BioWare has confirmed that Anthem armor sets won't be available at launch, but legendary weapons will be, and there's a lot! Read the article for the full context of what was said.
Former BioWare executive Mark Darrah says "be a human being, have some empathy."
Fans don't know who is actually to blame.
Darrah throws up a hypothetical that someone might not like how an actor delivered a line. Sure, it could well be down to the actor, but it also might be down to who was directing them, how the writer asked their work to be delivered, or maybe that was the only take they got.
This line from the video though
"Maybe the CEO of the entire company really wanted his nephew to be hired as a script consultant and this guy with literally zero experience was coming in and pushing for mandatory changes"
Like others have said that seems far too specific to just be an example...
If only there was a single problem with this game, it was a train wreck waiting to crash and burn.
Personally, i think we should always blame and criticize the management (especially top management; like with EA - every screw up should be blamed on Andrew Wilson and his goons). They're the ones with the power, the ones who have the last say in the matter - whatever is the plot details, gameplay, microtransactions, budget and «It's ok that it's buggy and crashes constantly, release the game ASAP, we'll fix it later».
Harrasement is not ok in my book, although, nowadays, many people paint every type of criticism (whatever warranted or not) as harrasement. Which is a very narrowminded and waters down actual harrasement problems. But, i guess, it makes it easier to ignore everything bad you see aimed towards yourself.
I would also like to add, that this topic is a double-edged sword, some developers are being mean to their customers, calling them names or any sort of -isms, that happens. In that case, don't be surprised, that, when you're «firing shots», customers are «shooting back» at you.
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.
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.
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.
Lol. This game is going to be a big joke. Can't wait to watch the shit storm.
Honestly, almost every scrap of news for this game makes me hate how I pre-ordered it. I also tried the closed alpha and that wasn't very promising either. It just looks more and more like a quick cash grab and then they'll probably put out a small DLC or two to milk it.
Armor sets will be coming soon via tasty microtransactions very soon after the release. So don't worry everyone. You will be able to spend hundreds of dollars on armor sets soon enough. Good ol' EA.
Still on the fence on this game since its ea after all. May wait a month or so for everyones feedback and news on ea screwing it up some way and that most likely will be microtransactions being added into the game sooner or later...
What in the name of Zeus's butthole is wrong with EA? Why is every game launched incomplete? Do not pre-order this until you read reviews and watch gameplay from youtube. Even after you do that...wait another month until they introduce micro-transactions because you know these companies do that these days to trick sites like IGN. This game is bound to be a money pit.
