You could say the same about the forum as a whole, this place is fucking dead. But what do you expect when moderation chases off half the user base with their bullshit? Ironically enough? In part to shill this very game! Boy that decision really paid off in spades. I don't check in as often but, in all fairness, what is there left to discuss about a game with a poor story that has released no meaningful content since February? They even canned their roadmap.
You picked the words out of my mouth. LOL!

You know, I thoroughly expected them to miss their Q1 roadmap targets, but to get back on track with Q2. I don't think they'll get back on that roadmap with Q3 either, now. Meanwhile, Fallout 76 is sticking to its guns, in spite of being 2018's WOTY (W for worst) and sitting at a comfortable #32 in the XBONE's 49 most played list. Brawlhalla is on that list, but Anthem is nowhere in sight. Borderlands 2, a 7 year old game, with no new content in the last 5 years, which is not even included as a free game in a game pass, is sitting on spot #41. People would rather play a dead, 7 year old game with no roadmap, than your game, Bioware. What the hell happened, man?

I haven't been as die hard about checking daily. What did I miss? Genuinely curious about the moderation. The overdramatisation is strong with this one. I reckon the sorry state of Anthem has a lot more to do with this subsection of the forum shrivelling than anythign else. The OT boards used to be a lot more lively too. Until a sizable chunk of the posters were chased away by Sofa and his cronies when they took over. The place has been withering ever since.

Well given that it's Iakus, he's surely talking about the Politics Thread which was nothing but an endless shouting match, as all political discussions end up as in this day and age.

Sure homie, ignore how people who have been around in BSN forums since before 2010 even, just dropped off after a few poor decisions by moderation. Folks who were around before Bioware Forums proper even existed, and persisted across its incarnations until its closure, came here and poof, now they are gone. Dramatic it may be, false it isn't.

However, just me personally, being still so upset about it's closure after all this time is a little much. I get it, I really do, but it's hardly worth acting like site management are "tyrants" for one foolish decision.

I get it, I really do, but it's hardly worth acting like site management are "tyrants" for one foolish decision. Haha..yeah... i used to luv that thread....it was fun getting into heated topics with Faceman and a few others, and i miss Frosted posting political cartoons criticizing the right wing folks, but the conversations always stayed civil (at least the ones i engaged in)....i even bumped heads with Iakus on occassion, .. ..funny tho...towards the end there Faceman and myself and a few others from the other side started to generally agree on a few things Trump was doing.... And that is ALL i will say about that as politics is frowned upon in this forum...... .... ......but ahhh yes those were the good 'ol days.... As far as Anthem goes?...i'm not sure...but i don't see it making that 10 year longterm vision it initially set out for.....supposedly the Cataclysm has gotten a wee bit better tho, so i guess there is still hope.....unfortunate Anthem isn't my type of game tho. I wonder what its sales numbers are currently tho, because the price drop has been savage with this game, i've seen it as low as 20 bucks in some places....overall this gen has been disappointing for me...i still find myself playing older games like the Dead Space trilogy, ReMake, ME2, and 3.....Spec Ops the line....NFL2k5....(Ps2). Only games that have been exceptional for me has been God of War, The Evil Within Two and Until Dawn, and Spiderman has been impressive too....fun factor just isn't there for me this gen like how it was for the last gen and older systems....

supposedly the Cataclysm has gotten a wee bit better tho, so i guess there is still hope Destiny 2 is releasing a new expansion in something like 40 days and there's Borderlands 3 releasing in September as well. Oh, and warframe has another big update for around that time, I think. Anthem has the Cataclysm, which is a 4 week timed event and then ... not even a roadmap. I'll say this, if Anthem recovers, I will be veeeeery surprised. Only games that have been exceptional for me has been God of War, The Evil Within Two and Until Dawn, and Spiderman has been impressive too....fun factor just isn't there for me this gen like how it was for the last gen and older systems.... Give AssCreed: Odyssey a spin. And, while many people would probably argue against it, Wolfenstein: Youngblood. Kassandra is and the Blazkowicz twins are all very adorable to play as. At least, I think you'll enjoy them, to an extent, so you might want to check out some let's plays first.

Reviewers haven't been kind to Youngblood. As far as I can tell, the game's not good at all for solo players. As for the twins, they seem to be a love/hate proposition, but reviewers agree it comes down to the (bad) writing.

Who needs a new expansion when you can add a 0.1 to Anthem's version every 2 months with 120% smooth gameplay, 30 minutes of extra content and super generous loots?!

Man I must have missed some games in the past ^^ But Assassin's Creed now has better story-telling/RPGing than Bioware so... Who knows, one day an independent Polish developper might put out the best open world RPG, or a Canadian one might put to shame AAA online shooters with a F2P game

It's not just that thread, though it was certainly the most visible sign (because yeah, it was easily one of the top three most popular threads on the forum) But other threads were locked, deleted, anchored, etc in the name of rightthink. And people have been banned for frivolous reasons, or driven off by moderators for not being "the right sort" And attempts to call them on this tend to get silenced. As a result, the community here, and thus participation, has shrunk. Not just in the Anthem threads, but all over the forum. But I won't go any further here lest this thread suffer the same fate as others.

When was the last time that you EVER EVER EVER heard a woman speaking like this? I mean, I get the fact that they want these women to be heroes. But these women have bigger schmeckles than I do.
It's not just just bad writing, it's unrealistic as well.

I agree, this place is dying. Though some of it is due to the mods running people off because of their viewpoints, a lot of it also stems from there's just nothing to discuss. Personally I'm not hyped about anything BW is doing. Who is actually hyped about a new DA that just might be another multiplayer microtransaction mess? Well, I'm not. There are far better things that will be coming out soon, another DA in the frostbite engine isn't even on my radar. Right now I'm playing the banner saga trilogy, made by some of the old BW peeps, and waiting for Outer Worlds, catherine full body, monster hunter world: ice bourne, cyberpunk 2077, and so many others. BW has faded out. There are just better games, in the multiplayer "GaaS" genre that are being done better than BW games. They use to be RPG creatures, but not anymore. When Ubisoft can make a better RPG than BW, something has gone wrong. I still lurk from time to time here, but most days I spend time on CDPR website in the cyberpunk forums.
