That's not good if true. Everyone should be allowed to like a game and talk about it in a positive way even if a lot of people don't like it
I think I'm just disappointed with 2019 so far.

DMC and Sekiro gonna save us in March, Days Gone and MK11 in April, and Rage 2 in May BELIEVE
Ignorance is not a defense. Five seconds of looking at his list of videos tells you everything you need to know. I posted screenshots earlier. Understanding the source of the media you're posting (and no, it doesn't matter if you weren't "the first person to post it") is a bare minimum expectation for this forum.
//edit: and you STILL haven't removed it from your post, so...
I click on videos sometimes and don't see who the source is or search to see if they're upstanding people. It happens. I had no clue who they were or he is or whatever when I heard the comment in the video I turned it off, but I watched most of the vid already. Now I know not to watch that content.
also...it just wasn't a very good video
the framing it went for was too limiting. I mean, the dude just regurgitated criticism that has been going around for awhile, and the thing that's supposed to make that interesting is it somehow subverts harmful trends across the industry and media (note: it doesn't). couching Anthem as an example of the industry's decline, cherrypicking articles and giving them the most uncharitable readings possible, the general angry tone...
one of the problems there is that there's a whole range of possible criticism (in this, I don't just mean negative criticism, but criticism as a whole) that would be so much more interesting but isn't useful to his narrow and idiotic agenda. he ends up repeating basic points that have already been made again and again, doesn't actually add anything to the discussion, and ends up just perpetuating the most shallow conception of what games criticism should look like ("this game is technically flawed and doesn't have a ton of content, therefore bad")
that's the thing with this genre of video. tends to be trite as hell (in fact that triteness is structural to the genre), doesn't actually advance the discussion at all, but somehow these people convince themselves and others they're edgy truth tellers
Lol we have way more over rumors of Nintendo Direct announcements. This is nothing
OP should definitely update their post once the majority of the reviews roll in, doesn't seem like the big outlets have dropped theirs yet.
Yeah but who else could tell the world about those FUCKING SJWS
What the hell is up with those threads anyway. Is it just people whipping themselves into a frenzy?
I'll wait for you to acknowledge that your comment suggesting that I intentionally posted something with a fleeting moment of questionable content as I "knew what they were doing" was some of the lamest, hottest, grade-A bullshit you could have ever typed with your keyboard keys, then we can discuss the matter further.
For now, I see you as little more than perhaps a frustrated individual who is having a really bad day and feeling the need to accuse and attack to vent out some frustrations. And if that's the case, I'm sorry you're having such a bad day. Mondays do suck. But there was nothing intentionally done here, which is what you very directly implied about me (lol), and you did so seemingly unironically. This was a video that was posted in the OT. I watched a few minutes of it and saw his concerns which made plenty of sense to that point and echoed many of the concerns people had with the demo and I thought it would make sense to be here as well and was doing other things while listening to the rest of video. You can hop over to the OT and see (1) it was posted there first by others and (2) nobody else noticed it either, as nobody seemed to have notice his problematic commentary there either.
Sorry I phased out and didn't notice his comments before cross-posting the video, but making these straw men and attacking your fellow posters as if they fit some imaginary description you have in your head has to go. You've gotta cool your jets, friend. Not everyone is an enemy, but this is certainly a good way to make some. And for what? I guess I'm still trying to understand your agenda. Can you handle all of that? Any of that? It's so weird that any of this has to be explained at all, but this will certainly be my last time doing so.
What? Re2 and Kh3 are already game of the year contenders, the former being a strong front runner right now. I would have put Re2 over anything I played last year. 2019 is going to be incredible for gaming.
Anthem will still sell well, EA only expects 5-6 million by March, DA4 is still happening
isn't the main Bioware group moving away from Anthem and another moving in to do the post launch support?
Oh my... just as the leaker announced in november (when he has "guessed" that Sony will not be at E3... and that has proved to be true, too)...
oh yeah, it was disingenuous of me to pretend his criticism was entirely technical when he also addressed the whiny NPCs that apparently Anita Sarkeesian herself wrote the dialogue for
clearly the man is on the cutting edge of games criticism and I apologize
I could use less bloviating about my mental state and a lot more of you just admitting you fucked up and removing the video from your post which has been universally been lambasted ITT, thanks!
Guess I'll be grabbing it when it's dirt cheap, but who knows how Warframe will evolve by then. Melee 3.0 coming soon and the new animations look superb. Speaking of, I really don't like that melee in this game looks like a small and simple thing.
Please give Bioware one more game EA. I need at least one more full Dragon Age game. And don't try to stick a new Scifi game in front of it, dangling Dragon Age in my face, threatening it will not happen if said game isn't successful.

Not a lot of reviews... but there are a LOT of impressions out there and "reviews in progress".
Gamecentral's review-in-progress sounds like the game is good but won't set the world on fire:
https://metro.co.uk/2019/02/18/anthem-review-progress-weekend-biowares-shared-world-shooter-8651132/
The first bit of the above link:
Last week was, as you may have noticed, a busy week for new video games. But why Far Cry: New Dawn, Metro Exodus, Crackdown 3, and Jump Force all thought it was a good idea to come out on the same day is a mystery, especially as they're bound to cannibalise each other's sales. The only positive is that it did help raise the profile of all concerned, which means the fact that Anthem also came out on Friday – sort of – almost got ignored.
Thanks to the bizarre way that EA sells games nowadays, with multiple release dates depending on the format and whether you pre-order or not, it's easy to get confused as to when exactly Anthem is being released. Officially it's out on Friday, February 22 (except the PC is the 21st for some reason) but it is available earlier via both EA Origin and a 10-hour EA Access preview on Xbox One. The only review access EA allowed (slightly) ahead of time is for the PC, which we were able to get stuck into over the weekend.

It's not like there aren't a ton of impressions and people who have played it.
I was watching a friend play on Twitch and the flying looks like fun, but I dislike the designs of the Javelins and how bullet spongy every single enemy is.
Indeed. If it's posted here, I just let videos roll. I assume it's fine. Outside of that 10-15 seconds of -- what is apparently quite normal for him -- unnecessary and ridiculous critique out of a 900+ second critique video, the video is a perfectly normal video featuring concerns that I would expect we'll see quite a bit more of going forward from people like Angry Joe. Clearly his channel doesn't deserve any support given his other videos, but you don't see people's other videos when you click play on a video in an Era thread. lol
Some posters, however, seem to feel the need to vent on others or better yet imply some sinister machinations and nefarious plans involved. I assume they're just having a bad day because it's the only thing I can think of for such attack. Alternatley, I guess I need to buy a Gargamel outfit or make an appearnce on Scooby Doo as the unmasked villain.
I hope you're right. I ended up enjoying my time with DA:I when I adjusted my expectations a bit and would really like to see DA4 become reality some day.
User banned (1 day): posting an inappropriate video in multiple threads + antagonizing other members over a series of posts
Reduced to "blah blah blah." Well aren't you just a peach.
Hope your day gets better! And sorry it's been so bad, man. But don't take it out on others for what are obviously very unintentional mistakes. It's unhealthy for you and ruins the opportunity for good relationships with people.
:-(
Well it looks like you might not be missing out on much at launch, and if that's the case it will be on a deep discount in a month or so.
It will interesting to see whether YTuber SkillUp's review (if it happens) will be posted here given his stance on BFV.
He does seem like a douchebag, so hope he won't get any clicks from here.
User Warned: Generalizing other members
Nintendo fans are fucking crazy. I avoid Nintendo-related threads here like the plague.
Many of Destiny's problems are because of Bungie. Activision provided a lot of support and money that Bungie will have to make up for now, but yes, Destiny has a unstable foundation in my opinion. I hope D3 would really shakes up everything we know about Destiny.
As a Nintendo fan I can say with 100% certainty that this is true.
I got a fright when I seen you quoted me. I was ready to plead my innocent and claim I'm not a Troll :p
Anyway fully agree with everything you just said.
Destiny would be better off it there was just...Destiny. A generation-free game like Warframe or World of Warcraft (but without the sub, ofc). A single foundation that they could have been building off of since OG D1's launch. Releasing a sequel and jettisoning all of the content made over the lifespan of D1 is, IMO, a big no-no as far as GaaS games and looter games go.
Ideally, I'd like Destiny 2 or a Destiny 3 to have a 10-year plan. I don't know what Anthem's long range plan is, but hopefully it's something like that.
Argh - I was really close to deciding to get it today and then I read your post, lol.
This game has been awesome so far. Success of the game long term is dependent on the content they push out. I do think the game is worth atleast premier access sub. The story is entertaining and the lore is really fleshed out.
The combat is also a ton of fun. Going from shooting a group of enemies from afar, just to fly in and unleash abilities in the air. All while seamlessly moving from one corner of the arena to the next.
People are saying the environment is bland. I love adore flying fighting enemies in this tropical environment.
