a public stronghold and have people quit cos they haven't got mics or ears apparently so they think you're tea bagging them when you're trying to revive them. Loading me in to strong holds at the boss where only one person is left and I just wasted 15 epic ember on consumables. Twice I've been on a contract, one was about a guy called diggs, two of us got in the boss room and two didn't. That was fun... Flew to another contract, got there and got dropped by a turret I couldn't see, waited for my team mates to revive me, they didn't, so I respawned, puts me back to the strider I spawned on. Miles away. Also what's with the respawn load screen? Why can't I just respawn where I am or close to it, why the 30 seconds loading screen? After the last fight on the tomb mission I got stuck in a cut scene, was just staring at the floor. During the last mission the sound cut out, so didn't hear anything from half way through the mission. After the mission was over just before it got to my loot the game got stuck so I couldn't see my loot. Loaded back up, game crashes three times before letting me back in to FT to see the last cut scene.
I mean I could go fucking on and on, I haven't posted in a while as I've been waiting to rant and here is my rant. Game is super fun and addictive but the fucking thing doesn't work. For me anyway. I've spent more time in loading screens and trying to launch the game and being frustrated with bugs yesterday and today then actually playing.
/End rant.

Limiting crafting materials is one way of generating frustration which can lead to BUY the skin.
They don't even have a bunch of skins to buy. Not counting LoD there are two armor sets for each Javelin to buy with in-game currency or real money. There are about 4 emotes available to buy. Ridiculous how little customization they have.

Freeplay at endgame is bringing a set of around 290%+ harvest bonus, ignoring everything except plants, & rocks because events give so little in the way of loot I'm better off shooting a plant/rock getting 17ish Chimeric Alloy/Compound, & 5 Embers of any color, than opening a chest that'll just give me a couple of items I'll just salvage anyway. Also Titans aren't even worth the hassle, they're about as good as a Freeplay chest.

Ok he nailed all the stuff I was talking about in my previous posts about Bioware lying through their teeth especially Casey Hudson Btw, once again, where is he? Come on I am craving some of his world renown BS excuses Like "it just works"? No wait, that is the other guy. "there won't be just an A, B, C ending", yeah that is it. People should realize by now that anything a dev and/or publisher says about a game pre-launch is likely complete BS.

I wanted to post this video because around the 9:45 mark UEG talks about BW future. I've been watching his videos for a while, and the guy sometimes have some good inside information. He predicts that some of BW staff will be moved to respawn, some will help out with DA, and a skeleton crew will remain on Anthem. I don't know how right his assumptions are, but this guy is right a lot of the time. This worries me just a bit, I wonder if and when DA4 is done will EA just close BW? A bit of food for thought.

Do you think Bioware got overconfident? Anthem begin when they are high off the success of ME, where they transitioned from RPG to what essentially is a shooter game. Its natural for them to feel that since they conquered one genere after another, they can do anything.
I think they bought into their own hype that they can do no wrong, thats how MEA happened, where they setout to do a ridiculous no man sky type game before crashing and burning. Now the same thing with anthem. To a lesser extent, this happened to DAI. Overly confident leading to overly ambitious leading to bad result.

It would explain the slapped together nature of everything, how it feels like a few concepts cobbled together. 2) BW was confident that the traversal and combat would be sufficient to tide people over for a month or two and give them time to actually release the planned content by April. Unfortunately the astonishment wears off after only a few days of playing.

ME1 definitely not ME2 and 3 the shooting elements were always one game behind gears of war in advancement, MEA maybe I think its worse game play to ME3 but a lot of people think its the best of the series, it went away form gears combat to something new. I don't play enough shooters to say whether it was new or just another copy.
So even if MEa is where they finally conquered the shooter genre, it took 4 ME games to get there, would they think looter shooter we'll get it right on the first try.

Unfortunately the astonishment wears off after only a few days of playing. I agree with you. 6 years in development ? Not possible. At some point Anthem was restarted - same as MEA - in my opinion no later than 2 years ago. After 6 years Anthem should be polished, very alive and full of massive amount of content.

Well, given the immense time and investment they made toward anthem, they did. Anthem doesnt strike me as a test case to get their feet wet, more like putting all their eggs in one basket.

The marketing was engineered to reel in the Bioware core fanbase at first by lying through their teeth and then tell the truth in bits and pieces to "turn the heat of the water up slowly so the frog does not jump out" Again, no proof but theory fits evidence

All evidence points to the game at its core was bioware's initiative. EA may have its paws here and there, like the mandate to use frostebite or varoius iteration of monetizing schemes, but it doesnt look like this game would have been made unless Bioware was fully committed to it themselves.

as I said before This stemmed by the fact that EA wanted a destiny clone and used Bioware as a mean to fend off the WoW Effect associated with an MMO style game. Since it is easier than starting from scratch EA made Bioware convert Anthem (which was already in production) to that idea. The marketing was engineered to reel in the Bioware core fanbase at first by lying through their teeth and then tell the truth in bits and pieces to "turn the heat of the water up slowly so the frog does not jump out" Again, no proof but theory fits evidence i dont think your theory fits any of the evidence. All evidence points to the game at its core was bioware's initiative. EA may have its paws here and there, like the mandate to use frostebite or varoius iteration of monetizing schemes, but it doesnt look like this game would have been made unless Bioware was fully committed to it themselves. It was Bioware's decision to use Frostbite. www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheGame/comments/8a51uf/clarification_bioware_was_not_forced_into_using/ (thread by our own biggydx )
