Looks okay, but I you can't create your own character and I think it's mostly first person. I did not play either of the first two games either.

Yeah. And there was something called "the elderly scrolls" there too. Made me wonder how much of that is satire.

Oh, lol, I assumed it was a DLC for Pillars. Oops. I will check out some gameplay after release.

Just engaging and somewhat consistent, that's about it. I tend to read all the books I find in good games, and skip them in games that seem dumb. When taking a break to eat or something I listen to the lore in ME, and I've read all those entries a few times.I hope for devs to try to do something cool, but it doesn't have be new and edgy or dark or whatever.

Loved Darkest Dungeon! Will definitely be keeping an eye on this!

Doesn't sound great. I was hoping this would be good even if not a 'traditional' Bioware type game - though I've certainly had my reservations, given not-so-recent-anymore developments. Well, I'll still wait for the full reviews and perhaps a while after still. Sometimes it takes a bit of time getting these types of games right. But sounds like there are several quite fundamental flaws here.

It's kind of a trend with inXile, releasing unpolished gems. But I honestly don't blame them for it, I've learned to wait for their enhanced/patcheed/director's cut versions :)

Now this is a review I fully agree with. As I also excepted something similar like Shadowrun. Instead we got a badly written campaign that didn't nab my interest.Even the expansion DLC's are not promising. On top of all this they are now owed by Paradox who is known for DLC milking. So the future is not bright for HBS.

This is an RPG site. Of course I'm going to mention how much a game is an RPG (or not). That's something our readers want to know. And it still didn't have anything to do with whether I liked it or not, as much as you want to think otherwise.

Anthem is the first BioWare game I haven't been absolutely dying to see launched since I played Dragon Age: Origins. In fact, I have very little interest in it. But I'm hoping it's a huge, freakin' success because, otherwise, I think I will never get to see Dragon Age 4.I get very angry at what I see as the unthinking, unrelenting criticism of BioWare. But even I, an unrelenting "fanboy," am really disappointed with the decision to pursue this project. Inquisition was a huge success in terms of sales, and yet next year is the absolute earliest we could hope to see a sequel (with 2021 or 2022 being more realistic) because the Powers That Be wanted to shoot for a Destiny-esque cash cow. When you have beloved series like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, either retire them with a satisfactory conclusion or commit to investing the time and resources to make timely, quality sequels. Don't make loyal fans wait 6-8 years between games. (And "no" it doesn't make them better because the actual development time remains the same; they're just not getting worked on.) Don't half-sass the effort and make something disappointingly sub-par.Sorry for the rant, but I've needed to get that off my chest for a while.
