Well it's an MMO, so... yeah pretty much. There is no safe exit strategy from that kind of slow death.

The weirdest thing is that Bioware already had one failed MMO and it used the Star Wars license. Who thought they should try again on a brand new IP? Anthem is already dead and it hasn't even had time to be released half finished yet.

Was the Star Wars mmo by Bioware or one of the developers that were temporarily named Bioware.

Ahahahahaha seriously? I was vaguely interested when I saw footage of it last year (or was it the year before?) because it looked like you played Iron Man cruising around on an alien planet. Welp, there goes whatever vague interest I had in the game :shrug:

its bioware austin, formed specifically to make TOR, so it doesn't really count IMO. also I'm guessing that game has actually done really well since it went f2p cause they have released an assload of expansions for it

It's amazing to go from naming other developers you own after Bioware to making GBS threads on them in like five years.

It appears to be heavily styled after Destiny and I doubt that impression is wrong.

Realtalk: The Division was pretty drat fun, and the SP campaign was pretty solid. I grabbed the standard edition for like $10 with a mate and had a blast. That's pretty much all I'm hoping for out of Anthem.

The only company I'd trust to do a FPS MMO that would be any fun in the long run would be Blizzard. If you're going to be stuck with lootboxes, which you will be in Anthem, I'd rather have Blizzards method of handing them out for cosmetic poo poo as opposed to say... Battlefront 2 needing lootboxes to actually progress your character.

It's not "WoW but in space" like TOR was, but it's still a "shared world experience" or whatever they call it. Honestly, the game looks kind of cool, but given everything surrounding it I can't be bothered to muster any interest in it. Even if Anthem is some of the most fun you can have in a game, I feel like Bioware's over-drafted good will, EA's greedy claws, the fact that Destiny already exists, and the over-saturation of other massively multiplayer titles will lead to one extremely flaccid reception and the death of a company.

I love The Division being set in a snowy abandoned New York and I can't imagine how Ubisoft can match the setting in a sequel.

I still think Watch_Dogs would have been way better if it had been set in an permanent rainy night like Arkham Knight.

There is only Destiny, Warframe, The Division and nothing else that currently matters in the market of the live service games. Anthem could find its way to market. You are not the wrong about EA's greedy claws however.

I liked the first one well enough. The physics stuff made some of the platforming pretty frustrating but the game was pretty as heck. Interested in a second one if it improves a ton on the first one.

Not super interested in opening up Origin again. I literally haven't used it since the first Unravel

He shouldn't be worried about anything. EA head honcho Patrick Söderlund is bankrolling Swedish indie games, such as Unraveled A Way Out.

Or because Origin was a bloated, unpleasant piece of trash made even worse by horseshit like Battlelog layered on top. I reinstalled it a while back when I was deluding myself that they may not gently caress up Battlefront 2, and it seemed less awful though, so I guess that's something.

I used to vastly prefer Steam, but the sales being less than mediocre now and Valve's obvious lack of care about the games and their quality on steam has led to me not giving a poo poo which client it is.
After all, you only install the game once, then you just click the icon of the game on your desktop and the other poo poo runs in the background.

And for communictation you either use ingame VOIP or discord, so who really cares wheter the game is on origin, uplay or steam, as long as it is not the windows store.

The PSVR game is "Ghost Giant" made by Zoink! (Fe, Flipping Death, Stick it to the Man). Weird game about messing around with a bunch of Animal Crossing creatures in a Tearaway aesthetic.

Tomorrow is a PS4 game that's getting VR support. I've heard rumblings that it's maybe Spider-Man?
