Anyone else thinking about boycotting Anthem out of spite?
As much as I wish there had been some news about DLC for Andromeda, I'm not going to lower myself to that level. Besides, Anthem doesn't come out for at least another year or more. That's a long time to hold such a non-productive grudge.

Yeah, i don't think they are ready for DLC yet either. They've been releasing patches at approx. 1 month intervals so far.
While patches is mostly scripting and some retouches, DLC is way more work >story>call in voice actors to record>character animation> facial animation and syncing, blah blah ...
I don't think they worked on patches *plus* DLC in parallel, *plus* Anthem at the same time, AND they said they moved a lot of crew to other studios to work on Star Wars or whatever game... i don't recall exactly.
But you never know.... they said they have reduced a lot of their crew after ME:A release, yet they have enough people to work on Anthem ? LOL 😕

Saw the teaser for Anthem. Surprised the sound didn't cut out half way through. Another game on my list along side battlefront 2 that i will be not pre-ordering.. nor will i buy until i've seen what the response is like from the people that did buy it first.
I've learned a lesson from this game.. and while i do love ME:A, some of the issues i've seen people having are beyond the level that should be getting experienced now after the patches thus far. There needs to be a far better critical patch mechanism for faults that overall cause game play issues or stop people progressing. Balance changes etc, new guns, new character classes, yes monthly for those by all means. If you get a ton of people however screaming ME TOO on a forum for a fault that is either stopping game play or making the game bad to play.. then some effort towards fixing those should get some priority.
Not something i expect to see any time soon, so for now, i'll just keep an eye on these new products and keep my money back until i'm convinced its released in a good state.

Yep, i do the same as well lately. Read reviews, watch gameplay on youtube before i buy. I didn't do it for ME:A just 'cause its Mass Effect, and it's my favorite game, so i had no hesitation at all in pre-ordering it 🙂
Yet, seeing you mention progression, balance etc, reminded me about how i got burned with Star Citizen. I know its in development but OMG it has a terrible game progression, balance, 50 thousand keybindings. I have never encountered such difficult game-play in my life ... ever. Only watched some youtube game play without reading forums... the environment-design is really cool but playing is unbearable.... ☹️ my fault, lesson learned.
