Lol I didn't realize this was made by the Ant Man. (Not to be confused with the non-far right shithead Marvel superhero)

Everything or Nothing is an awesome game and so is Nightfire.

A lot of Bond games are real good, though there are s ome that are definitely bad and when they are bad, they are really bad. poo poo like 007 Racing.

Yes! I saw everything or nothing at goodwill the other day for Xbox. But I don’t have a way of playing it (switch and PS4 over here) and got sad, I’d play it again.

Anthem early reviews are trickling in but I'm taking them with as much face value as the Destiny ones. Maybe I'm just getting old but I can't fathom another one of these "repeat unfun mission 100 times to grind for mats to make a gun, repeat ad infinitum." The flying controls for Anthem should be given to a Platinum or Sega game though because flying and moving around is killer.

Hot take on Anthem: the writing is insanely bad!

Also the game flat out needed more time to make it actually loving work. I've lost count of the number of things I've seen break watching a stream of it. Player can't even get into team missions cause it keeps loading him into the wrong area.

I'm genuinely curious why EA pushed this out right next to Apex.

I mean to be fair, EA was probably writing both off to die and just kill whoever performed the worst. Looks like it was Bioware this time.

Idk i hate the flying. The turning, overheat timer, and top speed suck and you cant even do anything cool like kick off walls or loop. Theres no sense of freedom stuck in those canyons either

Not the developers from Mass Effect 2 and 3 who are long gone, that's for sure.

if they wanted a game that was iconic then why did they go the Destiny route of naming things such generic bullshit i.e. the Darkness, The Fallen,The Conclave, The Butthole, etc. I loving hate the console MMO trend now of just using the most plain-rear end names for your world. Warframe might be the one that eschews this but only because Warframe's lore and naming is lunatic-levels of sci-fi babble.

mass effect 2. mass effect 3 was just a series of boss-like sequences that ignore the mechanical base of the game but can still kill you, and boss-like sequences where the enemy is invincible but can still kill you
