I just think that it's amazing how they keep touting "the game world can change at any time, and we'll keep adding new content" when all they're willing to show less than a year from release is a single over-directed gameplay demo of a small dungeon.Cythereal posted:It was a joke.

Marketing budget must be a doozy because I saw a bunch of fluff pieces about Anthem.TheCenturion posted:Let’s have a ME where you’re the guy trying to destroy the galaxy. They could almost get me with a prequel where you play as either Saren or Anderson...

I should also mention that Hudson was much more forthcoming re: information about the next Dragon Age so I think that one's far enough along that it's definitely coming one way or another even if Anthem bombs.

Some details are definitely on hold since they're waiting on some key staff that'll be transferred from the Anthem team after that's finished up but a small team has been plugging away at DA4 for a few years now, apparently getting the crux of the core work done in that time. I suspect that in the worst case scenario where Anthem utterly bombs tho the team will get gutted to a bare minimum that enough work has been done to justify finishing it. That's certainly not desirable tho since that'll mean another DA title completed under a tight budget as Bioware sharts out one last title in its death throes.

I feel like the world exploration will be shallow as gently caress(think ME:A but worse) with ME: A shooting. at least destiny has funnish gameplay. doesn't help with the numbers flashing up. If i hear genuinely good things after release, i'll give it a shot but so far, it looks meh at best.

The me too strategy always works, especially when you're copying a game with low player numbers and a poor reception. That way the market isn't saturated.

I cant wait for bioware to die, they've been utter garbage for years. Dragon age was never good, mass effect was always trash and that's why Andromeda was the best one cuz at least the gameplay was halfway decent. No one will miss them. Bethesda next please

If bioware wants us to like the game they got a lot of work to do. The Bioware Austin office has managed to keep SW:TOR alive for 7 years and actually turn it around from failure after the endgame (literally only huttball) was hilariously panned at launch, but I don't know what the edmonton office has done that's been good lately. The quote from Casey Hudson about the weather changing how everything is on the planet seems pretty over-promise under-deliver like a classic Peter Molyneux moment. They also need to release actual compelling poo poo about the game, the 19 minute powerpoint slide like "gameplay trailer" was garbage. I want to see a non-scripted demo level, even if it's not lengthy, I want to see the randomness that they're praising at work. orange juche fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Jul 8, 2018 |

With unlimited flight you could do lots of interesting emergent stuff in this kind of game with swarms that intercept you midair or 200-ft. tall bosses that you fly around to fight but it looks like all the traversal is just getting to a checkpoint where the same cannon fodder bugs line up to get annihilated by your rocket launcher.

Also, this is Bioware. They're only going to get and keep Bioware's traditional fanbase if there's a decent story to this nonsense and they've been very tight-lipped about that.

You all know Bioware's not the one actually making the decisions, yes? Bioware these days is just a hand puppet on the end of one of EA's slimy black tentacles.

But Sarah Ryder found the books and is gonna do more Mass Effects even though Commander Shepard told her not to, unless the next director decides to trash that plot. I know how this works.

You gotta stop listening to bad bands and/or allowing their music to be played around you. True, people might start to mockingly call you an old, but the trade off is no more lovely music.

I feel like I'm on crazy pills when anyone calls TLJ "subversive" when everything about it just cynically and pointlessly resets the entire setup to rebels vs. empire unto eternity, because that's the only story Star Wars knows how to tell. Don't you idiots understand, NOTHING has changed! NOTHING has been accomplished in this movie's 5 1/2 hour runtime! Wake up sheeple!!

You can tell from the increasing desperation of people trying to explain how GOOD and SUBVERSIVE and RELEVANT it was, and the increasing number of people going "...Was that it?" It's just hard to admit something you loved is broken. Not that it's at all on topic in this, the thread for the healthy and viable franchise "Mass Effect", which is doing great forever.
