Yea my personal unbridled love for Anthem is well documented haha. That’s what makes these two (Concord, Highguard) so unique. Anthem had ongoing support, communication, and plans for roughly a year+ after release. These games were basically shut down within weeks. Bananas

Anthem received an entire expansion update 6 months after release that added new story content, a new zone, and game mode and after that, went into development on Anthem 2.0. It wasn’t phased out nearly as quickly as these two seem to be.

Marathon is a very interesting example. I could be wrong, but the overall reception from gamers has felt largely negative. But as you mentioned, they have done a lot of testing & adjusting. Curious to see how it will fare overall

It’s so wild to see it play out though cause I feel like they should know the stakes going in at this point and that should be factored in from the outset. So to have essentially miscalculated to such a degree that you’d toss it all so quickly after however many years of work is truly something

Same. I’m interested, but not sure if I’m spend money on a movie ticket interested…or wait til it shows up on Disney+ interested

What once was unprecedented is now normal? Wild. I’d be fascinated to get some sort of inside information on what goes on internally from the business side that leads them to so quickly seemingly feel like these situations were unsalvageable

Highguard’s website now is unavailable

As long as I’ve been gaming (no need to do the math…old) Concord was the first time I recall ever seeing an example of something like that. To now see it twice in such a short span…

Yea I’m still on the fence a little myself. But I agree this definitely looks better than what they showed previously

New trailer for THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU

How are you guys feeling about this latest Star Wars project?

First look at Embo, the bounty hunter from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, brought to life in THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU

Just putting this out in the universe #StarWars #videogames

Honestly I’d probably say 3 cause it was the culmination of everything that came before. But 1 has a special place in my heart for starting it all.

This game? Nah 😏

How you get me to preorder

“Aren’t you too old for video gam…”

Hey who doesn’t need some “me” time

Nice! I’m 6’0 and I was thinking that looks an awful lot like about where my head stops in relation to a door haha

Dammit. Beat me to the drumstick joke. Glad I scrolled haha

Hey so um how tall are you again? 😳

“Aren’t you too old for video gam…”

Screw it the best Star Wars thing you’ll see all day

Ok I’m only 2 episodes in to Wonder Man but I’m loving this so far and it’s completely unexpected. Also…all of Hollywood and the movies/actors we’ve seen in real life simultaneously existing in the MCU is kinda screwing with my mind

Me “Why thank you young man”

I’ve reached the age where if someone holds the door open for me, I don’t know if they’re being nice or trying to show respect for their elders

Shepard as I replay the Mass Effect trilogy for the 12th time and make all the same choices

It’s definitely makes me personally more invested. As you point out, it feels like MY character and their adventure. Even if it doesn’t have the narrative choices of say a Mass Effect, just seeing the character I “created” in scenes pulls me in more. But maybe that’s me

I need that to be in an IGN review for a game. “It feels like sand in my swim suit during a fun day at the beach.” Perfection 😂

Unpopular opinion(maybe?):

As much as I enjoy the Star Wars Jedi games (& look forward to the next entry) I think they would be significantly better without Cal Kestis & instead, we had a voiced, completely customizable protagonist that we could carry through game to game Shepard/Mass Effect style

One of the best to ever do it
