Anthem At E3: Announcing Less Than A Total Rework Will Ruin Bioware

Anthem will be shown at E3, according to Bioware and EA, but they need to be careful what they announce or risk killing the game entirely.

why are they showing a game that's already released?

PatrickJS1806d ago

Presumably, they're going to be showing off some new content? Hopefully, it's free as an "apology" otherwise I don't know what they're thinking.

UnHoly_One1806d ago

All new content was always going to be free, they said that long before launch.

rdgneoz31806d ago

Beyond the micro-transaction store, all content is suppose to be free. It is just that they haven't stuck to their release schedule, let alone improved a bugged out game with a severe lack of end game. Hell, they claimed they were going to communicate more. Last one was saying no new info... They need to show they are listening to player feedback and rework a lot of their sh!t, or this game is going to die off completely. E3 is one of their last chances to win people back.

Servbot411806d ago

All new content was delayed with no release date given like a week or two ago. Doubt its gonna magically pop up at E3 and/or not be a sky recolor.

Anything less than a FF14 like event won’t help this game. I’m their target audience and when people like me want nothing to do with your game it’s a wrap...

thesoftware7301806d ago

I agree 100%. I was an avid supporter of this game..I still like it, gameplay, concept the whole 9 yards..but the lack of content and the boring loot/drop rate made me stop for over a month now.

I haven't traded my copy as of yet, because I'm waiting to see what they announce at EA play, anything less than the full gambit of new features, loot, areas and a lot of end game content and or a big destiny overhaul, then it's off to gamestop/gamestore with it.

Anomander1806d ago

agreed. I would be happy with just a better drop rate. I don't mind going out and doing the missions with how damn pretty the world is.

SlagWolf1806d ago

I would agree but EA isn’t the company that’s gonna put the money down to make that happen. They will give you small updates and fixes while saying
“We are committed to Anthem”

Anthem has no business at E3. They have no time to do anything but work on the craptastic game that was Anthem. This is the second multimillion dollar mistake from Bioware and they should keep their mouths shut like Sean Murry did and fix their game.

RealOldGamer1805d ago

Somewhat agreed. I do wish there was more communication from them.

Shikoku1805d ago (Edited 1805d ago )

I'd rather hear nothing and see results. They have shown ineptitude at every moment they have spoken since Anthem launched and the article exposing the development or lack there of Anthem went through over 7yrs. Bioware, for lack of a better example, is as smug as Gerald Broflovski smelling his own farts. They believe in their own crunch bullshit so much it has ruined them as a studio.

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

RiseNShine126d 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.

ChasterMies126d ago

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

--Onilink--126d 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

BlackCountryBob126d 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_mmohaven469d ago

yep this is truly a b*tthurt list :/

MadLad469d ago

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

Knushwood Butt470d ago

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

Cueil468d ago

the game wasn't bad though

RavenWolfx469d ago

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

blackblades469d 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

monkey602469d 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.

Aloymetal994d ago (Edited 994d ago )

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

P_Bomb994d 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.

solideagle994d ago (Edited 994d 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 :)

shinoff2183994d ago

Check out earthlock. Its pretty good

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

Aloymetal994d ago

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

LoveSpuds994d 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.

GhostofHorizon994d ago

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

ElvisHuxley994d ago (Edited 994d ago )

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

Hellcat2020994d ago

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

Servbot41994d ago

They abandoned Anthem. Typical EA.

CobraKai994d ago

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

BioShockGX994d ago

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

ElvisHuxley993d ago

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

anast994d 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 "#$&&%.

Servbot41994d ago

BDO sucks. Only good for the character creator.

anast994d ago

Is the combat worth it?

Phoenixryu994d 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.

phoenixwing994d 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

anast993d ago

Thanks. Is there an alternative to ESO?

phoenixwing993d ago

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

EvertonFC994d ago

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