Their games are only worth purchasing to me after all the patches and the season pass content has been released, i.e. whenever the gold or ultimate versions go on sale.

I would have already bought it but a looong backlog of games and the wait for a feature complete edition made me resist.

I wish companies would sell the game and add stuff later for free. This DLC nonsense and season and year passes just make me buy games later and cheaper.

Oh well, I guess I can still wait for a deep sale on the Cyberpunk GOTY to give them as little appreciation as possible.

The Xbox Presentation was really well done, for anyone that didn't catch it, I'd recommend just watching it in it's entirety.

Just another no name dev making a budget quality title unworthy of the the license and overcharging for it.

Why can't the owners of the IP ever give the license to someone who is competent? Oh I know, because the competent devs don't bid as highly to get the license and then after bidding so high to acquire the license, they have a low budget to actually develop the game and we get low quality shit like this.

When a new title is announced for a beloved IP franchise, everyone should immediately look at the pedigree and reputation and previous titles from that developer. And temper their expectations accordingly.

Totally agree. Boggles my mind, because it just keeps happening over and over! So many shitty games, except for the stuff from Relic, Space Marine, perhaps those turn-based ones (never got into them), and Total Warhammer...

The performance of this game on my PC is pretty awful so I'm glad to see they are working on this.

What are your specs? My machine is almost 7 years old and it runs great at 1920x1200. Gtx670.

I have, hated the combat. Did not care for the constant dodging running away and waiting until the right time to strike, the fights took way to long to get through. bored me to death.

For someone who has never seen Dune (1984) before... do you recommend a specific version? I hear there are a few different cuts out there.

Watch the original cinematic cut. Avoid anything that says it's an extended version.

The Blu-ray version is actually pretty nice quality. And the film has aged well IMO.

All of what you just said means you don't see the game as a service even after claiming, "People were fully expecting it to be a games-as-service game with microtransactions." Which is it? You cannot, on the one hand, say people expected such a game and then on the other claim the game will be in a better state in six months. It needs to be the best state at its 2/22 launch. Anything less than that is an unfinished Games-as-a-Service. In the beginning, I had called the early access to Anthem's demo a glorified beta test. But now, "beta test" is irrelevant for an unfinished game.

Pushing aside the imagery of your point, consider if you spend $15 on a steak dinner, you get a complete meal. If something is missing or not made how you want it you will say something about it to the waiter/waitress, or the manager if the issue is particularly bad. Using your analogy, Anthem is a $15 steak dinner that's missing the steak. All you've got is peas and mashed potatoes.

What's the point of arguing with someone about whether or not they feel they got their money's worth out of what they purchased? It's entirely subjective.

Except on the menu, it states very clearly "$15 ... Steak Dinner." If you paid $15 for a steak dinner, you expect the full experience. Likewise, if you paid full price or subscribed to Origin to play a video game then you expect the full experience. EA is using BioWare's reputation to pitch Anthem as a feature-rich, full BioWare experience when in reality it is not.

Ultimately, the point isn't about the subjective nature of money's worth. It's about EA not being honest and telling people what Anthem is. Of course, they would never do so because once the reality of Anthem settles in the game is going to tank hard. For some, they got it right away. For others, it's going to take a few weeks or months. But eventually, everyone is going to understand Anthem for what it is. A full priced, microtransaction riddled, early access Games-as-a-Service experiment.

Yay, now besides exclusive stores we're going to have exclusive mod portals? (I don't actually know whether it'll be exclusive, but let's be cynical and say it'll go that way.)

Do we NEED more mod portals? What mods do moddb, nexus and steam workshop not cater to? So yes, in regard to those gamers, another mod portal is useful.

select mods that you want to play and the game will automatically download and add them to your playing experience.

Hahahaha. This is being powered by Microsoft, right? Hahahaha. Yeah, I'm sure it'll work that seamlessly.

How many Microsoft accounts will we need to log into for this?

Yeah I wouldn't pay full price for this now. I'd wait a year, get all fixed up and more content and be $40 or less. It's all PvE so being top dog is way less important.
