This game smells huge downgrade incoming!!!! Huge!!!!

Genuine-User2465d ago (Edited 2465d ago )

Nah. The final build will look slightly better than the reveal.

jugo142465d ago

bahahahahaha nope. Not even on the x one

LP-Eleven2465d ago

Indeed. But then, as I'm sure you know, the new piggybacked term for the gen is "downgrade". Happens every gen. Last was "generic". Next, there will surely be something else.

OffRoadKing2465d ago

That wouldn't be consistent with literally every other game reveal we've ever had.

Huge? Depends on what system.. With the X1s and PS4, yeah, probably...Maybe a bit with the Pro but for X1X and PC probably not much if any.

super_bruno2465d ago

@corrios

Depends on the console, for XBO, PS4 and PS4 PRO probably.

corroios2464d ago

Not really. I think only a high end PC will be able to run this game without downgrades. And even so, after watching all the script trailer, i have major doubts.

_LarZen_2465d ago

Some most likely. But what was shown at E3 was running live on a Xbox One X. So hopefully it is close to what the Xbox One X, PlayStation4 Pro and PC will look like.

I'm very displeased with how they threw Mass Effect under the bus in favor of copying Destiny's success. As far as I'm concerned Bioware is treading ever closer to my, "nah", list.. But I'll still keep an eye on Anthem, it may surprise me. At least it deserves a chance.

..I did like the art design and graphics even though it's likely going to see a classy manipulative marketing downgrade, and the idea of the wall and the unknown threat was pretty mysterious and interesting... The suit game play looked cool and I do like finding loot and exploring underwater.. I just hope it doesn't suffer from Semi-MMO-itus where it's basically a half baked washed out campaign that really just favors players making the experience valuable online without really developing much on the story front, "Outside of a website codex at least."

Time will tell, it's too early. But I remain sceptical for now.

TheColbertinator2465d ago

Bioware to me has always been about story,script and characters. Gameplay really isn't their strong suit so I'm hopeful they nail a great concept down to next year.

DaDrunkenJester2465d ago

The original creator was done with ME after 3 so he left started a side studio doing Anthem... if anything it was EA trying to keep the series going and cash grabbing it based off the nae alone.

narsaku2465d ago

I want to believe, I'm just not openly trying to look for reasons to give me hope when the legs on the stool are starting to wobble.

If it ends up being a whole new epic I'll be really happy, but I'm not certain that's what we are going to see.

DigitalRaptor2465d ago

Not long enough for it to look like that on anything but the highest-end of high-end PCs... not an Xbox One X.

Kingdomcome2472464d ago

You may be right, but as far as I understand, both Digital Foundry and EA have already confirmed that the E3 gameplay reveal was indeed running on the One X. I'm not looking to pick a fight, as I will ultimately pick it up on the platform that the majority of my friends purchase it on (so, PS4 Pro more than likely), as that is my deciding factor for each of the select MP games that I purchase.

Cy2464d ago

I wonder which will be delayed first, this or Kingdom Hearts 3?

TheOttomatic912464d ago

IMO either Late 2018 or early 2019

Anthem Sold A Solid 5 Million Copies In Its Lifetime

The multiplayer action RPG shipped a whopping 2 million copies in its first week alone.

JEECE125d ago

A nice piece of proof-as if anymore was needed-that a game isn't automatically a success if it sells "millions of copies."

RiseNShine125d ago

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.

ChasterMies125d ago

This a good example of why you should be hesitant to buy a game at launch.

--Onilink--125d ago

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

BlackCountryBob125d ago

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

What a shitty f***** list! Most of the games on it were great fun. Bullshit list.

chantii_mmohaven468d ago

yep this is truly a b*tthurt list :/

MadLad468d ago

I think the only one I agreed on was Anthem, and even that isn't horrendous.

Knushwood Butt469d ago

Anthem; I'd forgotten that game existed. I remember thinking the trailer was BS though; turns out I was right.

Cueil467d ago

the game wasn't bad though

RavenWolfx468d ago

"Worst big budget games" and immediately lists Genshin Impact, a game that has $4 billion in revenue.

blackblades468d ago

$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

monkey602468d ago

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.

Aloymetal993d ago (Edited 993d ago )

Including indies I’ve bought like more than 20 games, good deals all around.

P_Bomb993d ago

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.

solideagle993d ago (Edited 993d ago )

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 :)

shinoff2183993d ago

Check out earthlock. Its pretty good

Old school jrpg try cosmic star heroine I really like that one

Aloymetal993d ago

Disco elysium, man eater, inside, limbo
Dead cells, observer, to name a few

LoveSpuds992d ago

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.

GhostofHorizon993d ago

Told my partner to stop me from browsing. We'll see how that goes, the first part of the sale already got me.

ElvisHuxley993d ago (Edited 993d ago )

Anthem 85% off? Thought they went free to play. Has the game gotten any better?
Edit-Nvm, it's Europe anyway.

Hellcat2020993d ago

The second phase of sales is for all regions
It's just not yet showing up in the ps store

Servbot41993d ago

They abandoned Anthem. Typical EA.

CobraKai992d ago

I can’t believe they’re still trying to sell it

BioShockGX992d ago

Got Anthem for $5 last year. Not a bad game for that price lol

ElvisHuxley991d ago

Appreciate the downvotes folks. I guess merely asking a question bothers the incredibly mature users here.

anast993d ago

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 "#$&&%.

Servbot41993d ago

BDO sucks. Only good for the character creator.

anast993d ago

Is the combat worth it?

Phoenixryu993d ago

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.

phoenixwing993d ago

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

anast992d ago

Thanks. Is there an alternative to ESO?

phoenixwing992d ago

@anast I'd recommend playing the single player version of es if you haven't exhausted your playthroughs

EvertonFC993d ago

Highly recommend the "metro saga bundle" £25 all 3 games and all DLC plus free upgrade for ps5 exodus 😊
