Funny you mention PUBG as Fortnite does seem to be cutting into their userbase. Probably because the BR mode is free to play. Which is also the only way a Destiny clone might have a chance. Even if Destiny 2 flopped due to publisher greed, Anthem probably needs a lower entry barrier to work, but it'll likely be the full AAA price dye to its budget. And it is very likely to kill the shambling skeleton of Bioware.

Nasgate posted:This is mostly where I come from. 2 is a great game executed poorly. DA:I is a poo poo game executed professionally. Origins is an okay game executed archaically. Also, since the Dragonlance ripoff blight plot wasn't the main plot in 2, it's automatically better story wise than the other two. Da2 has no good things except the concept. Every character is awful, the combat is some kf the shittiest I've ever seen in a big budget game, the encounter design is hosed, there is basically no plot and what is there sucks. Should I side with the military or the mages who are literally all evil murderers including their leader what a loving dilemma

EA being the lovely vultures they are trying to rip off a already shallow francise which they will only make worse because of their lootbox bullshit.

My hope for anthem is that without the 'Destiny PvE sandbox is PvP sandbox' or Division 'pvp sandbox is inherently unbalanced unless it's 4v4 battles and then it's just kinda loving lame' that the Anthem PvE can just focus on being fun. It's a slim hope I know but maybe just maybe it will happen.

The thing that puts Dragon Age 2 at the top of my list of worst games i've ever played list is how absolutely insulting it is to the player. The game is so lazy, there's about 4 actual screens where combat happens: Hallway, Cave, Rockey Ravine and City Exterior. They just move what doors are open in each around. For every loving encounter. The combat is lazy, which comes from their want to get away from "hard RPGs" which "No one wants that kind of game" (In a year Witcher 2 and Dark Souls both came out to near-universal acclaim) The writing is lazy, but that's just bioware. Even the ending is lazy poo poo. I never met their self-insert-mary-sue-darling the Pirate Lady in the game as I stopped carring and just wanted to end the game, and at the end is has my character vanishing off into the sunset "with her best friend", the pirate lady, who i didn't even know existed at the time. That put a perfect cap on that insanely poo poo game after the "BLARGH IM EVILLLLLLLL" blood mage dragon ball z end fight.

In other RPG news Ash of Gods is out... And has way more C&C than anything Bioware put to date. Its soundtracks are made by the same guys whom made the Witcher3 tracks. Absolutely superb. Only an hour In but I like it alot! Just listen to this loving track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA830fJSH30

Ash of Gods is so similar to Banner Saga it's surprising they aren't being sued. The art style themes and plot structure are practically identical.

I swear their characters even match up, vaguely or otherwise, based on some screenshots I've seen. I imagine it falls into that grey area where overwhelmingly obvious 'influence' and 'inspiration' doesn't quite hit copyright infringement as they haven't used any assets or whatever.

Casey Hudson posted:That experience ultimately became a defining moment in refocusing BioWare’s mission. We need to delight players with new experiences and innovation, but we must stay focused on the importance of the world, character, and storytelling elements that players expect from our games. And our games must be designed to continue delivering new stories and experiences, in an ongoing relationship with players in the worlds we’re evolving together. Translation: We've scuttled absolutely everything else in favor of Anthem, our lifestyle forever game with microtransactions.

I mean XCOM 2 does really well at slapping a bunch of premade sections together to create a unique mission every time, it shouldn't be difficult to do something similar with FPSs anymore. Hell, you could even incorporate micro transactions easily
