Why I Barely Care About ANTHEM

[@thejackman687]

This looks so incredibly generic. I can't get hyped anymore by "you can go anywhere", " highly customizable", and "total freedom".

[@Pewdiepie123-l4y]

Yeah like sometimes a good old fashioned linear experience is good enough for me

[@Pewdiepie123-l4y]

Just a strong story and a substantial campaign and I'm happy

[@terra9672]

The JackMan The only 2 game developers that I now get excited when they say these typical lines would be Rockstar Games and Nintendo. Rockstar because GTA worlds are always PACKED to the brim with content and Red Dead is also like this. And Nintendo because with their recent Zelda release and Super Mario Odessy coming out, they have proven themselves to be able to make some incredible open worlds.

[@strawman5300]

Terra even rockstar looks bleak to me. Most of the content in gta 5 is multiplayer and repetetive af. And If you have seen any news about rockstar lately id be suprised If you still trust them.

[@aziz6039]

I just can't get into these types of massive multiplayer games. I tried out destiny, didn't like it. I got the division, didn't like it. The idea of an epic adventure where you, and only you, are the badass hero/protagonist just appeals to me much more. As soon as I heard that bioware's new IP was labeled as a "destiny killer", I knew it wouldn't be for me.

[@N5FX]

I don't see how people still shit on Destiny, yes it had a horrible launch as a video game but after 3 years it got more than 30 Million monthly active players that each of them invested more than 600 hours on the game (1113 Hours for me) I mean i got the worth of my well spent money which not a lot of games do these days, last game i spent 100 of hours on is skyrim.

[@aziz6039]

I don't know about you, but I miss the good ole days when games were released when they are actually COMPLETE. Now most games are a work in progress even when they are supposedly "ready for launch".

[@inkpoison8395]

Feel the same way just can't get in to multiplayer love my single player games

[@N5FX]

Yeah i understand that, the last game that had good coop and story was borderlands. But what you should understand that we're on a new era where multiplayer is the new thing not story, developers now choose Story or Multiplayer to work fully on, destiny had a short story but a shit ton to do in coop that's why it's still alive after 3 years and it's heading on a sequel. The first day people bought destiny expected story and thats why they were dissapointed

[@A12683]

,,You didn't like it.'' Well, you bought it, so job done. Don't give a fuck if you liked it or not. Cash spent, that's all that matters these days.

[@Lava_Plays]

Why I barely care about Anthem? I barely care because when the teammates were taking to each other I got Destiny and The Division PTSD from their trailers. For me personally, trailers like these are a big red flag ATM for me and most likely many others.

[@LoGiCGaMeR1335]

OG_Gamester_ The Mic chatter was literally the Mic chatter in the Division E3 Demo!

[@Boniushimself]

Better than the rainbow six siege chatter from E3 demo

[@LoGiCGaMeR1335]

Alex Moore true

[@Hanja45]

OG_Gamester_ I've enjoyed Destiny and am looking forward to Destiny 2

[@drogon2988]

OG_Gamester_ You people love both those games right? You probably quit and never gave The Division another chance like tons of others. I went back 6 months later. it's actually a great game now with tons to do.

[@TheDarkblue57]

Xbox: (Allows original xbox games to be played on xbox one) Bethesda: did somebody say... Morrowind?

[@burton5131]

Tyler O'Toole I hope to god

[@gordlord561]

I have no doubt it will be playable on Xbox one, it will be awesome as fuck!

[@tech6985]

I can only imagine how bad the user interference was for morrowind on xbox

[@nuriel1825]

Well, I'd rather have them make a Morrowind remastered than try to sell Skyrim again. At least Morrowind is a game people WANT remastered.

[@TheDarkblue57]

Bethesda: What's that? You want elder scrolls legends heroes of Morrowind? well then, today's your lucky day.

[@Gbag34]

This games has me CURIOUS, not EXCITED. Now more than ever we should all be on the lookout to be absolutely sure to not make a regretful purchase in what feels like the video game apocalypse.

[@Pewdiepie123-l4y]

Personally gaming has never been better. Yes there are some scummy things going on and yes some types of games (good AAA RPGs) are going away but there is just so much Quality hidden amongst the terrible attention receiving minority (mass affect)

[@haydend.2678]

What we need to do as gamers is not preorder. When we preorder the greedy companies get their money either way so they half-ass a game. Then we need to watch 3 plus reviews by trusted reviewers and watch some gameplay. Then you should make an informed decision. Instead the companies release clones of the previous game every year and people buy it because it has the COD label or whatever series it is. We need to get the big companies to use some innovation and make original games instead of having the same mechanics and gameplay over and over again. Hit them where it hurts: The Wallet.

[@KripticKill]

Hayden Durand It's not really about pre-ordering its about buying the game period. Don't buy these half assed games at all. Spend your money carefully and think outside your comfort zone of video games. right now the only games I truly still come back to is anything the from software makes, overwatch.... and that's pretty much it. I go back to certain old games once in a while but that's it. I even like mass effect 3 and Andromeda's horde mode a lot.

[@BillBilliamson]

Yeah, it's just such a weird time for gaming because it's not like we aren't getting good games or even worse games overall necessarily but you can help but the notice when older studios like bioware and Bethesda make games that detract a lot in their sequels from what made their games great. Then you look at micro transactions and pre order culture and you really just start to wonder how so many people just buy into certain games when all you really have to do is skip out on a few games and stick to old ones that will probably be just as good, if not better, than new to have better games overall

[@Gbag34]

I'm not saying that gaming is dead. As one of you mentioned, gaming is the best it's ever been. The problem is that the industry is massive now. Everyone has a game console in their home now. A lot of these massive companies don't have to try to make an amazing game to get sales numbers anymore. Gaming is so huge on a global scale now that all that matters is a good enough marketing campaign to have people pre order. They don't even need to try to make great games like they used to. They can make a terrible game and still make boat loads of money off of us. One of you mentioned micro transactions and that is the death of video games. I'm not saying that it's going to make nobody buy them, or that it's going to make developers stop making games or anything. They are making video games not fun. So many games are adopting these random loot boxes and other micro transactions. If this keeps up it will ruin everything. The problem is that when you play a game the primary thing is to achieve something. To win, unlock or conquer something. Now we have games that you spend $80 on, then another $100 for them to beat it for you. You just paid Activision $180 to buy their game, and then beat it for you. You now have no purpose owning that game, good job! All I'm saying is this is ruining the sense of achievement in games because even if you DONT buy micro transactions and they are an option, your achievements don't feel as good as they used to. The pride, fun and joy of completion is gone now that you can just pay for it.

[@mudcrabmenace8534]

Why I barely care about Anthem? I barely care because its a Destiny clone thats being made instead of a Star Wars RPG, which everyone has wanted for over a decade

[@dylanb3283]

Mudcrab Menace The Visceral game is coming, just be patient.

[@mudcrabmenace8534]

The game is supposedly in the style of Uncharted, so it wont be a Star Wars RPG...still should be good though, just not a RPG I believe...I mean there were rumors of open world and RPG elements, but idk

[@constanzabestest]

That's because Bioware want some of that money Destiny is making. You know how it is in triple A industry these days... They don't care about developing unique and original games anymore. All they care about is stealing ideas from other successful games and implement them in their own. Why do you think DA:Inquisition plays completely differentfrom Origins and II? Because Bioware wanted Skyrim audience.

[@haterzzbehatinn]

Mudcrab Menace there are 3 more star wars games coming. Calm down

[@bradleythompson5531]

Mudcrab Menace I know the feeling. Almost all my favourite franchises are either dead, dying, in limbo, or in a serious rut. Diablo - 3 sucked. Who knows when we will get a sequel, or if it will be any good. Always online DRM bullshit. Starcraft - 2 was the same as the first, but 3D, with a worse story, and we had to pay for it three times to get all the campaigns. Plus always online DRM bullshit. Warcraft - Fifteen years since Reign of Chaos. Still no sequel. Fuck you World of Warcraft. Halo - Has been getting slightly worse every game since Halo 2. Fable - Got worse with each sequel and then died. Duke Nukem - Hail to the former King. Half Life - .... Neverwinter Nights - No new title anywhere in sight. Kotor - You were the chosen one. Mass Effect - Meh since Mass Effect 2. Dragon Age - Sequels were okay. But strayed too far from what made the original great. Who knows when we get another sequel. The Elder Scrolls - Bethesda hasn't even started it. Six years after Skyrim. Morrowind is still my favourite. They seem to be taking more and more freedom and choice away from the player with every sequel. Fallout - 4 was okay. But it didn't capture the Fallout experience very well. New Vegas was a true Fallout game. 3 wasn't much better than 4. Zelda - Breath of the Wild is great, and the DLC will be cool. But I really want another awesome Zelda game in the style of Ocarina and Majora's. One that will finally surpass them both.

[@connorcooke4040]

Looks generic and visually uninteresting to me but to each their own.

[@TheDarkblue57]

it's so weird how something that's clearly trying so hard to be original feel so supremely generic

[@drogon2988]

Connor Cooke Anthem looks generic? lmfao.

[@ethans7588]

+Cry About It Well my first impression was Destiny on James Cameron's Avatar.

[@painovoimaton]

I do like the look of the power armour, be it generic or not.

[@rickymartin4457]

Connor Cooke Ikr! Just like one of those million other samey "cool" and "epic" environmental designs with jagged mountains, n' waterfalls running down and jungles and shiet, you can find doing a quick google search.

[@tohrak7540]

This game will be the biggest downgrade the world has ever seen.

[@thejackofblades6020]

Tohrak destiny 2 will be its pretty much the exact same thing as the first it just continues with a shot story that no one cares about and new loot ooooooooo

[@Hanja45]

The Jack Of Blades The story will most likely be longer, from what Destiny has shown their is actually a story there now

[@camerongodsey9847]

Armchair Developing at its finest.

[@snazzyfeathers]

Nah. No Man's Sky had a gigantic downgrade from what was promised to what actually ended up being in the game. Nothing will be bigger than that.

[@bailaohu7819]

The Witcher 3, Aliens Colonial Marines, Dark Souls 2 and Killzone 2 were not Ubisoft games. A promise is a comfort to a fool. You can be interested in generic 3rd person looter shooter no. 3 if you want, but for your own good you'd best drop graphical expectations on par with what's shown. Remember that shit will be on consoles...you think the fucking ps4pro can run a game of that size with those graphics? Fuck, even on pc you'd probably need a $1500 card alone to be able to run that shit at 60fps.

[@jolori4422]

bioware are the mario guys right?

[@nuriel1825]

No, they're the Sonic guys.

[@Astralify]

They are the "whoever-you-want-them-to-be" guys. Total loss of identity.

[@ianrocha4896]

BioWare the studio should be ignored - the people responsible for the old school BioWare games are gone, and that is who you need to pay attention to. The studio itself has been hollowed out and stuffed full of affordably competent replacements that aren't invested in it to capitalize on the BioWare brand like with so many others.

[@ianlenn5408]

Logical Phallusy what. How is that in any ways related to this?

[@MultiDiarmuid]

+Logical Phallusy At this point, people like you have turned the word sjw into a logical fallacy.

[@alfredong6850]

Finally well said. But out of curiosity, where have all the veterans gone to?

[@ladydominion8632]

The Dragon Age studio probably has the most original people left if any studio does

[@AoEValcar]

Wow, I didn't know Destiny invented the loot system, fps genre AND the sci-fi fantasy genre!

[@dustinstone5188]

The Traitor Teyrn finally someone who was thinking what I was. I honestly don't see very many similarities between anthem and destiny

[@ianlenn5408]

Dustin Stone same. They see some sort of alien, a guy in futuristic gear, and a loot system and think that Destiny is the only template for these kinds of games.

[@gabrielferreiraalves7929]

The Traitor Teyrn But Destiny still represents the worst aspects of FPS, Randomized loot and the Sci-fi fantasy genre.

[@harrisonbowie684]

gabriel ferreira alves the loot system on destiny is something that people love and hate. I personally like it because I like to grind for specific gear because it feels so rewarding when you finally get it.

[@toddhitler4208]

Well, it isn't made by me so that pretty much guarantees it is going to be garbage. BTW, Matty you're supposed to be my fanboy so why are you even talking about games made by other developers? You're breaking my heart, man.

[@thejompi]

Al hail papa Toddoru.

[@nickrata8796]

cReDiiTz Yeah man that's true but, they've been working on the 2 new projects they were talking about awhile ago. Didn't they show off Prey or whatever. (Idk if that was BATHESDA or not) and then another game. Then they'll start TES VI which they will try their hardest to make and make it as polished and amazing as possible. Like seriously it's their baby

[@peterparker1683]

After the disappointment that is Mass Effect 3. The majority of people who worked on it along with past games like KOTOR and Dragon Age left Bioware. Even the founders retired from the gaming industry. That's why Bioware is garbage.

[@MorrowindES17]

Anthem is what mass effect Andromeda should of looked like just my opinion

[@d2darocha]

You mean like a shitty clone of Destiny/The Division instead of something original that they come up by their own? Sure...

[@Rune77]

Daniel Rocha Idk why people keep comparing those games to anthem, they look completely different.

[@jasperzanovich2504]

+Rune They LOOK different but the gameplay is the same. Open World-shoot and loot. Probably with abilities and bullet sponge enemies. Also, AGAIN, it's coop. Which usually means that they totally rely on friends to make the game fun, every game is fun if you play it with friends. In return that means a game that relies on friends is a bad game.

[@MorrowindES17]

I hate bullet sponge enemies just like in every Ubisoft game lol

[@rhithym]

should've*

[@CulpableSphere8]

Agreed 100%, nothing more to say.

[@danl1830]

Thought the title said Skyrim

[@sherlockbones8446]

It's a game that realistically won't release until late 2018 to early 2019. People need to stop hyping it up. That's a lot of time for shit to change.

[@izymandius3822]

Braiven ok so a company makes what one maybe a couple mistakes and you trash them lol with that logic I wonder what people as a entirety would be like if our parents acted as you stupidly spewed shit out of your mouth not to mention the studio that made mass effect andromeda is not the same one that is making this game

[@blue3895]

The game has been in development for a long ass time, I think it's reasonable that it would come out in that time frame. Also, can someone point to an example of a downgrade in a recent EA game?

[@66bloodmoon]

there's no point in getting excited over a game anymore. We could have have another Watchdog incidents and be turned down we'll have to wait and see.

[@ElGaby323]

I hate trailers with that dumb, scripted player mic chatter. Why did they start doing that? It's the new trend that these freaking idiots started doing to show off their games, and let me tell you, it only makes me not want to buy their games. Nobody likes to listen to randoms when they play multiplayer games, why the fuck would we want to listen to it in trailers? Anthem is Bioware giving up, and settling for something easy that they know the masses will buy into. Why make deep RPGs with great stories and writing, when you can just make a mindless loot shooter that people go crazy for? Somebody in Bioware must've asked this question, and everybody agreed. So we got Anthem.

[@garretburrow]

BioWare: Edmonton > BioWare: Montreal

[@megakaren2160]

The combo of you saying "Well, we haven't made a good rpg in years so let's stop." along with Vigil playing in the background, damn that hurts. But I don't want to play a Bioware game with other people. I would rather play with NPC's. Your companions is what gives Bioware games half of their charm.

[@nuriel1825]

At this point I don't even want BioWare to make a Dragon Age 4 because they'll likely fuck it up and turn it into a clusterfuck.

[@ladydominion8632]

pwoper fish If they learn from the mistakes they made with Inquisition, such as the power system, slow quests and combat, the game will be pretty good. And I'm interested in the story they set up, so basically this game is my last redemption for Bioware and if they fuck it up I'll never buy a Bioware game again.

Happy Birthday boiii!! Hope you're having a blast of a day! :3

[@scribeslendy595]

I'm actually going to have to disagree on the RNG loot thing, it's why myself and all my friends love Destiny and Borderlands so much. It can be frustrating to work with sometimes, but the excitement of seeing a rare drop is what keeps me and so many others coming back for more That said, I know that type of system isn't for everyone, but if it's built in well, I think it can be a positive

[@N5FX]

Totally agree, i don't understand the joy without RNG it's going to be boring to do a 20 minutes mission i you know already what you're gonna get in the end. Where's the excitment what's the point of it. So if a mission has a weapon as a reward that i wouldn't like i'm just going to skip the mission from the beginning. Nothing like a 100 vault of glass runs to finally get that Gjallarhorn

[@kimura-yudai]

Yeah but borderlands isn't the kind of rng matt's talking about here. In borderlands there's random rng from everything (if you play on the one and only true difficulty, uvhm) but there's also the fact that you farm bosses for specific drops. That's rng to some extent, because it's a % chance to drop, but it's not because you have a goal. The rng being discussed here is the type of rng you find in WoW in the current expansion. You have a chance out of everything you do to get a random legendary for your class, with no way to target anything. And I agree that the latter is much shittier. Borderlands does it right by having both types of rng for more fun. Anthem just looks like a frankenstein copy-paste of a bunch of games with no real substance of its own.

[@strawman5300]

ScribeSlendy so. Skinnerbox addiction feeding mechanics. Sorry But that simply does not make for good gameplay.

[@dustinstone5188]

honestly we don't know enough about anthem's rng system to give it a good or bad rap yet. who's to say it doesn't have certain bosses that drop specific loot. all we saw was a scripted encounter of some normal enemies that were guaranteed to drop that gun.

[@Metal_Enjoyer]

ScribeSlendy yeah I got so excited when a legendary drop gave me an exotic weapon

[@zetrax7220]

Bro there's a brand new Fallout NV the Frontier trailer and Beyond Skyrim Bruma has been announced and you're talking about anthem?

[@leonthesleepy]

i dont get why people are even hyped for this. it looks like the most generic corporate game yet. A mindless grindy open world loot game with pretty graphics

[@rickymartin4457]

leonthesleepy It looks like every other sci-fi designs you find by the millions on deviantart.

[@maiqtheliar9317]

Hey Matty where was it for you that bioware started going down hill

[@Sh0cklyz]

Anthem in one word: generic

[@Empress_Theresa]

Matty, be ready for the wrath of the Biodrones! HERE THEY COME!!!!

[@matheusmterra]

Really couldn't care less for this game. Never played Destiny because of lack of time and interest in the MMO genre, so I'll probably never play Anthem as well. And I'm with you on the grudge, it's heartbreaking see one of the companies who made some of the best RPGs of all time being money-tunneled, but we should have expected such dick move from EA.

[@asaltyone3015]

Do you have time for Destiny 2?

[@matheusmterra]

Also no. My time with MMOs died alongside the Wrath of the Lich King expansion of WoW, after that MMOs simply got zero appeal to me, even from frachises I love, such as SW The Old Republic and Elder Scrolls Online.

[@N5FX]

Agree with you on The Division, Destiny is still a good game

[@rsnerdXD]

What's wrong with The Division? I think it's a decent game.

[@pillerabel]

first it was just plain and boring, there wasnt much things to do, i quit playing it bc i couldnt enjoy what i wanted (The dark zone) bc i didnt want to finish the singleplayer

[@MR3DDev]

RNG loot is like the golden goose now. It keeps the players in the game because it taps on the "I want that so I am going to work for it" mentality, so specially for multiplayer games this is where the gold is

[@Mohgbloodlordnihil]

What the fuck is anthem

[@Empress_Theresa]

It's a song, as of praise, devotion, or patriotism...or a piece of sacred vocal music, usually with words taken from the Scriptures...but I don't think this matter now.

[@bailaohu7819]

Bioware's take on Destiny and The Division from all accounts.

[@ianlenn5408]

Bai Laohu it's an open world RPG with futuristic elements. Destiny and The Division didn't MAKE the multiplayer RPG genre, and Anthem doesn't really look that similar to either of them. You see RPG, future, and loot and you automatically think of Destiny. You should probably expand your gaming portfolio.

[@archyneverpicked]

[@gavo7911]

[@PhilipZeplinDK]

This is largely what I'm also feeling towards the game (though without the extra Bioware perspective). I really hope the game comes with a solid story and singleplayer - I'm really not feeling the "the game is self-aware that it's a game" style I've seen so far.

[@GraphicJ]

Matti you are nit picking to a crazy extent man, lol

[@lamsauce4266]

[@Realgigclin]

bioware fucking sucks now, ME2 was their last 10/10 game for me. ME3 was good but its story was all over the place

[@bedtimebro]

You don't care because it's not made by Bethesda. If it was Bethesda you'd have made 10+ videos about how great it looks already. #facts

[@pillerabel]

bc bethesda would make the game better imo, and bioware would be better so they dont rush me andromeda, and make it a good game

[@mrflyingcow5423]

wasn't mass effect Andromedas combat one of the few good things about it? why is a game using a similar combat system a bad thing now?

[@bailaohu7819]

Why would you want to buy another game with the same combat system? Idk about you, but I like ACTUAL diversity in my games-from KotoR to Jade Empire to Mass Effect 2. Notice how those games feel different? Play differently? Are set in different universes? Have different mechanics? Imagine if KotoR, Jade Empire and Mass Effect all had the same combat system...bleh.

[@mrflyingcow5423]

Bai Laohu but couldn't you say that lord of the rings game I forgot it's name the batman games, and assassin's creed all have a similar combat and they were all good. also I never played mass effect so the combat would be new to me. as a aside I have no strong opinions of the game seeing as I jest heard about it. it would be nice if something could take destiny's crown it got for being the only guy to limp to the party.

[@StylesisTNA]

Personally I despised Andromeda's combat system.

[@Niz96]

what the name of the background track?

[@shawngordon3606]

I'm going to have to disagree with you. The game is taking the better elements from their best games and making something worth playing. Yes their borrowing from other games because that is what's selling very well. I feel like role playing is not their top priority anymore just an opinion though.

[@bailaohu7819]

I think the only 'role playing' in this game will be exp, levels and random colour coded drops, i.e. superficial-the skin of a role playing game, but not the core.

[@Necaradan666]

RPG elements does not an RPG make

[@GamerPete101]

It isn't at all clear there won't be roleplaying, in fact one of the designers said that you would be able to experience the traditional "Bioware style" single player story. Not clear what that means yet, but Bioware is clearly trying to appeal to the Destiny crowd with this demo so it's worth considering that they were prioritizing the action and group play.

[@prutar]

Man, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but "...BioWare hasn't made a good RPG in years..."???? Really, so DA:I wasn't a Game of the Year contender? It wasn't a good RPG? And, despite its crappy ending, what about ME:3?? I say this as someone who has literally been playing BioWare games since their first release; WTF, mate?. I find people who crapped all over ME:A but gave Skyrim a pass, even though Skyrim was utterly unplayable for the first 4-6 weeks it was on the market, small minded and boring. And Fallout is literally the same game over and over with better graphics. But BioWare hasn't produced a good RPG in years? It's very easy to be highly critical when you ass is sitting in an armchair.

[@Mythicalgoon]

PJ Rutar dragon age inquisition was meh at best, better than 2 but still not as good as 1. The story? forgettable. The characters? Not really relatable and to top it off constant side quests that u don't have a choice in doing literally just to purposefully prolong the game. What if one night I just want to play the fucking story but have 0/40 power? well great now I have to devote 3 hours closing rifts and catching goats yippee, dragon age 3 was very very close to being the successor to da 1 that we all wanted but due to some poor design decisions fell short. which is too bad really.

I agree with the quest system and power system, even when I play it now it pisses me off because if you're doing The Descent DLC and you don't have any power you have to stop what you're doing and get more so you can unlock things. But otherwise, the characters were enjoyable, and after the Trespasser DLC you realize that Corypheus was never the big baddie. It opened so many story possibilities for 4.

[@rickymartin4457]

PJ Rutar Fallout is literally the same game over and over because "War, war never changes".

[@zoltanz288]

PJ Rutar Bullshit. Skyrim was playable day 1 on the pc. Fallout 4 has allmost nothing in common with Fallout NV or Fallout 1 and 2.

[@RJaime869]

What do you mean exactly when you say Role Playing?

[@Kristijan1001x]

Doesn't like random loot but has 5.000hours of Fallout and Skyrim GameTime..... OK Matty,Also game is developed by a different team .... not the same from mass effect so u should do your research

[@JayCartere]

You're right Matty, RNG SUCKS!! Anthem just looks like a third person Destiny type shooter, I'm very skeptical about what Bioware will be able to do with this game. I play Bioware games for the RPG aspects and story focus, not to put on mech suits with some randoms and run around looking for random loot.

[@andrewr3846]

Not playing another bioware title until bioware Edmonton makes mass effect again. It was a mistake to test a small studio with the task

[@Kastrenzo74]

I keep getting Bioware and Bethesda confused. this game was so far out in left field for both companies, I couldnt remember who was the studio behind it

[@gelul12]

when the mass effect music runs slowly in the background.... damn the feels

[@elysiumware9123]

it seems like video games now are developers saying lets make a new game, but make it feel and play like old games so people can feel like they are playing their old favorites.

[@BaronVonMaximo]

Great video. Totally summed up my exact emotions/thoughts when I saw the gameplay footage. It was insane how many people responded to that footage claiming they'd pre-order immediately. No wonder we keep getting burned by unfinished AAA titles.

[@MrMattyPlays]

Yep. Pre-orders are veryyyy dangerous. I see why people do it, but it hurts the industry.

[@TheTraveler980]

So, Andromeda and Anthem both begin with an "A". You know what else begins with an "A"?

[@kaleidoscopeeyes1250]

One thing I will say is that out of all the games it takes from, it kinda reminds me of what *Lost Planet 2* wanted to be all those years ago. Anyone remember that title? Cool tech, beautiful alien environments, awesome looking beasts to fight and dynamic combat. It turned out to be a total wreck, but this could be the real deal.

[@marshalmcbride2753]

Any game with scripted dialogue that's construed to give the false impression that is a real conversation between two people in real life is going to suck.

[@SovereignTurkey]

i'm getting sick of looking at new games, and not thinking "oh, that looks cool" and instead thinking "so its basically this game, that game, and that other game mixed together"

[@javiundisclosed9214]

What is anthem

[@Del2394-g3z]

Imagine if they would've put this much effort into Mass Effect Andromeda, it wouldn't be a failure but instead they gave it to Bioware's C team.

[@Oozaru85]

They are working on Dragon Age 4, so I'm more than happy.

[@TheRoguePrince0]

Anthem can take a one way trip out an airlock

[@Wolpher]

How have game developers not realised that RNG loot is a Turd on fire.

[@Warhound_]

As far as old vs new Bioware fan it's a good thing the writer for the old Bioware games is the lead writer for Anthem.

[@legendp2011]

It seems many people do not know that Andromeda was made by a different Team (there are 2 bioware teams. Anthem is made by the team that made the original mass effect trilogy)

[@trentosmentos3104]

See when you said I like to know what I'm working towards and shit pissed me off because if you know your gonna get it you won't be ad excited when you do. Knowing there's a chance to get it makes it way more satisfying when you get it

[@itkermit0074]

I wouldn't say I'm excited, I'm more intrigued and curious about this. I wanna see more before I give full judgement

[@0ddG1nger]

Drew Karpyshyn also wrote the Darth Bane trilogy (which I would highly recommend) so I'm hoping it will at least have a badass story.

[@trillveo4251]

How do you still have subscribers after this video?

[@roberteli5235]

I'm not excited because I know that "gameplay" saw is not what we're going to get.

[@curtispermito2034]

looks like exactly what we havent been asking for

[@LecherousLizard]

A gameplay of a Do-Not-Call-It-Mass-Effect game featuring two humans jetpacking in Do-Not-Call-It-Turian and Do-Not-Call-It-Krogan suits. Excited? Nope. Interested? Nah. Eyebrows raised? Only one.

[@Sp33ddialz]

Andromeda proved you don't need a good story, or even good coverage to makes Millions of dollars. Why invest more $$ & effort when you can do what everyone else is doing & make the bank?

[@SrChalice]

Basically... When i first saw anthem i thought, 'So this is what happened to Mass Effect; It moved over here ".

[@philjohnson957]

is it third person or first person?

[@awesome9174]

I've been playing video games for almost 20 years now. I still enjoy big AAA games, but not nearly as much as I used too. I find myself being more entertained by Indy titles like Squad, Star Citizen, The Forest, Natural Selection 2, etc. I think true innovations are being made by Indy games, as opposed to most AAA games that just iterate more than anything else.

[@joshuahorn8887]

You know what would be funny......all the things promised and more actually happens in the final product and proves people wrong.

[@sephron17]

just wait CD Projekt Red will save the open world sci-fi RPG genre with CyberPunk 2077

[@rhithym]

if theres one thing we've learned over the last several years, it's that "old school devs" don't matter, a game can still be shit

[@MrCobb-sg8io]

I think i'm with you matty, ANTHEM has the potential to be good but I can see it being abhorrently generic as well.

[@TKFarren421]

TO be fair, Mass Effect Andromeda was shafted because of EA. A lot of devs got sent to work on Battlefront or Anthem, as well.

[@XBLGR]

I'm getting serious division vibes from this, I'll probably burn out after a few days then never touch it again

[@NightsoftInteractive]

I totally agree with you Matty, I was rather sad and disappointed than excited, when I watched the anthem reveal It was like: "look what Mass Effect: Andromeda could have been, but you never got, but hey! here have some new mmo shooter..." It's heartbreaking to see what Bioware become :( Yesterday i listened to the Dragon Age: Origins Theme and I had tears in my eyes.

[@PrinceRPG]

what happened to the dialog choices, and deep characters smh im scared for the next dragon age

[@jamesgeorge7579]

I prefer how Skyrim does loot over the rng system, where you get specific weapons or armor from specific quests, it gives you a sense of accomplishment. Take Auriel's Bow for example, whenever you look at that bow or use it you are reminded of the epic adventure you went on to earn it, and if other people see you using it they know you've seen some shit.

[@jacobmichalak7321]

A choke in your voice sounds like your about to cry like. Bioware how far have you sunk

[@TheRoguePrince0]

this game is like a baby alien that just ripped through mass effects chest

[@joshturnbull4791]

You can go anywhere... where have I heard that before

[@nisay337]

The director of the game said it will have a classic bioware story

[@Empress_Theresa]

"Trust no man whom pockets is full of gold...yes! Gold! Fruit of deception! The very gold that drags man to the oblivion! Crazy, feverish...a slave of his deceitful master he is! They will stop at nothing for the reward that lies ahead! Oh, and how grand is that reward...but at what cost? Souls is what they seek...nothing more."

[@Veneuss]

Looks good to me, but I'm going to see how it turns out.

[@negie78000]

Anyone else miss how your companions would hold legit conversations with one another in DA: Origins? And I always genuinely laughed at some of them. Bring back the good rpgs.
