Plus there's CP2077 on the horizon in June which IMO is going to absolutely kill Anthem's longevity. I'm not expecting CP2077 before 2020, TBH. CP 2020 will indeed not be for 2019.
Bioware will just have to time their DLC expansions well, but that's easier to time than a full game.

I both agree and disagree with the video but let's look at the release schedule:
Anthem is going to be released on February 22th, 2019 and we known that the winter 2018-spring 2019 window is going to be extremely crowded with games. Here are the other games are going to be released alongside Anthem: Resident Evil 2 Remake - January 25 Kingdom Hearts 3 - January 29 Days Gone - February 22 Metro Exodus - February 22 Crackdown 3 - February Trials Rising - February The Division 2 - March 15 Battletoads - March Plus there's CP2077 on the horizon in June which IMO is going to absolutely kill Anthem's longevity.
Anthem better sell millions of copies within this extremely short period.
Kingdom Hearts 3. Ok, Anthem would not have had a chance with me even if there was a completely offline single player campaign.

If they contunue making excuses and not learning from their mistakes, BioWare might as well pack up their bags and go home and let Bethesda and CDPR make RPG games.

Here are my problems with Anthem at this point based off the latest IGN vid released yesterday... 1, Why is this guy doing a lame voice over?! You invited 4 awesome devs right? Why are they not all speaking?! If you had them on mics while going thru the mission, maybe it would provide real feedback or thoughts while they were playing? The guy makes a comment about making fun of someone that we didnt hear. Or I missed it somehow... The guy commenting isnt even playing so it still comes off as disingenuous! Then they still make the same mistakes they've made so far. I want to see Story, even if it's just a few minutes proving they have one!! Then I want to watch them customize a suit!! Dont say we can, SHOW it!! If it's a deep system, we can see merits of playing, vs just them taking on an easy mission no one dies on or really gets hurt! If those enemies werent cannon fodder but something to be scared of facing and the team looked like it would die at any second the whole time? I would think, OK. They needed those suits to survive out there for a reason! I'm not getting that feeling at all. Just like how the guy claimed the titan was too powerful at the moment, but they pass right by his hand and it does nothing!! It should have killed them!! If this game was as hard as Dead Space 1 before getting your upgrades or Dark Souls, but with mechs?! Even with the clear lack of a story, we might take this "game" in a better way/light.
I generally try to wait for a real look at a game, but everything they've shown is raising my hackles for a terrible Destiny to this game... It looks amazing environmentally. But that's it. Everything Bioware is known for is missing minus the tight combat from ME3's multiplayer... If there is no real story, which has to true, since whenever they're asked about it, they start fumbling around and cant talk directly to the questioner. They need PVP and TDM, horde, etc modes. I'm not seeing there being much of a game or to do otherwise. Im used to ME game having terrible glitches and being broken, but at least having great content once the game is working. This game doesnt seem to have much to offer and Bioware fans, but just there to please EA's fix for another MP game... I had MEA glitch out and make continuing impossible, so I havent went back, though I wanted to finish it. Not sure if its patched out now? I'm guessing that will be my last Bioware game at this point unless they step up their game drastically from what they've revealed so far.

Combat in Anthem has some tactical elements and the range appears more distant than the ME3/MEA MP games. So, don't expect similar combat experiences. From the demo, this is clearly evident.
Anthem's CC is probably another lame customization tool. Bio has a history of lameness in this discipline. For them to show it is to admit a failure.
Story? Forget it if you expect a DA or ME type character story. Take the latest playable demo. How many words did our intrepid Freelancer say? See any voice dialogue choices while in the forward base?
The "story" can be found in the Codex entries, imo.

Everything Bioware is known for is missing minus the tight combat from ME3's multiplayer... Excellent, this means you got the message. Anthem is not Mass Effect nor Dragon Age. It's meant to attract people who like Destiny. BTW, I'd quibble about the tight combat. It doesn't look as tight as ME3MP to me, probably because there's no cover mechanics. Looks like it's going more for power fantasy (read, superhero) over virtuosity.

Yah, well, I guess that tells me something about you only considering the people who gave enough of shit to leave a like or dislike. But I s'pose you're correct there. Out of the people who gave enough of a shit to leave a like or dislike, 90%> liked the video. Not counting the 98% of people like me who just watched it and "Meh."
Back to topic. I still need to see the next video about the story. Gameplay seems good but story takes precedence to me.
When 98% of people fall into the that control group? Uhhh, yah. It's then time to come up with a better hypothesis. Not the 2% outliers who decided to vote on whether they like or disliked the video. I mean, that's fine, just keep on commenting, and I'll keep on snapping Sofa's back until the cows come home. Doesn't bother me.

Mark Darrah blaming Zelda for Andromeda's poor sales it just despicable. These games are not even on the same platform, and by and large they are not aimed towards the same playerbase. Besides, even if Zelda were responsible for ruining Andromeda's financial success, there is another issue: Andromeda also failed at its critical reception, and that can't be blamed on Zelda or any other game. Titanfall 2 is known for being commercially lackluster for releasing in a matter of days between Call of Duty's and Battlefield's titles. Still, it had favorable reviews - more so than its competitors. Andromeda on the other hand failed both commercially and critically. If Anthem fails, I wonder which excuses Darrah is going to come up with.

Below are the comments he made on Twitter regarding his statement: Darrah is off his meds. There is no possible reality where Andromeda comes in at 77/78 for ratings aggregation. It's a *miracle* that it came in at low 70s, owing largely to the length of time you'd truly have to spend with it (in single and multi) to get a feel for the truly staggering missteps at every turn. Every single person I talked to that wasn't a True Believer rated it lower the longer they played it. When Anthem comes out you will still have the BioWare Faithful to bolster scores and reputation but you won't have the built in Mass Effect fanbase. I wonder if EA/BW management is going to pull the ol' "review embargo but pay $5 for Early Access" scam again?

Every single person I talked to that wasn't a True Believer rated it lower the longer they played it. Reviewers not playing the full game is one problem, but you also have to remember that the rating scale for game reviews is broken considering hardly anybody uses the 1-5 part of the scale. So a score of 77/78 puts it in the higher part of the "this is average" range which is not unbelievable, I guess.

For sure it also benefitted from general ratings bloat as well as BioWare Prestige bloat. I'm pretty sure I remember a video review, I think from IGN saying something along the lines of "I wish I could rate this lower, but..."

Yup I fell for it too on Andromeda like a dumb ass mark. I think it wasn't until YongYea on youtube pointed out the scam that I realized we'd all been took. I feel like there will probably be some backlash if they do it again, but I wouldn't bet against it happening either.

I had never been hyped, to begin with, but this E3 gameplay vid makes it worse. That boss fight was waaay too slow. They were barely scratching it, and they had to cut it off somewhere around 50% HP. Same for the intro dungeon crawl - they had basically told us 'sorry guys, it's too long and boring to look at, we'd rather skip it'. With all their talks about 'tactical combat', the design is still a two-button LB+RB mashing. Hopefully, the enemies are more varied and numerous compared to MEA. The environments look great - no doubt in that. The world is what MEA should have been, but I highly doubt that their freedom of exploring is that much of a freedom. Also, I had noticed that it's annoying to me to see an ugly mech instead of a character. It looks like we are supposed to see it a lot, and I don't think that we're going to get a decent customization not involving the cash-shop. Too early to speak about the story\characters, which are among their possible strongest selling points, I'm surprised to hear so little about it. ps: reusing the Reaper sounds for those 'titans'? Really, BW? Meh!

Would you rather see a demo where they wipe out the boss before it can even get to the second progress stage? That's what they were afraid of, since they boosted the XP level of the Javelins, because who wants to watch noobs? So they boosted the health of the boss too, just for the demo. It was a demo, not a Twitch live stream. Of course they are going to edit it for length. It's true, in missions you might get forced back on track, but in Free Play mode they've said everything you've unlocked on the map will be accessible. Not to the action gaming MP crowd, who couldn't care less about that stuff. That's the growth market for making more money in this kind of game.

I’m saying this cause I got burned by Bungie with their lies, it’s not that I want it to fail for Biowear to close down cause loseing your job sucks, but I want it to fail enough for them to say hey let’s go work on dragon age 4, mass effect is a big enough for multiple stories let’s see what we can do.
Now if this game is good with enough single player content cause you just can’t count on anyone, I will get it
