They didn't take resources away from Mass Effect. All of the talent that was responsible for Mass Effect essentially got replaced. And by replaced I mean Bioware hired a bunch of social justice warriors and "feminists" who got them fired or they quit to start their own companies after seeing what was about to happen. Which is something that has been happening all throughout the gaming industry over the past few years.
Lots of outlets weren't impressed by the trailer demo at EA play, but when they got to play it behind closed doors they did a 180 on it and became really pumped for it. I find it weird that they didn't show said demo to the public though, and we're only 8 months from launch. In total they've showed like 5 minutes of footage.
I'll probably try this out using Origin Premier first, and if I like it enough I'll buy it. I'd rather be safe at first, even if it may end up costing me a bit more in the end.
From my understanding you can play the entire game with premiere. No 10 hour window limit.Agreed, although I may opt for just normal Origin Access at first, unless they're removing the 10-hour trial for new games that comes with it.
Either way, Premier is a good deal until it evens out at the ~4 months mark, and then gets worse after that. Even if I enjoy it, I don't know that I'll be playing for 4 months. We'll see!
I've never played any games of the modern 'Destiny' genre so I'm not clear on some of the specific details, but what I'm getting from Anthem it looks like they're setting it up like the first Guild Wars game? Where you have MMO hubs in cities and the like but for the story and heading out into the world/missions you get your own local version shared with whatever party members you bring with you. I think that would actually work pretty well here.
I don’t know, but I’ll probavly post something vague about whether I enjoy it or not.Does it break the NDA to give it a thumbs up or down?
It's sad to see BioWare going this direction, but I'm guessing a lot of the core folks that were around in their top RPG days are no longer there?
Fingers crossed they can do something, because they are supposed to be announcing something Dragon Age related this month (please not card game, please not card game, please not card game). If they could get the magic they had with DA: Origins, I'd be thrilled.It's sad to see BioWare going this direction, but I'm guessing a lot of the core folks that were around in their top RPG days are no longer there?

I feel like the timing isn't right to be announcing a DA4 yet. Anthem hasn't even released yet, not sure why they'd get aware from the hype. Maybe a PS4/XBO Origins remaster or something?Oh really? Please DA4, and a good one....
My heart says awesome RPG, but my head says mobile game.

I played it for the first time a few months ago. It should be one of the gold standards as far as RPGs go. Absolutely loved it.Hmm fair point, but then again I don't think these big publishers fully understand hype or how to harness it properly.
That said, I'd almost certainly buy an Origins remaster if it came to PC (as I am currently without a console). What a great game that was, but it feels pretty dated now.
