The first game was great, and free, like 99% of these games. This one is waaaay overpriced. I have no idea what they're thinking.

The F-104 and downward-firing ejector seats. oopsy daisy

Such a a terrible plane. Finicky at low speeds, unmaneuverable, lacking all-weather capability or range, and with limited weapon capacity.

Fast as hell, though, and Chuck Yeager flew an NF-104A practically into outer space, which has to count for a lot.

Also, no plane in history has looked more badass.

Awesome, terms of service can now be changed and apply to people who agreed to an earlier revision. I can't wait for companies to start taking advantage of that precedent.

Good thing, wish all games had this.

Untill you get banned for saying a word you didn't know was bad.

First twitter post I saw about this said the word that got him banned. No damned idea what it ment.

Not to mention false positives.

That EA didn't support Andromeda post release properly is why to me Anthem might as well not exist. That Andromeda story was sequel bait and did not resolve fuck all. And the writing quality is an insult. That quality will no doubt continue in Anthem as it doesn't seem like they hired decent writers this time around either.

Remember Bioware Edmonton isn't Bioware Montreal. Montreal created Andromeda, but it is Edmonton who is responsible for Bioware's best titles.

I thought Ohlen was still on SWTOR, not Anthem? But yeah 22 years at one company, man that's a long time. Looks like he's getting into making D&D sourcebooks. Sounds a lot less stressful.

I'm sure it'll have stress, but nothing like the stress associated with developing video games.

imagine the stress of those devs that made andromeda, both during its fucked up development AND the post-launch drama.

He wants to raise awareness about privacy 'blah blah blah I swear I'm not doing this for evil', but the people paying attention are the ones who want to use it as a weapon against their foes. This would be a great topic for an ethics class.

Reading this interview a name popped in my head, who said quite a few of the same things verbatim, 1946

Josef Mengele

His penchant for rationalizing away concerns is certainly troubling, 'Privacy is already a problem, so we might as well do what we want in the name of progress.'

..and good luck finding a server running either of those with more than 2 people on them ..

24/7 Metro servers, there is TONS of them! In fact sometimes its easier to find servers playing these maps then vanilla maps. There is alot of FULL servers playing only this rotation.

Is this metro hate?

I never picked up 4, but I did enjoy metro in 3. It was basically the old good small map. I know vehicles and big outdoor landscapes are a part of the Battlefield series, but while that used to be novel it has become (to me anyway) kind of stale at this point.

eSports ISN'T sports, and it will NEVER be a sport regardless of what anyone says. It's not a physical activity.

As a former DotA player that can no longer stay competitive due to aging reactions times and probably the onset of crippling arthritis I wholeheartedly disagree.

"Sport includes all forms of competitive physical activity or games which, through casual or organized participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants, and in some cases, entertainment for spectators."

I assume most of you are intelligent enough to know what makes sports, sports. eSports is NOT sports and putting them on ESPN doesn't change the definition of what it is. It just makes ESPN silly and foolish for trying to create something that isn't a sport, a sport.
