Honestly Ben is one of the people to blame for Anthem being the way it was. He's a stubborn person judging by his past, and his decisions take a LONG time to get changed. This might actually be a positive for BioWare.
Geez...you care THAT much? If it's a good game, play it. If MS manages to make this and a couple other good exclusives, then I'll get an xbox again. Idgaf about brand loyalty personally. I had a PS3 and x360, this gen only a PS4 because xbox was ass. If next gen is better then great, I have more exclusives to play on other platforms.
It's hilarious to me that EA didn't make these games, but get the blame. Respawn made Apex, they got praised...Respawn making this SW game, looks boring, EA gets the blame...LOL.
It's the outrage culture. Rile the masses up till they're foaming at the mouths, and watch all the sweet money come in from add revenue.
Sales is not an indication of a better product... if that's the case Justin Bieber is among the best singers in the world...
I don't really care too much about this issue personally, but it's funny you bring up consumer choice as an argument against it when Steam basically had a monopoly.
@Shikoku, you can play the entire campaign solo.
And no mention of Diablo? These games don't NEED raids at all. Destiny has set some kind of benchmark to some people that I find disturbing when that game to me was garbage. You spend $170 on the first game to experience everything the game has to offer, and then they do the same in Destiny 2 and people gobble it up.
But Bungie somehow gets a pass, and in fact sets the tone for some people...lol
You mean stuff you don't actually have to buy? Skins that adds nothing to the core gameplay mechanics? You know you can see things, and say "nope, not for me" right? Buy it, don't buy it, no skin of my nose, but people acting like whiteknights over something that's literally optional is hilarious.
Borderlands or Diablo didn't have raids, and those were great / pretty good looters. Not every looter needs a "raid". SoT is not a fair comparison for itself or to Anthem.
@king... a "distant dream" prior to 2018? ah?! We ignoring Sony was doing crossplay on PCsince PS3 now? And Sony asked MS if they'd do it, and MS said no... we ignoring all that because it was a "distant dream"? Cool.
Problems that were fixed: Login screen, rubberbanding, demo codes not going out / not working.
Problems still in the game: Infinite loadscreen, random boots to menu due to server error, general bugs and optimization issues.
It's a 6 week old build. Towards the end of a development cycle, 6 weeks is a lot of work, so I expect a lot of current bugs, are already fixed. Network errors is something they didn't test properly they admitted.
@Elwenil why are you so angry? LOL... where did EA touch you chief?
Not falling for a free demo? Hardcore of you.
So we gonna say ME 2 was shit? And Dragon age 1-2 was shit?
Certainly an unpopular opinion here, but I'm waiting and seeing. People are quick to dismiss ANY game coming from EA, but the people that are working on this game are the same people that worked on old ME and DA games. Confirmed by one of the lead producers ( https://twitter.com/GambleM... ). I find it funny publishers like Ubi and Activision get a pass, but EA somehow is the "baddest" of th...
They made the Mass Effect Trilogy under EA....
While it's a decent game, "toned down the casualness"? This isn't less casual than any other BF imo. What's so "competitive" about it? Someone prone with bipod LMG in a corner is hardcore? Bombers casually getting 5-8 kills by just simply flying over a flag and pressing a button is competitive? Calling in a bomb and dropping it on a flag is ESL / MLG level stuff?
Sorry, but BF will forever be a casual experience. Making players harder to see and takin...
Intentionally manipulating PSN / exploiting it to cause others an inconvenience... I can't tell if he's doing it over PSN, or finding their IP's and DDoS'ing them.
Both are crimes, so I don't know what you mean by "a bit much".
The gaming media has mostly painted the reaction from the community as "entitled", and at the same time totally missed the reason they reacted the way they did. It wasn't just about "oh it's a mobile game", and any journalist saying that are completely out of touch with gaming and gamers on the whole.
I'm not a PC gamer, and I understand fully well why Blizzcon attendees reacted the way they did. I do not feel entitled to anything, but at the same tim...
jfc... you people realize EA had nothing to do with Anthem being the way it is right?
