$20 for a set of cosmetic armor = the most generous offerings in video game history.
$60 for an incomplete buggy mess of a game, how do you call that Ben?
Same.
In fact I'm certain there's a working business model, perhaps a yearly subscription, in releasing absolute garbage games simply for the drama and schadenfreuden that results.
I know I'm getting a lot of enjoyment out of Anthem, and I never even paid a dime.
Now I need art of javelins just trying not to look awkward in a makeshift ball pit.
I bought this game knowing it's issues (and I do enjoy the core gameplay) but I assumed that BioWare would improve it, not actively make it worse. Jfc what a shitshow
The entirety of Sony and Ubisoft's game output since 2015 alone would tell you you are wrong. Let alone things like witcher, metro and countless others. Just because EA are bad at the one thing they're supposed to do (AAA games) doesn't mean everyone else is. Hell, even Activision. They don't release buggy game unpolished games, their issues are from the monetization things
This! I remember that people were worried about the company's future before the game came out, if this is their current output they deserve to be shut down. The gameplay is so much fun but everything around it is such a damn buggy mess. Normally I think it's hyperbolic when people said you paid to beta test a game, in this case it actually feels like a legitimate beta. It's the first time I've paid for a game on release and felt, without hyperbole, I was being a beta tester.
I've never seen tis and I can't stop watching it. Wtf is it from? Bunch of stones on YouTube talking about stuff? I'm amazed!
Removing my post was the fastest way to empower Era users towards their end-game of killing Bioware!
This is the most accurate assessment I've read about Anthem since it released.
To me, it feels like the game was rebooted big time, and they stitched it together to ship it out the door. We are seeing the stitches get pulled out.
Too bad the money they saved on the frostbite engine wasn't directed to an actual QA department that plays the game
I wonder how Legion of Dawn edition owners feel having paid $80 USD to be a beta tester.
Me, I cancelled my preorder after trying the demo that people swore up and down would be all fixed come release time.

It feels like a game that was rebooted 18 months ago, and I will not be shocked if that ends up being true.
Oh man. I feel bad for the devs doing the grunt work to patch this up. They're having a rough go at it. This couldn't have really been in full development for 6 straight years. The Division 2 did it in half that time with the first game still being actively worked on.
Because I wouldn't be surprised if Anthem has gone they multiple resets in development. Similar to what happened with destiny
Getting to the stage where everything that Anthem did right, Fallout 76 did wrong, and everything Fallout 76 did right or almost right Anthem did wrong.
I dont understand, I've got the Legion of Dawn armor and gun with the preorder standard edition...
Yeah... I feel like the 4-tomb-wall was supposed to be much more than it turned out to be. Like, each tomb was supposed to be some unique dungeon/gameplay experience but they had to cut all that for time and instead made those achievement-type requirements to take up the missing time.
The fact that you unlock a tomb after grinding arbitrary stats and load into a 10x10 room with nothing in it but a little glowing casket to get 200 coins does not seem like it turned out how it was originally intended.
I think it's obvious that's the case, but that's not a rushed product. That's a terribly managed one.
Casey Hudson was publicly announced to have returned to Bioware 20 months before the launch of the game....
It wouldn't surprise me everything done up to that E3 reveal was primarily art and animation creation.
Like if most of the game programming and gameplay design actually began around the time it was revealed.

This game is essentially what happened with Mass Effect 3 ending but in a larger scale. Some dudes got locked inside a room and came up with the designs while ignoring every criticism.
It has to be made on a echo chamber.

Thanks. Maybe I missed that exact quote, but yeah, acting like cosmetics for a preorder=an incredibly generous act...bullshit.
He honestly really worries me. I mentioned it in another thread, but I've been a huge fan, since launch, of Elite: Dangerous. That is a game that has been plagued, literally for years, with sizable content additions...to a game that has incredibly shallow mechanics.
Last year, the creative lead was removed/left/whatever and, lo and behold, the content drop actually added interesting depth to a lot of the mechanics.
Those could be correlative instead of causative, but what a coincidence that would be. See: Destiny, as well. Ironically, Destiny is a game that we now know had severe limitations due to the engine. Sounds familiar.
I don't disagree, just noting that it does seem to be selling fairly well, despite its issues.
Yup! I used to do QA for my previous company on our product and these issues are so overt there is no way they didn't know. They literally shipped this not giving a damn and thinking they could patch it up. Just think about all of the lies they told about the Day One patch when they started getting that bad feedback from the demo and "Early Access". They keep kicking the can hoping that people will stay around long enough for them to fix it.
This game is so frustrating because it could've been so amazing and they really fucked it up in every conceivable way possible.
