Unless EA itself wanted Bioware to rush the game and actively meddled with production, most of the blame will still fall on the developer and not the publisher. For all the (usually righteous) hate EA gets, in the end a poorly made game reflects poorly on the developer. It's easy to look back with rose tinted glasses on the "glory days" of Bioware, but you need to judge the developer on the now and not with their reputation.

As for me, well, I loved Anthem's gameplay but really found the game to be a technical mess. I'm more than willing to give the game a good shot if they can buff out the bugs and issues that I really experienced in the demo.

Focus on multiplayer is the #1 reason for me to not buy this game.

barcode120x · 2019-02-24, 21:38

Just waiting for that 50% off sale to hit just like FO76 and BFV did soon after release. Definitely would pick it up at those prices

Drake · 2019-02-25, 15:12

It's down 35% just days after launch, so I suspect you won't be waiting long.

Shinji103 · 2019-02-25, 19:14

Where is it supposed to be 35% off? I don’t see any discounted prices anywhere.

MeoTwister5 · 2019-02-25, 21:49

Probably physical. Still same price on Origin. If Origin actually marked it down by 35% I may actually consider it.

Shinji103 · 2019-02-25, 22:25

Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, GameStop, they’re all still 59.99.

Galaxian · 2019-02-25, 22:42

I know there was a store in Germany that had it marked down since day 1.

barcode120x · 2019-02-26, 16:31

WHERE?! I will wait tho for that 50!

Drake · 2019-02-28, 14:51

You can pick up physical copies for amazon for around £35-£40 at the minute, down from £49.99. Lots of people have been getting discount codes for £5-10 by email too. You can also get a digital copy of CDkeys.com for about £34.

Some places discounted it before the "day 1" patch even came out =s

This game is trying to give Fallout 76 a run for it's money when it comes to being a disappointment.

Golden Lily · 2019-04-03, 05:21

So I knew Anthem's production had to be mess, but I really understimated just how big of a clusterfuck it was:

I know a lot of people don't like Kotaku, but Jason Schreier did a stellar job exposing Bioware and EA.

Rising Dragon · 2019-04-04, 13:23

Yeah, I'm more shocked that Kotaku put out a proper games journalism article without any of their usual bullshit in it.

I had no faith in Bioware on Anthem from the get-go. This is just vindication for me.

Galaxian · 2019-04-04, 13:43

I felt the same way reading the Anthem article as I did watching the Fyre Festival documentary.

SidVicious · 2021-02-24, 14:36

And the game is dead.

Another abandoned Bioware game. I'm not surprised anymore. Remember that ME Andromeda supposedly got abandoned and went to shit to make Anthem real, and it was still a hot mess.
