Anthem lead says it deserved bad reviews, and Mass Effect and Dragon Age had better stories in part because you weren't playing with three "randos" who made everything "worse"

Anthem.

BioWare veteran Mark Darrah, who worked as executive producer behind Anthem, reveals that he believes the multiplayer shooter deserved its negative feedback – in fact, many of its reviews apparently brought up valid points.

Darrah, whose portfolio boasts BioWare bangers like the Dragon Age series, recalls Anthem's shaky release and how its Metacritic score fell short of the expected 70 or so after. "Anthem launches February 22nd, 2019, and the reviews are – I won't even say mixed – they're bad. They're bad. The Metacritic at this point is sitting at a 59, which is certainly lower than the 70s that we were targeting," explains Darrah.
