There was a good Kotaku article this week. Legolas Send a noteboard - 06/04/2019 11:51:56 AM

View original postBut what is happening with Bioware? I been hearing stories about how badly the company mismanaged the development of Anthem and that is why Anthem is so bad...also blaming EA which is Bioware's parent company ever since EA bought out Bioware and made it a subsidiary.

See link below - rather depressing read, especially considering the way Anthem has been mentioned for years now as the main reason why BioWare gave up on ME Andromeda DLCs, stopped putting much effort into SWTOR and didn't get very far yet on Dragon Age 4. Although the article does make it easier to understand how a game that cannibalized so much of BioWare's time and attention can be released in such a state and to such poor reviews.

And yeah, EA doesn't come out of this looking too good either, as usual.

Still, I guess the ending is carefully hopeful - they might still turn Anthem around somewhat and use it as a launching pad to make a remarkable Dragon Age 4. Or so I hope.

Anthem

Channeling would be rather hard to get right in a video game. Dunstan - 04/04/2019 09:27:49 AM 468 Views
I suppose, but... TyrReborn - 04/04/2019 06:30:02 PM 474 Views
... Seriously, non-channelers CAN'T fight channelers head on. Dunstan - 05/04/2019 06:37:57 PM 437 Views
... I think you're thinking too big. TyrReborn - 06/04/2019 03:47:21 AM 462 Views
I was agreeing with Dunstan, but indeed, it would work better with the early books. Legolas - 06/04/2019 12:17:05 PM 472 Views
It... Didn't exactly go out of it's way to stick to the lore. Dunstan - 06/04/2019 04:13:13 PM 446 Views

Both TEotW and TGH had big One Power battles against armies. TDR just didn't have "armies". Dunstan - 06/04/2019 04:42:16 PM 472 Views

You know there are loads of good games like that released in the past few years, right? Legolas - 06/04/2019 11:06:49 AM 445 Views
I know some of those, and almost bought a few at a time prior. Thank you for the list Roland00 - 07/04/2019 03:48:32 AM 455 Views
