Yeah I mean both the negative review in this thread and Angry Joe's review (also negative) specifically compare Anthem unfavorably to Swtor's storytelling.

You know I'm laughing so hard over the last few weeks. Everyone knew Anthem was going to be a flop and it's not just a flop it's one of the biggest of all time flops in gaming history! The only other flops I can think of are well just about everything from Bioware after Mass Effect 2 and Failout 76. There's no way Bioware stays open after this massive failure! Really I'm now wondering how much longer EA, Bethesda and other western dev's are going to be around for. When even Act/Blizzard is falling apart you know things are getting bad.

Eh, they'll stay open. They'll try to salvage their live game service (that's marketing speak for unfinished games with full price tags). They'll shift production focus to Dragon Age now. That's the one I think will be make or break for them. Luckily, for them, DA already has a large fan base because after this bomb what neutral would trust them? If it's another boring, one size fits all story that's excruciating to replay, the DA fans will turn on them too and that'll be the end of their political capital. As far as western devs go, I was just thinking I've played a couple really good games lately, but they were by Square Enix. Go figure. Games need to go back to being about great games, not marketing spin and paywalls.

Games need to go back to being about great games, not marketing spin and paywalls. LOL No one trusts them after DA2 and DAI. Oh and lets not forget how they stabbed people in the back with ME3 and TOR. Really they should have told Sony to keep SWG up, after TOR even the NGE was a masterpiece. Fact is we the gamers are winning people are waking up to how badly things are. TheQuarting just reported that Anthem is already going into half off bins lol. Dev's need to learn come out with what we want and those games need to be bug free have no microtransactions and no politics.

A friend who likes that kind of game told me that "Anthem was even worse than Fallout 76", and - she claimed - that was the nicest thing she could say about it. What were EA thinking moving Ben to a Lead Producer position at Anthem after his disastrous tenure as LP here? All The Best

Go play the SWG emulators then if you hate SWTOR so much.
