No idea about this. I can tell you this though. So far, nothing sold has been anything but cosmetic. You get a lootbox every level near the beginning (I don't know if it's right from the start) until you hit level 20 and then it's every other level. Then after level 50 it's every 5 levels but at a weird interval. I think at level 100 you stop earning the lootboxes. The prices they sell the cosmetics for in the store are ridiculous everything is like 18 USD and the event stuff was 11 USD but you have to spend money in increments of at least 10.Yeah, they got some nice numbers but are they buying from the ingame store?
Haven't actually looked how it works, if there is pay to win stuff, or just cosmetics.
One can fucking hope. A 5/10 doesn't mean an absolute piece of shit. It literally is the middle of a scale. Sure a AAA game shouldn't want to be a 5/10 but the whole anything below a 7 is garbage thing critics do is silly. I don't even think giving something like Anthem a 5/10 would be "trashing" it. It's more likely being honest. It works most of the time and there's nothing gamebreaking going on, it has shit that works, about half of it is fun or something, etc. I haven't played it or even watched more than a few minutes of it mind you, but that's about a 5/10 to me. It isn't a complete dogshit pile of shovelware and there's moments that are decent with plenty of content or something, I don't know.Anthem seems to suck even more than Andromeda did. Or maybe it's now "OK" for mainstream sites to trash major dev releases after the hillarity of Fallout 76.
It's about users trashing it. They just try to follow trends to get more visitors to their awful sites. Gamejournos and their sites are shallow husks that serve no purpose.Anthem seems to suck even more than Andromeda did.

EA’s New Anthem Might Help the Gaming Stock Keep Rising
Shares of Electronic Arts (EA) , which dove last year in the wake of the late-August news that an important holiday-season game would be delayed, have reclaimed some of that lost ground this year. The company’s next big game, Anthem, might help them keep rising.
That’s the thinking of PiperJaffray analyst Michael Olson, who on Thursday reiterated an Overweight rating on the stock while boosting his price target by $12 to $111, about 13% above FactSet’s average near $98.
The stock, up some 24% in 2019, was recently down less than 1% to $97.90.
Anthem, in which players jump into Iron Man-like suits and fly around blowing stuff up, is scheduled to be released tomorrow. Reviews and fan reaction could be described as mixed, though Olson—citing surveys of gamers conducted in January and early February—is “cautiously optimistic.”

And nothing of value was lost,only a lesson learned...hopefully.i lost all my stuff
That reason is what we call money. EA wants their smaller cut and Ubisoft wants theirs. Sure they want you on the Uplay store to maximize profits but they understand that they just attach their own DRM onto their games and sell them on other storefronts. Ubisoft sells games on Origin and Steam? Both probably require Uplay anyway? They make their money no matter what. All those people that only buy on Steam even if it requires Uplay just want their library managed on Steam and they'll still buy the games. It's a better idea than exclusivity if you ask me, now you'll get any and all potential customers by being on every major storefront.I know Ubisoft has their games on Origin for whatever reason.
Scratch my last post, apparently EA requested that his video be reuploaded because he uploaded his video with the wrong EA GameChangers logo he was contractually obliged to add in for disclosure. So he reuploads the video without any EA logo at all and claims he was blacklisted. EA says they have no idea what the hell he is talking about and that he did get paid, in turn attracting the attention of several press outlets and other YouTubers looking in the issue of an innocent YouTuber getting blacklisted by The Man. However, GGG couldn't provide much in the face of evidence that he was blacklisted ("it was a phone call"), so the claim that he ever got blacklisted is incredibly flimsy. But now that all eyes on him he wants to drop the issue entirely.
Is this guy a moron? just bury it and hope your audience forgets you were turning tricks for EA shekels.
Fucking aussie dingo's infest youtube.
I wonder when people will start having enough of yet another battle royale game.
It taps into the part of the brain that responds well to gambling, people don't feel pressure to win, the scrounge and collect mechanics scratch the same itch as single-player, but most of all you can start a new match right away instead of being forced to spectate as a form of punishment for failure.I wonder when people will start having enough of yet another battle royale game.
With Apex Legends it took me two games before I deleted it - first game I did nothing for minutes after landing but run around collecting stuff until finally making contact with the enemy and dying immediately. Second game one of my own teamies started abusing me over the mike the moment the game started and then upon landing I promptly died immediately.
I have no idea why tis genre is popular.
BR is unorthodox compared to standard TDM. Do or die against 60 - 100 people, instead of constant respawn against 10 - 20. There is no going back
