PC Gamer - Anthem feels hopeless.
"Though Anthem's problems at launch were significant, they also didn't feel impossible to rectify. The main campaign was a total bust, but Destiny proved that players are quick to forgive a bad campaign or patch when what follows is actually enjoyable. But aside from fixes to problems that should never have existed in the first place, like unbearably long load times or a game flow that forced you to spend so much wasted time walking the streets of the purgatory that is Fort Tarsis, BioWare hasn't delivered a single compelling reason to keep playing Anthem."

We're still working through trying to nail down the closing dates for selling the current BlueTower and purchasing the new one. It currently seems as this will happen during the last week of June, but it's still a little up in the air. It's been complicated to nail this down, which seems odd since the people buying our house are not selling one as part of the transaction, and the people from whom we are buying are not buying one either. Nevertheless this has all been like juggling cats. I can only imagine how hard it would be if it involved coordinating two additional deals.
