Anthem does worse than Andromeda

Try again.
Bioware has NEVER made a good game. They make the equivalent of supermarket romance novellas with Fabio on the cover. Trite bullshit for simple minded cucks.

>Trite bullshit for simple minded cucks.
so US and console crowd in general.

Even better is the A team's budget was 200 million and the B team had 100 million.

And after Andromeda was done they literally got everyone to work on Anthem. How the hell is it possible for a game like this to have such little content and zero interesting missions / story etc?

talk to us in 2 hours of the same gameplay same weapons and same missions, then we'll see if it's 'pretty good'

Wonder what happens now...
Several things can happen.

Bioware tries to fix Anthem and learn from their mistakes as they work on Anthem sequel.
Bioware returns to making simpler in scope story driven single player RPGs.
Bioware is disolved by EA just like the sister studio.

No news on Dragon Age IV so far too, but I think it's being worked on

yeah for sure, for it's time at least it had diverse content, those cgi movies were top tier and when you even compare the content and story to current disney movie garbage it isn't even that bad

who would have guessed that fucking swotor in retrospect could be viewed as good

a new dragon age will happen, there were talks about it on several sites, but if this trend continues then it will be worse than fucking anthem

the diversity hires really did kill bioware in the end

>for it's time at least it had diverse content
nigga it was a WoW clone with WoW clone content with some Starfox missions tacked on. The story got even more retarded than Disney as time went on. You're a goddamn retard if you consider SWTOR good, even in retrospect.

better than andromeda and anthem and the last jedi? is it really that crazy to consider swotor better than that

reminder baldur's gate 1 is the only good bioware game

Yes. Just because other things are also shit does not make the other shitty thing less shit. Final Fantasy XIII didn't become good when XV came out.

Dragon Age 4 was announced at The Game Awards last year with a teaser trailer and the hashtag “TheDreadWolfRises” but they said it’s very early in development still. Same Dragon Age Inquisition team, minus the director and a few leads.

Will most likely be shit.

GRAPHICS GRAPHICS MUH GRAPHICS
Every ounce of time and money went into the overworld which is absolutely gorgeous but wasted on such a hollow shell of a game.

>''This doom and gloom isn't all conjecture, by the way. BioWare employees themselves say that the developer has bet everything on Anthem's success. Speaking anonymously to Kotaku, a number of BioWare's designers, developers, and other staff members say that the company's future rests on Anthem. If the game doesn't succeed, Kotaku's report says, "BioWare will look very different in the future" — and not in a good way.''

it's ogre

overworld looks nice, but it's empty as fuck and even the GRAPHICS argument falls flat when you see the fucking hub area, it's the most bland worst looking hub in this generation of games, what the fuck were they thinking, compare it to the E3 footage, they fucked themselves with bullshots and fake trailers

Well, RIP in pieces then

>EA want this game to sell 1 million units a week

I just do not see this happening

Are we all out of tracked critics/review sites for the game now, or are there a few left to maybe drop it into the 50s?

Well yeah but that's why I said every ounce of money went into the overworld. Those faces on the NPCs in the hub are terrifyingly plastic.

I see it happening. Normies and children are all super hype about iron man simulator 2019. I'm not joking, I teach high school and every boy has anthem on their lips.

especially for normies when fucking apex legends launched recently, all the kids are playing it and all the twitch streamers are streaming it, a good free game, any game launching in this time period will suffer in sales because of apex

Mass Effect has always been shit. prove me wrong.

MAYBE I'M FOOLISH

How? Anthem is boring and uninspired, but at least it is functional. Andromeda was a trainwreck from every side, bugs, story, visuals, writing - it was all shit.
Was it virtue signalling?

I can't. Because I've never played them. Looked like some cringe star trek rip off.

Bioware will be shut down, replaced by Respawn as the golden goose of EA. Then they'll force the studio to make another "AAA" game that flops, then another, and another, then EA will purchase another studio and the cycle continues.

if they keep slashing the price, I could see it happening! they could sell one million units if one unit is $1

I'd buy that for a dollar!

it's always been overrated as fuck, it's babbys first RPG, but because it's more action adventure than rpg and it looked amazing and had high production values for the time normies flocked to it, I'm talking about 2 here mostly because that was the height of the mass effect craze

I'll wait for the game to cost 25€, it looks like something I'd enjoy but it's still too rought right now.

Weird, not even my 9900k does that.

51 hours into the game and 490 ilvl.

This games flaws are;
>Not being able to share gear
>Not being able to respawn in Strongholds
A lot of fun waiting 25min for a ress because your team of randoms dont know shit.. and yes I started a timer, not the first time this happend so I wanted to know how long i waited.

all fucking flops, most of them both commercial and critical, but all commercial flops

only two things they have is FIFA and now apex legends, and apex might turn out to be just a flavor of the month battle royale

Not for that long necessarily. EA's cycle of shit has been due to vidya market being overheated as fuck for years, but now the constant explosive growth is slowing down fast and expansion of AAA-industry is hitting the wall fast. They can no longer promise investors that generic product Y will automatically outsell previous generic product X. That's the reason why big corporations are trying to shill "games as service" and shitty overpriced DLCs, they can't find enough growth from just selling more games as there are not enough new consumers, so they need to make people pay more money for each game they buy.

any germans here? does that say 'hopefully no koln lime ban'? what does that mean?

pc or console? how are the load times, and loading in general

>waiting 25min for a ress

massive yikes, now I won't even get the game for cheap, the loads and the slow walking in the hub, so much dead time in this game it's insane

at least Androgynmeda was so bad it was entertaining
Anthem is a boring non-content shit

it's a movie reference

What happened to gamers? In the past all they needed was good graphics to sell games.
Why do they suddenly care about gameplay now?

youtube.com/watch?v=E-xkVp2emlg

looks like that great group of women (and allies!) can't code for shit

Because when everything has good graphics then graphics aren't the defining factor in sales.

vielen dank

this, at least it was a fun shitshow, this is just boring and will be forgotten in every way by the end of the month

The presentation does have problems too, especially the loot designs are boring, bland and repetitive. It's weird really, how they had all the time in the world to create detailed environments and enemies but the loot in shoot n' loot game looks like it was all done in a single day's work.

nothing looks better than red dead 2 and normies already played that, they already played destiny, and now they have their free battle royale games, anthem is a game for no one

PC,
I play on an SSD, 1080Ti, i7 computer so loading times for me are between 10seconds to 2min depending.
BUT and this is a fucking huge but, there are too many loadings in this game. If you arent in the front line in Strongholds be prepared to get loading screens because you arent at the next checkpoint.
This happends a lot.

>waiting 25min for a ress
Yup, and this were with 3 randoms that were all alive.
One Stronghold we had 1 afk in spawn and we all died so noone could ress.. had to ALT F4 to be able to play again because you can't just FUCKING LEAVE. Youre stuck in a fucking "Waiting for ress" screen.

This game is a joke but it have a lot of fun moments. Sadly I quit today because it released 2 days ago and it's just a fucking mess with new players not knowing shit and wasting your fucking time.

Also Ive read that they are prepared to make Crossplay a thing? PC and console play together? Sounds like fun...

Why do the console versions still not have any reviews? Am I missing something?

I generally like games Yea Forums hates, and dislike the games Yea Forums likes.

My brain probably has defects.

not updated by the site, major sites scores will just transition over, will happen first work day next week

Probably cause EA has the $15 thing and most critics saw that as a better option to start it early

Does that usually happen? Most times a major game release on Metacritic will have reviews on it as soon as it's released, from my experience.

Thank god, kill Bioware already, they're nothing but a shitty SJW studio now anyway.

It came out way to early, the combat is pretty cool, so I think it has potential, but I think it will be a good game, like a year or 2 from now.

You can’t destroy a medium. Even if the industry dies there’s still going to be games developed in bomb shelters and radioactive wastelands

It was in development for goddamn 5 years already.

>but I think it will be a good game, like a year or 2 from now.
I don't think it's acceptable that we get used to this. So the game becomes OK just within the trime frame where a sequel might come out? That moronic.

Why are you making this thread constantly? Literally nobody gives a shit.

Metro Exodus isn't good, but Resi 2 was.

>Mfw spend more time running around rezzing people than fighting in late missions on Xbone
Its amazing how little situational awareness people have, also I'm tired of playing with twink Storms and Intercepter. Only time I run into a Colossus or Ranger is freeplay or when one of my friends run it, who are also shit at staying alive. At least the Ranger has decent survivability and can do ok damage when needed so I'll just play as that until friends drop this in a month or so.

So they've made the same game for the 6th time in a row, wow, much claps

Too bad Doom Eternal is going to blow them all out of the water, and that's not even the best that's yet to come, kek

Don't get me wrong, in NO way am I saying we should get use to it or that its a good thing.

I think the "live service" model isn't a bad idea, its just most devs have taken that to mean launch a game bare bones and then build it up to a full game instead of launch a full game and add more shit to it as you go.

It probably will now unless it has some devoted players.

I agree. It's a fucking shambolic absolute mess, but the core gameplay when it works is pretty addictive - that being said, like Joe said, the loot, repetitive nature of the basic game types and lack of endgame are all MAJOR gameplay features that need massively reworking in order to drag it back into life again. That's without dealing with the myriad of bugs, disconnects and fuckups like the loading screens that stop you from enjoying the gameplay in the first place.

Salvageable? Possibly, but would require a fuckton of work and seeing as what we've got is what they've been working on for 6 years, I am somewhat doubtful they can pull it off. Another team could. But yeah, probably not gonna happen. RIP Anthem/Bioware.

You think the brown people will regret it when they're the ones who'll have to put up with white women's shit?

Its SO weird, not just the load of bugs bug like even simple things not working and things bioware doesn't seem sure of themselves.
Simple things like little buff descriptions being wrong and some straight up not working.
Things they don't know like just before launch people were asking them if there would be any elemental guns that take advantage of their combo system, they said no not at launch, maybe in the future, but I know there are like atleast 3 weapons that DO do shit with their combo system.

Its like someone else was making the game, suddenly disappeared mysteriously and Bioware just came across their code like 2 months before launch and tried to turn it around into a working game.

Like its been pretty well written about how broken it is but I don't think people understand to what extent.

That's the person you mean.

>Lets make Destiny - Division ripoff in the world where Destiny - Division exists.

Big brained guys at EA

Attached: images.png (231x218, 4K)

holy shit

Yeah, I'm thinking that with this level of shit, there's no way 6 years of hard work and dedication went into it. Either A: The team's been doing a "Duke Nukem Forever" and fucking around, doing hardly any work and then they've rushed it in the last 6 months for release after EA pulled out the spanking belt. Or, B: The dev team has been considerably smaller than they've made out to cut costs and possibly people have left midway through development leaving others to pick up the pieces without any real idea as to what the fuck they're doing, which could explain the inconsistency - ie why some elements to the game feel really decent like the core gameplay, but the rest feels half-arsed and incomplete.

Just speculation obviously, I'm sure in months/years to come, depending on whether or not Bioware gets shut down, they'll be some "reveal all" from a developer and we'll get the full story. Will probably be more interesting to read than playing the game sadly.

Its not a bad idea, they just did it badly.

If you count only Div and Destiny then there are 4 games like this and Anthem learned from NONE of them.

I'm wondering if maybe the guts of the game was just ripped from Andromeda, its the gameplay kinda feels like a wider more refined version of Andromedas combat.
Then they just kinda tried to fit the square gameplay peg into the round rest of the game hole.

Yeah, I've got a feeling you might be onto something there.

>people have left midway through development leaving others to pick up the pieces without any real idea as to what the fuck they're doing, which could explain the inconsistency

has to be this

I dont believe Anthem is worse than Andromeda. Few games are worse than Andromeda

Its simply that back when Andromeda was out EA shilling was stronger than now. Publishers are losing territory to streamers so there are less paid written reviews and more paid streams, which leads to journos not being that afraid of speaking their mind for once.

Well, too little too late journos, fuck you all

Thinking about it, it really is SUPER similar to Andromeda. Like besides the flying almost exactly the same.

Own both man, I think the gameplay of Anthem feels better then Andromeda, but I think its worse in just about every other way.

Remember TORTANIC?

>ts worse in just about every other way.
The writing cant be worse than in Andromeda. That... thats not possible, it simply cant

FIFA alone is enough to keep ea alive

The amount of money they make from player cards alone is absurd

You mean the game thats still making ea millions of dollars 8 years on?

Yes i remember it

I mean to be honest I don't remember MUCH of the writing in Andromeda, but I can tell you I am CURRENTLY playing Anthem and can't remember much of its writing either.

All the faces look good as well I suppose.

I don't know what on Earth made anyone think this was a good idea.

It's far too naive and characters are underdeveloped. It doesn't feel like real modern humans wrote it. Reading Baldur's Gate's dialogue creates the same disconnect like 1930s romance novels.

nobody on consoles plays shit like this, it's either dumb sports games or singleplayer focused games. nobody on PC buys games on Origin and only want to use the garbage that is Steam.

Apex legends, Team Fortress 2, Fortnite (inb4 edgy unpopular fedora opinion) and Assassins Creed: Odyssey are all good games with diverse characters/development teams.

Inclusiveness and making a good game are only mutually exclusive if you've leaked out of the containment board

Isn't that the NPC that asks the female PC out for coffee if you play a female, then when you reject him (both options are no) he then apologizes to you for rejecting him? Absolute fucking soi and a disgrace to the white race.

Post Baldur's Gate 2, Bioware was never good, and no this isn't bait.

mass effect was the beginning of the end

Mass Effect can be described with one word - overrated, and when companies stop buying hype for a game that was never that good, you get Andromeda.

>implying origins or bioware kotor are any good

the only good thing bioware ever made was baldur's gate 2, even the first baldur's gate was a steaming pile of trash when it was released

>Inclusiveness and making a good game are only mutually exclusive if you've leaked out of the containment board
Or if you're an obsessed leftist ideologue. /pol/ and those faggots harbor the same hatreds and political conspiracy theories so it stands to reason that they'd produce slanted trash with an emphasis on agenda over creativity. The only difference with the games you linked is that they were made by developers that haven't shifted into full on ideologue mode like Bioware.

babbys first action rpg

The truth is that the last fortnite features a majority of non white and female playable characters, and a smash hit, and literally set forth the ideal in which a game should be designed today and in the near future, whether done successfully or not.

If you dislike inclusiveness and diversity in games, simply accept the fact you're limited to playing weeaboo hentai games and retro nintendo rehashes. Diversity is the future of gaming.

ME3 was a PR nightmare, DA3 was plagued by the open world features, Andromeda was a massive failure across the board, Anthem is just as bad plus way more tech issues. That means that Bioware hasn't had a success since ME2. 8 years ago. If EA doesn't shutter them, they never will.

>what went wrong? is this it for Bioware?
They forced the frostbite engine down their throats forcing them to scrap any work they did on engines actually made for the shit they were working on and start anew forcing them to make the tech needed to make frostbite actually work for the shit they were making but at the expense of any actual progress made to the actual content of the game itself.
Shame really since the suits forcing them to work on the in house made/owned engine is decent idea on paper. Shit is just dumb to force the scraping of in progress shit simply cause of any and all lack of understanding of how shit actually would work out for the best.

>there are white men who forked over 60 or more $ of their hard earned cash for this shit

>blame EA for bioware being a bunch of tranny SJWs
nah fuck this shit, bioware did this on their own

they had like 200 million and 5+ years to develop a game, and this is the best they've got?

One thing of note but the voice acting is really awful. I don't mind when a game spends a long time on voiced dialogue but at least makes the characters and their voices interesting.

>most likely
still having hopes I see

In 2004 Blizzard made a game where you can seamlessly go from Elwynn forest into Stormwind without a loading screen.

In 2019 Bioware made a game where you can't go from the world into a city without a minute loading screen.

Bioware is the most incompetent developer in the industry.

I bought andromeda a few weeks ago, it’s one of the best games I have ever played. If the earlier games are even better then I really need to play them. I couldn’t find them on the playstation store, so I’m hoping for a remastered version soon.

They left that in their employee's room apparently.

What? I know people didn’t like the game, but I just don’t know why. I normally skip all dialogue or ignore cutscenes in games but andromeda actually had me paying attention and listening. I flirted so much with that blue chick peebee and it paid off in the end and got to fuck her. Best moment in my 30 years of gaming.

Angry Joe gave it a 4/10 which is the only correct score for this

It is a below average game. 6/10 makes it seem better than average. This is a problem with reviews in general though.

Anyway, the game is shit, and will remain shit for the coming future. People expecting this to improve in 6 months will be disappointed. This being anything near a full game will take more than a year.

One thing they do have on their side is the promise of free DLC and their commitment to development of Anthem with no sequels. If they can keep that promise then it stands a chance of being very good, as the overall concept is great. But the disastrous mismanagement of this project to date does not lend confidence in those same idiots and pricks being able to fix it.

They are probably deciding the damage control move. I bet on russian bots/"trolls" in metacritic and white males employees.

It was my first video game fuck and it was awesome. Well...fable doesn’t count cause that was just grab a whole bunch of random sluts and go back to my castle and somehow not get an STD.

based lad, best vidya moment of his life was when he fucked peebee, true hero

its a shame because the gameplay is just great

but of course normies who want loot games dont understand what makes games like d2 or poe classics of the genre, its the loot itself, the itemization more specifically

in a few hours of anthem campaign, playing colossus, I immediately understood that it would just be me equipping autocannon and juggle with wall of fires, coils, mortars, and that going up further in levels and in 'raids' would just net me more of the same without any real flavor

I usually never buy games at release but anthem does gameplay right and if content follows in the form of better encounters then its going to be great assuming you totally forget about 'loot' and just use the bigger numbers, you're not going to 'build' a javeling as much you're going to enjoy mastering them

I didnt play andromeda, but if you enjoy the casual fun of nu bioware games you should try dragon age inquisition

This. Diversity isn't inherently bad (unless you're a /pol/fag) but diversity isn't inherently good either (unless you're a SJWtard). What matters is the talent behind the games. EA and Bioware thinks they can substitute talent with "diversity" but have proven that it means nothing if you can't deliver. No amount of "diverse" employees will save you if all you make is crap.

of course I agree but thats not the goal of the studio
they could have made plenty of things like this better, better menus, customization, items in general
instead, we get p2w customization of javelins, because thats what makes money

on the very negative side for me is all those pointless challenges that require you to painfully navigate through menus to 'track' them for some unknown obscure reason
I'm fine with randoms popups like you killed x times x enemies or some shit like that but the menus need to disappear asap

EA probably forced them to switch to frostbite, again, frostbite works well on smaller maps and not so dense worlds but even then it's prone to glitching out and the current hardware just can't support it hence the massive load times and several loads even in the open world

likely this was being developed on some other in-house engine and around 2 years ago EA forced the change because they wanted their bigger and better destiny/division clone fast, several key people left bioware also

What actually happened? Graphics aside, half of this isn't even in the game anymore. There is no mission with this kind of feeling or scale

diversity leads to shit games like these tho
they literally employ people based on their skin color/country of origin instead of talent
this is how you get technical messes with shit story/characters and gameplay

They split the team making on mass effect ,the other one anthem .

The UI was some of the worst shit. Are there professionals out there who focus on this stuff? They should have gotten one. Everything is bad, from choosing missions to how you customize your guy.

I honestly dont believe anthem is that bad.
No, i do not play it and do not plan to, but it seems fishy. Like a negative hype train, which formed because of previous EA blunders and shitty behaviours. It became trendy among youtube talk men to say EA BAD, and their fans followed.
Game is probably just mediocre, not 4/10. No review made impression of genuine trash game like f76 ones did.

It is bad. Not the worst game ever made, but it just isn't good. Lots of people want to blame that on some anti-EA cult but sometimes a thing is disliked because it isn't good.

There are a lot of technical difficulties. My team had to kill themselves multiple times in the last several missions to get the game to keep going. Enemies will phase out of existence right in front of you. The UI is absolute ass and I have broken it several times just trying to equip stuff. That's just a few of the things. There will of course be people out there who like it and that's fine, but from my experience, it is bad

They started developing before both of those game bioware took too much time and final product is a rush mess.

DELETE THIS!!!!!!

Yeah I tried it. The combat is utter trash and the storyline is stupid and I stopped playing after a few hours and haven’t thought of it since.

Play Destiny 2, Warframe, Borderlands 2 or The Division if you want a proper looter shooter experience.

I mean this kind of incompetence is systemic. This kind of shit has been happening for a long time but people always gave Bioware a pass because muh story. Since Bioware is no longer relevant people finally call them out on their ineptitude.

Not just that, there is no characters that just look like healthy humans, disregarding race.
Every fucking one ive seen looks like a retarded victim of dozens generations of inbreeding, with weird facial features and expressions. Its just doubtful these sickly mutts could survive anthems harsh world.

Just because it's been announced doesn't mean it's gonna happen. EA have cancelled projects before. I think BioWare is at a real risk of getting shutdown.

>Bad gameplay
>Story is NO U ARE THE SITH LORD!
At least it's a polished turd.

Ive been playing the division for the past month or so because I got bored with destiny after hitting 650.

Im starting to get bored with the division now because this week was a global event that basically gave me 4 full classified sets by just getting carried through challenging missions and now idk what to do because I have no friends.

Is anthem really honestly the worst looter shootet ever made? I paid 60 dollars for Defiance on release day and I really cant imagine anything being a worse decision.

Anthem is far better than Mass Effect Andromeda, there's no reason for that score.

This game needs a 75-80 minimum.

It's that but with a poorly written story (from a developer that once prided itself on good writing), lots of bugs, and endless loading screens that take way too long.

So exactly what this user just said.

not all the blame, but some of the blames goes to their diversity hires and the effort to appease the current san fran, ny upper echelon of gaming vidya journos and their desire to see diverse, minority, lgbtq characters ands such related sub-stories in games

Can someone please explain to me why the higher-ups in these publishing companies keep going for diversity in their hires when it clearly ruins franchises and loses money? It boggles the mind how a bunch of businessmen who supposedly know how to run a huge corporation can fall for the diversity meme time and time again and watch game releases flop. One has to truly wonder if they're being paid by some mysterious force to push this diversity agenda.

This is so fucking true, you have no idea. I work as a programmer and while most of my colleagues are guys, they are almost all effeminate pussies who think all women are goddesses. There's like one cool dude who I can have a normal conversation with and both of us hide our views because even the boss is a pussy whipped faggot.

Good question. If I was running these companies I'd tell them to fuck off. What are they gonna do, cry on twitter about it? You think SJWs are the ones buying these games? I don't get the pandering

The boss of BioWare is still a guy, so I can only assume all of those women give fantastic blowjobs.

Long time division and destiny player here. Aside from a crap story (which isn't something I care much about anyway,) I don't understand what people are so unhappy. I haven't had any bugs or crashes and the combat is fun.

Modern Bioware is okay with following the latest trends for short term success while destroying their long term reputation. The bad thing about this is that they don't even realize the only reason they're relevant is because old Bioware actually tried to make good games instead of shallow cash grabs. New Bioware is living off of old Bioware's legacy but they're trying to do everything they can to destroy that legacy. They're doing a good job at that because Bioware is so irrelvant now that with each release people care less and less. The journalists that used to defend Bioware won't them anymore. Bioware is finished.

Holy fuck, does that character exist solely to put 56% and above "white passing" cis males in their place or something? What a emasculated beta.
