Zakmonster posted:As it is, nothing in this game right now is unfixable Pretty much. I refused to touch Destiny 2 until a year passed and it became good. Same plan for Anthem. I'll check back in a year once sufficient quality of life and content has been patched in and consider buying at that point.

An observation: If I was playing a video game and really enjoying it I wouldn't be defending it on any particular internet forum because I'd be busy playing the game. How much are these vocal defenders of Bioware's e-honor actually enjoying their product? It's cool people who enjoy Anthem, you do you. Your money and all that.

BTW most reviews gave awesome reviews to Destiny 2 when it first came out, and that game was a turd for an entire year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2af4gcS-b9Y Guess we'll see what happens when there isn't a SW license to prop up the customer base.

A Buff Gay Dude posted:BioWare shidded and farded and the fanboys cammed their pants The diehard fans that remain are obsessed over the next Dragon Age waifu/hudbando simulator and are desperate for Bioware to succeed to make that happen. Anthem might be a good game in a year or two. If they rework stuff extensively and oh wait they didn't do any of that with Andromeda except cancel all the future content.

Calihan posted:From what I've seen, those types are actually riding the hate boner as much as anyone. An awful lot of people are legitimately mad at the game being something that isn't a Mass Effect or Dragon Age title. Interesting, haven't kept up on the fans for those games. Mass Effect is well and truly dead as a franchise after the last effort. The market has spoken. Any talk to the contrary is for the benefit of investors. Dragon Age I could see as they haven't killed that one off yet. Mind you since EA has killed off or cancelled every single player game in their lineup I imagine the fans are getting a bit stressed over that one.

Dapper_Swindler posted:what makes me sad is this game had five years of development. i am sure we will learn it spent most of that in 'OH GOD WHAT DO WE DO' mode but holy poo poo. from the beta and from what i heard, the core stuff could have been fun/great but everything else is either crap or janky. that being said if they keep patching and remaking stuff, it could end up a good/fun game, but who knows if EA won't just pull the plug. Yeah it wouldn't be surprising to learn there was meant to be a strong procedural element to the over world like how ME:A was supposed to generate planets on the fly. Would explain the singular biome. Then of course the money runs dry and out the door it goes.

You know I've given this some thought. Everyone is comparing Anthem to Destiny 1/2, Borderlands 2 and Warframe. All of those people are very wrong. Anthem is actually a modern version of Defiance the MMO by (now defunct) Trion Worlds. Think about it. You have a single large overland map with very little variety. 4 classes none of which really change the player experience or matter. A bunch of RNG drop rolled guns that re-use the same small pool of assets & textures. A promotional TV show that lasted 2 seasons (way more than a single Neil Blomkamp short film tie-in).

Yeah $15 seems a reasonable price for the content on offer in this product. I mean to buy, not a one month recurring sub. Hah just remembered a bit I missed. Defiance launched with 5 dungeons compared to the 3 in Anthem.

Wow this game is amazing, better than every competitor on the market. The player base loves it and you should absolutely invest multiple millions of dollars in the future of Bioware & EA. Whoops how did this get here https://www.ea.com/game-changers *knocking starts on the boardroom door* In fact we're extremely confident in our financial future and revenue streams in the face of anti-loot box legislation and a slew of cancelled projects. *knocking on boardroom door intensifies, muffled shouting* DancingShade fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Feb 24, 2019 |

I like ragging on EA, zombie Bioware and the partially completed games they release. I'll continue to do so. That doesn't stop me really liking the short film Neil Blomkamp made for this particular product, it's a highly motivational and inspirational piece of cinematic art. Hopefully this product does a Destiny 2 and fully turns around in 12 months. I won't touch it now but I'm willing to reconsider spending dollarydoos down the line.

Hammerstein posted:I don't understand game design. Anthem has the same loot issues I have seen in the early versions of Diablo 3, The Division, Destiny 2.....it's as if game designers never learn from the mistakes other studios made, even when said mistakes are well documented. I think we should put the engine in the season pass and sell randomly colored doors in the cash shop. Players without a season pass are welcome to grind out a working car engine by completing driving missions using only Flintstones pedals and doors are pretty optional so they should be okay with paying extra for those.

Skippy McPants posted:Yeah, this feels a lot like a game that way over-scoped and then was forced to make cuts like mad once the finish line loomed. What's crazy is that's the exact same thing that tanked ME:A. Granted, by the time that came out it was already far too late for Anthem to learn its lessons, but it's still weird that Bioware's had two games in a row like this. The best part is that Andromeda was the "B-Team" and Anthem was the "A-Team". Turns out there was no functional difference. I'm sure given a shitload of time and leniency from above it could be fixed but this is EA we're talking about. I'm quite happy to be proven wrong but history is a teacher we must all listen to. Oh don't mind me. That's just a single tear for Bullfrog in memory of Magic Carpet, Syndicate Wars and Populous.

Skippy McPants posted:I mean, EA gonna EA, but with ME:A BW Montreal wasted literal years of development time chasing the proc-gen dragon. I dunno if a similar problem occurred here, but it sure feels that way and if it did then it almost sounds like Bioware almost had too much freedom. I'm all for taking risks, but tanking multiple Triple-A products by trying to shoot the moon is not a good look. It speaks of a management issue. Maybe the same manager or clique given the (from an outsider perceptive) similarities. Whether that's a resolvable issue is a question for the philosophers.

Tei posted:I am not game designer, but I find the map of Anthem a interesting case study. Is relativelly varied, natural, interesting looking, pretty, lush with vegetation and even some unique models but is boring and uninspired like a corridor in a hospital. I played a lot of Minecraft at alpha, and I remember hills, valleys,... Anthem make a good argument that a good procedural generation can be better than something a competent artist has made. And is driving me crazy the why. I want to know what is making this, where exactly lies the “soul” of a game map, and why/how Anthem map dont have it. I must understand this. Designed by committee.
