I'm just too much for the Bioware fanbase. I'm one of those people who can't be put in to the category of "Hater" or "Fanboy" so they tend to struggle with me.

But I do tend to be sarcastic as all hell and my kids love it. My wife, not so much...

Your right but they knew from the beginning that we weren't and never said anything about it. Hell, when Jason Schreier reported it "Superfans" on this forum mocked him on twitter and when he busted them out about it they got all butthurt because he was right about the DLC. Would it have been that bad just to say that it wasn't getting any DLC instead of leading fans on?

And yes BioWare can't always just be the Mass Effect and Dragon Age studio. Always good to diversify things.

oh totally!

People were hype about the new IP, until it was revealed to not be a single player RPG. Something we've come to expect from Bioware, something we've come to expect Bioware to be a decent, if not great producer of.

I remember when people were speculating that the new IP would be a modern age superhero RPG. Now THAT would have been fun.

I keep saying this is not BioWares first non-RPG anyway.

I would love the fans of Shattered Steel or MDK 2 to come out the woodwork...

I'm actually quite hyped for Anthem, but it would be disingenuous of me to say I didn't have concerns about how it might impact future DA/ME iterations. I'm back and forth on whether massive success or massive failure would have the most ramifications for those other IP's. I actually believe what Mike is saying, however he doesn't have absolute authority...the parent company does. At this point it is immaterial, all we can do is wait and see how it pans out.

Never knew those were BW games. I used to read PC Gamer and remember hearing about Shattered Steel but $$ kept my from buying a lot of the cool games I used to read about. SS was among them but even then I didn't know it was BW.

My issue with Anthem does include lack of RPG but that's only one problem. I hate MP. Absolutely hate having to play with others. It has no appeal to me. Never mind that I've had crappy internet.

At this point we’re taking into account so many decisions that you’ve made as a player and reflecting a lot of that stuff. It’s not even in any way like the traditional game endings, where you can say how many endings there are or whether you got ending A, B, or C.

It’s more like there are some really obvious things that are different and then lots and lots of smaller things, lots of things about who lives and who dies, civilizations that rose and fell, all the way down to individual characters. That becomes the state of where you left your galaxy. The endings have a lot more sophistication and variety in them. It would be interesting to see if somebody could put together a chart for that. Even with Mass Effect 2’s...

If there's anyone that is expecting a new Mass Effect game, or still wants it whenever that happens, it's better to believe in him claiming that ME ain't dead, despite all the evidence pointing the contrary, and wait, wait a lot. That's the best anyone can do right now.

I can accept that Anthem is not for me. I am also not obligated to buy it and support it.

I hope it does well so that Bioware is still around to make the games I like but I also hope it doesn't do too well because then EA might decide that is all bioware should work on.

Yeah I'm kind of on this fence too I don't care at all for Anthem it looks good an fun but I don't really care because I don't do MP or MMO's but at the same time I don't want EA pulling the plug on Bioware by it failing but at the same time I don't want EA converting Bioware into a massive MMO studio because it did a little too well. As I want them to continue to produce games like ME and DA because they are the series at leas t for me that have put Bioware on my map.

I remember when people were speculating that the new IP would be a modern age superhero RPG. Now THAT would have been fun.

I'd prefer not, given the utter saturation of all things superhero-related which has dominated mainstream entertainment for the last few years. It's alienated me from cinema, and I'd end up alienated from games if they all went the same way (Brandon Sanderson's Reckoners series excepted, that would be awesome).

If I were given the choice I'd plump for some kind of film noir-based detective RPG, which downplayed gun battles and supercharged action in favour of a tightly-plotted story that focused on detective work, narrative, exploration and discovery.... but that's just me. There's probably not much call for games of that nature.
