'Anthem' Delays Its Entire Roadmap, Hasn't Fixed Loot And This All Feels Very, Very Bad

Anthem informs its players that every upcoming update has been delayed and it's not clear when fixes are coming. Things are not looking good.

LuzCB19872459d ago

Don't worry even if they delay it, it wont affect their ratings. They have already hit rock bottom in quite awhile.

Alek832459d ago (Edited 2459d ago )

The sad thing is is that they know they hit rock bottom.

Bioware is memeing their own game during a live stream.

I am not sure if they are dumb, just gave up, stopped caring, or a combination of all 3.

PapaBop2459d ago

Or that noose around their neck is getting ever tighter and they just received the dreaded "we have to talk" by the EA higher ups.

HTFY2459d ago

That was just bad. The whole stream was pointless and they acted like spoiled kids.

INMATEofARKHAM2458d ago

@PapaBop, if so its certainly time... Bioware has been dead and just a name on the wall for far too long.

Crazyglues2459d ago (Edited 2459d ago )

I told y'all they would abandon this game once the sales didn't hit it's mark... despite the B.S. these companies always say, we will continue to support it, we have a huge road map for the game, yeah right...

orbital712459d ago

origin access basic real soon i think

I still play, but not for long if their shenanigans continue.

Loot should be their #1 priority.

Alek832459d ago

This game is dead or dying. Everything is delayed, including actual fixes.

rdgneoz32459d ago

If they buffed loot, it'd pacify some people till content drops. But they have no clue about what their players want. They even complained during the live stream that no one had questions about the level design for the new stronghold, when the chat was spammed about loot.

Alek832459d ago (Edited 2459d ago )

I saw that live stream. It was horrendous. Only garbage loot dropped and people were going nuts.
Not sure why they don't just improve the loot. It can't be that hard!

I am so very glad I got a full refund for the Legion Of Dawn edition I got on the PS Store.

IRetrouk2459d ago (Edited 2459d ago )

Damn this is not how you support your game or look after your customers, so glad I avoided this. Hate most loot shooter type games anyway to be honest, always seems to be issues with them, looks like avoiding most of them has been the best bet this gen.

IRetrouk2459d ago

You got a point or?......

Sono4212459d ago

No he doesn't, just another NPC who can't hold his own.

Cmv382459d ago

Maybe his point is if you hate a genre why even complain about the genre. I don't like turn based rpgs....so why would I complain.

IRetrouk2459d ago

I said most not all, and this is the reason why, most, not all, are broken on release or have barely any content or real longevity to quests, it's usually grind grind grind, rinse and repeat, with little support thrown in for good measure, so ofcourse I would comment, but I made that clear enough in my first post, not to mention the others.

I think Division 2 has been the best one so far. It just sucks it lacks overall creativity.

IRetrouk2459d ago (Edited 2459d ago )

Yet to pick it up but seems to be popular, a lot of my online friends on both xbox and ps seem to play it a good bit, I dont have the time to sink into it at the moment, kids, wife, life etc, single player stuff is just easier for me to jump in and out of at the minute, done right looters shooters are great though, especially with a good squad. Just a shame bioware dont seem to be clicking at the moment, they have some great games behind them.

DaDrunkenJester2459d ago

@IR

I feel ya. I bought it but have only gotten to level 8 because life, kids, wife, and... Sekiro haha

but yeah it is good, I just wish it wasn't just a standard military game and had more creativity, but it is what it is.

notachance2459d ago

wow what are the chances, I'm also only lv 8 despite buying it near launch because of families and sekiro lol

DaDrunkenJester2459d ago (Edited 2459d ago )

@Notachance

DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS!?

Do you want to go do karate in the garage!?

Edit: Also, this whole thing kind of defies your screen name...

IRetrouk2459d ago (Edited 2459d ago )

Lol smaller world than ya think eh😂 who would have thought that we are all in the same boat🤣 gaming is good.

TheGamez1002458d ago (Edited 2458d ago )

Loved the game til i beat the story. Then I realized its just one huge grind and completely repetitive and havent played since. It is a good game but it just requires soooo much time doing the same things over and over. Looter shooters are just...Smh. Loved d1 and do still like borderlands though.

I have little sympathy for their actual customers though, the writing was on the wall and in plain sight for everyone to see. After the "demo" it was blatantly obvious this game was a mess, anyone still buying it deserved their disappointment, maybe next time they will actually realise what buying an EA game can actually mean.

Bioware stop...please...it's dead

Move on

paintedgamer19842459d ago

Lol i dont think there is any "moving on"

andromeda made us open our eyes and anthem murdered the developer.

Anthem needed to be nothing short of amazing. Lol that is not what customers got. What a joke

-Foxtrot2459d ago

It's going to be fun watching people believe in EA's and Biowares PR bullshit when it comes to Dragon Age 4

Cmv382459d ago

Anthem didn't need to be amazing... Just competent.

SlagWolf2459d ago

Andromeda opened your eyes?
My eyes were wide open right after Dragon Age 2

djplonker2459d ago

No one would have believed you if 10 years ago you said bioware and Bethesda would go to shit yet here we are.

Thankfully there are devs like cd project red who will be more than happy to fill the void.

-Foxtrot2459d ago (Edited 2459d ago )

It also proves a point that no developer or industry person are untouchable

I_am_Batman2459d ago

At this point I think it's save to assume that whenever a studio gets acqiured by EA, it's only a matter of time until it goes to shit.

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.
