If only it were that simple. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/CeRUIfXurYhaBmWjMBkt.png) How hard can it be, tho? it is not... for how I'm replaying andromeda, and compared to anthem it's a masterpiece Also, I finally got my ryder's looks just right (and I somehow ran out of save space and had to delete a whole profile o.o )

EAnthem is getting lower scores than a trainwreck piece of shit that was EAndromeda. Now EAndromeda's flop caused Mass Effect to be suspended and the studio that made it was shut down. Let that sink in. BioWhore is done. gasp Hate speech

why? If it reviewed in the 90ies we would have an accolade trailer by now At the risk of repeating myself. It depends on what one finds funny. I don't find it funny, just dumb. That's all there is to it. Nothing mysterious or arcane about that. I don't No dumber than Bioware's marketing

The initial statement about Breath of the Wild was in an interview. His recant was in this twitter thread: Here's the first thing he says in the tweet recant: First off, the question was not “is MEA secretly a great game and did mean Nintendo make us fail?” MEA is a deeply flawed game. Especially at launch ok...points for honesty

I guess it is still fresh in our memory that Mark Darrah, Executive Producer, blamed other games for Andromeda's critical "fiasco", If you are going to keep that fresh, you should also keep it fresh that he recanted that statement. He never should have said it in the first place, true, but he did take it back. you have that tweet?

This one was my favorite He says EXACTLY what I have been saying it would happen months ago when nearly all the users on this board called me crazy and told me basically to shut up or fuck off including the mods
I just can't help but to feel vindicated Now, hopefully in 6 weeks the game will not have performed to the standard that EA wanted it to. That way hopefully EA will allow Bioware to resume working on the game they generally do well without pushing the "live bullshit"...ahem.."live services" crap on them This you conceding to conformation bias? no, just a prediction I made that was highly criticized that turned out to be correct

failure is part of learning IF EA learns the right thing and leaves Bioware alone in doing it's games we are golden and the failure served it's purpose. If they did not then....well Bioware is going the way of old yeller
EA controls the purse strings. Senior execs, no doubt, want to keep their exorbitant salaries. This means placing investors interests first, at the expense of players' wishes.
Since 2010, EA's policy is to have only online games with a constant revenue stream. All future Bio games must include in their core design, a method for constant revenue stream. Once is was Loot Boxes. Now it's vanity items with an internal game economy of loot drops with low value and crafting requirements through the roof. The last two may change.
But, for the moment, as a Mod said, "it is what it is".
no. WE hold the purse strings. Once there has been enough hemorrhaging because people are not buying their games SPECIFICALLY because of these idiotic , required, infinite revenue streams EA will have to adapt. In an age where information travels as fast as it does now missteps have near immediate consequences as Activision/Blizzard and now EA/Bioware has learned the hard way. Once they realize that OTHER companies are raking in the dough by generating good will they will go on and try to get in on the action. Suddenly EA will try its very best to be "all for the gamers " or some such shit

I wonder how this forum in general feels about username pings out of the blue for pointing and laughing purposes? I remember azarhal desperately arguing with me that this game wasn't going to be a Destiny/Division genre game. The "I told you so" doesn't feel so good when it's about a game failure. I would have preffered to be wrong and Anthem to be an amazing product. But I sort of paid just 8 bucks for it with Premier and got my money worth on loads of other library games too. It's sad that this game alone will soon cost less than 8 rupees. I notice that the majority of Anthem's white knights are quiet lately. You can claim they play the game, but judging by their gear rating they don't really play it much. failure is part of learning IF EA learns the right thing and leaves Bioware alone in doing it's games we are golden and the failure served it's purpose. If they did not then....well Bioware is going the way of old yeller

Eurogamer reports on the UK charts, only counting boxed games (no digital downloads). Others use low Twitch viewers as an indication that sales are going bad, or big discounts in various countries. EA expects Anthem to sell 6 million in it's first quarter. It's all guessing, because EA doesn't like talking about sales figures. If Anthem does bad, I'm pretty sure they'll keep a team on it like they did with Andromeda's multiplayer. They will still be able to make big money on microtransactions, even from one or two million players. I do worry about BioWare, Dragon Age and Mass Effect... 6 million in 6 weeks if I remember correctly

as I said before This stemmed by the fact that EA wanted a destiny clone and used Bioware as a mean to fend off the WoW Effect associated with an MMO style game. Since it is easier than starting from scratch EA made Bioware convert Anthem (which was already in production) to that idea. The marketing was engineered to reel in the Bioware core fanbase at first by lying through their teeth and then tell the truth in bits and pieces to "turn the heat of the water up slowly so the frog does not jump out" Again, no proof but theory fits evidence i dont think your theory fits any of the evidence. All evidence points to the game at its core was bioware's initiative. EA may have its paws here and there, like the mandate to use frostebite or varoius iteration of monetizing schemes, but it doesnt look like this game would have been made unless Bioware was fully committed to it themselves. never said anthem was NOT a bioware initiative, read what I said. EA used a game already in production (anthem) and told the creators to make it fit the looter shooter genere (hence the retooling-reboot)

Do you think Bioware got overconfident? Anthem begin when they are high off the success of ME, where they transitioned from RPG to what essentially is a shooter game. Its natural for them to feel that since they conquered one genere after another, they can do anything. I think they bought into their own hype that they can do no wrong, thats how MEA happened, where they setout to do a ridiculous no man sky type game before crashing and burning. Now the same thing with anthem. To a lesser extent, this happened to DAI. Overly confident leading to overly ambitious leading to bad result. I think two things: 1) This game underwent a massive reboot and retooling, probably no more than 2 years ago. It would explain the slapped together nature of everything, how it feels like a few concepts cobbled together. 2) BW was confident that the traversal and combat would be sufficient to tide people over for a month or two and give them time to actually release the planned content by April. Unfortunately the astonishment wears off after only a few days of playing. as I said before This stemmed by the fact that EA wanted a destiny clone and used Bioware as a mean to fend off the WoW Effect associated with an MMO style game.

myself and the vast majority of reviewers, content creators and players Yeah, keep white knighting and resorting to personal insults, now that is amusing Once the sales reports pour in 6 weeks from now and heads start rolling it will be even more amusing Well you are nobody, the "majority" of nobodies online account like 3000 other nobodies at most, and content creator's livelihoods live and die off the perception of the nobodies. And I'm not insulting. You called yourself an idiot fearmonger. I merely made sure to point out that you shouldn't be confused about the status of that situation. The game has quite a few flaws.. at this point deserves a 6 maybe... a 5 perhaps. I don't think it's perfect. But reading the reviews of most of these nobodies talking about EA and microtransactions (agenda), launch bugs, and QoL issues making the game deserve a ZERO doesn't really inspire confidence in their worthless opinions. \ I think general perception has been lukewarm, not terrible. And this is a live service so hopefully things will improve to turn things around. If not, then not. I will stay here amused. Feel free to spend your time trashtalking the game. Worthless opinions stem from people who spend their time on what they consider worthless. I did that for 2 minutes and I already feel a little weird. Bahahaha. I mean read my avatar note. I think gamer culture is pathetic, and you're the disease. *shrug* Feel free to flail some more. I'll go actually enjoy video games rather than whine about them. lol AWWW so you are that kind of troll... Remain amused then, enjoy. Your opinion as been recorded and discarded due to being complete, irrelevant garbage. Your attitude does not lead to improvement of the medium you like but merely to more shit being shoveled in our faces. Btw I'm posting during load times while playing Andromeda, feel free to confirm that looking at my gamertag activity, I enjoy my games as much as the next person but I also enjoy when morons prove me right

People should realize by now that anything a dev and/or publisher says about a game pre-launch is likely complete BS. no, more like you don't like it because you don't understand it

why? A lot of people took a lot of enjoyment in telling the skeptics that we were idiots fearmongers But we called it, we were right....and failure might help at this point But you are idiot fearmongerers so have no fear about that front. That you call it a failure when it's less than a week old is hilarious. This is a perfect example of why the relationship between developers and consumers in the video game industry needs to change, because on-contact reviews don't work anymore. myself and the vast majority of reviewers, content creators and players Yeah, keep white knighting and resorting to personal insults, now that is amusing Once the sales reports pour in 6 weeks from now and heads start rolling it will be even more amusing

so compare this game to other looter shooters. Less loot, less INTERESTING LOOT (as weapons are kinda pointless, less content, technically inferior in its mechanics (in terms of loading screens), some of the worst AI out there, worse UI and progression system. So basically even if we compared it to the division, Destiny 2 and borderlands it is STILL an inferior product Now...look at Yong yea's review and you will see that it was also marketed as a PROPER bioware game Weapons aren't pointless, once you get to GM your MW weapons will do 10x damage you're powers do. yeah...at the endgame....uhmm no thanks

Can anyone review this game from a standpoint that doesn’t involve comparisons to BioWare’s past games? All I see is why this doesn’t live up to the company’s legacy. What about how the game is in itself? Is there a review I can look at from that standpoint? so compare this game to other looter shooters. Less loot, less INTERESTING LOOT (as weapons are kinda pointless, less content, technically inferior in its mechanics (in terms of loading screens), some of the worst AI out there, worse UI and progression system.

I haven't bought Anthem, as I'm not really into multiplayer and I got the distinct impression that its appeal might be limited for someone like myself who's primarily drawn to Bioware games for the stories, characters, worldbuilding, and dialogue choices. So...is there any reason I *shouldn't* follow the advice of the many lukewarm reviews and file this one under "check back and see if they've improved it later"? depends Are you a masochist? If not then...no, no reason

More than tackling specific things, what I think the game needs right now is an honest sit down with Bioware and for them to just acknowledge the overall state of the game. You did not like anthem because you did not understand it and lacked context, we will provide more context
