This thread is still on the same page I posted last month. Holy fuck.
I wonder if EA'll say anything in detail about Anthem during E3.
Pretty sure they said the won't. But there will be a stream from the devs at the day if I remember correctly.
Thanks. Pretty bold move by EA the "ongoing GaaS" status. This'll most likely be the penultimate nail in its coffin.
I think it's a bit early to write cataclysms off considering it's a work in progress and far from complete, either graphically or mechanically. I haven't seen much in the way of reporting on the PTS. AtG reddit says it's a total failure and catastrophe, but they were always going to say that. Low sodium reddit says it's got some cool new areas, features, puzzles and enemies and after it's complete will be well worth playing, but they were always going to say that.
I'm just waiting on the Ryan Central video on whether to hope it'll be any good because he's like the only guy making Anthem content who is pretty objective.

That's basically what I was getting at, though you're right that balanced is a better word choice to describe it.Haven't really been following the game much since the middle of April (mainly just seeing all of the bigger articles about it), but the state of the game a few weeks after launch seemed to get to even Ryan. He definitely wasn't gushing positively hard like some questionable channels, or blasting it into oblivion, but I'm not sure he's all that objective. I think if nothing else, he's the most balanced I've seen when it comes to trying to simply state facts, with what he likes, dislikes and hopes to see.
Yes, this is an issue but not insurmountable - if the actual cataclysm release gets some good press then a lot of players would be willing to give it a try at least.Player numbers are way way down though. How can the game function as intended if it is multiplayer at its base and there is no base.
EA surprised Anthem fans by not giving the game an official spot on its EA Play presentation, but it did squeeze some time for the game between its FIFA and Madden NFL spots. Lead producer Ben Irving appeared for a short interview and recognized the game's weak spots while committing to continuing to work on it.
Irving said that right now the team is working with influencers and getting feedback from players about recent events and the Cataclysm. The idea right now is to gather impressions from the test server and use that to shape content going forward.
"Anthem does have a future. A very bright future, we hope," Irving said. "We've learned a lot these last few months, we really want to make the game better, we believe Anthem can be a really amazing game. We know we have some work to do, we just want to work with the community and build it together and make it the game that everyone wants it to be."
Yeah I see them having pretty much no chance of saving this. Even if they fix it and have new content this fall and next spring are loaded with new releases and then new consoles are launching next fall so it would get lost in the shuffle outside of its remaining base. Even in the coop loot game space there's Monster Hunter World DLC soon and Borderlands 3 and Destiny 2 DLC (and base game going F2P) in September.
I'm guessing the cataclysm will come out and EA will pull the plug on funding any more major updates.
Hmm, although unlikely, I'm hoping there's a chance they rehaul the game (whatever they can do realistically) and relaunch it with the next gen consoles.
If it was any publisher other than EA I'd have more hope. I only see it happening if BioWare can get away for EA like Bungie did from Activision. EA only cares about games that bring in big, continuous revenue streams and this doesn't seem like a game that's likely to do that even with a reworking.
Looter service games need paid expansions unless they're F2P like Warframe where they can get away with pay to progress faster stuff and they promised no paid dlc beyond cosmetics. Looter fans are starved for new content to grind and more meaningful loot to obtain and will pay for expansions to get more of both. It doesn't seem like cosmetics sell all that sell in this or Destiny like they do in PvP games like Overwatch.
Game was only $20 new at Best Buy so I game it a chance. So far I freaking love this game. Playing on the One X (if that matters). Production values are of the chain, and since ive never played Destiny or and other game in the genre, its all new to me. I dig this.
Also to quote Huber, "Good Faces!"

If u have it...u have to like unlock the shop at fort tarsis like 2-3 missions in or something. Then in the shop u will see a tab or something that u can click over and get the armor and gunHey guys I have a question,
I bought the legion of dawn edition of the game for ps4 yesterday from best buy because it was on sale. So when I redeemed the code from the store it didn't give me an option to download and it's not showing up in my game library. Is this normal for it? Support was completely useless one person told me to contact the retailer and I explained the code issue would be on EA because they manufacturer the game. The transaction on my account shows I redeemed it
Thanks for the reply. I'll try it out and see if it's available that way. It's just weird to me that it come up as a download on the playstation store. Same thing happened to me with battlefront 2 deluxe edition dlc.If u have it...u have to like unlock the shop at fort tarsis like 2-3 missions in or something.

Np. Person that started it had been wanting to kill it for a while now.Sighs. I came to see what happened to the Era discord for Anthem. I still play it occasionally. Thanks for posting to let us know.

I don't have any stats on how many here still play but a new discord can always be made, they're free. Just need someone to make it and post it under hidden tags in here.Is there still a small community that plays here on Era? Could another server be made for it?
Yeah I still quite like the gameplay. Just needs a loot revamp and something repeatable that's dynamic/changes.
