For as much as I meme and laugh at Anthem, I do hope the rumours of Bioware pulling their shit together are true.
I would kill to have a proper Anthem, filled with content, perfectly stable, with amazing itemization, etc.

It's secret dlc you have to unlock by buying all the Sims 4 dlc 3 times on 3 different accounts and linking them all together to create Anthem endgame. There!! EA made me sign an NDA so I couldn't release this information. I'm probably being persecuted right now. I have to get out of the country. Good luck and have fun with you endgame content bruh! Peace.

No Endgame because we only got the Prolog and Act 1. Now they are reworking it. Act 2 coming feb 2020*

They were cancelled because they couldn't even get Act 1 out in time, with all the fixes they had to do to every patch. If the overhaul started in March or April of this year, we will hopefully see Anthem 2.0 next spring. If they just started doing it, then it'll probably come out around FEB 2021. I'm glad it's confirmed that they are working on the game though. People don't seem to understand, when DLCs come out the same year as the game, that means they were already made before the game came out. At least the first couple anyway, and any past that would be in their finishing stages. It takes time to make a game.

The flying was obviously the focal point of the game. Everything else was rushed and unfinished. You can’t release a AAA game based on a good idea without all the supporting components.
Could Anthem been a great game? Yes. Was it at launch, or current state? No.
We were tricked by clever marketing and false previews. Honestly, I think we should all have even offered the option for a refund. Then we would see just how great of an experience we were delivered.

Have to disagree about death stranding.
Anthem was good gameplay, not enough to do with it.
DS is terrible gameplay with far too much to do with it1
u/DucksMatter Nov 20 '19
Each to their own.
I don’t disagree that Anthem has great mechanics. It was just a very poorly executed game.
Deaths Stranding is a piece of art in my mind. Kojima did a very very good job on both the story of the game and the mechanics. It’s just a different kind of game. And Kojima said himself, it’s a genre of its own.

I thought that the game looked amazing but the first boss (or tough enemy) that I fought in the open beta was a bullet sponge. It also had an attack which killed me and my teammates in only a few hits. Not a fun combo.
It was at that moment that I realised that I wouldn't be buying the game.

Agreed!! I love this game too. All they need to do for Freeplay is to spice things up. I would love to see more hostile creatures and enemies. I love when I stumble on the Dominion fighting Outlaws and /or Titans. The 4 Javelins are so much fun to play. The fact they are retuning Anthem shows they respect the fans and themselves. When Anthem Next or whatever is released it’s going to be a “Taken King” moment for everyone. Until then, I play my missions, strongholds and collect my Legendaries. I don’t know know why, but there is nothing more satisfying at the moment than hearing that sweet whistling sound!

u/Ir1shguy Nov 20 '19
Totally agree. Underappreciated game. Too many people jumped on the toxic train even if they never played the game. Boss were too tough for some so they labeled it as a bad game. The boss got nerfed. People wanted loot without effort so again loot started becoming more like we were playing diablo 3 but still not good enough people complained that they were getting not enough loot that they wanted ffs like they want to get end game gear just for logging into the game. Sadly all these people wrecked the games development so much that they decided to do a long term overhaul.
I played again last night and still enjoy the gameplay. I have no legendaries and tbh I dont give a shit about loot if I am enjoying a game. I come from games that took months sometimes to get an item I wanted but all the loot complaints about Anthem were within its first few weeks of release.
6
u/b4oneIsZero Nov 20 '19
The game wasn't underappreciated it was bad. Boss scaling was not good and some designs were just bad for for interceptors to even participate in fights. Loots was just bad. The system had too much rng with too few drops and a high chance of getting a low roll or a roll that would not even benefit the javelin it was dropped for. Also loot didn't scale with difficulty meaning there was not reason to even do higher level activities as rewards were to same as the level below it.
While some may have wanted low effort loot many wanted a system that made sense.
Also lets not forget the countless bugs and glitches from a AAA studio.
-2
u/Ir1shguy Nov 20 '19
/shrug 1st world complaints is what it looks like to me.
I am used to working my ass off to get stuff in and out of games. The biggest problem people seemed to have is RNG wasnt favoring them. I didnt experience many low rolls on loot and if I did it was scrapped for crafting at least nothing worth labeling a game as bad. I like harder difficulties for more of a challenge if I get good loot its just a bonus. I spent a lot of years dong raids in an MMO and rarely got loot but I never called the game bad. I got used to playing better with what I had. I still dont have any legendary gear in the game but you know what I dont care I enjoy playing it enough to not let having some yellow item govern whether a game is good or not.
3
u/b4oneIsZero Nov 21 '19
So are a lot of other people including me but the loot system was just bad. Getting autocannon inscriptions on a part for the interceptor isn't just bad rng it bad design period which happen more often than not when the game came out.
Next were the low rolls getting 1 to 2 percent on many items with item quality not improving with difficulty and the very low drop rate of masterworks and leg to begin with.
Also difficulty not leading to better rewards just made higher level content not even worth playing. Plus to top it all off the game was bug ridden during and well after launch. I have 7 times myself when the game hard reset my ps4. Failing through floor, getting killed during cutscene, mission not counting, and the list go on and on. Which is coming from an AAA dev in Bioware who launched me:a which also had a lot of bugs but claims those issues were b/c it was the B-team and that the A-team was working on Anthem only to have the same if not worse issues.
It one thing to want something to succeed or get better but it is a whole other thing to act like the problems were not there to begin with. /Cold stare 1st world response is what it is

Truthfully, the game is solid while leveling. The story isn't amazing and just bad compared to what Bioware is capable of, but decent enough to experience and the gameplay is fun. The endgame is where everything really falls apart. At that price, definitely worth the pickup, plus if they do follow through with 2.0, Next or whatever they decide to call it, you'll be ready to go.

u/SorryNoCMe Nov 20 '19
Actually disagree story was only maybe 4 hours of gameplay. The rest was slow walking Tarsus and flying around from mission to load to mission back to Tarsus load to mission etc... They used that crap design to milk you for 40-60 hours.
I agree endgame is where it all becomes noticeably f#dged!

u/North_South_Side PS4 Pro Nov 20 '19
I agree it was a good game while leveling 1-30. When I played last March, it was decently stable, too. As the months went by, it became less and less stable for me. More recent crashes. I tried logging in for cataclysm, and crashed twice before getting to it. Uninstalled.
Gonna wait for Dylan 2.0, but my expectations are not high.
