I skipped my classes today because I was lazy and slept like shit last night. I browsed my playstation library and I'm always on the edge of resuming my second playthrough of Andromeda... buuuut, because my hype is on Anthem I actually went and got The Taken King for cheap today. I quit Destiny when they announced the second expansion. I hate this GaaS model not for being live-service or for being like MMOs or even for MTX shit, I dislike it because of how Activision defined it, making you buy a 60 dollar game and then dangling the carrot with a couple of 15-40 dollar DLCs just few months after the vanilla release and then they make sequels instead of just building on one product with more seasonal updates and more content in the starting package. All said and done thought I totally liked playing Destiny back when it shipped -- there just wasn't enough in it and I refused to "buy" to remedy that issue, but I actually heard the end result of D1 was pretty good with all the expansions. I just hope Anthem can be one massive feat and then this stupid "10 year" trend that EA wants a slice of doesn't involve "Anthem 2" aka hitting the reset button just when the game started getting good.

I just hope Anthem can be one massive feat and then this stupid "10 year" trend that EA wants a slice of doesn't involve "Anthem 2" aka hitting the reset button just when the game started getting good. It's possible destiny "2" became a thing because they needed to make core changes to the game that required an engine overhaul and such, and since they were doing that, "destiny 2" became a thing. Off the top of my head they went to static weapons for D2, they were finally able to maximize the graphics no longer being held to catering to multiple generations, and they setup this hybrid server setup. Some of these wouldn't have been possible without abandoning last generation, I'm not sure if an engine upgrade is "needed" or not but that could be part of it. All I know is they had to reboot from D1 as it had so many issues that they may as well start fresh, but it seems they only made things worse in doing so as they ignored a lot of feedback, but not only did they do that, they did leave out much of what D1 was doing good at later on in its cycle. I was UPSET to see D2s launch be just as barebones as vanilla D1, pretty pathetic for a "sequel" to me. I've no doubt D2 may end the same way, but I'm not waiting 3-4 years again. Same will be the case for Anthem, Bioware either gets it correct from the start or I ditch it for something better.

That's unfortunately factuately incorrect. Their whole 10-year contract got posted ij pdf format on Kotaku and i read it. They had 3 games or so planned in it and besidea we just saw Division 2 announced. It is a monetization model for this whole "10 year service" idea.

Can you please keep the Destiny whining out of the Anthem hype train? And for clarity: D1 and D2 is spelled out Diablo I and II respectively if you are to be correct.

It's hard for me to stay into online games. I've tried World of Warcraft, Division, Destiny, FFXI, ECT. Warcraft - 2 months (No IRL friends) FFXI - About 4 months (Quit after only IRL friend quit) Destiny - (Quit after getting everything I wanted with my friends then moved on to the Division with my friends.) Maybe a year? Division - I hated the end game.. My friends dropped out after maybe two months. I developed a little circle of online friends and we played every day together. This is the first online game where I kept playing after my IRL friends quit. Our little group slowly faded and so did I before the second DLC. I paid the season pass gold edition but I didn't even play the last 2. Lol. The Darkzone was harsh. I can see buying Anthem but I won't have any IRL friends playing nor a group to play with unless they have some kind of social network. Or people from here. I know I sound like a downer but I'm actually looking forward to it.

This game should be good for shorter bursts of on-line co-ops unlike an EU4 multiplayer which is a godsend for those of us with IRL demanding attention.

I'm really looking forward to seeing where this game is going. I'm a die hard Destiny pve player and if they can keep the balancing of gear and weapons separated between pve and pvp, then I and the members of the clan I'm in will be making the switch. Actually wouldn't be suprised to see alot of the core disgruntled pve players making the switch.

Hm... My approach is to wait for the early adopters' experience. Thereby I can save myself money and aggravation if it's not to my liking.

This does not look to be the type of game I would want to play but there seem to be so few games coming out that interest me, I am guessing, because this is Bioware, I will give it a try. I prefer straight up RPGs like DA and TW or action adventure games like Uncharted or the new Tomb Raider. This seems to be neither type..... but hopefully a bit of a hybrid of both????

Hm...
If I recall correctly, there was a Mass Effect: Andromeda hype in the Andromeda forum. Look how that game turned out. My expectations for that game was low... After the patches it wasn't too bad a game ( except for the mediocre story).
Anthem may turn out to have the right number of aliens, but like the Andromeda Vaults, Anthem's search / quests for alien tech may be another same old, same old with little innovation between the quests.... like reused assets (ie: similar caves / ruins ).
It's a co-op shooter first, so the game will become stale in no time ( as in MEAMP did for me).
E3 EA Play may bring us a surprise.... though again, I say that trailers and the actual game are distant cousins.

The Anthem hype train is clearly unstoppable 😛 ANTHEM WILL MAKE MORE MONEY IN ITS FIRST YEAR THAN XXX WILL/DID IN ITS FIRST YEAR. There, you can’t say I’m not doing enough to hype the game. For XXX I originally had Cyberpunk 2077, but since that might set the internet on fire, you can use DAI instead.

Cyberpunk 2 is so much more appreciated now that Anthem is a live-service game. Honestly, I'm gonna play the fuck out of both because they cater to different needs.
Btw, what would you guys most like to see in Anthem? Personally I'd love player to player romances for the sake of the spectacle and the media going nuts over it.

If I could somehow convince my wife to embrace Anthem that would be cool. So far I have only managed to make her embrace eternity. I want mysteries to explore. Some that I can go about all by my lonesome but others that is just plain impossible without company. Combat should be evolved from MEA. I really love the no pause, 3D combat style of that game. End game?
