And this is the problem. For a lot of people, the fear is the vaguness that is surrounding this game. Is it SP? Is it MP? Given that it's a shared world shooter, and the E3 demo showcased three other players alongside you, I'd say "yes" it is a multiplayer game. I don't even think that was up for debate. I think a more prominent question to ask is, "Can I play the games story alone?" and the creative director of the game said, "yes" during that exact same demo. The Division is another shared-world game with multiplayer aspects, but a vast majority of that game can be played solo, and you can still get really great gear. It's just a matter of balancing the amount of time it takes to get said gear vs the number of players doing a specific activity. As an example, if you're a solo player and want really high-quality endgame gear, you could complete a series of quests within a weekly milestone to have access to it. Meanwhile, players able to join a group could engage in a multiplayer focused activity and get the same endgame rewards; albeit in a quicker but more challenging manner. As for the vagueness, I feel like you're scrutinizing Bioware a lot more than you are with CDPR. CDPR hasn't even shown any gameplay of Cyberpunk, and the game was revealed back in 2013; with even fewer details known about it since then. There are Bioware employees associated with Anthem that have been coming to the Anthem subreddit to give clues, hints, and even flat-out statements about what the game will have; courtesy of Brenon Holmes (Technical Design Director). For me, Anthem is a lost cause. You're not even letting the game bare out based on its own merits though. You're saying the game is a failure in your eyes because you don't like the multiplayer aspect of the game, when in reality, the game may not be a failure and it just isn't a game for you. If I didn't like SP-only games and said The Witcher 3 would be a failure because of it, you'd more than disagree with me on that. I don't even have anything against CDPR, and I think they provide a good antithesis to what the current established monetization scheme of the industry is right now. No, and you're really not being fair. There are lots of high quality games that people legitimately don't like for one reason or another, and it's normal for people to dislike entire genres. You couldn't get me to play a 10/10 racing game for example. This is a forum full of fans of a developer that historically has put out single player RPGs with heavy story elements, npc interaction, and the ability to influence the world in game. A shared world Destiny type game is basically the opposite of that, and it's legitimate for people to conclude at this point that the genre this game is in isnt for them. And that's on top of EAs clear track record of forcing mtx into games in a way that ruins the gameplay completely.

Fixed it for you. Fallout 4 was a pretty big disappointment for me, and where is TES6?Right now Bethesda is making too much money on all these Skyrim ports. I am sure a TES6 is already in the works, but they will milk Skyrim for every last drip before releasing TES6. Same thing with Rockstar Games and GTA6. Kind of a tangent, but I actually think it's an attempt to increase sales of TE6 - remind the market how good Skyrim was shortly before TE6 launches.

I don't even have anything against CDPR, and I think they provide a good antithesis to what the current established monetization scheme of the industry is right now. Of course CDPR isn't being scrutinized very much! Why would they be when TW3 achieved so much success and so many accolades? I've never played the game (I think I'd hate it, from everything I've seen) so I'm no CDPR fanatic, but it's generally agreed upon that it was an excellent game. Confidence in CDPR is near-absolute. Bioware, which is wounded (hardly dying, but still a little shaky) from how Andromeda turned out, does not have that same confidence from potential customers. Nor should they. Right now Bethesda is making too much money on all these Skyrim ports. I am sure a TES6 is already in the works, but they will milk Skyrim for every last drip before releasing TES6. Same thing with Rockstar Games and GTA6. Kind of a tangent, but I actually think it's an attempt to increase sales of TE6 - remind the market how good Skyrim was shortly before TE6 launches. I believe it. Similarly, I'm fairly certain that's why Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon both got remastering projects, as in they're both getting revived as video game franchises and Vicarious Visions was given the old material to see if they could make facsimiles worthy of the "good old days." For Bethesda, all the Skyrim ports are an exercise in compatibility and porting work to make the next game a successful multiplatform juggernaut, while generating a steady stream of income until the next major franchise has a release (no doubt in lieu of the rather underwhelming Fallout 4) and keep TES in the public eye. This in addition to ESO's ongoing support and expansions.

At least Bethesda used to make great single player games than BioWare. Fixed it for you. Fallout 4 was a pretty big disappointment for me, and where is TES6? That's your opinion, and Fallout 4 is a successful game and sold over 12 million copies when it first released. And they confirmed that they won't release the next game anytime soon. BioWare should be the ones to worry about their future. Whether Anthem is going to succeed, or crash like Andromeda and dissolve into EA.

Yeah At first it seemed it had something else to do than pilfer and pillage, then get the stuff back to "base" but alas, the other thing was shoot-the-enemy! Where was the fallout in the game other than the setting? Sigh. At least we still have 1, 2 and New Vegas as good and real Fallout games.

Definitely not. The game is not made to be rushed through focussing on just one thread. There are several threads to be nested out. The devs gives us the chance to build our story withourt the hand-holding of following specified quests to the letter. I'm 167 hrs in so far and making my way to the glowing sea. I like games that are more on rail as well but I sure am glad that not all are. And I don't think we really need silly gating like the level gating of the main quest in Morrowind. I'm glad they did away with stuff like that.

There you could go around but the stories you got were more detailed and fleshed out.

I am glad you liked it, but the whole Season Pass fiasco is still leaving a bad taste in my mouth and I wish people would talk about that more instead of just swiping it to the side. I have a tendency anymore to wonder how people would react if EA did something similar and this one I think if EA did the price increase of a Season pass it would have been another major sin by EA, but since it was done by Bethesda it seems to be largely forgotten.

I missed most of the hallabaloo surrounding the release of FO4. I caught some and it held me off buying the game for two years. If anything I feel cheated by the internet now. Anyway I feel that EA should be treated the way Bethesda are more then the other way around. Instead of internet hatred bandwagons I strongly suggest voting with your wallet.

I am glad you missed a lot of it. A lot of the design decisions didn't bother me the one thing that got under my skin was the increase of $20 for the season pass while they were talking the reasons being "great content" and things of that nature. At first that didn't bother me until I saw what the "great content"was. So after seeing the content and how they announced a month before increasing the price to me has always felt that they drove people to buy the Season Pass that might have wanted to take a wait and see approach to what was really being offered so they would only spend $40 instead of the increased price of $60. I agree, all of my game purchases are on a case by case basis and if I don't like what the game is doing or what the publisher/developer is doing with their product I don't buy it or I don't buy it at full retail price.

What was the issue with FO4s season pass? To expensive? Wasn't worth the price? The practice itself? I've been recently looking at FO4 threads (not here) and most say it's worth it, so if most aren't showing an issue towards it, what was wrong with it? Personally it was easily worth it as you got everything if I can recall and you saved more buying the pass than you would buying everything individually.

Very informative video. I remember before KOTOR and ME1 came out, people were talking about how these games will change the industry and even be GOTY contenders. I remember people saying that all they need to see is the Bioware logo on it and it is a 100% guaranteed buy. What happened?

I posted just above, but the quick breakdown is they increased the price by $20 post launch and made a public announcement about a month prior to the increase in price. Normally that alone wouldn't bother me, but it was how they were trying to sell the increase in price. To me at least it felt like they were trying to drive people to buy the season pass while it was cheaper prior to an increase in price while not really seeing the value and greatness they were trying to sell it as. If it was a more measured sales pitch I might have felt differently.

Yea I saw the next post mentioning the increase in the pass price (which I wasn't even aware of till just then, guess not many on the FO forum mentioned it in the threads I was in). Regarding the issue with that: I can see an issue with that. So what you're saying is if you bought it before the price increase you got lucky to get it in time? If so I can definitely see complaints "why am I paying extra when those guys don't just cause they bought it earlier". I bought the pass in my pre-order so I never knew they even raised the price. I believe it was like 40$ too, so they upped it to 60$ after? Not so sure I'd say all the extra content is necessarily a full games worth of value myself.

At least Bethesda used to make great single player games than BioWare. Fixed it for you. Fallout 4 was a pretty big disappointment for me, and where is TES6? Fallout 4 was disappointing, but it wasn't bad. In fact I'd go so far as to say it's a good game. I spent a good deal of time on it and enjoyed playing it. I had 4 main gripes: 1. Main questline was poorly written and unless you want to ignore it arbitrarily, it railroads the player into completing it. 2. Brotherhood of Steel had a very Morrowind-esque endgame that was abandoned for no reason. 3. Settlement management was just plain irritating and the game suffered from a lack of real settlements. 4. Dungeons respawned way too quickly which minimized the in-world progress. Graphically, Bethesda took a huge leap forward with better lighting and animation across the board. Soundtrack was pretty solid. Ranged weapon combat was drastically improved. Enemy scaling and the general difficulty were decent. Player dialogue was an experiment that mostly failed, but they got a much better feel for how to handle follower interaction. The problem with going the "used to" route is that Bethesda takes forever to release new games in the same series; it's not practical to look at one game and point out a trend, especially considering that Fallout is a franchise they're not terribly concerned about to begin with (otherwise New Vegas wouldn't have gone to Obsidian and FO4 wouldn't have been used as a crash test dummy).

Fixed it for you. Fallout 4 was a pretty big disappointment for me, and where is TES6? That's your opinion, and Fallout 4 is a successful game and sold over 12 million copies when it first released. And they confirmed that they won't release the next game anytime soon. BioWare should be the ones to worry about their future. Whether Anthem is going to succeed, or crash like Andromeda and dissolve into EA. So let me get this straight. For a game that sells well and is recognized as being successful, if it’s disappointing, that’s just my opinion. Emphasis on just. Do I have that right? So if someone posts something about a game that amounts to them expressing disappointment with it, all I have to do to dismiss that post is to point out that it sold well and was a recognized success? And that always works, even in the face of, I dunno, hypocrisy or self-righteous entitlement? Cool! That should be handy! I’ll have to remember that in the future.

Very informative video. I remember before KOTOR and ME1 came out, people were talking about how these games will change the industry and even be GOTY contenders. I remember people saying that all they need to see is the Bioware logo on it and it is a 100% guaranteed buy. What happened? EA happened. And Heath Ledger is the best Joker of all time!!!

If you think the game is a disappointment that's your opinion, but the game speaks for itself and it made a profit as the end result. Fallout 4 has quality and value than Andromeda, and that's says a lot about Bethesda. If you are offended by that, oh well.

What gives me a flicker of hope is, that the studio that makes Anthem isn't the same that gave us the abomination called "Andromeda". This time we have Casey Hudson back and the full attention of Mac (who only jumped into MEA as he was trying to save it from its ultimate demise). Those guys gave us the MET, the games that gave me a fantastic journey. Yes, the ending was disappointing, but the characters, the story, the "feeling" overshine the 1%, that the ending covered. This will be the first time, I'm probably not buying a BW game on the day it's released, but it doesn't mean if the reviews are good, I'm not giving 60 bucks for it. I like looter-shooters, so if it comes out right, I'm not robbing myself of a good experience.

This is simply EA's answer to Destiny, a style of game Bioware never attempted.

This is simply EA's answer to Destiny, a style of game Bioware never attempted. I meant, it can be a good game in general as a Bioware game. If it has at least a TOR-quality story and some fun shooting-mechanics (BW is not really known for the latter - I know - but they sort of nailed ME3's shooting-system), pretty environment and a good longevity with well-balanced RNG system, I may buy it if the reviews and the general consensus say it's exceptional. We'll see.
