CNET: As the tepid reviews rolled in after launch, I understood where people were coming from, but I couldn't square them with my experience.
The multiplayer action RPG shipped a whopping 2 million copies in its first week alone.
A nice piece of proof-as if anymore was needed-that a game isn't automatically a success if it sells "millions of copies."
I don't know if it's still possible, but if it still works, PLAY IT. It's a fantastic RPG on it's own, incredible graphics and story, well worth the Bioware name, i don't know how bad it was on release, but when i played years later it was a great single player RPG well worth playing.
Its has been on sale multiple times for like $2-3… and even when not that aggressively dropped, it is usually in the under $10 category of any sale
That’s good, but also worth pointing out that after maybe 3 months on sale, this game was selling for about a tenner. Reminds me a bit of Days Gone, good sales overall but only after huge discounts so unlikely to make large profit
GF365: "Among all the well-received and beloved video games, there are some that are horrendous. Here are our picks for the worst big budget games released since 2010."
Anthem; I'd forgotten that game existed. I remember thinking the trailer was BS though; turns out I was right.
"Worst big budget games" and immediately lists Genshin Impact, a game that has $4 billion in revenue.
$3 billion and counting along with alot of users. I disagree with that being on the list. This list is just a person opinion without merit
I havent played Genshin Impact and Mafia 3 was alright. The rest though I kind of agree with.
I loved the 1st Kane and Lynch and I could not understand how the 2nd game was as bad as it was.
The PlayStation Summer sale expands with a load of new discounts.
Including indies I’ve bought like more than 20 games, good deals all around.
I’ve overindulged too! Gonna pump the brakes on this next round. Unless there’s a PS+ discount. Need a cheap sub for my kid so I’m not always changing primaries.
could you please suggest good indie games (which are on sale)? I love JRPGs or action RPGs but I can play almost any genre e.g. Transistor is £3.74 which I think is a steal :)
Check out earthlock. Its pretty good
Old school jrpg try cosmic star heroine I really like that one
Don't sleep on Darkest Dungeon, Child of Morta or Spiritfarer.
Although it won't be on sale, the best indie I have ever played is release in a week or so, it may be 20 quid but you have to play Hades.
Told my partner to stop me from browsing. We'll see how that goes, the first part of the sale already got me.
Anthem 85% off? Thought they went free to play. Has the game gotten any better?
Edit-Nvm, it's Europe anyway.
The second phase of sales is for all regions
It's just not yet showing up in the ps store
Appreciate the downvotes folks. I guess merely asking a question bothers the incredibly mature users here.
I might finally go for Black Desert. I've been playing ESO (without MTing my characters) for some throw away entertainment, but the combat is so "#$&&%.
I tried BDO a few months ago. It's a decent game but I got bored of it pretty quickly. Combat is very action-based, it's fun but very repetitive. There are a lot of menus and most of the in-game systems are a bit more complicated than they needed to be. Some game modes won't let you buy and sell certain items until you convert to a different mode etc. Basically, the game is kind of convoluted.
The mobs barely react in bdo. You can kill half of a mob of enemies before they'll even attack. You'll basically be grinding mobs until you can fight a boss that will even react well. Don't recommend it
@anast I'd recommend playing the single player version of es if you haven't exhausted your playthroughs
Highly recommend the "metro saga bundle" £25 all 3 games and all DLC plus free upgrade for ps5 exodus 😊
Agreed.
You can not fix this....it will be dead long before it becomes a anything like a decent game.
It simply isnt good enough, and should not be justified by reviewers or consumers , for games to be released in an unfinished state. This kind of article just lets EA off the hook, I hope the game fails miserably, it's just a shame Bioware are caught up in this mess.
I would have a agreed with this because a was actually having a blast with it until I came across some sort of bug the resets my tomb data 5 times it has reset so because of this I got fed up with it one day it will be really good yes. Those of you in the comments below stop comparing red dead 2 to anthem it’s a (live service game) red dead 2 has two components a full blown single player experience that one hell of a game and the online line part which isn’t up to much if u ask me but as a game there completely diff both in type and quality. Anthem has so much potential yes and when it works it’s a lot of fun but it’s just that when it works it still has a lot of game breaking bugs which just shouldn’t make it into the full product it’s really annoyed me clbecause I couldn’t believe how much better the game was compared to what the critics said but then I didn’t play the early access version which people paid extra money for remember and got a much more broken game to what we are playing now.
That is possible but the continuing of trend of releasing games as unfinished broken Alpha’s is not a practice that should be continued. Every game should be worth the price at launch with the additional content meant to supplant the initial experience not make the game worth buying in the first place.
