Make it all instanced so that you can also see anyone who is in your group. Get rid of the unnecessary load screens and make the game more viable.

Have you ever seen a game eliminate load screens before? That'd require a pretty major architectural overhaul I'd imagine.

If a mod for oblivion and skyrim can do it, so can the original developers on a game like Anthem. It's obvious they do it for consoles, not because of any technical limitation given how many 100% open world games there are these days.

The only reason win 10 has more users, is because they gave it away for free.

Gave it away? They practically forced it upon people. Perhaps I'm the last remaining person who was bothered by that.

Are they retarded???

Can't they license id Tech or something to release something that at least looks like a real successor?

This crapfest looks more like a predecessor and not very spiritual either. Fuck off, 3D Realms.

Fuckin' sleazebags.

Yea. How dare they create a free interactive experience to promote their game! *shakes head*

a decade old Borderland had better weapon/loot generator than this POS. This POS is a $60 free2play that still in early access...

Next gen consoles (PS5) makes lots and lots of sense, too. We already have a slight end of console cycle "burn-out/flame-out" slump this year which is not unusual. The video games market is expected to lose momentum throughout 2019/2020.
You don't release a system selling flagship franchise like TES at the very end of a console cycle and also not at the very beginning of the next one when the install base is still (too) small.

Oh, I'd forgotten about this.

"It's contiguous," says Anthem lead producer Mike Gamble. "Once you're in the open world, you just run around the open world. There's no loads. Everything's contiguous. You have access to the whole thing."

There are fucking loading screens to enter a fucking ROOM that's behind a fucking DOOR, Mike Gamble, you lying quack.

Im not sure I agree theglaze. IMO Overwatch is the perfect F2P shooter. It's more team based than most shooters of the kind, but that's kind of beside the point with a F2P game. I mean look at Apex. In anything but a well coordinated three man team, you will have a pretty rough time. This will only get worse as people get better at playing the game, and better organized with pre-made teams.

I guess what Im trying to say is that bling-bling, loot boxes and cosmetic styling trumps all. For an aging gamer like myself, I find these things disturbing and even sickening a little bit. Most of all it sickens me that microtransactions are the future of gaming. Hell, they seem to be the now of gaming. IMO they diminish gaming, because it's so much easier to cash in with a new "epic" skin than think up, code and implement a cool new game mode.
