      This sub is anti EA. Where were the articles like this towards concord which was more embarrassing than anthem

    2. The worst part is that Anthem’s actually a pretty solid game! The mission design, storytelling and aesthetic are all uninspired but the combat mechanics were wonderfully snappy/weighty. Reminded me a bit of Rage 2 in that there’s a legit good game buried in there it’s just overwhelmed by the most tedious, boring possible chased trends.

      Rocksteady, Crystal Dynamics, Arkane Austin, Remedy, Platinum, Naughty Dog, Creative Assembly: “Nah, it won’t happen to me, I’m built different.”

    4. And no one in the industry learned from this game and that we don’t want respected single player devs making shit like this.

    5. And yet the industry will continue to force great single player games developers to keep trying to break into the multiplayer market.
