Anthem Review Thread

Chasing that multiplayer GAAS money, even though that's the last thing they're good at. It's like if Naughty Dog made a puzzle game.
Holy shit looking at the bug list on reddit. Random game breaking stuff. People are loosing loot after missions? That's basically unplayable.
I would not like to be a bioware dev right now. The higher ups are gonna burn them alive and blame them for everything.

I mean, Naughty Dog did do a pretty great job when they decided to make a racing game...
the DA2/ME3 dev cycle caused a ton of talent to leave, it was apparently a horrible time.
finally finished the video, never seen Joe so angry
it's going to get 1/10
I read that there is only like 3 or 4 models per weapon type ? Is this true ? Do Masterwork/Legendary weapon (basically Purple and Yellow quality from Destiny) have unique models ?

This video will answer the question for you. But unless you're holding onto hope that there is good news waiting for you on this front - nope, there aren't any unique models for the higher tier weapons.
There is some coolness factor at play here. The mechs look really cool. The Division 2 will probably be a better game but none of it's visuals look as attractive as Anthem.
So I heard this street rumor that Anthem was suppose to be a single player game at first, and was changed to this. A bunch of Bioware devs were not happy with the changes and joined Ubisoft and they worked on the recent Assassin's Creed games.
I've no idea if this is true, but I'm really curious about the story behind this game. Hopefully journalists are doing their work.

This game needs a Realm Reborn style reboot. Seeing my friend keep getting stuck in the Fort Tarsis is just sad.
A loading screen just to inform you you got disconnected. lol

I agree with both those points. I think it will end up selling extremely well.
Probably see more reviews drop during or shortly after the global release date.
The Division 2 at least has some variety in its map and some fairly unique areas within it. For the life of me I can't remember a single identifiable landmark in Bastion other than the Fortress of Dawn. There is a real, real issue with monotony in this game.
I mean, as someone who thinks the Division setting looks boring as hell, there are still at least 3 other science fiction looter shooters I could be playing before Anthem.
I mean, that's just the difference between a sci-fi game and a military game.
The Division 2 definitely looks better visually, especially when you take into account animations and all that.
Anthem's still got that Bioware jank with all its animations.
Who cares about ign? They're the laughing stock of the industry.
What? The game is disappointing, but a RR level reboot is essentially new game. Everything in 14 1.0 was a mess, from combat to the UI to world design. There are pieces of a good game in anthem. The game is easily salvageable, the hope everyone has is that they knew this going in and already have a plan. If biowares heads are up it's own ass and they needed reviews and streamers to call them out on their shit, then I can only see fundemental system changes coming far far too late.
I think they're running a lot of anthem promotions, so I'm going to assume they're most likely to play nice to EA and hold their review off until they have time to look at the game after this patch.
I also have a feeling IGN gives a relatively high score. (and by relatively high, I'm guessing a 7.5)
Studios change with time. The experienced folk who made those classics you love move onto to other studios, other projects, and such. I can't remember who said this, but I've found this quote a fair assumption of things: "You're only as good as the last game you make."
So I heard this street rumor that [poorly reviewed game] was suppose to be/have [feature] at first, and was changed to this. A bunch of [poorly reviewed game's development studio] devs were not happy with the changes and joined [random publisher or developer] and they worked on [game that has previously mentioned feature].
I've no idea if this is true, but I'm really curious about the story behind this game. Hopefully journalists are doing their work.
I also got jank from The Division 2 beta. I'm not saying both are perfect but Anthem's mech designs and movement looked interesting.

There definitely was some weird animation stuff here and there, that's for sure. But the map was discernible and every area didn't look like every other area (mostly), so that's a positive.
i will gladly post the Sapphire R series graphic cards ad again:
since the first reveal i immediately thought of graphic card packaging when seeing the javelins.
IGN and the rest are probably waiting to see if the patch does anything.
Not sure it's a conspiracy....

Would EA be crazy enough to shoot Bioware in the back? How many studios do they have left that's not DICE, Respawn or the Sports Devs.
EDIT: I forgot they are making Dragon Age something, so I guess they get to continue working for now.

I'm pretty sure that was Dr Greg Zeschuk, now retired Bioware founder.
EA's next course of action will be to buy more devs. Maybe they'll buy up Larian. Make a GAAS Divinity game.
Unless EA wants to be one step away from being a sports studio I doubt they would do it.
This is funny ever timei will gladly post the Sapphire R series graphic cards ad again:

LMAO, i'm relieved i wasn't the only one to notice this.
Because it's an online MMO-shooter type game and more often game sites try to hold off on a review score and do more of an ongoing rolling coverage of an online focused game due to the propensity of patches and also sometimes early server performance issues so that they don't have to re-write sections later and can avoid all the comments of 'They gave it a 6?! But the problems they complain about aren't even problems anymore!' or from players who come in post some of the issues being resolved and complain about what they consider incorrect information even if it was correct at the time.
Some of these online-action RPG hybrids aren't even the same game months later than they were at launch which has gotta be annoying if you're meant to review it.
Lol, I don't even hate these designs.i will gladly post the Sapphire R series graphic cards ad again:

That's really going to be something when the reviews in progress published on some sites update and proclaim that the game is even worse than when they started writing.
Lol, I remember when people complaining Destiny 2 have too much reskin and not enough weapon models, and in that game purple-quality weapon use new models you didn't see when you are levelling (I'm pretty sure non of the Green/Blue weapons model reused for Purple weapons)....
What really hurts is that Bioware seems to be really confident with the game, with how open and transparent they are leading up to release.
I loved the demo, and loved my 10 hour trial. I just pray that it sells well enough for them to continue to really invest time to get it running properly. Sucks that the game is so buggy right now, but I'm gonna have fun getting my Javelins powered up for 6 months from now when the game is actually complete.
At least we'll get next gen non-EA Star Wars games after 2022 and 3-5 years later XD
So even - and I'm just genuinely curious - playing the same strongholds over and over holds your interest?
Have Bioware/EA made any statement regarding the amount of data that the game reads from the hard disk in a relatively short period of time? I have honestly never seen something so nutty before, as if it's writing straight to the disk, then reading it, instead of just using memory.
Ridiculous that anyone in the industry thinks this would be the case.
