2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

Better shut it down before SKG games gets turned into a law ๐Ÿ™„

Thought for sure I heard they were shutdown ages ago, guess not.

The fuck? I never knew it was still running. I thought it went down as soon as the game bombed?

i thought this died like 2 years ago

[โ€“] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Was it ever actually alive?

[โ€“] CatsGoMOW@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

What is dead may never die.

I actually loved the mechanics of this game, the gunplay and flying controls were so tight

For real, it was legitimately a fun game. I still love the Interceptor. I should redownload it and take some pics before the servers die.

I have the same feelings toward Outriders. It's fun, it has an interesting premise and serviceable story, and the player character is a cocky bitch (or son of one) who knows they're the main character in the best possible way

I was hoping EA would greenlight the overhaul project, as I also really liked the flight and combat. I understand why they didn't, but it still sucks to see this.

[โ€“] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 13 points 14 hours ago

unfortunately there's a nearly 0% chance that such a project would make the kind of money that EA wants from their games

I'm likely in the minority here, but I really enjoyed my time with Anthem.

Since it was shitcanned months after release, there simply was not enough content to keep playing... But what was there always felt special.

Agreed. It felt like such a waste of potential.

My only gripe is that the game gave me all kinds of freedom choose my character's backstory, but I had to treat Owen like he was some kinda moron. Motherfucker let me give him my Colossus, I never use it and he will be impervious in it

No, he's not ready, and my character does everything in her power to ensure that he never will be. Owen did nothing wrong. He "stole" the Javelin of Dawn, and surpise surprise he's a competent pilot. I only wish I could have supported him the entire time

[โ€“] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 26 points 14 hours ago

It is still running??

[โ€“] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 17 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Lmao. Ubi shuts down The Crew, but EA is like, "idk, give anthem another 6 months."

The Crew(2014-2024) lasted a bit more than Anthem (2019-2026) . And Ubi seems to stick for longer with their flops compared to EA.

Long enough to be legal to do so I'm sure. They probably wanted to shut them down the day they cancelled the overhaul update

[โ€“] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 14 points 14 hours ago

I'm amazed they are still running
