Plot twist: The "players" you encountered were really the three remaining engineers responsible for the game. They saw someone was logged in, couldn't believe it, and had to log in to see for themselves. Figured they'd do anything they could to help that lonely player have a good experience while they were there.
:'(
That is wholesome tho
o7
I... that's pretty awesome.
Respect
I wanted this game to succeed so badly. This game was by far the biggest gaming heartbreak of mine since I started gaming in the late 90’s..
(I had to edit this because I realised a lot of you have zero comprehension skills 😂🤦🏻♂️)
I didn’t believe it was gonna be good whatsoever since it’s fake official gameplay I already knew gaming companies fake them more than not
Same
For me it was Metal Gear Solid Vn:(
I already knew it suck on first trailer. Knowing how bad the company in the first place, the gameplay doesn't look fun. Etc etc
Cyberpunk 2077 did it for me.
There was a former Anthem dev that did an interview and said that during development, they were not allowed to mention Destiny in the studio, so as not to cause morale decay.
They definitely should’ve take a leaf from Bungie’s book.
LMAO
That's unfortunate for them, cuz Bungie is basically the only game studio I have faith in and eagerly support. What they're bringing to Destiny and what they've been doing is exciting and, in my opinion, they've just been getting better and better at crafting compelling and connected stories. Something Anthem sorely needed
@@Matt-mv5tt Riot?
@@Matt-mv5tt I think the reason why Destiny started out interesting is because the story foundations were already set. Big ball god gives superpowers and is sleeping but anything good has an enemy and due to a recent conflict humanity is piled up in the last safe city. All they had to do was add lore to the already existing race factions and build the story to inevitably have the player fighting this ancient enemy. Gameplay wise, it was not overwhelming, it was simple yet satisfying. Later on afding more challenging content that contain tightly timed puzzles known as raids. Raids are literally what saved destiny with the release of VoG
The movement, the flying, the suits, the combos, the team play. Man this game had everything but more content.
Yeah, I love this game still.
Spot on, every class was fun to play aswell. Put way to many hours in this game for the content it had. Was actually searching just now hoping to find info on a mod group that picked up this game.
@@Mayhski112 I desperately await the day this game gets its due as well. It has so much potential you think some other game company could buy it and cash in!
Right? It’s actually insane they made an Ironman simulator and then completely failed to put that in a world that is interesting and with a story that is engaging..... surely those two things would be the easy part....
@@corvus2512 Bruh what? The world of Anthem is one of the most interesting I've seen in a long time. They don't do a fantastic job of explaining much but after some digging you'll find just how awesome it is
It really hits you hard.when you remember that they said it’s was meant to be developed upon/played for 10 years!!!
I know right... wtf were they thinking when making this game
Bro I love to eat food while smoking weed on my RUclips channel, to cure people’s boredom :)
I kind of had the feeling that the game was going to continue after I'd finished the main quests. This empty wall in the base suddenly got the focus and I thought future missions (DLC?) would appear there but that never happened. After those main missions the game was pretty much done and all I could do was fly and run around randomly collecting resources, do fight after fight and just keep on grinding for better weapons. Only those better weapons also never appeared and I was done with Anthem after that.
It shouldn't hit anyone hard when those plans fail. Same shit was said for Fallout, Destiny, Halo Infinite, etc...
@@theincrediblefella7984 It shouldn't, but it kinda does when you play the game, see the world and think about what could have been.
Fallout has been a disaster since it was taken over, because Bethesda must be one of the laziest companies in gaming. They just release extremely buggy games, sit back to let the dedicated fans patch all the bugs and then gather those patches and release it as a Bethesda "update" of the game.
Destiny, I think enough has been said about that, especially when they totally screwed over the remaining fans by releasing Destiny 2 instead of keeping their word and adding to the original.
Halo Infinite sounded more like PR drizzle to hype up the sales than a serious announcement to me.
Honestly my favorite part was flying around the world. I actually enjoyed the hell out of it and I thought the world looked cool. If only the actual content, loot, and enemies were interesting enough to make it work. Was so sad when they cancelled the Anthem 2.0 reboot.
Agreed
Totally agree. The flight and combat felt great, and the environments vertically
was fun to check out. But the small things piled up until they were big things and attempted fixes made things worse. Then instead of showing that they were a company with integrity that cared about their output like Hello Games, they Totally lied about it having a future, a road map, a 2.0. Still pop in occasionally and end up imagining what might have been. Use an engine that complements your game rather than hinders it . I can't imagine how much time was spent on this to make something that could have been awesome with just a little more time ironing out the problems before launch.
Yeah fun fact; the devs were gonna cut the flying out, but an EA exec actually told them not to.
An EA exec is the reason the only good part of the game still remains LMFAOO
I liked the customization too. The customization was actually really good with the various materials and colors
@@ARTEMISXIX that's fucking crazy
I remember I was still in 6th grade and I bought th legendary edition. This was probably the first game to teach me to never pre order things again
what the issue with the game, I have played it at 4k ultra with a 4090, it was my best experience, there is no other game like that, thanks to EA pass, it was awesome on my OLED 48" gsync.
@@kolysion164 he wasn't complaining about its visual, but rather the contents and how half assed they were for such a price.
@@hklrzki4618 oh this game is very fun, without hud
@@kolysion164 that's how you enjoy the fun. I didn't enjoy it because how bad the rpg and loot system was.
@@hklrzki4618 I played it for graphism...dude it's a graphism shooter game......
I’ve never heard of this game but the few words you gave about it’s lore (to me) sounded like a meta commentary from the creators on the game itself.
“Gods creating an unfinished world with untapped potential”
I thought the same thing! Maybe the devs knew how it'd end up
How could you not hear of “Anthem?” It was literally the biggest videogame disaster of 2019. Every gaming website has multiple Anthem articles a month regarding worker abuse, Frostbite engine issues, etc.
Oh boy do I wish I never heard of it either.
They knew what was happening
@@ewjiml I’m not a legit gamer. I casually play. But I’m on RUclips a lot so it’s more likely that this is where I learn about certain things.
I do wish we got Anthem Next, the core idea is good, thing is Bioware had so many years and money to make something good but in reality the game was made in about 18 months
Upper management was the problem. They couldnt even play test the game. A lot of veteran bioware developers also left already.
@@antarticstorm7991 "They couldnt even play test the game." They obviously play test it. It was mentioned in Article, but correct line was "SOMETIMES we could even connect to servers". Sometimes. I mean, they also released Demo before game launch, so...
"Upper management was the problem." Dont forget deadlines set by EA plz. Also, once game launched, different team entirely took over future support.
@@gospodindpakoh4200 The issue was that they didn't playtest it, everything was pre-rendered and then the PR team basically through down the video at the developers and practically said, "You've got a little over a year to do what is demonstrated in this video. Good luck," Fuck that article, more shit throwing in other directions and no one wanted to take personal responsibility. It was a bad idea on conception, fuck off anyone who thought otherwise.
@@FatalFist I wasnt talking Fake Trailer. And at that point what play testing even is there? Its basically demo-version\Alpha-footage (that last one is mention in trailer as well). There is no play testing at this point at all.
Yeah, considering daddy EA has those Madden Billions, they could have easily finished off Anthem Next and released it and gave it another year (at least) of support and THAT would have at least been something decent in the end. What is left now is a 1.0 mess that will lose live support in a year or two more probably and then there's an unfinished build of Anthem Next we will probably never see.
I remember when this game got announced I was soo excited. It really sucks it didn't work out. They should sell the IP and let some other developers make it what it was supposed to be.
YES! WHAT AN AWESOME IDEA!
This is actually a good idea. I think every person who’s played this have is in agreement it has potential to be one of the best games out there. If another team of developers fixed it up they could earn so much money from it.
I think Guerrilla, Housemarque or even respawn entertainment would do a great job. I'm sure there's so many more great developers that can make remake this game. It has the potential to be one of the best looter shooters. Maybe one day who knows
Hi-Rez studios used to make games with jetpacks, so I might consider them (or former Hi-Rez devs) - but they abandoned their jetpack MMO shooter and Tribes: Ascend for sound business reasons when Smite made oodles of money as a free-to-play MOBA
At least Tribes: Ascend is playable again!
Yes! Companies really need to sell their IPs if they're not gonna do anything with it.
I played the beta with my friend years ago. The game was incredibly fun. The combat felt good, and ancient titans were especially fun to fight. Too bad they’re literally impossible to find.
There's 4 that spawn around the map, every 30 minutes. Like any game, you should learn the spawnzones. Of which there are 12 zones they spawn in.
@@Descyphal - The game is dead. Move on.
@@opo3628 the comment is old. Move on.
I really really really wanted this game to be great, a part of my gaming heart died when I heard they were shutting it down and not continuing to try to make it better and listened to what others told them.
If you have seen the art book it’s even more heart breaking this didn’t get the proper love and care it needed
This was the first game I bought with my own money and I refunded it after a day 😭
Me with Battlefield 2042
Ac unity here, but i played the shit out that one though
Gta 5 was the first game i bought with my own money! Was on £32 a week at the time but felt so good buying it with my own money. Of course my mum had to go in and get it for me as I was 16.
Cod bo2: made me have a false sense of every game i buy will be 1000x worth the purchase lmao
I got it for a 1 dollar 😂
All we wanted were more dungeons, more stuff to do, more enemies to shoot, more things to shoot enemies with. How was that not possible
As I understand it, Frostbite made everything hard, so the effort couldn't keep pace with expectation.
@@sofajockeyUK That and the workplace culture and crunch forced onto the devs by EA made a really unfinished product. They considered it a total loss and moved all the dev resources to the next game.
@@sofajockeyUK BS. Frostbite is known to be a pain in the arse, but if people were patient enough and wasn't trash talkin that much, probably today Anthem would be a totally different game from what it was at launch.
We already have examples about this, just look at Battlefield 2042: the worst launch in videogame history, but today is really funny to play and well made, they added maps, weapons, etc.
I see many people talkin about Warframe, but these newbies just forgot or ignore the fact that Warframe had a decade of support from the devs, lol.
At launch this game was literally a whole different game compared to what you can exparience today in Warframe, but 10+ years of support improved it so much.
Now just imagine 10 years of support from devs for Anthem.
@@julianboyd8719 Exactly and this was due to the fact that so many people were trash talkin on Anthem, when there are so many other games which even had less potential than Anthem, had a bad launch but nobody talked so much trash about them. It's just so sad we can't experience what Anthem could've been after years of support and improvments from devs.
@@lucajkd3674 Honestly I'm still pissed off at the gaming community as a whole for bashing so hard on the game when we have had worse releases from other games. If it got the 10 years of support then I'd say it could've killed Destiny in some ways. Either way I'm gonna sit back and play it whilst I can.
This makes me sad because I had the same experience. The game looked really fascinating as that weird intersection of magical Iron Man. I went in and had a good bit of fun exploring the world and flying. Even mentally charting a path from the city to the other end of the map following the major river system. But after all that exploration and mindless fighting, I ran into the problem that we all did: no content. I didn't know what else to do and eventually abandoned the game
they needed 2 more years of development,multiple planets,alien invasions space fights etc...
The flying was very satisfying in this game.
For me it had the same issue as flying in the Avengers game, you feel slow as hell constantly. Super advanced mech suit flies at running speed.
@@HelplessTeno it wasn’t that slow
@@HelplessTeno disagree, x me was Perfect .
@@HelplessTeno but you're always flying in close canyons. If you want fast just Play Ace combat.
@@HelplessTeno tell me you didn't play interceptor without telling me
The world building and the environmental artists for this game nailed it.
They failed it.
Sarah Schachner's soundtrack is unbelievably good also
@@FatalFist they wrote a large world with cool concepts, it’s up to devs to add gameplay elements and obscure mechanics. The devs failed and it’s most likely because of the investors, execs and the CEO
@@user-wy1et9dk9w Nah, that's stupid propaganda from people trying to blame the devs for being delivered a pile of shit and told to make something "decent" out of it. At the end of the day, it was still shit. You can read the back and forth about it but it was pretty plain to see. Devs got dealt a shitty hand and had no choice but to work with what they were provided with.
@@FatalFist
I think he’s just saying the concept of the game was super cool. I do too, and I actually really enjoyed the flight in this game. I feel like this game could’ve been super massive if it wasn’t so fucked but maybe it’s an alternate universe somewhere
Anthems flight and combat system was AMAZING. I hope the mechanics or concept resurrected in some form
The first descendent, beta is still up try it out. Reminds me of anthem. I miss anthems flying though.
Honestly when they canceled 2.0 I was so disappointed. I went back to this about a year ago and some how it was even worse they got rid of chests in the open world and turned it into a flight simulator. I could barely find enemies to fight. This game had so much potential if it was just done right.
There are still chests in the open world. They even show up on your compass. The events you've misinformed everyone about there not being enough of, spawn every 10 to 15 seconds in flight, and also have guaranteed loot drops from marked enemies(the toughest enemy in the group).
You should try playing the game again.
There’s hella enemies and chests this game is way better now
Confession: I still randomly hop on this game when I just want to turn my brain off after work and shoot things
Nothing wrong wit simple fun. Don’t even blame sum games just have certain features that’s just fun to play even if the game isn’t that good
best game for me for having fun randomly running around and destroy shit colossus best jev ever
I think people just feel embarrassed admitting to play this game because it became kind of a meme. I went into this game without knowing anything about it and it became one of my favorites. It actually got me into Destiny and The Division because I loved the looter genre.
@@Dennis_Reynolds_Golden_God the Division and anthem where cool Games and For me i Had Bug fun in IT and i think IT was Worth To buy
I play it daily...almost level 30
I got this game for $3. I had some fleeting moments of fun. Overall a decent experience for the price of admission. If I had paid $60 for this game I would have been extremely upset.
$3 where did you get it from?
@@skyecloud968 it was on sale on ps store. It was months ago
I got it for free when I bought a PS4, I traded it in and they gave me like 50 cents for it
I tried the open demo before the game launched and confirmed to myself that it was not a game for me. It was clearly trying to be Destiny with flying mechanics, and I was not here for it. I find the Destiny style of mission structure and storytelling bland, vague, and extremely uninteresting, and I could see it all over Anthem. And my experience wasn't helped by the sound completely cutting out about 10 minutes into my game session and staying that way for the rest of it.
Payed $60 and enjoyed it. These videos just do the same things they did at launch bash the game in a video. Granted the game has issues and was a hot mess but it was enjoyable for some.
i remember buying this and loving what it could have been. that hurt deep
The silver lining: an amazing OST and the world becoming more aware of Sarah Schachner. I listen to it multiple times a week during work. Give it a listen if you haven't, it's incredible.
The flying and gunplay was pretty great, they really dropped the ball because while there was content to play it was super fun and when you ran out of content it was just the same 3 missions over and over.
exactly, I had a few guys i ran with in the game so it extended the life of the game way past what I would normally have played it, maybe had 50+ hrs in it to beef my tank build but became way too repetitive. But aside from that the Javelin control and flight felt like something other games are missing out on.
This game, man...
The damn setting, music, and feel of combat were amazing. I just want to explore the world more. The reason the cancellation is so sad for me is that the IP might as well be "cursed." Now the world and lore crafted for Anthem will never be explored to a huge degree.
Maybe a fan project or spiritual successor will pop up at some point… hell maybe I’ll do it myself
Anthem broke my heart. I played it for like 5 months hoping and hoping for more content...
I miss this, started playing it on release, it had so much potential…
its a fucking tragedy, nothing felt better.
It honestly is upsetting that they canceled anthem next, it sounded very promising. But hopefully this opens the way up for a sequel that can be done right because the concept of anthem is spectacular.
They would've need to recode and redesign the entire game from the ground up. There is so much wrong. Especially the amount of loading times is disgusting. This is actually mostly a design issue. Or the snail speed walking inside town. All that crap is really jarring.
Anthem was jus an epic failure, alot of people have been scarred by bioware, a sequel announced will not raise people's attention
@@Arc69 although I do agree with you to an extent, I would have to respectfully disagree with you in some areas. I believe, since anthem two has not yet been announced, or may not even be planned to be announced, I think BioWare is in a state right now where they can prove themselves. If dragon age 4, and the new Mass Effect are done well and garner the respect of their fan base and, bring back some of their original players. I think an anthem two announcement could definitely get players excited for it. But that’s only if their next installments prove to be opposite of what their business model has been recently. Now with that said, if these next two big budget releases are not up to par, then I would agree nobody would be excited for anthem two, or probably any other title revealed by BioWare in that matter.
@@daktaklakpak5059 "Especially the amount of loading times is disgusting." They fixed it in first month of the game. And that common trend of "They would've need to recode and redesign the entire game from the ground up. " is what killed this game in a first place. Cause people where so upset, that they essentially demanded 2.0... And Bioware tryed it. Results are known.
@@daktaklakpak5059 they need to port the game to Unreal Engine or that Decima engine that is more suited for open world game
The controls and the movement and the graphics all felt so amazing. I wish this game would of been a good one bc it had so much potential. Hopefully a game like it will come in the future
@Kabir_Considers.o.nicegrambro make like odysseus and get lost.
arc raiders.
and guess what, arc raiders is free too.
Warframe is where I migrated to and I can't believe how good it is, and it's extremely F2P friendly (I have spent 0$ and I got everything)
@@Jay-xq1dc LMAO you got everything without spending a single dollar?
Did you play it 24/7 for like 10 years straight?🤣
Warframe is not a good substitute to Anthem, Warframe and Anthem are totally different games.
anthem gameplay was some of the funnest ive ever played. being able to fly around like iron man, it was so much fun. Really sad they let this game die it had soooo much potential
This is one of those games that has SUCH a cool premise that everyone wishes it was good or would somehow improve over time but it was so mishandled that won’t happen 😢
I actually have always loved the look of the Frostbite engine. Something about the per-object motion blur combined with the lighting and particle effects have made their games always look truly next gen. I mean go look at Plants v Zombies Garden Warfare, Need for Speed Rivals, or even Battlefield 3- they’d pass as current games any day.
Frostbite engine looks great but using it for everything like EA forces their developers to is just dumb. No reason Madden, Anthem, and Battlefield should all be on the same engine
@@MultiKool13 It wouldn't be a problem if they'd actually give Frostbite a proper refresh like a lot of their devs have been begging for
This is why my expectations for the next Mass Effect and Dragon Age are next to dinosaur bones.
Yeah, also people need to stop relying on the excuse that it was "Frostbite's fault". This has been a problem with BioWare before and after Frostbite. Their quality drop is a BioWare issue, not a Frostbite problem.
Anthem is why I hardly trust the marketing team.
@@dpray96 Lol Hey Alexia!

@@billywashere6965
Nobody is solely to blame for this shit fest. EA can be blamed, BioWare can, whoever the hell else was part of it can. They all fucked up, some maybe more than others but who really knows what went on behind the scenes.
This game reminded me so much of Void from the old 360. Flying around with the jetpack and all.
Feels like the bigs over at EA said they wanted a game to release in that quarter and they went around to all their ip in production and said "yea that looks sellable" When the game was only like 40% done and then when it bombed dismantled the team that would've been giving us the other 60% they wanted in dlcs
I actually love this game. Still play it now regularly
Same
Same
Just bought it, its great
I still play this games really good
One thing they got right is the flying, it felt PERFECT
And the outfits
Honestly, it's a beautiful thing to see this thing still playable
I remember paying 60$ for this game and taking it home and playing it, I had no internet at the time, so I don't know what people are talking about "what could've been" but I had a amazing experience and loved every second
The gameplay was fun, but I love the premise. Having cool suits to fly and give epic powers
From what i read from
Kotaku article,Bioware actually want to use frostbite engine because they already have the 'assets' and 'experience' from DA Inquisitor and ME Andromeda.EA didn't even force them to use the engine.
Both those games had a shit ton of problems on that engine. What’d they figure third time’s the charm?
the franchise killing engine, nice!
Man, the concept was really awesome, too. The Javelins look freaking dope
This was the best game I’ve ever played…. For the first hour, once you blow through the game, there’s basically nothing to do
I remember we played this game solid for a month. A whole month of solid gaming then one day we all put it down, nobody spoke of it again and it got uninstalled by week 5. Madness
Man, the nostalgia. I actually really enjoyed this game a lot for the first few weeks. The lore, world building, characters, voice acting, the MOVEMENT gameplay was the best I’ve ever played. Flying around was amazing.
Even though we were lied to from the get go, I’d love to see a sequel where they actually take a few years of development
nostalgia...it came out 3 years ago xD
@@Gilgamash Been a long 3 years bro🤣
The game world looks soo interesting and the lore sounds great. I hope one day we will get a proper game even if not under the same ip but at least with the same concept
It really is a huge letdown, I can’t explain how excited I was for anthem. I truly hope that it’s revisited one day and given the FF14 approach and turned into something incredible.
i played this game religiously and genuinely loved it, I maxed out all the armors and had the best gear i didn't even know it flopped
Oh yes you did
Really flop of century what you on about
I loved this game but it hurt really bad they never finished it. It had so much potential
I was really excited for this one. I liked the idea of Javelins, and the flight looked fun
this was the final straw in my hope for the gaming market. it felt so good to fly and move around with the inteceptor class, its genuinely the biggest shame they couldnt finish this, even worse than cyber punk
cyberpunk is great
@Jesse Pinkman fair, I've not played since release and I've moved to pc since then too. I'm a bit over it, if only Anthem could've managed that same outcome. But good for cyberpunk actually.
@@windshieldwasher6919 bro you should give it another try, it’s one of the best games I’ve played in a while
@DVonte White I just don't like the idea of buying it again, that was the last and final game that got my blind pre order
I remember either this past Christmas or the Christmas before that, they just didn’t take down the Christmas lights at the social space until about the first week of April
I liked the flying in Anthem, so I appreciate that modders recreated the flight mechanic in Mass Effect Andromeda. Gave exploration a breath of fresh air for a bit.
I remember playing this when the whole 'Anthem 2.0' was being worked on so grinded everything I could to prepare for it but shortly after it got shelved. Though through my grinding I found a way to become overpowered which supriseingly wasn't patched as it was built in but they didn't realise how easy it was to get such a high power quickly so that kind of broke the game for me.
I like to come back to this game every once in a while just to mess around flying like I am Iron Man or just to get my fix playing as the warlock because it's just so satisfying (I can't remember if that's the actual Javelins name but yeah).
Think I am gonna re-download this right now to play later matter in fact😂😂 it's been a while
I played this game on launch and took a small step into the endgame before I got bored, since the only endgame you did was repeating about 4-5 missions for loot. I revisited the game 2 years later and really pushed myself to grind it out and I got really surprised to see that it was quite fun! You could do some cool builds, and even if the builds that does not abuse combos can not even scratch (at all) the highest difficulty, you could still have a lot of fun. I got really sad when they announced that they stopped working on anthem 2.0, would have loved to see it.
I will always claim the biggest tragedy of this game is that the core gameplay will probably never be used again.
It has great controls, combat, and visuals. So much of the work is already done. You could easily make another game from this without too much dev work. And it would be such a hit
This. They really could just add more variety to this game and it could do so much better.
I enjoyed the content they had on it. As little as it was, playing all of it is something I don’t regret
THANK YOU! I LOVE ANTHEM
I think the saying “All froth but no beans” comes to mind when talking about Anthem, which is kinda sad considering the potential it had.
All these years later, it still looks awesome. I may have to go install it again. The biggest memory I had was how slow they make you walk in the city.
Idk why EA got hate for this when it was confirmed by some devs that they weren't being forced to use any engine. Also, the head devs had actually lied to EA about the state of the game, and every time EA came to check, they would make them think they were better than they already were. When they got caught, EA had no choice but to release it since they had wasted years of dev time doing nothing.
As someone who bought into the game spent 500 hours playing has every legendary available. I'm really surprised the game is still playing. I thought that me and all my friends could get together and play this game over and over and over again.
If they would’ve put all their effort into making it a single player only game, it would have been so much better
And to think back in the days I was looking out for a new-gen GPU just to beable to play this game on max settings because I found it so amazing-looking!
Loved this game so much. I had a blast. Really wish they had a better plan for this game
I had so much hope for this game, it reminded me of my destiny 1 days with the boys, but too bad after 4-5 hours there was literally nothing to do..
I really hope another team picks up the game. It's absolutely amazing, the fighting is amazing, the flight is amazing, the graphics are amazing. A new team just has to pick it up and just actually create content.
That's it. Idk why it's being given up on. It needs bug fixes and regular content updates and it's golden. The idea of the game and core mechanics are top tier.
@@AngrySecs after doing more research, apparently the issue is the engine it's made on. The frostbite engine isn't made for open world games, it's EAs engine that they forced the devs to make. The world has to be instanced since the engine can't handle an open world. The engine was originally made for first person action shooters, not open world 3rd person mmos. That was ultimately the downfall. What the devs wanted to do they had to scrap and try and work around this shitty engine EA made. That's why no one else can pick up the game, because no matter what the devs did there were way too many issue and restrictions to really put the full ambition of the game into play. A new dev team would have to completely rebuild the game on a different engine.
@@kangerer8886 would take a very long time and I don't know if any company would take that risk, the hype would be fine and people wouldn't have faith, as most people didnt go out of their way to learn about the downfall
Respawn was gonna remake it and pull a no mans sky but EA said nope and they had to move on and work on more titanfall and mass effect
Give it content and more freedom and you’ve got an absolute banger of a game. Easy S tier in my books
Honestly the game could be such a gem. The combat is actually super fun.
I'm sad about what this game could've become but couldn't in the end.
This game was actually a lot of fun for the most part. Some things did become a bit too repetitive and some of the missions weren’t the best but, it was still fun. I mainly stopped playing because I could no longer find other players.
The lack of players is really sad, they should just leave the game for free and profit with cosmetics and a battle pass system, it would keep the game alive and maybe with the increase of players it could give enough motivation for them to keep working on it.
@@vonkrieg9642 I think Anthem is free on xbox game pass now! This video actually made me want to try out Anthem so if it still is on gamepass I'll gladly try it out
Luke please do an ultimate critique video on Kena Bridge of Spirits. It's one of the best indie games ever made to date. It's up there with Undertale and Outer Wilds in my opinion
I remember getting early access to the and playing it, my family only had 1 gaming console so my brother, father, and I all took turns playing and LOVED it we enjoyed anthem so much that when the early access ended my father instantly went to preorder it, and when he said he was doing this I told him this game was super fun but if thats all their is to it i dont think itll be worth. I got hand waved as they both said no ways thats all their is, its just early access and anyways it was fun wasnt it. Not even a week after release and neither of them were touching the game anymore.
I've discovered Anthem this year and I have to say, you pretty much nailed it in the description. It is a fun to play game for 50-90 minutes and then done. I guess my biggest criticism is that every time you go out in a mission it is the exact same thing, very very predictable. You go to a point, then you have to go to another point, then you have to go to a third point, then in the forth or fifth point you get your final battle and go home. With such an open world, it is a shame that one doesn't get to do exploration, race against time, clue finding or even going back and forth between locations you've been once in a map to bring back something... It definitely feels like they've run out of creativity and released the most bland possible version of what this game could have been.
you can do some of that in freeplay though. time trials included
I really loke anthem. It has the bones to be great. It just didn't live up to its potential. I still play it from time to time. The flying and gunplay are top notch.
Yeah, it definitely doesn’t suck. The amount of fun you have over comes all the shortcomings. Wish it were longer but I did put 150+ hours into. Anyway, poor take here. He didn’t really get into the bones of the game. I keep it installed and jumó in time to time myself too.
I'm one of the few that still adores this game to this day. It is what really got me back into gaming HARD. Nothing(to me,) is quite as cool as flying around the world. I used to boot in just to fly around. Combat was fun, but there just wasn't any substance.
The mechanics of Anthem were so great. The Interceptor feels so good to move and fight with. But there's no game there. I'm still waiting for someone to duplicate that feel in a better package.
Nice Setup man.
When I first saw the suits for this game, I was immediately hooked. They looked so badass and awesome……
And I just felt hollow after trying it out. It being online only didn’t make me feel any better. Honestly I would have just made it offline only after it failed
The gameplay was so fun. This is my biggest disappoint in a game.
The combat really was amazing and the flying mechanics were super fun. Man this one really hurt.
I remember somehow getting into the closed beta weekend of this thing (nvidia gave me a key for being a long-time customer, or something?)
What I played I enjoyed the hell out of, but there was nothing to do, nothing to really get, and while flying around the world was cool the flying itself made me want to throw my computer at the wall
I got stuck underwater once because the controls were so bad I couldn't "turn" myself out and away from the cave I was in
Anthem is like a bag of lays, there’s some good stuff in there. Some is mis shapen and over or undercooked, but it’s mostly air
This was the last time I preordered a game. It broke my heart. Stupid EA and BioWare.
Me and my sons hop on and play a few missions every few months. It's a descent hour of fun. After that hour or so we are all ready to move on. The movement and combat still is quite satisfying. Just nothing to do with it. Loading times and how much loading is still my biggest gripe. That, and the lack of anything to do.
The flying should’ve been part of the combat man
I appreciate how often you revisit games to give them another shot. It seems nowadays you seldom can get excited for a game until 6 months after it’s been released.
It’s so difficult to make an opinion when all reviews and chatter was only for when it was initially released.
Good shit Luke
I bought Anthem for 10 bucks at a Gamestop located in some Mall while I was visiting my girlfriend back in college. The dude behind the counter literally begged me not to buy it (I thought bruh was willing to fight me with how adamant he was about not wanting me to leave the store with that game lmao). For 10$ I got my enjoyments worth out of it, and I also use the game case to this day to roll weed on so it was good for something I suppose
He’s a real one fr ☝️ 😂
That’s like predicting the weather by walking outside and saying it’s going to rain while you’re getting wet from the rain if that wasn’t clear
I was so excited for this game, I pre ordered and everything. Haven’t pre ordered a game since
Dude I've been playing all this week I'm back on it wish they kept support for this amazing game
The servers are still up?
It had soo much potential. Loved playing it. for the first 50 hrs.
Dope AC chair bro! 🙏🏼
cant wait for this game to release
When?
One of the few great things about this game is its soundtrack - I can't even express how amazing Anthem's music is. Seriously, guys, check it out and give it a go. Sarah Schachner did a stellar job of creating sort of ancient / futuristic / alien / still recognisable take on gaming soundtrack and it really gives you the glimpse of what Anthem really should have been. I listen to it while driving almost every day or two.
If they allowed them to do that massive update on this game it would still be around and most likely thriving.
Such a beautiful game with so much potential but sadly never reached it
there is something to the art direction that just draws me in so badly that I have to look for youtube videos like these to snap me out of it lol
There’s a few games that I already know to be trash, but every now n then I’ll see a Screenshot or ad for a new update that almost gets me. There’s too many game that aesthetically look good but are garbage🤣🤦🏾♂️
I played the beta and it crashed on the first mission. I thought to myself, "...and now I never have to play this game again."
I meeeeaaan. In fairness, if you were playing a beta, crashes and bugs are expected, it's a beta, did you report the crash or just give up? Lol
@@thetrashcanman7537 No, but that's the idea of an open beta, especially when you opt in to play it. Are you new to gaming?
Did this game ever finish being in Beta?
God it would be a dream come true if they ever took a swing at this IP again. Competently this time around. I really loved how the flying felt.
Genuinely love this game and still play, its great! Sad to see it never get the 2.0
