Well - Been away for a while, but... Is Anthem still going on? Really? The beta seems to be going a bit slow, but I am sure it will be better on release... Don't you get tired of them easy ones, Saandrig?

Tales of series. Also baldurs gate to an extent. I played only Tales of symphonia, but man that was a cool game. And every time you think it was done, there was a whole new chapter. Love that game, but it was very hard to play coop on GameCube because of the camera. The PS3 version is much improved on that aspect. Vesperia, abyss, and berseria are all excellent games if you’re interested in revisiting the series. Vesperia was just released for switch with a bunch of new content. Edit - and how could I forget Xillia 2, which might be my favorite.

Well - Been away for a while, but... Is Anthem still going on? Really? I mean, Yeah, It's not "officially" declared dead, but in reality it looks to me it's laying the dead bed slowly passing away. If it's still somewhat moving I guess, but it's only am matter of time. It reminds me of the Monty Python "dead parrot" act, where the shop owner taps the body and declares "it's alive because it was moving a moment ago". I could be wrong, but ehhhw.. Who cares anyway... PillarBiter - The Tales series are great. I loved the latest PC port, and put hours in it (I also liked Berseria). It will not be as great for me as the Trails series (next week the English translated version of Trails of Cold Steel III will be released), but it comes close. Does trails have coop?

Plot twist! Pillar is a Bioware dev in disguise and he just leaked the new Road map as an Anthem 2.0 post! But here the plot twist ends, because Bioware will deliver on this new Road map exactly as well as they did with the last one

Ouch. A review with the "worse than anthem" line? That has to hurt :/ I am sure it has more content and players than Anthem ever had. But! Unlike Anthem it looks to me that it went "straight for your wallet" with it's MTX implementation. I am not sure by this point if we should praise Anthem for being so conservative or criticize it for not even having the time to put predatory MTX in an EA title...

Well, as much as you can talk smack about Anthem, not having predotary loot boxes is quite the achievement these days, apparently.

Even Activision seems to be skipping out on lootboxes with their latest Call of Duty. I still think that all the battle pass does is reveal to you the contents of the next lootbox, the way the press release is worded, but we'll see. I ain't buying it, though.

I've watched the Angry Joe rant about Breakpoint and, boy, that utter lack of sound while flying... WTF. That's a new low for AAA. One of the most shameless MTX stores with a slapped on "game" around it I've seen yet. Anthem may not be my kind of game but it's WAY better than this garbage. Good grief!
I do think Anthem's MTX store being so bad that nobody buys stuff is a GOOD thing. Maybe not for Bioware if EA thinks they can't bring in big bucks. But as a (former?) fan of their work, it makes me glad they don't seem to care about the store. Means they haven't sold out yet.
The worst thing for gamers is bad games making big bucks with MTX regardless. Because then garbage games designed around MTX is going to be the default approach of AAA very soon. Well, I guess it's like that already... But publishers are going to get even more cocky if people just accept it. They are as bold as never before these days.
Good news is that this helps AA developers!

AAA games are going full gacha games approach hahahaha. they see that low effort generates tons of money while trying to develop a game for 5 years with top notch budget doesn't. I mean I can understand it in a way, if you think about it, right now even the worst mobile game is generating more money than Anthem.

However Anthem is not a game developed in 5 years with top notch budget. It's less than a 2 year rush job in which the developers still didn't have a clear view what they want to achieve at the end. And the result is even worse than the low effort games that actually generate tons of money (NBA 2k20 etc.). But this may change a little. Look how people are hyped for those Mass Effect cosmetics. Anthem finally started working on it's MTX offerings.

And MTX is the only thing remaining in for that game, it's the same way that swtor still to this day keeps running around, game hasn't generated any content for the last 2 years or so, and the only way they had to maintain themselves was/is his MTX shop. Also having Star Wars as a name help quite a lot.

I don't trust Bioware at being capable of making a coherent good game today. 5 years costing, producing nothing but lies and a two-year rush at garbage. Everyone is always sulking about EA but I say it is Bioware that abused all good faith in this instance.
Bioware and EA deserve each other since Bioware stooped to EA's level. I expect nothing less than a game devised around MTX popular called life-service at best with online-only at worst.

Yeah... Bio, imo, will develop DA4 to be what most don't expect... designed for the younger crowd.

Anime? Dammit, wish I could create a Solas model that says "Nani?" Such a game will be a big hit in Japan, so it might be worth it just for that alone
Btw, any thoughts on the fact that Anthem realistically should be on patch 1.2 and not 1.5? Because the only content we got since launch was one Stronghold and one event. Just two content updates, but the patch number looks like it's five Even SWTOR in it's worst content starvation days never dared to pull that. I think 8 months after launch SWTOR was on patch 1.3.4 or something. If they followed Anthem's example, they would have been on something like patch 1.55.3
