[QUOTE=Tuck;4219641]The problem is Bioware made the game though. They have a hardcore fan base looking for a particular type of game from Bioware. It's not a traditional "Looter Shooter" release.
EA is sort of tone deaf on this. They previously forced Bioware to use an FPS-optimized engine to make their open-world RPG.
"This is what we want. You don't look like you're doing anything right now. Get on it. I don't care if you've never done it before."

Sterling in the video I posted discussed how EA comically forced Visceral as a studio to do a game that they really didn't have in its wheelhouse with a Battlefield : Hardline. That they forced the studio on it , people knew it would end up terrible and it did to no ones shock. Then EA pretty much didn't really care about Visceral .

If this keeps up Anthem is gonna be put in the same position as Fallout 76.

In fairness, people at Bioware insist EA didn't force them to make Anthem. But I do get the sense the idea was pitched because they thought it's what EA wanted.
What kind of player base does SWTOR have? That's the only thing even sort of like Anthem they've made I believe. And that was made in Austen, not Edmonton. Don't know how much of a difference that makes either.

Already troubled reports from the UK have emerged and its said that sales of Mass Effect : Andromeda were double the sales of Anthem at launch. Also its said that the game has only sold 10% of those compared to the 1st Destiny did back in 2014.

EA before the launch claimed they wanted 5-6 million copies of Anthem sold this year.

[QUOTE=Immortal Weapon;4219546]I'm a regular viewer of his videos and he isn't the type to sensationalize. If that's what he experience I believe him.[/QUOTE]
Yeah well I've posted about 5 vids here already go look at any one of them and see if you see insane loading screens,glitches ,bugs. You won't and if he's saying he's experiencing those things in last few days yeah he is lying. And talking about being teleported to his team by surprise is a damn lie that doesn't happen. Again he doesn't even sound like he knows how to play a co-op mission. I wouldn't take anyone like that serious.
I'd rather go by my own experience and the ppl I've played with and the ppl in this thread saying they are enjoying the game. Than fake gamers on youtube.

I wonder if Anthem will kick a player for playing 900+ hours and getting all kinds of ammo. That would be insanely funny if that happens on Anthem ... "He played 900 hours of Anthem and had all these weapons...so we had no choice but to kick him."

Let's never forget that it's a business, those guys say what their audience want to hear.
Never can buy a critic eh? Haha, that's rich.

Taking the Microsoft approach never works really. Not every critic has a sinister idiot motive to tank a game as much as your buying into the conspiracy of it right now. The majority of those who played the game didn't like it. They gave reviews of it. They will move onto the next game...life will go on .

Funny thing is most of what I'm hearing from ppl presently playing the game now keep saying they're enjoying it and aren't having any major issues. Those are the reviews that count. These EA hater critics don't have any credibility from the start.

That doesn't hold up as the people who critical of anthem are loving Apex, another recently released EA game. Try again next time.
