The real trick is getting one of these weapons WITH good affixes on them. That is where the grind comes in.

Yup, definitely one of those games that needs MANY MANY patches and alterations to become enjoyable for the long haul.

If they listen to the player base and fix Anthem's many problems, it could turn a corner later down the road, and be a fun game.

But as of now, if they don't make some serious changes, and fast, the game is gonna be dead in less than a month.

Too bad too, I really wanted this game to succeed.

@Poodger: Lol thats exactly what I was coming to post.

@judaspete: Makes sense. Been quite a while since I have played MK9 so didn't remember much of the storyline leading up to this game.

Why do more and more of these characters seem to have red eyes? This have something to do with the time-altering plot or something?

It is a superhero movie. Of course it is a "total dreamlike disconnection from any sense of physics or reality"

People don't go see superhero movies and expect total realism or to watch non-fiction stories.

@Wraith3: Agreed, the main concern here is if they can make a quality game.

I dunno about this. Andromeda didn't do too great. If you took it back to the Milky Way, it would be hard to do anything AFTER Shepherds story, because of the weird ME3 endings. You would have to pick one of the endings to make canon.

So you would almost have to do something of a prequel, like during the First Contact War or something. But we all know the outcome of all these events so it wouldn't leave much for creativity.

Thought the beta ran quite well. I was worried about performance after playing the Alpha, but the performance was night and day difference between Alpha and Beta, as it should be. Full release should perform quite well from what I have seen. Whether or not the game succeeds at keeping gamers entertained, that is to be determined.

Make high quality games that appeal to your fanbase, you will make money and your stocks will rise. Make low quality games that aim to make a quick buck and upset your fanbase, you will lose money and stocks go down. Relatively simple.
