How much time will EA spend on Anthem

I'm guessing 2 minutes of "we care!" followed by a 30 second trailer of cosmetics

EA isn't doing anything this year.

I just found out they are doing a Rayman 2 speedrun prior to the Ubisoft conference

if you link your ubisoft and twitch accounts, and watch at least 30 minutes of it, they'll give you a free copy of Rayman: Origins

Me too. One of my biggest gaming disappointments. I was so into Morrowind at the time, and expected that and more. I beat the final boss, wondering "ok, when does the game begin?" And then the credits started.

Real question, did you follow the pre-release hype cycle, or did you play it a while later after it got cheap?

I followed it, didn't buy it, then got it years later when Fable 2 came out. I thought both games were great.

3 was dogshit

As stated, I was super disappointed by it. I got a job at GameCrazy a couple years after it came out and it was always a pretty good seller. People genuinely loved it. I figured that was the key to liking the series. Tested the theory with Fable 2, waited for that to hit the $20 level as a blind buy and I ended up really liking it.

Never did play Fable 3 though.

2 and a half whole minutes for Anthem? No way, they'll just show a clip or two of it in their intro and outro

Anthem looks generic enough to the fake game on a graphics card packaging.

EA has had the Star Wars license exclusively for 6 years now and they've put out 2 games in the same series. Everyone wants more Star Wars games but they're coming out at such a glacial pace.

Fallen Order sounds interesting, but I really want the license to be freed up. I kinda hope Disney goes the Games Workshop route and let's just about anyone use the license in the future. Sure there will be a lot of terrible games, but WH40k has at least gotten some fairly unique and interesting ones.

I'm not not sure I could defend them as good games per say but I always did enjoy the Fable series. I found them kinda cozy and charming even if they never had a good ending to any of them.

I do kinda wonder about the character customization though. I always liked how you went from 5 foot nothing and scrawny and just kinda slowed turned into a meat castle so that should stay in. And also they should keep the guns.

EA's never cared about what they have now. They've only cared about finding the next studio to buy and put down.

Surprisingly he could just be unlocked by a cheat code. I say surprisingly because by time the game came out I think DLC and microtransactions had pretty much run cheat codes out of town.

wild how years back I thought Ubisoft and EA were neck and neck in terms of bland poo poo being put out but then Ubisoft started giving a poo poo and have supported things like Siege/For Honor/Wildlands/Division for a really long stretch of time and did surprising things like develop AC for longer and do an XCOM Mario game. Meanwhile Anthem has been scrubbed from the E3 docket after just 3 loving months lol.
