The "Anthem: we told you so, you jackasses, but you did not believe us and called us all names in the book but who the fuck is laughing now, assholes" thread? No, that was the MEA thread. I cared about Mass Effect. I don't even care about Anthem, so it's not personal for me like that. MEA was very "personal" for me, which isn't a good thing but it is the truth. lol I wish Evil Chris was around back then That bastard owes me an apology

Do we need this thread anymore? I'm not asking for a closure, not at all. Maybe a renaming? I think we have gone past skepticism at this point; our skepticism has been well and fully confirmed. I don't want to be a dick and make it the Anthem I told ya so fanboy Thread, but... What a clusterfuck The "Anthem: we told you so, you jackasses, but you did not believe us and called us all names in the book but who the fuck is laughing now, assholes" thread?

You know, if BioWare made this game single player only and devoted more time to NPC pathing, bug fixes, and mission/enemy design. This would have been an alright game.
you know I said that prior to release I was basically shunned

its because Bioware tried to move further and further away from hand crafting and more towards automation and "make your own fun" kinda bullshit if you ask me Also..MEA had quite decent builds and customization I enjoyed building my perfect vanguard build with infinite ammo hard hitting/slow fire rate precision weapons My only complaints with MEA builds is weapon balance needed some work, the rarity system sucked, they limited your research points too much and the 3 active power limit. But yes MEA is maybe their best game in that regard. yes the 3 power limit with no power wheel was idiotic But even so....my precision shock trooper vanguard (as I called it) was a blast. Next to no cooldown on any ability. Charge, nova and Backlash. PAW Black widow and crusader all of then with vintage heat sinks and penetration mods and asari sword. Most headshots are 1 hit kills. All mods geared for faster power cooldown and maximized damage Insanely mobile with mid and long range firepower and hard hitting melee with shield restoring per melee kill (plus normal kill) bonus Loved it But it plays soooooo much differently from other builts

oh no...there are more Like Last round of the magazine increases accuracy for a few seconds or some shit So by the time you reload POOF bonus gone Yeah I saw that one and guessed they have a system for last round+ random mod. Where it should be last round+random mod from this curated list that works. But 0% damage is literally a display bug they talked about previously. Though it could be a retarded design choice and the press dude just didn’t know that or didn’t fess up to something that dumb. its because Bioware tried to move further and further away from hand crafting and more towards automation and "make your own fun" kinda bullshit if you ask me Also..MEA had quite decent builds and customization I enjoyed building my perfect vanguard build with infinite ammo hard hitting/slow fire rate precision weapons

omg Did I just see in a video that a fucking weapon dropped with a 0% added fire damage for 0 seconds? WTF is that all about???? It may be a bug. During one of their press releases a weapon was showing that age they explained its stats were different but they had a display bug. If it is a bug and not just a pants on head mod you’d think they’d fix it by now. oh no...there are more Like Last round of the magazine increases accuracy for a few seconds or some shit So by the time you reload POOF bonus gone

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that Andromeda at launch had more weapon variety, more armor, more skills and more builds than Anthem? You mean Anthem has builds? Lol. As scary as it sounds - yes. MEA had better combat flexibility and deeper customization. And god knows that MEA is not famous for its diversity. From what I can tell, Anthem 'customization' is all about random craft\drop. The itemization is laughable. Crafted assault rifle providing shotgun bonuses? Really, BW?.. They should've kept the skill trees. Even limited ME3MP skill trees could make great gameplay difference. omg Did I just see in a video that a fucking weapon dropped with a 0% added fire damage for 0 seconds? WTF is that all about????

ironic because Anthem is a looter shooter that us supposed to hinge on weapon variety ...and customization It has plenty of variety. Sometimes my marksman rifles have +shotgun ammo, and sometimes they have +harvest bonus. lol...sad

I kinda can't believe the shitty weapon variety in Anthem, the more I think about it the most I'm just flabbergasted that there are only 3-4 weapons of each type and only what like 12 types. ironic because Anthem is a looter shooter that us supposed to hinge on weapon variety ...and customization

Hopefully they will see that following opinions like yours only leaded to failures and the games you hate the most are actually the best and most awarded. Hopefully they learn to just ignore people who are going to perpetually throw temper tantrums against them and their games like you. depends on what he means by "make it like andromeda"

Soooo When do we start seeing heads roll? The bean-counters at EA expects 6 million copies sold in the first 6 weeks since launch, they probably want to see whether that is likely to happen first before any decisions starts being made.
first time I am rooting for the bean counters

Given the downfall of Anthem, so far, I have become really nervous about DA4. BW has to continue to use the frostbite engine, they have an awful writer; who for some reason only likes to write "corky" stories with sarcastic characters, and DA4 is also rumored to be another live service game. I don't see DA4 going well after this. Corky?

This guy nails it. This is the reason I don't buy live service games. You're basically buying into a beta tester position, until the game fixes it's problems a year down the line. Yep, games as a service don't interest me in the least. Neither do loot shooters. you are also buying into a giant skinner box No thanks

As it currently stands, Anthem's metacritic score is closer to Fallout 76 than it is to Andromeda. One German store has already cut the price of Anthem from 69 to 39 EUR... at launch!!!
I wonder if retailers are scarred by FO76 now that reviews aren't looking too good. Worried it will be a similar disaster.
Please note that I DO NOT think Anthem is anywhere near as bad a product. Hard to beat Bethesda's clusterfuck. Everything about FO76 continues to be comically absurd. But shit... if Anthem makes Andromeda look good, that's really sad. I said it before...I want FO76 level of failure for Anthem
