I honestly think I would have played Anthem for maybe a month more if its load times were anywhere remotely close to, like, at least sort of being tolerable.

Three minute load screen > appear in map > oh two teammates are already halfway finished with the mission > gets warped to their location, another two minutes of loading > fight a handful leftover enemies > oops the mission is done

Dont worry guys, top minds at Bioware are on top of it. Meetings will be held, ideas will be tested. Then the guy in charge of the redesign quits and another random guy takes over. Then Bioware is going to be on top of it, meetings will be held, ideas will be tested. Repeat loop.
I didnt believe that monkeys would be elected to lead countries so I guess everything is possible, even Anthem 2022: 2.0 - Bioware strikes back

Probably a mix of people who genuinely give a poo poo and want to do their best to make a better version and some people whose other option is find employment elsewhere in the industry because they're that low on the totem pole.

I like Anthem. I never played it, mind you, but I like it because it spawned this thread, and that's a good thing imo.

I also learned a lot about making bread.

So Anthem is good imo. Especially if you never played it.

No, you’re right. The Skull.gif skin came to represent Anthem. When Spark started the meltdown, someone bought them the skull AV. Then in the midst of the meltdown, the incredible World Trade gif, which Spark took to be directly about them thanks to their incredible narcissism.

so since we're supposed to be searching reddit handles in this thread I was wondering if you'd like to answer some questions about your own

for instance, are the half-dozen posts you made on kotakuinaction whining about SJWs because you forgot to log out of your parachute account before making them, or are you just a habitual lurker there?

As an Albertan, I want Turdeau dead!


Turdeau understands economics about as well as dogs understand particle physics. If he really wanted a strong economy, his policy platform wouldn't be "gently caress the oil industry to keep the west down".


You are amazingly sexy! I would please you every way you can imagine!


Now anyone who in any way says that they don’t feel games and politics should mix catches a ban.

A couple of years ago, in a thread in the Off Topic forum, Numei actually came out and said in a post that anyone who isn’t a leftist SJW just plain wasn’t welcome on GAF.


It is, but with the system that Pierre Trudeau have us with the 1982 constitution, criminals have more rights than citizens. They can even vote from prison!

Wheeee posted:

Are you implying that you haven’t heard about Trudeau’s Jihadi Repatriation Project? He’s offered asylum to jihadis who return to Canada. And never forget that he’s the person who made sure Omar Khadr didn’t pay a cent of the judgement against him that he owes to the widow of the medic he murdered.

Who is brainwashed here?

It does. A lot of my problem is celiac disease that wasn't diagnosed til I was 37

Wheeee posted:

To any farkwit American liberals looking to come to Canada because your corrupt criminal candidate lost, be aware that this country is a totalitarian state ruled by the son of the man who brought in a constitution that ranks lower than the sham one that Hugo Chavez gave to Venezuela, and that you will not have most of the rights you have in the US.

If you think the American system is bad because the guy you didn't want to win got the majority of the vote, think long and hard about whether you want to live in a country where an unqualified idiot can get a majority government with less than a third of the popular vote!

quote of a quote so here was the interior:

Peechka on Reddit posted:

I work for Sony in customer service. I am NOT authorized to speak for the company and I am not speaking for the company. Just my personal experience today.

No console has been bricked. None. Zip. Zero.

People are just don’t understand how to turn the PS4 back on and rebuild a database.

There is a real issue and it NEEDS to be fixed. But making false claims doesn’t help anything or anyone. Anthem isn’t going to brick your console. But it shouldn’t be crashing it either and this is 100% preventable and something they can fix. Should not have been launched yet. Bad form on EA and BioWare.

I’ve taken calls all day about this issue. Most people wanting refunds, which we aren’t giving out. A few people got them this morning but then the order came down not to issue them as the issue can be patched. Those that did get them never had one before and the one I dealt with was because they had spent quite a bit in the PSN store over the years and it was seen as “worth it” to keep that person a repeat customer. This is very rare!

I took at least 150-200 calls today and every one of them that claimed to have bricked consoles just didn’t know how to restart their PS4s in safe mode and rebuild the data base.

Again there are no bricked PS4s. This system is very well designed and doesn’t brick. People just toss around the term without understanding it.

I don’t think you should play Anthem right now. I don’t think you should spend money in their store until issues are fixed. I even understand the frustration that people have when they call and are worried about it bricking their systems. It isn’t. It won’t. You’re okay. It will crash. It might even cause data loss. But you won’t have to buy a new Pro.

Editing: Believe me or not. I’ve working in this job for about 7 months. I’m just trying to put peoples minds at easy. Sony wouldn’t like this game stay up if it was really bricking consoles. I still wouldn’t play it. For a lot of reasons and I ain’t letting my kid play it right now. But if you do it ain’t going to break your consoles. You might lose data but your PlayStation is going to be fine. Maybe all you fine boys and girls call EA tomorrow for your refunds. Get them to give yo money back. Better yet next time don’t buy hot garbage?

Editing: I’m not doing this for any reason expect to talk a little sense into this drat fool situation. I mean you got game news sites running with stories that have misleading headlines about consoles being bricked and fools that don’t read anything but the headline. When they do open the story they don’t read past the Second paragraph or don’t understand when it says buried at the end that the bricking is just from one guys post on reddit. No disrespect but this ain’t a reliable source. I just don’t wanna answer the phone every time and hear about how you want a refund because your console isn’t working. Now I’m going to bed. Maybe tomorrow all you people will wake up and realize how stupid all this is and stop letting click bait journalism create mass hysteria. Good night and Jesus loves you.

I honestly kinda want to know wtf is in that guide. The game has stats and stuff, but the degree to which any of it matters is extremely debatable, and all of what little content there is consists of following Waypoints to the next button-mash.

What do you even put in a guide?

:obama:My first car was a stick:obama:
The weirdest part of the combo system imo was the wizard suit's ultimate move. Most attacks either prime or trigger a combo, dealing huge damage, but each of the ultimate's three attacks both primed and triggered a combo in a huge AOE in one click. It looked cool but mechanics-wise seemed totally worthless
