That is amusing, this train wreck is just making Bioware look worse and worse.

It would seem that my comment has bruised a few egos, hit the target much? 😂 I do thank you all for all the comments on my stupidity, they bring a certain satisfaction in knowing that anything is probable if you're dumb enough to achieve it. Man, if I were as smart as all of you, I would have missed out on actually being something greater than a gamer with an opinion.😱 That thought terrifies me, I'm stuttering really, you'll have to excuse my laughter, as it is only a mechanism to mask my deepest fears. 😂

After putting 15 years into building successful video companies across the nation, opening my own, and preparing to attain even higher goals, I guess my stupidity pales in comparison to all of your intellengence. I am truly humbled by the opportunity that you have all given me to witness true mental acumen and prowess. I see now that I must give up all my efforts in life to work at gaining the approval of virtual username ninjas. Your opinion of me has truly changed my life's purpose. I'm not going to continue to bother you guys, as I can recognize greatness when I encounter it. Truly an honor, thank you.

I'm just surprised this game still has "fans" as per the article's headline lol

Alek832622d ago

The previous patch broke loot and progression. This one tried to fix it but broke stuff even more. I still have the game, but I am going to warn as many people away from it as I can.

I never thought I would see the day when a Bioware game can be considered crap. I was wrong.

PiNkFaIrYbOi2622d ago

Well there have been signs for a while, DA2, ME3, MEA all have had issues.

Relientk772623d ago

Every time they update Anthem it just gets worse lol

Sono4212623d ago

But don't forget, Bioware is blameless, the only ones really at fault is big bad EA /s

It isn't like Bioware had 6 years to make this game or anything. (just to be clear EA is also terrible just saying they are both at fault)

Palitera2623d ago

It's a miracle. The community is starting to see that game developers actually develop their games.

Kudos!

Sgt_Slaughter2623d ago

*Pulls off Anthem mask* "IT WAS FALLOUT 76 THE WHOLE TIME!"

"If it weren't for you damn gamers , I would have gotten away with it too."

Chaosdreams2623d ago

How, are there still fans? Do people enjoy being abused?

I understand those who long for a proper experience based on a concept, but that concept is just a dream and the reality is, this thing.

UltraNova2623d ago

Actually people love to get abused, intentionally (see Sekiro), but this[Anthem]...this is a whole different story.

Chaosdreams2623d ago

Ahh, ok ok ok, you got me there.

Sekiro - abuse for the pleasure while overcoming it *deflect stab
Anthem - unwanted, not signed up for, depressing *loading screen

Sono4212623d ago

Sadly I have 3 friends who play the crap out of this together... the thing is they complain about it but still play it, I honestly believe these looter shooters are an addiction, even though they knew the loot didn't make a difference they still chased that legendary loot, you can't sit here and tell me that's not an addiction.

SlagWolf2622d ago

Well no ones ever accused EA fans of being very bright.

Could Anthem live on? Tech allowing local server hosting existed, former executive producer says

BioWare's multiplayer shooter Anthem was terminated this week because EA no longer wanted to maintain servers for people to play the game on, and without them, no one can play the game. But the former executive producer of Anthem has revealed that BioWare had technology working, close to the game's release, that would enable us to host our own servers to play the game on.

EA/Bioware should allow us to host our own servers to let this game live on.

I'd be fine just playing it as a localhost and dumb as rocks AI bots. Just give me the choice.

Anthem Players Report Download Errors A Week Before Shutdown

BioWare and EA had previously said the game would be accessible to those who owned it until it shuts down on January 12.

Never buy online games unless there is some kind of refund policy.

Only days remain before EA will switch off the servers to BioWare's ill-fated multiplayer game

Time flies (like a Javelin suit): there are only 10 days left to play BioWare's ill-fated multiplayer game Anthem before the servers are switched off, presumably forever.

In my opinion, Anthem was a good IP that was worthy of a no man's sky or cyberpunk 2077 treatment.

To this day, their sub reddit is active and I was able to get into a game quickly a few weeks ago when I booted it up.

It is a shame EA and Bioware didn't want to give the game the overhaul it needed to turn it into a competent looter shooter.

GamerRN150d ago

They were close to releasing the overhauled version and then EA cancelled it

TheGamersDojo148d ago

I wholeheartedly agree. If ANY game deserved to get the rework/relaunch it deserved it was this one. More than literally any other. Even over FFXIV, No Mans Sky etc.

SlothLordPootus150d ago

I just finished this up a couple days ago. Although it's a bit repetitive and the story is meh, the game feels great to play. Even if you can only hop on the game for a couple hours before it shuts down, I think it's worth it.

chicken_in_the_corn150d ago

Really enjoyed this. Shame to see it go.

Software_Lover150d ago

I didnt know servers were still up. I could have been playing!!!

victorMaje150d ago

2nd comment attempt (1st doesn’t appear & this may register as duplicate):

They can spend billions to buy or get bought but they can’t spend a fraction of that to fix or overhaul a game that could have been truly special, smh.
