I was very excited for Anthem’s latest big patch to address some of the issues the game was facing. I had taken a “wait until next patch” break from the game. I will not recap the patch notes and fixes, but will reiterate what I have said here several times. The loot / reward system…
Much to my chagrin, the loot love that Anthem was giving out turned out to once again be a loot bug. Feel free to go to the Reddit and read the 100+ posts about how the game was in a great spot until the reversion. It is definitely up to Bioware on this and their…
On a train and reading Reddit it became clear immediately that MasterWork drop rates have increased in Anthem – every other post is about how great it is to get more loot and how much fun everyone is having. Many people (including myself) discussed that due to the inscription pool increasing loot drops would go…
After my post yesterday about the frustrations of progression in Anthem after a weekend in the Elder game I logged in last night and something amazing happened. I played for three hours, had a ton of fun, and didn’t once think about the loot. Funny how that happens sometimes. Sorry to go all bipolar on…
I had a weekend to enjoy the end game of Anthem and while I am keen on the game (clearly), I have continued to admit much work needs to be done. The good still very much outweighs the bad in pretty much every way on your journey to level 30. Now at level 30 and…
I just finished the main story line this morning. It took me 25 hours and I am level 27. It was a great journey and the finish (last quest) was really well done – it brought us back to the intro mission and was a redemption from the failure we faced there. Full circle and…
I spent an equal amount of time in Anthem Demo weekend as I did in the VIP weekend – which actually surprised me a bit because my pilot and Javelins carried over meaning I only had two events I could do – Freeplay and the Stronghold. Yes, the same stronghold I had done for 12+hours…
I’m struggling with the EA model of “Games as service” as I play through (and largely enjoy) my time in Battlefield V. I know that sounds confusing and bear with me as I try to explain. Instead of DLC packs BFV went for periodic events, that last a determined amount of time (and that reward…
I know a lot of people hate EA. I am in the small minority who have really enjoyed their products, and haven’t been dissappointed when purchasing their games. Of course I do a lot of research before buying games, and never buy a game by who it is from – but rather on the merits…
