You missed the point. It was labled and marketed as DEMO but yet acted like a BETA. Demo = Representative of the the final product and in many cases....IS the final product....just condensed. Beta = NOT representative of the final product. Meant to tesd/stress certain systems. Conclusion = Either A, EA lied about it being a bets in a marketing attempt to show players that they are confident in the product by calling it a demo Or B, it was a demo and was representative of the final product. Which one is it folks? And you missed my point, to look on the bright side of it. and you missed the fact that this is the skepticism thread

Again....repeat after me
THIS GAME IS NOT A CLASSIC BIOWARE GAME, you as core Bioware fan who loved games like Mass Effect and Dragon age are, in the context of this game, A SECOND CLASS CITIZEN. This game was never truly meant to appeal to you. This game was never really meant to "very much feel like a Bioware game". You were only fed that line (which a lot of people bought without questioning for reasons to me unknown) because EA wanted to reel the core fanbase in as to mitigate the so called "world of warcraft" effect that was bound to afflict Anthem by using Bioware's name and renown as bait. Much like when Bungie said "you will have a halo-level story" in destiny.
And you know what? I WANT to like this game. I would be quite happy to pay for it and play it
And you know what else? I will provide the following
1: offline mode is given to solo players 2: game is BALANCED for solo players properly 3: replayable campaign is added (notice that in the interviews no one ever even fucking mentions that? 4: romances are added
Give me the 4 above and I will GLADLY pay full price even a year from now for the game...hell I'll even pay 10$ extra as a "special sauce complete edition" bundle bullshit.
Either that, or give me a proper ME game or a MEA expansion so we can go fucking find the quarian ark already.

oh God yes I forgot that Because you know calling your fans ignorant for pointing out the obvious in order to appeal to the sjw crowd was an amazing move too right? EA's marketting : " There are people who are uneducated. And we don't take any flak. we stand up for the cause. You have two choices, either accept it or don't buy the game. I 'm fine with either. " Players: WTF did you do with the franchise full of bullshit, it's the second world war for fuck sake, not fortnite. ! EA : Women are a part of the game, we stand for the cause, you players are uneducated and ignorant. If you don't like it, don't buy it. the gamers : okay. EA : eeeeer. WAIT !
lol yeah...makes me laugh every time

I'm certainly not a fan of EA but I'm more optimistic. I think they learned the hard way that exploitive mtx models, while nice in the short term, are not effective long term when people begin abandoning the brand. They do seem to be pivoting, but we'll see. Be careful when citing stock prices, a lot of the downturn is attributable to an overall downturn across the entire tech sector, not limited to game companies. I think EA is blaming potential poor Anthem sales on potential competition out in the world. I don't know if they just say stuff to try and somehow give an excuse to their shareholders, or if they are genuinely unaware of why people dislike them as much as they do. Uhm...they blamed BF5 poor reception on lack of battle royal

Hm... Since EA stock price tanked 17% the company execs must now placate the cocaine nose jobs in Wall Street to the detriment of EA gamers.
www.thestreet.com/markets/electronic-arts-sinks-after-issuing-disappointing-guidance-14857246?puc=CNBC&cm_ven=CNBCNot sure what that means for Anthem long term in terms of MTXs. Like I keep saying, the intent behind GaaS is the post launch revenue; that is where they make their money. The foundation of the game is built around enticing people into MTXs. I mean, if it didnt....what would be the purpose? Considering how desperate EA may feel, how aggressive/passive will they be with Anthem MTX pricing? problem is...until the model collapses and EA loses big money they will keep monetizing as much as they can That is another reason why Anthem needs to fail in my opinion. Of course, look at the way they took the failure of BF5 and you'll see they only see what they want to see

Actually the Demo did a very bad job to convince the traditional Bioware fans that Anthem will be also a traditional Bioware game they could enjoy. I notice way more Bioware fans disappointed than positive about Anthem, not at all attracted. What in that demo was supposed to show them it was for them too actually ? Not much. It was kinda my point Might be my terrible placement of commas and such. But what I meant with that sentence is, that I found it weird that people who are into the usual bioware games somehow thought that Anthem would be a game for them because it is a game developed by bioware. It has long been obvious that Anthem is in no way the typical Bioware game, that many people have come to love. To fewer people it is also known that Bioware is not the same studio that most started loving either. notice how no Bioware rep is pushing the "this will dry much feel like a traditional Bioware game " anylonger? Gee I wonder why

Also this is more a Sony/PlayStation issue, since I know you can cancel or refund games on Xbox. What? Awesome!
It's all good though. I knew the policy before I pre ordered, I just never imagined I would want to cancel it. I will have some fun with Anthem I would just much rather have waited until it gets a month or two worth of patches after it launches. I didn't feel that way until I played the demos.
yes....refunds on xbox are quite easy

Hilarious. You should look that word up...not one I'd associate with you. Hint, this isn't it. awww resulting to personal insults. Truly the hallmark of a great intellect. I wonder Why are you even allowed here? After all the mods made it clear that this IS the skepticism thread and that posts like the one you made directly attacking the thread and its inhabitants/patrons are not welcome. I'll inquire.

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. awww shall we rename the rest of the forum "I will grovel at the feet of BiowEAre and lap up everything they give me"? No? There is nuance in the rest of the forum? I see

But you are excusing a deceitful practice, voting with your walled is only half the battle 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.
because even if you are not interested in the game scummy practices need to be called out. Any game I am not interested in is not getting my money, say like a fighting game, but I will still praise it for it's good consumer policies OR denounce its anti consumer policies any day if the week

it is not what it was advertised, it is an excuse that could be applied to literally anything that is flawed in the game besides something missing altogether, it is lazy and deceitful AND people defending Bioware and EA, like you, are part of the problem. YOU are the reason why EA thinks they can get away with it. Once more, this game needs to fail as hard as FO76 I am? But I'm not even buying Anthem, lol. but you are excusing a deceitful practice, voting with your walled is only half the battle

and yet it was marketed to me specifically saying that not only I could play it solo but that it would scale and be enjoyable for me and that it would feel like a proper Bioware game. It was marketed dating it would have something for all crowd..not that the single player crowd would be second class citizens... Again This game needs to fail...very VERY publicly and undoubtedly like FO76 Well, you can play solo. It's just not what you think or wish it was. it is not what it was advertised, it is an excuse that could be applied to literally anything that is flawed in the game besides something missing altogether, it is lazy and deceitful AND people defending Bioware and EA, like you, are part of the problem.

I dont want company I want an AI controlled ally who will actually DO something not just banter and point out the obvious I think the game should have a full blown single player mode. Let us decide which mode we want to play. Segregate online from offline characters to avoid save game tampering. that would not allow EA to push the grind on us or the MTX or their FOMO tactics

I dont want company I want an AI controlled ally who will actually DO something not just banter and point out the obvious

Yes it is.
BioWare confirmed solo play, I expect a meaty solo play experience.
Solo play doesnt equate to SP. You just play the MP content solo. That is all. And that is acceptable for you??

The only people this game is going to completely satisfy are the BioWare Faith Militant, or folks whose criticism of games never reaches beyond "I like games! Games are good." Really? We’re back to dividing the world into just two teams? The BFM are the ones bitching about it not being a true Bioware game. And that group is dwarfed by the Anthem Faith Militant, who decided a while ago that the game was perfect and any criticism is just EA hate. A good number of AFM I’ve encountered on Reddit have never played a Bioware game in their lives, or only Mass Effect. I’m not in any of those groups. I’m sold on the game, but it’s clearly not perfect. I didn’t pre-order and I won’t be able to play at launch anyway, so I don’t have any choice but to take a wait and see approach. I think I’ll enjoy the game, but I’m also willing to change my mind and decide that it’s too flawed, but only after I’ve given the full release a fair try. I'm glad you are sold. Hopefully reviews will bomb, player count will drop and the game will fail worse than FO76. Then we can go back to a proper fucking ME game

So, according to the BioWare fanboy, that entitles you to "hater" or "troll" status. oh...ok, sure...I guess I'm a fucking troll for the Biodrones (are we allowed to use that word in these forums or is it banned like in the old bsn?)

Fuck this shit the more I talk about this game the angrier I get I'm sure I saw one of them ash videos and she said if you play the missions solo an AI javelin comes with you. It's a video I watched about 3 weeks ago. Someone has all the ash videos here so it'll be in one of them. it definitely was not in the demos

I don't think Anthem is designed for solo play at all. Of course there will be campaign, but i do believe it will be short add-on just like campaigns for Battlefields. So it's not a BioWare game then. but but...HE said it would feel like a Bioware game and that they had found the magic sauce to mix MMO looter shooters and proper bioware games Ugh... Goddamn pr lies
