I uninstalled it

Maybe after this game turns out to be really really good in 9 months y'all can scroll back to this post and be like "Sho Nuff is a real motherfucker"

Pretty much, also Bioware has been shit for a decade now almost (Mass Effect 2 -2010 last great game)

Think its safe to say that they are now a has been company like Blizzard

They forgot to enable SSE 4.1 support so game wont boot for me lol

This fails the first test of games for me, which is "do you have to play with other people"

You don't have to play with other people though...? You can have activities use matchmaking or not

enemy HP is balanced for squad detonation combos, SP is not a fun time

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #12 on:** February 02, 2019, 09:52:00 AM »

I'll just buy some animu game on the Switch this month instead.

demi · « **Reply #13 on:** February 02, 2019, 09:52:11 AM »

That's a shame - I'll be buying it on Xbox if anyone here decides to get it

duckman2000 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 02, 2019, 10:23:50 AM »

The balance is supposedly different in the actual game, so as to not fuck over people soloing it. The demo feels great when you have a good squad... with mics on.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #15 on:** February 02, 2019, 11:02:34 AM »

I mean most games are fun if played by a group of friends so thats not saying much?

Kept pressing Quick Launch on the map screen while highlighting where I was told to go.... Nothing was happening.. Uninstalled. Not sure why I wasted my time again knowing I'm not going to get this at launch.

It's high time for new hardware so that this self-inflicted problem can be fixed.

nachobro · « **Reply #20 on:** February 02, 2019, 07:35:36 PM »

Yeah it definitely runs like shit on PC.

I like the flying though

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #21 on:** February 02, 2019, 08:17:54 PM »

How many worlds the size of the demo environment are in this game at launch?

nachobro · « **Reply #22 on:** February 02, 2019, 08:26:38 PM »

was gonna play the demo some more but i've been booted out 3 times just trying to do freeplay, so i guess not

also i guess a bunch of the pc graphics settings don't actually do anything

nachobro · « **Reply #23 on:** February 03, 2019, 01:22:33 AM »

finally got the game to work...by playing it on xbox.

ran through a few missions and its kinda fun, shooting feels good but still a bit stiff but it feels better once you loot some better gear. there's some customization in it too, i was able to make a decent looking Raider mech

Bioware, EA, multiplayer, heavy monetization... this game seems to have a combination of everything that would turn me off a game.

Positive Touch · « **Reply #28 on:** February 03, 2019, 12:44:09 PM »

this game feels like something that should've came out in 2014 or 15 my god. i can't believe how fucking bland it all feels.

Ya, all the Infinity Engine remasters were done by Beamdog, which was founded by former Bioware dudes Trent Oster and Cameron Tofer.

Anthem already getting out hyped by Apex Legends

Nintex · « **Reply #39 on:** February 04, 2019, 03:41:25 PM »

Can't believe EA send Anthem to die. After they send Mass Effect: Andromeda to die.
They could've just sat on the game for a few months to not launch it at the same time as Apex Legends.

benjipwns · « **Reply #40 on:** February 04, 2019, 04:21:59 PM »

I think they're thinking it's two separate markets.

Black Ops IIII couldn't prove there's multiple markets in the BR/FPS split because it was the same game.

nachobro · « **Reply #41 on:** February 04, 2019, 04:24:15 PM »

i think a pve only loot shooter is appealing to a different market than a 3v3 pvp only BR game

IIRC they still practiced part-time until like around Jade Empire or something

Augustine Yip is also a MD

At least one or more of them went back to doctoring after the EA-buyout, from what I remember.

They mentioned they are working on Dragon Age 4 at the game awards.

Edit: Unless you're looking for more like Dragon Age Origins. Then it's probably better to look at Obsidian, Inxile or Larian's output.

Anthem seems to have had a reverse hype cycle. The closer it gets to release the less hype it has.

Anthem is this month? I thought it was years away

Kind of funny to hear its still so rough
