Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Anthem lead producer Ben Irving, who has acted as one of the public faces of the game, is leaving BioWare after eight years. Quote Irving’s departure is just the latest sign not all is well at BioWare. The studio has lost a number of high-profile names in recent years, including Dragon Age creative director Mark Laidlaw, Dragon Age writer David Gaider, Mass Effect writer Drew Karpyshyn, general manager Aaryn Flynn, and Baldur’s Gate and Dragon age lead designer James Ohlen.

nublood Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I wanted this game to good so bad. I kind of shrugged off the mediocre reviews and bought it anyway. I should have listened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 It’s almost as if BioWare hasn’t been good in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I bought it, spent over 60 hours with it, and loved every second. It sucks that it couldn’t live up to its potential. But god damn did it have amazing gameplay. At the very least it was hands down a better game than that steaming pile of boring garbage RDR2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really were like polar opposites. Anthem with fucking awesome gameplay but nothing to do with it. RDR2 with an amazing world and decent story and gameplay so shitty you'd have to be actively stupid to think it was any better than mediocre at its very finest.

JPDunks4 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I actually jumped back in for the update. It's not great by any means, but if they could continue to add updates like this over time, and rework the entire loot system like they claimed they were doing a little after launch, they could still have something. But its EA so doubt they'll have much more rope to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I hope they can basically pull a Destiny and get this game in a much better shape than how it launched because the potential of it is so great. I want to buy it, but I want it to be fixed first. It's a little worrying that Irving has left because any time someone in a big position leaves a studio is a big deal, but maybe they can get someone else in to right this ship. It's EA though, so...

JPDunks4 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I dont follow the actual people behind develoment, but Irving joined 8 years ago, so basically had a hand in the last year of ME3, Inquisition, SWTOR, Andromeda?, and Anthem. Not sure what else they put out in that time. With all the news of the projects mismanagement, I can't say him leaving should be looked at as a bad thing. May be a good thing to clean house and let some new people take the reigns to give it a fresh set of eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom631 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I had an absolute blast in Anthem for the 60ish hours I played. While I would be happy if they did a complete overhaul of the loot, Im ok if the game dies too. I got my money's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
