Anthem |OT| GaaS Effect
- Thread starter iFirez
- Start date
I was going off what he himself said directly in his Division 2 beta analysis when he spoke of Anthem's monetisation and the original Division: blind loot boxes (booo!) and pay-only cosmetics (mild grumble).
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The game crashed at the "this is what you got after completing the expedition" after the Stronghold Scarab Egg mine.
It was difficulty and took me like 30-40 min.
I finished it.
But apparently not.
FUCK THIS SHIT.
IM FUCKING OUT.

lol yup it's a bug apparently, some had to do it a few times
Frostbite was a mistake (in non fps games)
yeah yeah you're right
there's a good game here somewhere, i won't say it's bad, but it needs work.
let's hope that EA gives it the time it definitely needs.
to be fair, i don't think many have remained in Bioware since that game, but this game took 6 years and this is what we get
No way this game took 6 years. It certainly got rebooted a few times.
Can confirm they still didn't fix the infinite loading bug. It has happened to me twice now...
Got a combo hit last night before bed, loaded into a on going mission then instantly loaded again, got a hard crash, rejoined mission and it was bugged not letting it progress, quit out and restarted the mission, got hit with no audio bug about 5 mins in...
I can see why people would hate the game if they running into these bugs constantly lol.

I know, but it's like Rare: they went from Banjo and Kazooie to Sea of Thieves. Probably the old staff is gone, but the name of your company is like a brand, Bioware only released garbage after ME3, and that had some problems too.
Or Baldur's Gate 2. Honestly, Bioware is probably a two-hit-wonder in my book. They don't deserve their reputation.
Anyone else having severe Pop-In issues at Fort Tarsis?
I sometimes come out through the door - to the adjacent fountain area - and the whole mini-town filled with stalls isn't there at all, it's just lots of people and white/clear backdrops.

Anthem is way more fun to play than KOTOR. I would argue this is the best gameplay BioWare has produced to date. Unfortunately the rest of the game is a far cry from BioWare's heyday.
I've had it. Seems like there's texture streaming issue which depends on your session. When I played the game early this morning, this issue is very prevalent. Even after I came back after a mission to Fort Tarsis, it'd happen again. After I quit the game and restart after lunch, it's completely gone until now.
Like this, right?
That's what gets me too.
It's clear now, if you really want to fly away in combat it's just so easy - you can fly away from a fight and dodge with near impunity already as it is.
I'd happily take just infinite flight outside of combat, people say "it stops people going where they shouldn't" but no, it' doesn't.
There's a flight ceiling and if people go where they shouldn't it's probably a bug :P
I'd say precisely balancing combat. Being able to fly around or away with no limitations trivializes combat.
I'm in the minority I think but personally I like playing the little metagame of seeing how long I can extend a flight without having to touch down by using waterfalls, skimming water, nosediving...
Anyone getting a persistent glitch where previous mission objectives around Fort Tarsis don't disappear even when they're completed? I keep getting the blue arrow pointing me to NPCs even after I've talked to them...
You don't get much. The XP system rewards doing challenges/medals so any XP from enemy kills seems (and is) insignificant by comparison.
I was under the impression from Kotaku/Jason Schrier that BioWare (like most studios these days) Montreal/Austin operated under a Ubisoft-style model of satellite support studios. Each of the studios handles the pre-production/general direction of the project, but all three studios end up working as support studios to push the project through during production. Especially Andromeda, which didn't "exist" in its present form until Montreal started working on it after shipping Inquisition. But I could be misremembering his stuff.
He's just trying to play both sides of the idiotic Div 2/Anthem fanboy wars. The Division 1 had an incredibly mild in-game monetization system (quite similar to Anthem, eventually fleshed out with lots of fun little challenges) and Div2 is going full GaaS/Rainbow Six Siege model (free Y1 content to all, season pass gets early access), which I think is great.

Yeah exactly like that. I've had it before but last night it was frequent enough to become a severe issue.
I hope when I hop on later today it's resolved, definitely seems like a texture streaming issue.
What? Other than the Epic store, what's wrong with Metro? And Division 2 isn't even out yet.
I almost wished they'd drop the meaningless dialogue choices. Most NPC dialogue is also pretty boring imo.
I'd say its an elegantly designed restriction on open world traversal, no need for those "out of bounds" messages or invisible ceilings.
o wait
That's it for me. I have come to the moment where I have to do the tombs stuff. I am absolutely not doing that. Well, good thing I only got 1 month of Premier.
Tried to everything else, contracts, stronghold before doing the tombsa, but still got lots of tombs challenges to do.

I always imagined more people would have early access/trial.
Man, not getting drops from enemies while downed is such a kick to the nuts.
Died at the last second against a titan from some seemingly invisible damage source.
He pops and I see everyone do the post loot rush towards the corpse.
Oddly, I was auto-revived the instant after the boss died. Haven't experienced that before.

That's a bit hyperbolic, basically they are saying try our other activities and missions and come back later, it's not a big deal really.
Could be just me getting things wrong. I was away this entire weekend, and I was so psyched reading the various threads seeing you guys so excited for all the new stuff coming out on Friday.
Reading the impressions in the threads was kind of a bummer, but maybe I got the wrong impression about Metro. I'll read some more comments and watch some reviews.
I mean it's not good design at all. But still it's basically - play the game. If you enjoy the game I can see the challenge being an annoyance but won't be that hard if you enjoy the combat and exploration.
Heresey.
Baldur's Gate 2, Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect 2 are timeless masterpieces widely recognized as some of the best RPG/games of all time. This kind of quality is rare for any developer. They still have many other titles that if don't reach that level, hit the next best one.
But that Bioware seems to be gone now.
Metro seemingly reviewed well. I've half the mind to grab it to hold me over until Division 2 lol.
Absolutely, I found it very poor design, but definitively not a reason to stop playing the game if you otherwise enjoy it which I think is the real issue, people not liking the base game.
Yes but I think there are other factors that weighted much heavier on your decision not to keep playing, I don't think you were having fun before that point, am I right?
Wait, so there is still a day one patch for the 22nd? Why would you let it out a week early and sour a lot of people on it? The same thing happened with BFV.
Builds and patches have to go through Cert, it's a process and it takes time.
My guess is that the patch simply is not ready for release or they would have patched it already, so not intentional.
