Ok, didn't expect it to do this bad.

This is probably the end for BioWare. Andromeda was handled poorly, especially in regards to the PR (seriously, if the animations were fine, it would’ve gotten solid reviews and likely not flopped). I really wanted to try anthem out, but not like this. Too bad, another EA studio that got fucked up.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

This is actually a lot worse than I ever imagined, I figured a mid 70's score would send the internet reeling but this is a complete disaster. It's hard to believe that this studio has made two out of my favorite games of all time (BG 1 and 2).

I just saw the angry joe review. Its grind to get good gear is insane. Its basically battlefront issue again. One of the guys said that after 70 hours of playtime he still short to be able to get a masterwork gun.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

Newegg had this already listed at $50. I've decided ill make the plunge officially around $20, so prob by mid year it should be that

It is a sad story indeed, such a waste. I only played the demo but was frustrated with loading screens already at that point. I think Anthem would have received much better reviews had they managed the loading better. But I suppose this is the trade off when using a common game engine like Frostbite. It is designed for certain size of maps, and this just is too much. Compare this to for example Horizon Zero Dawn which has background loading systems to keep the flow constantly on.  A huge difference.

I wonder if Division 2 might completely murder this game

From what I'm seeing this doesn't deserve the 60's and should fall to somewhere around 40-50. There ain't no way I'm touching this and I'm sick of games getting good with 50gigs of patches, No man's sky was the last game I to have that chance to and I refuse to give another game that chance even on a flash sale, I'm not supporting this kind of nonsense.

Honestly I am so tired of these half baked service games at this point, to the point I wouldn't mind seeing games Anthem and Fallout 76 fail so bad, that EA and Bethesda have no choice but to abandon them.

Like it was cool when FFXIV and Battlefield 4 manage to make a fantastic come back after a disaster of a launch, but those were the exception and not the norm, unlike now and with the case of the former, it took remaking the whole game to make it great in the first place.
