Anthem isn't alone and it shouldn't be treated like it is.
The long-rumoured Destiny Mobile game from NetEase may finally be ready for reveal according to multiple leakers.
Phil Spencer talks candidly about missing out on both Destiny and Guitar Hero
So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses
Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!
another Interview?
how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol
Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.
However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.
How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.
"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"
Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.
A former Halo and Destiny executive producer has said the live service model is "so much better for developers and players" than the one-off $60 purchase model.
Well the Poll on the website is suggesting he is massively wrong and out of touch.
A big majority of the vote going to "I prefer one off purchases with paid expansions"
Couldn't agree more.
I'll always think the concept is awesome. Back during the PS3 era I pictured a Spider-Man game that would be the traditional open world swinging playground that they typically are but every comic issue would be turned into dlc. It'd be the entirety of the Amazing line, 2 to 3 issues at a time, turnt to dlc until the entire Amazing line is told in form of a game. That concept eventually made it to the industry and they have consistently fk'd it up with every game that has been made as a "service".
There is nothing like sitting down , popping in a great single player game and blocking out the world.
Has more content to do compare to divison ,warframe , and destiny 1 .
On a side note for those who think the game should had been delayed. What do YOU consider a finish game as service. You have to realise investors can not wait 10+ years and miss fiscal quarters just to get good will from a gamer .
I understand the disdain for the bujgs in the game, but the actual gameplay once you get to high level and really understand the battle system it becomes extremely fun. I think the biggest area-of-improvement would be if they added into the tutorial how combos and status effects work. I literally had no idea until I was already level 30 and doing Grand Master missions. Currently, you cannot progress as a team unless your working together to constantly combo enemies on GM2+. You won't get past the first level - I had my first experience after 80 horus of playing where I joined a team for the first Stronghold on Grand Master 2 and we we're doing everything together like a synchronized backstreet boys concert and could barely get to the boss of the frst Stronghold after 3 hours. It was insanely fun and Bloodbourne like difficulty.
There is no way to avoid a lack of content. It is a matter of time. But luckily GAAS games will continue to get content so it isn't a real issue for the game, just an issue for patience. Which I agree, can be frustrating, but in the end we will end up with way more content than your average 60 dollar game normally provides.
Anthem has a great foundation as far as gameplay. And they clearly know how to build interesting worlds. Can't wait to see where the game goes. Having a great time so far.
Actually, yes, Anthem does have a reason (you can call it an excuse) if they repeat the same mistakes Destiny made. Why? Bioware's Anthem is not Activision's Destiny. If we follow the authors logic, I should not have been falling down when learning how to ride a bike, my two older brothers learned to ride 3-4 years before me.
Being incapable of separating bias from review because games similar to Anthem came-out a few years prior falls on the reviewer not the game.
With that being said, Anthem's reviews are disappointing, and as a fan of the Bioware (Especially the ME Trilogy) it hurts to see EA/Bioware blow another big opportunity at launch. My hope is that content and story are fleshed out as the game continues it's course.
EXACTLY!
