Anthem's Final Dirge (The Jimquisition) (Patreon)

Anthem has finally been put out of its misery.   

BioWare's Anthem will go down in history as a mighty example of how to fail at jumping on a bandwagon. Its development was rushed and poorly planned, its release was mediocre, and its subsequent slow death was almost pitiful.   

And what's worse, all of it was predictable. Despite its high profile nature, Anthem's story isn't new. The industry is littered with the corpses of games that tried to hop on the gravy train but fell and broke their face on the tracks. Nobody in the "AAA" market ever wants to learn though.   

So it is that Anthem joins such high profile disasters as Evolve and Battleborn and so many more. Just another "live service" wannabe, soon to be joined by Marvel's Avengers. Nobody learns. The dirge plays on.

Let's all laugh at an industry that never learns anything tee hee hee~

James Stephanie Sterling! What did we tell you about dating ugly 80s toys?! You spent years chasing boglins! You were caught on film banging pogs! Go to your room!

Serious props to your editor for clear cycle. I know it was thrown in there as a nothing bit of fun but that was seriously clever and well done.

Now announcing Anthem: Look Just Give Us Your Money

Industry musing....so Jim mentioned that one of the problems with online games is that if they don’t find an audience right away, they die of starvation. Setting aside the primary issue of “make better, complete games”, why not have a (subjectively) small coterie of employees whose job - or at least part of their job - is to just log into the game and play it so that there’s always a player base when a customer logs in? It’s a measure that ensures that, at launch at least, there are actually people playing and the game stands a chance for its success to be determined by its quality, not by empty waiting rooms or having launched at the exact same time as a much bigger title. It’s also sort of the definition of a part time job for students. Minimum wage to literally play video games for 20 hours a week after school hours and on weekends while technically getting industry experience? Fuck ya, sign 16 year old me right the hell up.

Hope your back is feeling better!

Meanwhile, Destiny (the one that everyone apparently hates) just announced it's 2021 "State of the Game" outlining how it's going to be evolving and expanding more than it ever has before. It's like watching a bunch of really poorly made, $500k sports cars all flying down the same road and crashing into each other and swerving into trees. Then Bungie drives by in a golf cart.

Apex paid streamers to play. It is a better game than any of the other battle royals but you fall into a huge problem. There are only so many players of these genres. If destiny 2 has 50 to 75 percent of looters shooter people, they ha e thousands of hours in the game, they are unlikely to leave. It's the same problem with MMO's and battle royals. If everyone plays fortnite, it leaves very few for apex. Many don't want either. FF14 bounced off of a beloved franchise, started heavily in Japan and moved outward, and is the 2nd best MMO. WoW has dominated for about 15 to 20 years. If you play wow for 20 years and an AC reboot comes along, or ESO, are you really going to switch?

Loved the video. Not much to say, it's appropriate that an industry using archaic methods skips like a vinyl record. So on a more important note.... Jim... April 1st is coming up. If you don't take the piss out of your editor by wearing green lipstick for that vid I am going to be disappointed.

I would love to see legislation saying that any company that sells a 'live services' game, or one that sells a game requiring a server connection to play at all (looking at YOU, D3 single player mode), cannot shut down those servers, not EVER, without modifying the game to allow playing it offline. If they do not modify the game, they must refund every customer who purchased it.

I have to say, I love your content. Not just for the coverage but the shear style you bring. Keep up the good work. And don't worry, I do indeed thank god for you.
