I wonder how it's going to look downgraded.

lol, no one gives a shit about Mentallyillware after Ass Effect 3.
>>380500684
It's true
No one even shitposted over it.
>>380500506
Makes you think

Guess if they give him a chance at writing again we'll see if Mass Effect 1 was a one shot wonder or not.

I'm not sure I understand.

The story was good, the characters bland. Anthem might be better for him.

Can't you play solo and online? Or is it like Division/Destiny where you need a group?
>Game is just Destiny
>Aesthetics of the game is bland stuff that's been done a dozen times before
>Normies love it
>Journalists love it
>Even /v/ loves it
>The only people who don't like it are hardcore BioWare fans
>Jorunalists and normies are already posting about how anyone who doesn't like Anthem is an entitled whiny brat
So this is how BioWare dies, to a round of applause.

The guy who completely and utterly butchered Revan in his shitty SW novel?
Yeah, can't wait.
This is good news desu
>>380501703
What'd he do with Revan that people found reprehensible?
>>380501703
Star Wars is never interesting.

>The game includes a “very big open world for players to explore.” The settlement saw in the gameplay reveal (Fort Tarsus) is a hub for the players, where they will be able to customize their Javelin exosuits and pick up quests.
>Freedom of experiencing the game the way you want to play it is important for BioWare, so gamers will be able to play either with themselves or with friends. The whole experience is “frictionless.” And it’s “absolutely” possible to play through the entire game solo.
>Players will face a “diverse array of opponents,” like fierce monsters and creatures and other humans in their own exosuits (but Warner was quick to mention that he did not confirm the presence of PvP in the game).
>World is very savage and humanity is at the lowest of the food chain. Javelins is are needed to survive. The player plays one of the heroes who have the courage to put on that exosuit and explore beyond the safety of the wall.
>Combat will include gunplay with an “amazing array of different rifles,” but there will also be gear that can be equipped on the Javelin that will allow different approaches.
>The game will include a “great BioWare story” also giving players the freedom to tell their own story, as they explore and uncover new things. That said, BioWare isn’t ready to talk about the possibility of romance being included just yet.
>game runs on EA engine Frostbite.
The plan for the game is to have players engaging with it “over a long period of time.” The world is being built in a way that it can be continually expanded, giving players more reasons to come back and play.
>We learn that the name Anthem was chosen because it gives the idea of unifying a group of people, giving a sense of purpose that is bigger than oneself: that’s something BioWare wanted to imbue tie IP and the game with.

You can play solo but it's still online only, same as Destiny. Clearly another shitty clone.
>>380502412
So basically like playing an MMO alone. Trash.
