Early Gamer This is true I still remember the earlier days of 2013 when joe was younger and had more energy when doing his reviews DMC devil may cry’s review was so hilarious it still makes me laugh even today and it’s now 6 years later joe is waaayyy to serious nowadays. I honestly blame EA and it’s investors for games like these everything they touch is bad news we all know BioWare wants to give us fans a new Star Wars knights of the old republic but because EA wants to please its investors it’s unlikely we will ever see another game like that as they shut down any company that decides to go off and make a decent game with story sad times indeed for the gaming industry.

Not ATF well 1. Witcher 3 is single player which doesn’t require the same type of development. 2. It’s probably the frost bite engine.

I would just like to reassure everyone that this video is 100% up to date....even 5 months later. Edit: Going towards 7 months and the cataclysm is the exact same mission over and over again - same enemies, same place, same time. Core issues with the game are still not addressed. Edit 2: Going towards 8 months. Post cataclysm the game has been abandoned by the developers for the remainder of the year... more news in 2020 Final edit: overhaul announced, eta unknown. Will the game be built upon or will it be scrapped, we do not know. In any case, pre order and first month buy is out of the question. Ultimate edit: Chris just left the anthem team and no one is taking his place. 99% sure the rework of anthem got canceled. There is no more hope, the anthem project is dead. Maximum Ultimate edit: Anthems future hangs in the balance as EA holds meetings to decide if the 2.0 will continue to be worked on or not. More news next week. Edit 9999999: There won’t be any further development efforts for anthem. F BioWare and F EA!

EA forces them to cram in terrible business practices into their games. 4. The game rightfully gets panned and criticized for it's rush of development and bad business practices. 5. The developer does this for the few next years. 6. The developer fails because of what EA did, EA no longer sees them as useful and destroys them. Dice and Bioware are next on the chopping block.

Borderlands 2 was the only game that did the looter shooter right on day one. All the DLC they added were bonuses that added to the already complete experience, not added to *finish* the game.

It sounds like people who know nothing about gameplay did this. I mean really? On the LAST shot? Sure it lasts 20 seconds but you have to literally empty your magazine before getting any use out of that and that's on a legendary. Recoil also barely matters.

[@Ninjamaster227-]

The 0% flamethrower for 0 seconds is what lost me

[@Neox999]

For twenty seconds. And stacks 2 times. It's a buff you get. I guess it would be great on weapons with awful recoil and small magazine sizes. If it takes less than 10 seconds to empty a whole magazine and to reload the weapon you would have zero recoil for all magazines after the first 2 (in case you never stop firing). It does make sense and could be useful. But if it's actually useful in that case I can't say (no idea how any of the weapons work in the game).

[@WikiTora]

If that stacks times two, you can have zero recoil by your third magazine. If there's another passive that can reduce reload speed, maybe for each crit and stack tenfold, it could be interesting during long fights.

Once again, I can't help thinking that they must have completely restarted the development couple of years ago. Something went terribly wrong and they had to start from the beginning with it. This game is what they could do in some 24 months or so, and the rest is coming within the next 24 months. Like some huge technical problem underlying the entire game that forced them to build it from scratch again. There is no way this game has seen 6 years of caring and loving from it's developers. No way! And we're talking about Bioware here, not some random rookie indie developer team. Something isn't right here. I can smell it in the air, and feel it in the ground, yet it's hidden from our eyes. The disaster of Anthem, which brought Bioware down.

I'm not sure what Bioware's 2 main studios did the first 4 years of Anthem's "6 years development" but its visuals, game play mechanics and even bugs clearly indicate a version 2 of ME: Andromeda.

[@linusdn2777]

That's not even true. Stop spreading lies. Andromeda was in development since me3

[@TaigaGaoo]

@@linusdn2777 It's not a lie. Go Watch the interviews EA and Bioware gave when Andromeda released. A TLDR would be: Bioware team B got 60m and 4 years to develop Andromeda but the general management of that team was utter shit. So they wasted those 60m and 3 years of development. After 3 years of excuses EA got pissed and gave them the deadline. Without money nor time they outsourced a ton of the work to other companies, the most notable one was the animations, hence why the faces were so horrible. Andromeda, the final product, was made in just a bit over a year. Andromeda and now Anthem is one of the few instances where EA wasn't Satan, but did what literally any company would have done after spending millions for years on a project and not seeing any progress. At that point you either release the product, no matter how it is and try to salvage what you can or you shut it down and 100% lose all the money put into it. I hate EA as much as the next guy, but you can't say with a straight face that this was EA's doing after they gave so much money and time to Bioware to develop their games and still failed.

Annnnnd Anthem is now officially dead! What a shame and I enjoy the gameplay flying around the map but that's about it. Bye bye Anthem

[@SolarDragon007]

Good riddance.

[@newyork9923]

running with the colossus was oddly satisfying; I felt like a huge tank and the flying was fun like you said but the missions were so repetitive and guns felt reskinned for the most part. What a shame indeed the game had so much potential.

[@chickenchowman2692]

EA: thanks for your money, bye bye!
