Last month saw the launch of BioWare's big-budget sci-fi shooter Anthem. Unfortunately, after years of hype and no doubt a helluva lot of money, Anthem's initial release did not go down well with the general populace. Complaints ranging fro...

We are now in a post-loot 2.0 world. Back in the day, drops in loot-based games were few and far between. Then Diablo III was introduced to the world and subsequently "fixed" with the Reaper of Souls expansion, which brought its bounti...

Although I enjoyed my time with the Iron Man simulator that is Anthem, it's clear that there was work to be done in terms of RPG tweaking and bugs.  BioWare has been working on addressing a lot of this issues both at and after the laun...

Over the weekend, various reports were coming from users on Reddit that Anthem had been crashing their PS4s. One user reported a completely bricked console and others were claiming that Sony had begun issuing refunds for digital purchases o...

The main reason I dig Anthem in spite of its issues is because of how fun it is to play. Each class brings something to the table, and although I'm mainly using the wizard-like Storm at the moment, the juggernaut Colossus and the swift...

It's not exactly cool to like Anthem right now, but BioWare is doing a lot of things to right the ship. Not only have they been in the trenches daily in reddit, reading and responding to comments in a meaningful fashion (Bungie could l...

Electronic Arts and BioWare have released a "roadmap" detailing the upcoming content drops for the sky-flyin', space-shootin', heavy-loadin' new release, Anthem. The roadmap details the game's first season "Act One", which takes place from ...

Anthem is roughly one day away from "officially" launching (despite the fact that Origin Access has doled out the full game since Friday) and already we have our epic dump of day one patch notes. Load times are a huge complaint from ne...

This is the Anthem throw all your hands up. Okay, maybe just one and a half.

We're entering a brave new era of MMO-inspired shooters. After myriad contenders like Destiny and The Division, folks who weren't otherwise accustomed to terms like "endgame" and expansive amounts of loot grinding have found their foot...

It's a treat to see Neill Blomkamp do more Neill Blomkamp stuff, even if it's in a limited capacity. EA tapped the District 9 and Chappie director to lead the charge on a live-action prequel short for Anthem, BioWare's jetpack-boosting shar...

Anthem has spent a lot of time as of late underlining its endgame content -- specifically how tough and rewarding it can be. As with any live game like this, it's a priority to keep players invested after they storm through the main m...

A whole slew of classic action RPGs are coming to consoles in the near future. Skybound Bounds has teamed up with developer Beamdog to port over its enhanced editions of Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II, Neverwinter Nights, Planescape: Torme...

Anthem blasts off later this month, and playing through the campaign is only half of the experience. As with any live game like this (Destiny, Division, et al), the endgame is arguably more important than the process of working throug...

It seems that this weekend's Anthem demo was a rousing success in the eyes of developer BioWare and publisher Electronic Arts. The epic sci-fi title sprang back from the issues that beset its earlier demo in January, with the second effort ...

I can't begin to describe the joy that Jade Empire brought me. BioWare in its prime was a must-see studio, and Jade Empire was one of the last games the developer released before it was acquired by EA. The world, the characters, the setting...

So as you may have heard, BioWare's latest project, the looter shooter Anthem, had a private demo session last week. It was called the "VIP demo," which was actually extended to regular old people by way of VIP invites: so odds are if you r...

I've played a lot of MMOs and MMO-lite experiences. I know the early problem signs and what to look for to see if something is going to go the distance. Anthem has the right stuff to propel itself over the finish line, but whether or n...

BioWare lifted the lid on its shared-world shooter Anthem over the weekend, granting access to a subset of players (EA Access and Origin Access subscribers, folks with a pre-order, and their friends) prior to this week's public demo. You mi...

[Update: It looks like we're in, but there are still intermittent reports of crashing and login issues. We encountered the "infinite loading screen" bug ourselves after successfully completing a mission. Expect these to possibly pop up...

It's a big weekend for Dragon Age and Mass Effect creator BioWare. The studio's latest, Anthem, is hosting a public demo. If you're in the market for a new loot-gathering obsession and you're partial to jetpacks and exosuits and seeing dama...

BioWare's Anthem has a crucially important demo coming soon -- January 25 through 27 for anyone who has pre-ordered the game or subscribed to EA Access, February 1 through February 3 for everyone else. This will be BioWare's first real...

Destiny might be the de facto blueprint for how to make a first-person, MMO, live service game, but it lacks one crucial element that could make it better: raid matchmaking. While BioWare had previously confirmed raid matchmaking would be p...

BioWare's long-awaited Anthem releases in just under two months' time. As these things go, there are ample opportunities to play it ahead of the official February 22 launch. For instance, there's an open demo from February 1 through F...

Anthem is still a few months away and it's just as well. I'm ready for the low key Smash-filled holidays, not a massive MMO-adjacent looter shooter at the moment, so February 22 is fine by me. BioWare and EA want to remind you that it exist...
