I'M ONLY HUMAN AFTER ALL

Anthem is a good game

>2x less
??? You mean half?

How long until EA sees this is a dead game and turn their sites to Apex and ruin it?

yeah this chinaman's post is super fucking confusing

apparently it both beat me3 and barely managed to sell half as much as it as well??

I'll be honest, since it's sunday i was waiting for the weekend to be over before seeing the first punches. If this is true it's really fucking bad for Bioware. In a vacuum they theoretically have time to recover and try to at least beat the losses but between this and the massacre from the reviews the only thing i can see is EA jacking off behind the execution shed.

Shame, one more competitor in this genre could have been a good thing

You're retarded.

Me3's first week sales are double Andromeda sales
Andromeda sales are double Anthem's sales

i didn't read that anthem was even involved until after i posted desu

Your*

Anthem has a cash shop, andromeda still sold 4 million copies.

I never really understood what audience exactly Anthem is even trying to get. People who like Destiny 2 will keep playing Destiny 2. People who thought it was shit will most likely not even give Anthem a chance.
Who the fuck did they think would rush to gamestops to buy that?

underrated

most of the lootershooter games have medium to long downtimes between patches or expansions. Sometimes it's months. Like for example in Destiny2 there's little to do in this very moment. People who enjoy thins genre also like to switch from one game to another during this downtimes.
I obviously assume this is valid for other genres as well

>People who enjoy thins genre also like to switch from one game to another during this downtimes
People who enjoy *this genre also like to switch from one game to another during *these downtimes

>anthem released 2 days ago
>"sold less in its first week" despite being on sale for 2 days so far
>chinaman has no evidence to support this
>chinaman knows the stats for the UK games market

Fucking YIKES, none of this is legit at all!

while your point is fair, consider the game came out technically on the 15th if you have origin premier access.
So it's been more than a week, but at the same time only 2 days on paper

It's stupid, but "first week" simply means "from the day the game came out until the end of that week", which is when sales are tallied up.

Except IIRC the anthem pre-play stuff was Origin Access only, which didnt mean you had to buy the game

Additionally that started on the 15th, whereas the official launch date for the game was the 22nd

I thought the game released like a week or two ago? people have been playing it.

"From the day of which the game came out"

Which was the 22nd

You could play the game a week before its official launch if you had Origin Access on PC

Yes, so it's just two days of sales in this case. Of course the comparison with Andromeda makes no sense if that wasn't also released on a Friday.

ITT: we laugh at anthem

He's comparing a weeks sales number compared to 2 days sales number

If it got half in 2 days (ME:A sold 5mil total), then Anthem is gonna meet its sales target of 6mil

but that goes against the narrative

what are we gonna do bros??

I know! Ill say I was blacklisted by EA for giving a negative review!

Flop and flopper

>Bioware's B team works on Andromeda
>Fucks it up, somehow putting the franchise back on ice again if not killing it
>Bioware's A team works on Anthem, when they should've been doing Andromeda
>Somehow fucks up even harder than the B-Team did on Andromeda

Is Bioware fucked now? Anthem had to be expensive as shit. At least Andromeda sold well enough.

>ME:A sold 5mil total

source?

EA won't get rid of Bioware because they have become the defacto PR department for them. Even if there is another controversy they can always trot out Bioware shit as proof of how "progressive" they are.

>UK
And?

What a warm, comfy dumpster fire.

cuck cope

Borderlands 2 is still the best looter shooter of the decade

Now that Anthem flopped BioWare should add romances. I'll buy their shit game if they add romances.

what's stopping EA from turning BW into a department of community managers replying to customers with silly faces and emojys?

flippity floppity time to dissolve that property

sjw devs cant make a decent game.

Good, a bad company, makes a bad game, and it fails. Faith in the game industry: slightly restored. Even though I know it won't make a difference. Even thought they will either just fire some people to save money, or learn nothing from this. Either way, I want this trend to continue until they either actually make good games, or fucking go under and die off at last.

>buying physical copies in 2019
listen i hate both andromeda and anthem as much as the anyone here, but this data could also just mean less and less people are buying retail

This can't be happening anthembros.

It's not confusing in the slightest you brainlet

>the only thing i can see is EA jacking off behind the
we can only hope
>Shame, one more competitor in this genre could have been a good thing
not a shame at all, hope the genre dies asap

we just have to wait a week. If the sales are exceptional we'll see it spammed everywhere by biodrones and ea marketers. If by the end of this week everything is silent you'll know the game is dead.

>the only thing i can see is EA jacking off behind the execution shed.*

>andromeda sold more than double - double what, i just said in my post (that you didn't read because YOU'RE the brainlet) that i didn't know that anthem was in this system of equations. fuck you faggot, don't fucking step to me you little bitch. you think i want to make this post? you think i was happy when i saw the notification that a little twerp like you had replied to me? i'm training my fucking wits over here homie, watching that street fighter, learning from Daigo, what the fuck are you doing? sitting on your balls, scratching your ass, perhaps?

Physical is irrelevant these days and EA are unlikely to release digital numbers, ESPECIALLY if it's as bad as everyone is expecting.
We'll literally never know.

Good. Bioware needs to be destroyed

well, we will know because this game is pretty much do or die for "bioware" rotted corpse

>physical sales

meaningless...hint: people buy more physical copies of single player games

Well, as someone else mentioned, we'll get exact numbers if they're good.
Otherwise, Bioware's rotting corpse will be the only evidence.
Since the game is Origin exclusive, EA have sole access to the sales figures.

DON'T PUT THE BLAME ON ME.

There is no "B Team" or "A Team"
That was just EA damage control
BiowEAre is just shit

It's not irrelevant at all. Firstly, physical is still pretty popular on console. Secondly, the decrease in physical sales will be more or less the same as the decrease in digital, since digital sales can't have increased that much in 2 years.

faulty logic based on an uneducated, valueless presumption

I was hoping it would be good enough to at least have another looter style game during D2 down periods. Oh well. How is MHW?

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces

have any proof that it's not the case? I see no reason to believe they did

>How is MHW?
It's most casual friendly Monster Hunter ever. AND THAT'S A GOOD THING. (unironically)

t. ESL

Gays and feminists die?

>2x less
mathlet detected, it's not possible to have more of less of something

Are "Looter shooters" a shit subgenre?
All of them are either mediocre or down right terrible.

Remember when ME3 came out and Bioware yelled at everyone who thought the ending was lazy and told them not to buy their games? I remember.

Looting games are garbage in general.
>Muh RNG item dopamine rush

I only tried Destiny and it is worst game I played this gen.

It's over guys.
Bioware is completely finished. There's no way around it, EA is going to defunct the studio.

I want to feel sad, but at the same time I honestly really can't. This was a self-inflicted suicide done by themselves. A once beloved studio that made a complete legacy for themselves as masters of storytelling, instead fell into the social justice pit and ended up churning up crap that nobody wanted instead of creating beautiful, rich stories that they had excelled at.

Sorry Bioware, I'm neither happy or sad that you're closing and vanishing.

Just disappointed.

Disappointed at the once loved memory of your studio and your games.

Guess this is goodbye then.

Release dates are a social construct, sweetie. If Anthem identifies as having come out on the 22nd then it did.

>they actually thought a game like dead space could have mass appeal

I’m honestly not sure who was more retarded.

He's not Chinese you fucking retard, he's some sandnigger in California.

bioware already went full damage control and nerfed the droprate kek.

the division is good

>Looter shooter with 2 armor sets and six (6) weapon models in the entire game.

What the fuck has Bioware been doing this past 6 years?

Yes, the entire subgenre relies on microtransactions and pay to win schemes, all of them have terrible combat and mechanics and all of them are boring to play with low tier content. It’s a mindless timesink for jobless losers, drug addicts, and subpar YouTube channels whose “careers” dictate they cover the disaster far longer than they’re actually played. Their playerbases abandon the games in a matter of weeks every time.

lmao, The Division is trash.

There's a kernel of a good concept in there but the genre is also heavily linked with milking whales so the mechanics are wrapped around that.

DON'T PUT THE BLAME ON ME

>Bioware B team
man you fall for the meme there's 1 studio

Didn't DS3 sell like 3 million, best in the series? They leashed VIsceral to inferior properties after their biggest success because it wasn't big ENOUGH, and they could theoretically gain more profit if they used the devs to make shitty spinoffs of other IPs. That proceeded to not happen because surprise, spinoffs don't sell that much.

all these companies literally just need to do third-person diablo and that's it.

why these fucks keep messing up fundamental game design philosophies (no text chat? in a game advertised a group oriented? what the nigger?) is beyond me.
