Sure, go for it. But don't be surprised when folks are judged on how poor their opinions are, however. This thread is a cluster fuck for a reason... If you dont agree with the opinion of those who object to Anthem, then steer clear of the thread specifically designed for those who arent fans of it. as a rule, i dont go anywhere near any threads designed to hype it up, and should i find myself in a thread like that i certainly wouldnt object to anyones positive opinion on the game It's why I browse and seldom post here. Especially considering how insane some thought processing is. Fun to read but not worth my time otherwise.

Are you serious? Why should anyone care who isn't even interested in the game?
Also, by not buying the game, you are "excusing" exactly nothing. I didn't even need to read your original point to make this reply about it. EA won't get money from me for Anthem because it's not the kind of game I like to play. End of story.
And what message do you send by buying it? That no matter what they do and how shitty of a practice they commit to, how little effort they put in they'll still sell and turn a profit? And they will what, stop there and think something needs to change? Really? There's being a fanboy, and then there's being plain blind on issues. I have no idea of which "shitty practices" you're talking, but clearly, for those who buy the game they don't matter as much they do to you.
BTW, you wouldn't be accusing *me* of being a fanboy, right? I'm not interested in the game, remember? I even think fewer of its kind should be made, and more SP story-driven games should be made instead. I just don't like the attitude that because you care about an issue so much that you desire the game to fail, you think that others must do the same.

Would not touch anything Obsidian with a ten-foot pole. Their released products are always half-assed. (KOTOR 2 and Alpha Protocol burned me). lol those 2 games alone are better than all Bioware games since after ME2 (maybe minues ME3). Also you can fix a game with a good story and charcters but can't do such a thing with a mindless game that has next to none. Which is not saying much. I'd rather have no game than a half-assed release, which both of those games were. I expected a good quality game that was enjoyable, but with KOTOR II being released INCOMPLETE, and Alpha Protocol not knowing what type of RPG it was supposed to be, I am always left with the impression Obsidian is incompetent.

Isnt this the skepticism thread? arent folks allowed to air their displeasure for Anthem and the company behind it and express their own skepticism towards it as a result though? Sure, go for it. But don't be surprised when folks are judged on how poor their opinions are, however. This thread is a cluster fuck for a reason... Imagine getting triggered by a thread dedicated to the discontent and the critics of the game and entering there and showing their fanboyism. No wonder some other threads got locked down thanks to angry mobs reporting and alarming mods for BS reasons on a daily basis.

No kidding, your own triggering right now is proof of that trend right now. I am kind of glad it's all concentrated in one place. Makes it fun to read. Anyway, back to the real world. Have fun .

After playing the Anthem demo, I'm now back on the fence (after previously being increasingly interested). I wasn't aware you'd be forced to partner up. Granted, I haven't followed this game as closely as I would other Bioware games, and maybe that's been known for some time.
Couple that with the fact that the world is empty from a narrative POV, being lacking in NPCs, and I may just pass after all. Most of my real enjoyment was from the interactions in the hub world which, unfortunately, is a limited part of the game.

I know some who admitted having regrets about that. I just don't understand why they didn't wait the open demo, knowing EA and the disaster of the last Mass effect game. Make no sense.

There are extremely valid reasons as to why people are just not fond of EA as a publishing company, I am surprised people keep forgetting that. I am too, since they won't. shut. the. fuck. up. about. it. Yes, EA is greed incarnate and pretty inept at hiding it. But so is Uber. So is Facebook. So is Citigroup. So is WalMart. So is Monsanto. People have valid reasons for not being fond of those companies either, but they don't plague every forum thread with "reminders" of how greedy those bastards are. Well, okay, maybe they do in Facebook forums, but not for the rest. Uber had a CEO resign Walmart has had many court battles and other conflicts though the years Facebook is being examined for how it allowed the Russians to utilize their platform to influence the American 2016 Presidential election and how it should be regulated. So do not act like all those companies you mentioned do not receive any heat....because they do WITHIN their perspective industries. Walmart is retail Uber is transportation Facebook is social media EA is videogames Because this is a videogame forum, EA will receive such attention. Perhaps if EA changed their policies and actions maybe people would have a different outlook on EA. But to expect people to shut up and fall in line because you find it annoying or you fear it would have adverse affects against Bioware is just not going to happen.

Once people learn that the companies are trash and the vast majority stop buying from the companies, then people might just be able to shut up about it.

With the announcement and release of Apex Legends, or whatever that battle royale game is called. It is now being speculated that EA expected the backlash. they knew what kind of shit Bioware was going to show to the world and that it would turn a lot of people off and the sales for Anthem could end up very, very poor. So to save the fiscal year, is it called fiscal year? That yearly economy thing that these big companies like to show their investors, they had Apex Legends released as an insurance.

I wasn't 100% "go go go!" for Anthem but I slowly started to warm up to the hype. I was getting really excited.
Then I played the demos.
Then I tried to cancel my pre order.
Sony would not allow me to cancel despite me very politely pointing out my massive PS4 library and offering to simply have my PS Wallet credited and not actually asking for money back. I stated I was more than willing to have the purchase price directly transferred to another title. No go. Lesson learned.
Bioware will NEVER get another pre order out of me and I have bought their games at release (before pre order was a thing) or on pre order since Baldur's Gate 1. In fact I have purchased multiple copies of most of their titles for myself, to have on various systems, not to mention all the copies I have purchased as presents for others.

Let's just go ahead and rename this thread accordingly. I'm pissed this game isn't DA4/ME-next romance editions and I'm dissatisfied some fans are enjoying Anthem because it's everything I don't want Bioware to be...let me whine some more... thread.

The most important thing is that you learned the harsh lesson. We all make mistakes I made mistakes too by listening to mainstream media, I was certain they were honest, even if they were subjectives. It took me some time to realize they had ties with big companies, in exchange from some privileges, they would give good reviews no matter what. My first betrayal was with DAII, none of the reviewers pointed out all the creepy bugs DAII had ( like enemies dropping from the sky ) and then it keep happening with other games. The animations from MEA before the game being patched was just unbelievable, and none of the mainstream reviewers pointed out how indecent that was. It took only the reviewers from youtube to show all the buggy things in that game, to warn the gamers to not buy the game given all the technical issues at the beginning. Now, I always wait independent reviewers from youtube, who have no ties with any big company. Of course, I try to diversify, I don't listen to only one reviewer. and of course I watch every detail. But I don't read anymore mainstream media.

So, a seriously truncated demo meant to highlight Javelins and freeplay with a slight nod towards a NPC mission means no future pre-orders? Interesting.. I pre-ordered a while ago before the VIP was even a thing so maybe it has something to do with expectations. I honestly don't know why BioWare does demos anymore as no one seems to really be happy but I think this is more EA getting a chance to shill EA Access while BioWare cleans up the mess. Again, though, when has anyone really been happy with a demo from BioWare? People crapped on both the DA2 and ME3 demos...they should just not release them anymore.

ME:A has a metacritic score of 71 for PS4. Reviewers savaged it for animations and technical bugs.

What was their reason to deny prorder cancellation. Just out of interest.

Most of my real enjoyment was from the interactions in the hub world which, unfortunately, is a limited part of the game. It's funny because I've played mass effect 1 and 2 maybe 30+ times between them, I only ever watched the cut scenes and didn't skip conversations once per paragon/renegade run. Every other time I would skip the dialog so I could get back to fighting. The reason I don't play mass effects anymore is because I can't face all the talking. Anthem is right up my street.

The animations from MEA before the game being patched was just unbelievable, and none of the mainstream reviewers pointed out how indecent that was. It took only the reviewers from youtube to show all the buggy things in that game, to warn the gamers to not buy the game given all the technical issues at the beginning. Um, what? ME:A has a metacritic score of 71 for PS4. Reviewers savaged it for animations and technical bugs. That's way too much. A lot of reviewers 8/10 or 7/10. It didn't deserve a 6. Did you play the game before it was patched ? There were a lot of creepy unbelievable animations, especially with the crazy eyes from the characters. How such a messy buggy game like this could have been rated that high ? They never POINTED OUT how it was that indecent. Just watch a youtube video before it was patched, and you'll see how absolutely unacceptable that was to release such a buggy game unfinished and to pay 60 bucks for that.

The nature of bugs is that not everyone experiences them to the same degree. I had some no where near YouTube levels and it wasn’t enough to effect my opinion of the game much. I’d of and still would give it a 7. Also even if I did get super animation bugs they only effect my opinion of a game a small amount unless they break the game. Some of the anthem ones do sound game breaking. I’m not going to log on 20 times to get 2 times of play. That’s where I tank a review.
