Have to say this does not sound a million miles from another game I backed.
Just goes to show roadmaps are a waste of time and yet people keep asking for them. Prefer the days when a software company just dropped a product on me designed by them, with their vision and there wasn't a thousand armchair devs moaning every week.
EA took a great RPG maker and forced them to turn out mediocre FPSs. Wonder where it went wrong? I'll be checking out DA4 but I have zero expectations of it.
Oh yea, this game existed.
I know, it's hard to believe it was a thing considering it took 99% of the people about a week to forget about it. I think it shows negative power hype can have. If it wasn't hyped as the best thing ever it would be just perceived as totally mediocre, and not a complete failure.I am not convinced!
So you're saying it may have gone better if EA hadn't marketed it? :-D It was meant to be a strictly better Destiny and sold as such. It's like id have to realise anew with every Rage that if you make Borderlands without giving a damn, it's rather obvious.If it wasn't hyped as the best thing ever it would be just perceived as totally mediocre, and not a complete failure.
Well, yes I don't really like Destiny much, but I'll be damned if I don't admit that game had hundred times more effort and passion put into it. Anthem felt like the most soulless thing ever, an empty husk of a game that could've been good.So you're saying it may have gone better if EA hadn't marketed it? :-D It was meant to be a strictly better Destiny and sold as such.

Exactly, if they just dumped the game when it was done(as much as any modern software can be done) instead of the modern practice of baiting audiences then gamers would have taken it at face value. It's hard to believe but games sold before modern hype marketing.I know, it's hard to believe it was a thing considering it took 99% of the people about a week to forget about it.
