Guess you can convict me of another crime, I enjoy those.
I don't think that's really what she's saying though?
Like if you see the tweet she was actually talking about it's not a review or anything, it's kinda lazy satire. Feels more like she's talking about that kind of gleefully shitting on it - in a way that actually isn't criticism, just going "game bad, right?" - taking up space/effort that could be spent elsewhere. Not gonna say the union stuff is the most directly connected thought but I can see what she's getting at.
Wait is the review embargo out for DOA6 already? Or are outlets allowed to post videos for the game only?
OP
OP
Ah yeah that makes sense. Its funny because Destiny had those too but I don't recall it gating the main story progression.
Jeff can be a little hyperbolic, but on the whole I think he's right. It's mediocre. I really wanted a better Destiny and from the demo and everything I've heard, its worse than Destiny 1 (though a different game in many respects). It's a shame really.
The worst part about that Anthem quest is they don't even attempt to like shoehorn in a lore reason.
Why would this tomb care if i had found 10 collectibles?
At least mask your fetch quest with the veneer of doing something that matters

I know its weird but its kind of annoying when a sequel to a game shows up and there like "it sure looks like more of that" like yeah of course it does its a sequel to that game it would be weird if it wasn't more of that.
Thinking more about Anthem...
Originally I baffled why you'd tap Bioware to make a GAAS shlooter. It didn't seem to fit. But then I remembered, Bioware has already made a loot driven live game... Star Wars The Old Republic. Now, I know it's not the *same* Bioware, and I know SWTOR is an MMO, but from a fundamental perspective we're talking about a lot of the same hangups. You have a story focused online game with tons of characters and locations and is driven by combat and finding loot. The mold was right there. TOR had a fully formed campaign with memorable characters, imporant character choices, story twists and turns, etc etc.

Yeah, either way it isn't super helpful.
But I understand the desire to want to see some evolution outside of maybe graphics.
DOA6 isn't exactly changing the face of DOA
If Anthem was originally just supposed to be a New Single Player Action RPG from Bioware and EA forced them to turn it into a EA's Destiny, that fucking sucks. But honestly it's not surprising considering they told Respawn to deliver a Fortnite as well. Respawn succeeded luckily. Bioware has spent too long in the maw of EA so there was little hope.
I guess my point was when Jeff decides he hates a game he goes into full hyperbole mode and and decides literally every single aspect of the game is trash. A lot of the stuff he said about Anthem was just plain wrong.
They mentioned the idea of an Ocarina of Time remake on the podcast and, somehow, I had never thought of that and man I would be so onboard.
I haven't replayed the game since the original version on 64. I'm. It even sure what would be the best way to play it nowadays if I wanted to?
Oh I guess the 3ds release but then that's on the 3ds...

that... or the wii can run the gamecube version on the zelda collector's disc... or just actual N64
not many great options lol
I am a bit annoyed that during bombcasts all of them (besides maybe Jason) just go along with Jeffs opinion most of the time. If Dan would be there than it would be at least some back and forth if they disagree. But Brad and Ben just nodding and saying "yeah..." all the time, without sometimes not having played the game even is a bit frustrating. Plus Ben throwing in his wannabefunny jokes about something no ones cares about inbetween. Hmpf.
I mean, she's right that the response to anthem has been hyberbolic (even if it is a 6/10 game right now) and she's responding to a tweet that's poking fun at the devs as if it's their fault the game is coming in hot
Brad definitely chimes in when he disagrees, but Ben is usually the yes man that, as mentioned, tries to make some joke that doesn't land. It was weird listening to the Anthem talk if only because I'm so used to Jason being quiet but this time he was all murmurs throughout Jeff's onslaught of criticisms even though he didn't have much to say to refute it.
3DS was actually a remake that's really good. It's one of those "they made it look how you remember it looking". Like you fire it up and thinks everything looks the same, and then you actually look at the N64 version and the 3DS one looks so much better. Plus with the second screen to handle inventory, it's the definitive way to play OoT nowadays
See what Kambay said. Joeku did point it out was the Onion but I don't think he was clear enough about the tweet's content:
It's misdirected shitposting, not actual criticism.
Yeah now that I think about it, I actually bought the 3ds version so I did replay (part of) the game more recently than the original release.
I don't want to dig out my giant gaudy gold 3ds tho lol.
The initial appeal of this game for me was Mass Effect Co-Op gameplay blown out into a full game. Unfortunately it just doesn't feel nearly as tight as that game.
Over which the game was probably rebooted several times. Regardless, the devs didn't make those decisions. The issues with anthem undoubtedly stem from poor decision making from management not the individual devs who worked on the game.
Feel free to direct your criticism at EA but the devs shouldn't be used as a punching bag imo
it was low-hanging fruit for the onion for sure but that doesn't make her "game critics could've solved game dev unionization" take any less whataboutist nonsense
Oh my lord... no way. I really and truly though today was Friday. I feel like I just traveled backwards in time.
Also now I'm very disappointed.
It was an instant block for me.
Everything I've seen of this game screams "uninspired." Actually, that isn't true. It kind of half heartedly mutters "uninspired" as it lazily attempts to be other games.
...until this moment I completely forgot SWTOR exists
