Turn game into a service

>Turn game into a service
>Don't provide any service
What did they mean by this?

They would literally have made more money if they released Anthem as a single player adventure game with party and co-op support.

They probably wouldn't have since the game is about 10 hours long with no post game.

bioware is actually retarded
at one point anthem fanboys were literally begging for cosmetics to buy but they had none to sell

I just wanted to be a juggernaut in a mech suit, I'm glad I didn't buy it
What a waste of assets

I think you misunderstand what games as a service means. They're basically just giving you the option to play it via subscription. In this case origin premier.

They're not saying they'll update a game forever. You just don't need to pay the full retail price to play it when you want.

You can still buy the game whole and not pay a cent after outside of cash shop.

same feel here. that flying mage frame was the tits, dropping fireballs on shit from above. most actual fun I've had in a long time

My guess is since Anthem started development after ms3, it was originally a single player game with maybe co-op but with a much stronger emphasis on the story, then EA stepped in and told then to make a multiplayer game all the while ignoring other titles like Warframe and Destiny, add to that the instability of the dev team with devs being pulled to help on other projects all the time, you get this result.

That's literally not what GaaS means. Don't open your fag mouth if you have no fucking idea what you're talking about

Fucking this. A game where you can jump in your mech suit and fly around the world was my dream game.

That's what this and Destiny are. If you auto scale and over balance to the point of stats being literally arbitrary it isn't an RPG.

It was actually BioWare's leadership that told their employees not to make comparisons to other loot shooters, apparently out of some insane desire to keep them from being too wedded to certain genre elements in their design.

It's probably why EA ended up reducing support to a skeleton crew. They were so confident they could fix the game post-release, but it was such a hot mess that every fix broke something else. Says something when a game is so broken that it can't even operate as a microtransaction platform.

test.

Will it get a taken king turnaround?

I like the flying and the combo system. Game is pretty much bare bones when it comes to everything else.

>Will it get a taken king turnaround?
>he actually believes that there are people working on this massive flop

>his smile and optimism: gone

Was it really a commercial failure tho? I know it failed to meet EA goals, but publisher goals are always rediculous. I am sure a lot of people were duped (me included).

I bought a sealed deluxe copy last week for 15 bucks.
Should I open and play it? Or keep it as a reminder along my sealed copy's of X-Men Destiny and other failed games.

The game needs some major work. Going through the start of it isn't terrible. But the guns themselves need a huge buff, It's cool that I can use my rocket and grenade every 3-5 seconds, but at that point it makes the firearms pretty much worthless.

It honestly baffles me that EA had Bioware make this shit. It's so off-brand.

Most of the bugs have been taken care of by now, there is just fuck all to do once you reach the endgame which doesn't take very long. I'd wait for the cataclysm launch.

>it surprises me that slumlords run a slum
you what?

I bought the ultra expensive version for $30. A month later, that same version was $24. I feel ripped off.

Good game

Word

you are the cancer killing gaming

That's because you were ripped off.

Acording to Schrier, all the senior staff left so they had no idea what kind of game they were even making until the E3 reveal and they were banned from comparing it to Destiny.

Sold well but like Red Dead Redemption 2 Online, the player base died instantly.
