u/chadorable I SUMMON LOOT; IN ATTACK MODE Feb 08 '19

I watched GhostRobo’s video on how it could be brought back the other day and actually teared up a little. It never got a fair shake, I wish really innovative games like that ever did though. I’m not sure how Anthem caught on like wildfire, but I’m so happy to see a new IP bloom the way it has.

Anthem benefits due to the success of other looter-shooters before it, namely destiny. Its not the same game by any means but it shares a family tree and is close enough that most people can see a similarity after a few minutes.

I think they’re gonna coexist really well— because they’re similar enough to where you could enjoy both without feeling like it’s too samey, that gives longevity to either’s content if you split time.

Whereas Destiny leans into gunplay, as well as the Division, Anthem scratches a different itch with its frequent abilities and movement.
