Pirate-themed Javelin?
Why?
This has to be Fortnite-esque too?

morganfell2001d ago

Aaaarrrgggghhhh Aye Matey. We'll wring every last doubloon out of them land lubbers even if we have beach and strand the good ship Anthem on Greed Reef!

They're so clueless. Just close down the studio already and focus on helping the devs find new jobs in other studios.

Sad to see bioware go but that's the reality.

SamPao2001d ago

No its not. Did you see how FF14 got reworked and is to this day still going and people love it.
Same can go for any other game. They fkd up and are now working to make it better.
Its probably still not for me but if its good, its good.

excaliburps2001d ago

Agree here They are making it better or at least trying to. I think that’s commendable. I’d rather devs do that than abandon their games.

Cmv382001d ago

Anthem was a worse game at launch than ff14 though. We'll see if anthem can fix things. I still own it so I'll give it another shot, but it needs a ton of fun added to it.

Michiel19892001d ago

Cmv38, i dont know man. FF14 was really horrible before realm reborn, like REALLY horrible. They reduced the exp u got after u allready gotten a level for a day, hardly any quests, animations sucked and too long, combat slow in general, no endgame etc etc etc.

Anthem has the combat down (for the most part), it just needs cool loot and a cool endgame (loop)

RgR2001d ago

Right...because battle royal sounds exactly like the direction to take this right?

Not for me. I waited for the updates. Not wasting anymore time on a dead horse.

morganfell2001d ago (Edited 2001d ago )

"Right...because battle royal sounds exactly like the direction to take this right?"

Exactly. It is a band-aid for a sucking chest wound.

"The game is completely broken at its core design"

"We are adding new clothing choices"

"Yiiippppeeeee!!!!"

DOMination-2001d ago

A lot of revisionism here!

Anthem was not worse than FF14 at launch. FF14 was virtually unplayable when it launched. Anthem may not have been great, but it wasn't unplayable or terrible. It was just boring and generic.

Rachel_Alucard2001d ago

XIV had competent developers and leadership take over after Wada got demoted. Bioware has none of that, no synergy, no talent.

well if they want another go I'm all for it TBH
I know, EA, but if other devs can turn things around, I say at least there's a small team willing to try, that least says they care about it

phoenixwing2001d ago (Edited 2001d ago )

maybe if they take out the rpg elements and just make it an action shooter (add more number of enemies as a result) it'll be for the best. Everyone was complaining about how the upgrades weren't really all that great because of dps. now if they remove the rpg out of it and make everything lethal and rebalance it a little it'll be a decent game maybe. this is coming from someone who likes rpg's i'm just saying what could fix it with relatively easy work.

Edit: btw i'm just going by word of mouth and what i've heard. i never bought this terrible game lol

Antifan2001d ago

Don't even fuking bother, bro. If it ain't a AAA open world RPG with branching narratives, what Bioware is specialized in, then they're wasting their and our time. Fuk EA for chasing Destiny and Fortnite success, that shit is played out and no longer relevant.

DOMination-2001d ago

AAA open-world RPG games? Maybe you're consfusing Bioware and Bethesda

Profchaos2001d ago

Maybe you're confusing Bethesda with Bethesda they did make 76 afterall

MadLad2001d ago

Bethesda and Bioware both suck at delivering decent rpg titles anymore.

DOMination-2000d ago

Not really. They purchased another studio and renamed them to be part of Bethesda Game Studios. You're right but technically it wasn't the same developer as Fallout or ES.

Razmiran2001d ago (Edited 2001d ago )

Care to show me what open world game bioware made? The closest ones I can think of are Inquisition and andromeda, but even those werent fully open worlds

chiefJohn1172001d ago

They should've just held anthem for next gen.

djplonker2001d ago (Edited 2001d ago )

It was rushed out there was no chance ea was going to wait 2+ years

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.

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.

GamerRN13d ago

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

TheGamersDojo11d 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.

SlothLordPootus13d 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_corn13d ago

Really enjoyed this. Shame to see it go.

Software_Lover13d ago

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

victorMaje13d 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.
