Never a good sign when Joe's review is 50+ minutes either. Okay, so you know you'll be entertained, but it's an immediate red flag that the game is bad.
Early Gamer This is true I still remember the earlier days of 2013 when joe was younger and had more energy when doing his reviews DMC devil may cry’s review was so hilarious it still makes me laugh even today and it’s now 6 years later joe is waaayyy to serious nowadays. I honestly blame EA and it’s investors for games like these everything they touch is bad news we all know BioWare wants to give us fans a new Star Wars knights of the old republic but because EA wants to please its investors it’s unlikely we will ever see another game like that as they shut down any company that decides to go off and make a decent game with story sad times indeed for the gaming industry.

You know what's funny... yall bitch about loading screens (which are fast on the Xbox one X) but no one says anything about how it takes 6-9 minutes to get into anything on Destiny 2. Yea... the game loads, then you click A, then it loads, then you pick your character, then it loads you into space... then you have a moving loading screen to get to any playable area in Destiny. Just saying... LMAO, yall bitch about everything
@@davismberea Yes, there are loading screens to get to a new destination, but every activity in the one you're currently at can be played without any loading. Also, you can still acess the F1 menu during loading screens, so you can craft, see triumphs, masterwork/infuse weapons, farm enhancement cores/Scrapper bounties (By crafting and dismanteling blues), change gear and customize it, tweak the perks of your weapons and armor, check the persuits and bounties you're holding, etc.
@@davismberea that isn't a problem in destiny, BECAUSE YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR GEAR ON THE MOVE. In anthem you just have to sit there forever, and you can't change anything, in fact its a loading screen just to be able to change anything. It is a pain in the ass and you need to admit that so that they can work on fixing it.
@Advanced assassination they didn't develop mass effect, they just acquired Bioware and we can all see it went to shit with them. And FIFA? The reskin of a game with smallest incremental changes each year? Gambling over player packs? Sure. Sure.
Staying away from this game fills me with a sense of pride and accomplishment Edit: So I randomly decided to watch this video again and I find out that this is my most liked comment. Neat
That’s not true at all there’s plenty of games that look the same it’s just some feel the need to lie when really in this day and age makes no sense cause graphics look good enough you don’t have to lie. Also that e3 footage was obviously fake like come on i knew that shit was fake when they decided to just show the same 4 clips over and over and concept art on stage
The Witcher 3 only took three and a half years to make. It had more weapons, more armor, more story, more missions, more voice acting, and more enemies. Almost 4 years later I’m still playing it with 200+ hours clocked in. Sure it’s a single player RPG but you’re telling me this is all the “legendary” BioWare could finish in over 6 years of development? Pathetic.
Not ATF well 1. Witcher 3 is single player which doesn’t require the same type of development. 2. It’s probably the frost bite engine. And for some reason all the 3rd person game’s for it are buggier than the first person games. Frostbite could be a pretty creation in regards to work with for all we know.
I would just like to reassure everyone that this video is 100% up to date....even 5 months later. Edit: Going towards 7 months and the cataclysm is the exact same mission over and over again - same enemies, same place, same time. Core issues with the game are still not addressed. Edit 2: Going towards 8 months. Post cataclysm the game has been abandoned by the developers for the remainder of the year... more news in 2020 Final edit: overhaul announced, eta unknown. Will the game be built upon or will it be scrapped, we do not know. In any case, pre order and first month buy is out of the question. Ultimate edit: Chris just left the anthem team and no one is taking his place. 99% sure the rework of anthem got canceled. There is no more hope, the anthem project is dead. Maximum Ultimate edit: Anthems future hangs in the balance as EA holds meetings to decide if the 2.0 will continue to be worked on or not. More news next week. Edit 9999999: There won’t be any further development efforts for anthem. F BioWare and F EA!
But isn't putting Jimmy in the trash (aka the place for trash) just as bad as putting him in the toilet (aka the place for shit)? I mean is saying someone is shit that much worse than calling them trash?
@@Ryder_OMEGA Amen to that However given EA's track record, I have no faith in them. Even if the loading screens are gone, Anthem 2.0 will just another MINIMUM VIABLE PRODUCT, like EA's every other product. BioWare ran out of money long ago (Jason Scheier's article confirmed that) and EA didn't want to spend any further on it that's why it wasn't delayed any further and was released in such a state. I'm sure EA is spending as little as they can (if they are spending anything at all in the first place), it would be will fixed in a bare minimum amount. If anyone is thinking that Anthem is going to witness some Renaissance, with new story, new missions, new stronghold, new raid, meaningful progression and a worthy product, I'm sorry but that is not going to happen, ever, not at least Anthem sequel arrives.
I had my finger hovering over the “confirm purchase” button and something in the back of my mind was like “stop it! Wait a couple months” and I’m glad i never bought the game.
Welp that's what happens when you try to do what Bungie did with destiny (2). Also this game never had any hope becouse of what I mentioned before. Had they just went with there own ideas for the game at the start it wouldn't have ended this way.
@@keithpierce5686 yep bungie has learned to do live service with trail and error but when bioware or 343 tried to do it they failed horribly because that's not the type of games they have been doing you can't have for example devs that are good in making single players games into live service always release more content devs
Joe, we as a community don’t say this enough but thanks to you, all of us broke ass people like me can purchase games with confidence and get out moneys worth, thank you so so much
You guys never learn. Next E3 EA will release another good looking demo and you guys will jump all over it and preorder and the same thing will happen. I've pretty much written EA off my gaming list. Did it all the way back in 2012
Yeah,I fucking hate how boring their games are now...where the fuck are the times of Dead Space,Mirror’s Edge,Mass Effect...oh wait,they killed those series
I'm done with anything relating to EA myself. I figured Anthem would be their redemption, but it served as a true representation and detriment of EA, and to anyone under their banner.
I've been done too. Done with activision first and then ubisoft. These 3 were good during PS2 days....but they have grown too much and great gaming experiences aren't their motives anymore
I like to do that also. Then they release game like Apex LEGENDS. that shows EA Devs still got it. They can make incredible games. They give us a game that will definitely kill Fortnite. APEX is that damn good.
I liked The Division's loot drops when I returned to it in Q1 2018. Good loot should be healthy with God Rolls being rare, not good loot being rare and God Rolls being impossible.
I always go to this review as the best proof that Joe is fair with his reviews. He didn't hesitate to take a chunk of his review to discuss the good points of the game, and acknowledging they exist, rather than putting them on a footnote. Once he starts yelling, it feels justified. Great stuff. See Anthem ? THAT is good pacing.
The EA cycle: 1. EA sees that a small developer made a good and popular game. 2. EA than buys said developer for a lot of money. 3. EA forces them to cram in terrible business practices into their games. 4. The game rightfully gets panned and criticized for it's rush of development and bad business practices. 5. The developer does this for the few next years. 6. The developer fails because of what EA did, EA no longer sees them as useful and destroys them. Dice and Bioware are next on the chopping block. Both of the developers past two games have been very unsuccessful, and now EA will soon think they are no longer useful, and destroy them.
Anthem was Bioware's project and EA gave them seven fucking years. Yeah EA is greedy and all that shit but Bioware is incompetent af. They couldn't make a good game with 7 years on hand. Blame the actual devs.
pancake frenzy and then what? Those two are literally the only big developers that gave EA any kind of bank. They’d be a publishing company WITHOUT A GAME TO PUBLISH! And then...they will finally BURRRRRNN
Hes sick and tired of EA's BS but wait and see what hes got in stored for that new EA star wars game to come out this year. He gon rip that to shreds lol
To people who thought about buying it in 2021, Don’t. Still an awful, broken and boring game EDIT: February 24,2021. That's it, Anthem 2.0 aka Next is cancelled.
LOL I'm sorry for laughing, as I know that some people probably wasted their money on false hope. And that's never funny. But I have a serious question here. Do you think they'll EVER finish this game?
@@hewhobattles8869 no EA does not fix their scams it wastes money they made their money off Anthem + a profit. They only care about them stock graphs we are the video game to EA so no they will never finish people shouldnt of bought a game from EA in the first place knowing damn well what would happen.
My brother bought Anthem so I tried to play it, kept falling asleep cause of the infinite load screen. I think that is the hardest boss in all gaming history.
@@caloconnor21 Yup! I thought Anthem is finally going to beat witcher 3 as an open world game, but apparently this is just another horde fighting and grinding game...
Always found it amazing how many "gamers" defended this game on social media. They mostly all quickly shut up and slunk away as the game devolved and got forgotten.
It's true. I think it's funny. Companies saw how much mmo's (the first gaas) were making so then EVERYONE tried to make an mmo. When that failed they just tried to mmo-ify every other game. I'm almost surprised Anthem isn't subscription based. Destiny practically is with its parade of dlcs. Even single player games have "daily" missions, pay to win microtransactions, and other mmo tropes these days.
I think Other Joe's story was more interesting then the review of this game. That guy is an amazing storyteller. Had me hooked till that twist ending. Unlike the rest of this predictable review :'c
Wula Lion well it’s a review, it’s supposed to be predictable if you know that it’s going to be a bad game review. What would you expect then, Joe kept talking about how bad the game is then gave it 10/10 out of nowhere?
@@ganny8149 No. you can start them from there . there is an exit door that starts missions and you can also access the Forge from within the start mission menu.. there are still loading screens though ...
How they made Anthem: Dev 1: "ohhh, Warframe, let's copy that" Dev 1: "ohhh, Destiny, let's copy that, too" Dev 2: "Warframe is free to play, no one likes this shit, let's delete everything again" Dev 3: "Is this Destiny?" Dev 1: "no"
I was one of the ones who said when the first Anthem trailers was released that it looked like a blatant Destiny clone, I was wrong, it ended up being actually worse than Destiny.
Right, companies have this idea that tons of useless detail is good story... good story in a good game should unfold over time naturally with subtle hints... not "OH HI!! I DID THIS ONCE!!! LOOK AT ME!! HELP ME WITH THIS"
Remember Borderlands 2? Cosmetics were free, RNG was great, weapons varied drastically, legendary loot looked amazing, skill treat was in depth with class mods, story was great and hilarious. Those were the good ol’ days... looter shooters before this fuckery!
Borderlands 2 was the only game that did the looter shooter right on day one. All the DLC they added were bonuses that added to the already complete experience, not added to *finish* the game. With the state of the genre, that particular part of the industry, and how Gearbox/2K have done things since Borderlands 2, I have a feeling Borderlands 3 will be filled with lootboxes and microtransactions, lacking content and be a massive disappointment.
Stories are told of a great game that has zero marketing and hype. This game was deemed the fortnite destroyer. It was deemed impossible by the dark Lord's. However when it came it swooped in and blew away every bioware ea dark lord. They we're all destroyed by the legends. The Apex legends.
But it was dev teams fault in the first place, they couldn't figure what they had to make while they had all resources and 6 years of time They just wasted it in restarting the development 3 times
@@damn6039 It was initially EAs fault because they forced every company under them to use the frost engine, which was designed specifically for battlefield and then gave them little to no help. Biowar was a strong second on the list tho.
It sounds like people who know nothing about gameplay did this. I mean really? On the LAST shot? Sure it lasts 20 seconds but you have to literally empty your magazine before getting any use out of that and that's on a legendary. Recoil also barely matters.
For twenty seconds. And stacks 2 times. It's a buff you get. I guess it would be great on weapons with awful recoil and small magazine sizes. If it takes less than 10 seconds to empty a whole magazine and to reload the weapon you would have zero recoil for all magazines after the first 2 (in case you never stop firing). It does make sense and could be useful. But if it's actually useful in that case I can't say (no idea how any of the weapons work in the game).
If that stacks times two, you can have zero recoil by your third magazine. If there's another passive that can reduce reload speed, maybe for each crit and stack tenfold, it could be interesting during long fights.
"They actually try to put a story in here..." Is this what Bioware has come to? We're obligated somehow to grant them props for merely adding a story at all? RIP Bioware, the storytelling company.
More like 2 Death Star lasers or planet busting asteroids. Thank god I spent 50$ on devil may cry 5 instead of fallout or ghost recon breakpoint or even this feast.
Anyone come back after avengers dropped? Honestly somehow this game was fun longer than playing as superheroes. Crystal dynamics dropped the ball hard, difference is they knew the game they were making.
Once again, I can't help thinking that they must have completely restarted the development couple of years ago. Something went terribly wrong and they had to start from the beginning with it. This game is what they could do in some 24 months or so, and the rest is coming within the next 24 months. Like some huge technical problem underlying the entire game that forced them to build it from scratch again. There is no way this game has seen 6 years of caring and loving from it's developers. No way! And we're talking about Bioware here, not some random rookie indie developer team. Something isn't right here. I can smell it in the air, and feel it in the ground, yet it's hidden from our eyes. The disaster of Anthem, which brought Bioware down.
Just because the developer bears the name "Bioware" means nothing. It is the people making the game that make up the development studio, not some arbitrary moniker. It's clear that this "Bioware" has little resemblance to what it was in the past.
It's January 19, 2021 4:41 PM EST and this review is still 100% accurate Edit: It is now May 27, 2023 12:32 AM EST and this review is still 100% accurate
Let's just ignore the fact that forcing an open world, an yet implementing a linear mission structure, was just a bad idea in general. What is the point of an open world, if you're going to force players out of the map as soon as they end the mission? Or force them to stay within a certain area? You might as well had a mission system similar to Rogue Squadron 64 at that point!
Fortnite: Save the World edition in a damn nutshell. Ugh. Maybe some of us *_W A N T_* to stay on the map and farm all of the shits??! Ya know? Maybe I WANT to punch all of the cars and harvest nuts and bolts? Maaaaaaaybe......I want to punch all of the buildings and make it a barren wasteland. Maybe I want to just sit on a map and body a bunch of husks? Still gonna play tho. I apparently like pain.
I FINALLY downloaded this and tried it (Game Pass of course). I finished 2 missions solo and uninstalled it immediately . Then I had to give my SSD a very thorough bath and send it to a few therapy sessions.
@@gaminggoof1542 it’s a 2/10. The extra 2 are for the ideas and possibility of what I could have been. If done right it could easily be among the 8,9/10 family or even higher.
Seriously, that moment where he was getting like 90% crits on that “legendary” enemy, it was insane how fucking long it took to kill it despite it just sitting there face-tanking all of that damage. Ffs
It's easy, don't spend money on western games. And I know I sound like a weeb but seriously, the japanese have been putting out great games with little to no extra monetization, good gameplay and most importantly fun. Nioh, Dark Souls 3, Nier Automata and Monster Hunter World are games I've played way too much whereas Red Dead Redemption 2 is basically collecting dust in my shelf ._.
If you actually willingly considered buying this horseshit even before Joe released his review, then you might go to a doctor to have your brain scanned.
Joe I've been following you now for years and have never wrote a comment until now. I just want to say you are 100% the best reviewer I know and I always look forward to your videos. Joe, Other Joe and Delerith thank you all for your hard work. Legends.
*"When a player picks up Anthem, I want them to feel... like they're a hero."* In addition to that being the most generic goal I've ever heard, it also rings too true in the sense it takes a tremendous amount of bravery and fortitude to even bother with the game.
i tried to watch the story on YT..15 mins in i just dropped it...it has nice graphics, good voiceovers, and nothing else sad to see a giant corporation being bested by a simple goldfish
If you spoke to Warframe vets ..... Well you would be speaking to then as they play FF14 and Geshin Impact....... Cause those games treat their time better than Warframe did
One is subscription based and the other is a mobile game that I ran out of things to do within less than 2 weeks. Would rather play eso than FF14, it just feels overwhelming at times
Lmao. May 2021, I see that Anthem is on-sale in the Microsoft Store for $5.99..... Never heard of it before tonight, but the graphics looked too gorgeous to be at a 90% discount without some catch. *Watches Angry Joe* Yep, there it is....
Fuck you. Clearly shows you're just some slimy little reddit-turd knowing AngryJoe just since 2 years or so. This is run-of-othe-mill quality, and by the way, what not getting 2-weekly or at least monthly is what everyone has been complaining about. Even so, this is what the channel is all about, nothing else. You turd.
running with the colossus was oddly satisfying; I felt like a huge tank and the flying was fun like you said but the missions were so repetitive and guns felt reskinned for the most part. What a shame indeed the game had so much potential.
New mental illness test: If you keep buying EA games after EA has proven themselves to make bugged trash games with shady features in them. Just keep buying them and we'll know how troubled your mind is. Especially when you act surprised and angry after buying an expected trash game. This doesn't go for reviewers. They need to inform their audiences. Regular consumers have no excuse when they still buy EA games.
@@TheAxeLordOfFire I didn't like ME3. And it wasn't just the last five minutes. Or the magic maggupin out of nowhere to solve every problem, Or the stripped down RPG elements. Or the Occasional bout of bad writing. Or the Day one DLC. Or the stupid, micro transaction filled multiplayer you were punished for not playing. In fact, I could go on for hours about every little thing I hated about ME3. But I doubt you'd be interested. It wasnt the last 'good' bioware game, Because it wasn't actually good.
I remember a friend of mine was tight lip determined to defend this game when it came out and I pointed out it's flaws. A couple of months later he was like "yeah....." 😅
I gotta say, I get on RUclips to burn 10-15 minutes here and there by watching 5 minute videos, but your reviews get me to sit down for nearly an hour and I barely notice. I love how you break down each part of the game and go into detail, keep it up boss. These are the lifeblood of modern game reviews 👍🏻💪🏻🙌🏻
Burnouts And Bourbon How are these lifeblood of modern game reviews? There are +3 hour reviews of games that go into deeper detail than Angry Joe ever will
@@Lunartic_ Maybe he means compared to the shills that take money and just put out a 10/10 without even playing it like some review sites, just a guess tho
Lunartic This is just me personally, but I wouldn’t watch a 3 hour review. I think this strikes a good balance of being in depth enough to give salient examples of each positive or negative aspect of the game, while still maintaining a broader overview of the product as a whole from a consumer-centered mindset.

2. It’s probably the frost bite engine. And for some reason all the 3rd person game’s for it are buggier than the first person games. Frostbite could be a pretty creation in regards to work with for all we know.
All hail the great Geraldo! All hail cdpr! Curse you bioware! EA bad!
Back to waiting for Cyberpunk 2077
I loved the fact the two background characters hold an entire conversation then turn to look at you like "evaluation please"

*You done fu-*
*LOADING SCREEN !!!*
Instant Thumbs Up
I know right lol I had to watch that beginning again because I was laughing so hard the first time it happened
I laughed so hard I was choking on thin air.
I would just like to reassure everyone that this video is 100% up to date....even 5 months later.
Edit: Going towards 7 months and the cataclysm is the exact same mission over and over again - same enemies, same place, same time. Core issues with the game are still not addressed.
Edit 2: Going towards 8 months. Post cataclysm the game has been abandoned by the developers for the remainder of the year... more news in 2020
Final edit: overhaul announced, eta unknown. Will the game be built upon or will it be scrapped, we do not know. In any case, pre order and first month buy is out of the question.
Ultimate edit: Chris just left the anthem team and no one is taking his place. 99% sure the rework of anthem got canceled. There is no more hope, the anthem project is dead.
Maximum Ultimate edit: Anthems future hangs in the balance as EA holds meetings to decide if the 2.0 will continue to be worked on or not. More news next week.
Edit 9999999: There won’t be any further development efforts for anthem. F BioWare and F EA!
Damn it's on sale for 20 dollars and I sadly was hoping they fixed everything before buying it

What did Jimmy have? Why did he vibrate to oblivion? Was the trash taken out? Find out next time on Loading Screens!! *epic music plays*

Wait until it comes on the PS5 Sony promise that loading screens do not exist.
@@Ryder_OMEGA Amen to that
However given EA's track record, I have no faith in them. Even if the loading screens are gone, Anthem 2.0 will just another MINIMUM VIABLE PRODUCT, like EA's every other product.
BioWare ran out of money long ago (Jason Scheier's article confirmed that) and EA didn't want to spend any further on it that's why it wasn't delayed any further and was released in such a state.
I'm sure EA is spending as little as they can (if they are spending anything at all in the first place), it would be will fixed in a bare minimum amount.
If anyone is thinking that Anthem is going to witness some Renaissance, with new story, new missions, new stronghold, new raid, meaningful progression and a worthy product, I'm sorry but that is not going to happen, ever, not at least Anthem sequel arrives.
@@Ryder_OMEGA the overhaul probably wont comeout till midway through next gen
@@Ryder_OMEGA PS5 will have loading screens. It's an underpowered shitbox. Xbox Series X will not, though. 100% guaranteed.

@@keithpierce5686 yep bungie has learned to do live service with trail and error but when bioware or 343 tried to do it they failed horribly because that's not the type of games they have been doing you can't have for example devs that are good in making single players games into live service always release more content devs

You guys never learn. Next E3 EA will release another good looking demo and you guys will jump all over it and preorder and the same thing will happen. I've pretty much written EA off my gaming list. Did it all the way back in 2012
Yeah,I fucking hate how boring their games are now...where the fuck are the times of Dead Space,Mirror’s Edge,Mass Effect...oh wait,they killed those series
I'm done with anything relating to EA myself. I figured Anthem would be their redemption, but it served as a true representation and detriment of EA, and to anyone under their banner.
Let's just see how EA gets greedy with Apex because of its success and kills the game and/or Respawn too.
I've been done too. Done with activision first and then ubisoft. These 3 were good during PS2 days....but they have grown too much and great gaming experiences aren't their motives anymore
I like to do that also. Then they release game like Apex LEGENDS. that shows EA Devs still got it. They can make incredible games. They give us a game that will definitely kill Fortnite. APEX is that damn good.
Anthem makes me think about how amazing a single player, story driven, open world, RPG version of anthem would have been.
Other Joe's story was actually more interesting than most of the NPC stories in Anthem.
Yeah, RIP OJs goldfish. Press F
no joke if they were all like that id prolly buy it, cause then i'd at least laugh a lil bit.

I liked The Division's loot drops when I returned to it in Q1 2018. Good loot should be healthy with God Rolls being rare, not good loot being rare and God Rolls being impossible.
And Borderlands had it right all the way back in 2009!!
Caelen Dunne I feel like a lot of game publishers live in their own reality where consumers want to buy disappointments every few months.
That Goldfish story from Other Joe was more engaging and interesting than nearly all of the NPC conversations you have in the game

It was lol..... I didnt even play the game
Really people? Really?
Hey atleast it had NPCs, unlike Fallout 76.
If I make a RPG game I want Other Joe doing all dialogues
I always go to this review as the best proof that Joe is fair with his reviews. He didn't hesitate to take a chunk of his review to discuss the good points of the game, and acknowledging they exist, rather than putting them on a footnote. Once he starts yelling, it feels justified. Great stuff. See Anthem ? THAT is good pacing.
3 years late but you know it's bad when a review of your game has better pacing than your game.
@@James_Randalmy name is James Randall and I’m 82 years old
The EA cycle:
1. EA sees that a small developer made a good and popular game.
2. EA than buys said developer for a lot of money.
3. EA forces them to cram in terrible business practices into their games.
4. The game rightfully gets panned and criticized for it's rush of development and bad business practices.
5. The developer does this for the few next years.
6. The developer fails because of what EA did, EA no longer sees them as useful and destroys them.
Dice and Bioware are next on the chopping block. Both of the developers past two games have been very unsuccessful, and now EA will soon think they are no longer useful, and destroy them.
EA: "I keep doing the same thing, expecting different results, over, and over. It must the fault of my underlings. They're the ones who did this."
Ea doesn't force them the developers want to make this crap cause it makes them money too
Anthem was Bioware's project and EA gave them seven fucking years. Yeah EA is greedy and all that shit but Bioware is incompetent af. They couldn't make a good game with 7 years on hand. Blame the actual devs.
pancake frenzy and then what? Those two are literally the only big developers that gave EA any kind of bank. They’d be a publishing company WITHOUT A GAME TO PUBLISH!
And then...they will finally BURRRRRNN
Who's next? Respawn entertainment... Shit!

Just wait a couple years. It just gets worse.
I agree hence why I won't buy any
It's true. I think it's funny. Companies saw how much mmo's (the first gaas) were making so then EVERYONE tried to make an mmo. When that failed they just tried to mmo-ify every other game. I'm almost surprised Anthem isn't subscription based. Destiny practically is with its parade of dlcs. Even single player games have "daily" missions, pay to win microtransactions, and other mmo tropes these days.
It's not bad when the released product is actually playable and enjoyable.

Imagine a looter shooter without cosmetic drops. This game is a disater.

Dev 1: "ohhh, Destiny, let's copy that, too"
Dev 2: "Warframe is free to play, no one likes this shit, let's delete everything again"
Dev 3: "Is this Destiny?"
Dev 1: "no"

But now they have brought back mass effect
Other Joe’s dialogue had more and better story than the whole game
It actually did have more entertainment vaule than the entire game.
Right, companies have this idea that tons of useless detail is good story... good story in a good game should unfold over time naturally with subtle hints... not "OH HI!! I DID THIS ONCE!!! LOOK AT ME!! HELP ME WITH THIS"
Who wants to know what happened to Jimmy's remains?
I actually want more.
Why did Jimmy explode? Is it the deadbeat friend? Is that condition contagious? I need the lore!
Remember Borderlands 2? Cosmetics were free, RNG was great, weapons varied drastically, legendary loot looked amazing, skill treat was in depth with class mods, story was great and hilarious. Those were the good ol’ days... looter shooters before this fuckery!
AnberlinRoxxforeal i hope we see Borderlands 3 on E3 2019
AnberlinRoxxforeal what is RNG?
Treyton Vu Morris random number generater
Borderlands 2 was the only game that did the looter shooter right on day one. All the DLC they added were bonuses that added to the already complete experience, not added to *finish* the game.
With the state of the genre, that particular part of the industry, and how Gearbox/2K have done things since Borderlands 2, I have a feeling Borderlands 3 will be filled with lootboxes and microtransactions, lacking content and be a massive disappointment.
Treyton Vu Morris basically what generates loot when you open up a chest or box.
I love how excited he is while reviewing the game and how bored he is playing the game
Stories are told of a great game that has zero marketing and hype. This game was deemed the fortnite destroyer. It was deemed impossible by the dark Lord's. However when it came it swooped in and blew away every bioware ea dark lord. They we're all destroyed by the legends. The Apex legends.

and ea made off with our money like crimnals robbing a bank
But it was dev teams fault in the first place, they couldn't figure what they had to make while they had all resources and 6 years of time
They just wasted it in restarting the development 3 times
@@damn6039 It was initially EAs fault because they forced every company under them to use the frost engine, which was designed specifically for battlefield and then gave them little to no help. Biowar was a strong second on the list tho.
That dialogue about the exploding goldfish was actually several times more interesting than the in-game dialogue.
Not really
For this part alone this vid earned a like.
Yeah, a like just for that joke alone.
Nah that part was funny as hell.
I lost it at "Last shot reduces recoil -50%"
lol WHY?????
If it carries to the next magazine it might... might not be that bad, but it is still dumb as hell.
It sounds like people who know nothing about gameplay did this.
I mean really? On the LAST shot?
Sure it lasts 20 seconds but you have to literally empty your magazine before getting any use out of that and that's on a legendary. Recoil also barely matters.
The 0% flamethrower for 0 seconds is what lost me
For twenty seconds. And stacks 2 times. It's a buff you get.
I guess it would be great on weapons with awful recoil and small magazine sizes. If it takes less than 10 seconds to empty a whole magazine and to reload the weapon you would have zero recoil for all magazines after the first 2 (in case you never stop firing).
It does make sense and could be useful. But if it's actually useful in that case I can't say (no idea how any of the weapons work in the game).
If that stacks times two, you can have zero recoil by your third magazine. If there's another passive that can reduce reload speed, maybe for each crit and stack tenfold, it could be interesting during long fights.
"They actually try to put a story in here..." Is this what Bioware has come to? We're obligated somehow to grant them props for merely adding a story at all? RIP Bioware, the storytelling company.

ikr?the game shouldve been made by a good company remember deus ex died for the avengers
Anthem is more fun? That says alot.
Once again, I can't help thinking that they must have completely restarted the development couple of years ago. Something went terribly wrong and they had to start from the beginning with it. This game is what they could do in some 24 months or so, and the rest is coming within the next 24 months. Like some huge technical problem underlying the entire game that forced them to build it from scratch again. There is no way this game has seen 6 years of caring and loving from it's developers. No way! And we're talking about Bioware here, not some random rookie indie developer team. Something isn't right here. I can smell it in the air, and feel it in the ground, yet it's hidden from our eyes. The disaster of Anthem, which brought Bioware down.
Just because the developer bears the name "Bioware" means nothing. It is the people making the game that make up the development studio, not some arbitrary moniker. It's clear that this "Bioware" has little resemblance to what it was in the past.
I definitely agree with you. There's no way this is the product of 6 years of development.

a AAA game doesnt take 24 months to make... As usual you think its as simple as writing a line of code and everything works perfectly.

Let's just ignore the fact that forcing an open world, an yet implementing a linear mission structure, was just a bad idea in general. What is the point of an open world, if you're going to force players out of the map as soon as they end the mission? Or force them to stay within a certain area? You might as well had a mission system similar to Rogue Squadron 64 at that point!

Joe I've been following you now for years and have never wrote a comment until now. I just want to say you are 100% the best reviewer I know and I always look forward to your videos. Joe, Other Joe and Delerith thank you all for your hard work. Legends.
Amen.
The most reliable reviewer
Meike Nazeki The only one I really listen to.
ACG does a very well good job too I like Joe as well but he dosent review many games
I would have added TB and Jim Sterling. In modern times, you can't truly tell who is unbiased.
*"When a player picks up Anthem, I want them to feel... like they're a hero."*
In addition to that being the most generic goal I've ever heard, it also rings too true in the sense it takes a tremendous amount of bravery and fortitude to even bother with the game.
OJ's story about his goldfish is more interesting than the game's story.
Ludger Kresnik real and true LULW
Stfu hate Train kiddo
If you want to see the end of the Saga of Jimmy the Exploding Goldfish, then be sure to buy the DLC expansion pack!
Only $60!
@@naalir6120 You are sad your favorite game got shit on?
i tried to watch the story on YT..15 mins in i just dropped it...it has nice graphics, good voiceovers, and nothing else
sad to see a giant corporation being bested by a simple goldfish
Can EA stop parading around Bioware's corpse? Please? It's starting to smell, and the worms falling out of it's decaying body is scaring the children.
This is so true its not even funny
@@Stormreagge yep
Mass effect was sacrificed for this? Arguably the best sci fi franchise was cannibalized for this
they aint dead, genius.
@@bluemoon1716 its on hold, they never said there would b no more ME games.
Review is 20 minutes long, the rest of the video is a loading screen.
Holy fuck the video is 50 minutes 😂😂😂 dis gun b good
It immediately felt somehow familiar to me
Imagine a free to play game *cough cough* warframe did it better
If you spoke to Warframe vets ..... Well you would be speaking to then as they play FF14 and Geshin Impact....... Cause those games treat their time better than Warframe did
@@Sonichero151 well the overpriced microtransactions in genshin impact puts it below warframe
One is subscription based and the other is a mobile game that I ran out of things to do within less than 2 weeks. Would rather play eso than FF14, it just feels overwhelming at times
I came here for loading screens and I see some gameplay...wtf Joe?
What Happened in 6 year development of anthem?
EA: I don't have time to explain while I don't have to time to explain.
Execs bought a couple lambos from pre sales then ran out of cash
I think the phrase is why not while
I could tell you
I could tell you
Muhahahahaaaaaaaa
Hey Joe, wanna play another loading game?
and I thought fo4 with an HDD was bad
Sonic 06
godzilla is aproaching the loading screen, godzilla is aproaching the loading screen
@@mcbadrobotvoice8155 Sonic 06 is at least hilarious with how much you can break the game.
StaticShock42 that’s fair
Lmao. May 2021, I see that Anthem is on-sale in the Microsoft Store for $5.99..... Never heard of it before tonight, but the graphics looked too gorgeous to be at a 90% discount without some catch.
*Watches Angry Joe*
Yep, there it is....
“Theeeere it is.” 🤣👍🏼
Is it still that bad?
@@G4meplayVids Yes.
@@G4meplayVids not just bad, but also dead
I'm from 2022
I got this game cuz it's FREE
I don't know about you guys, but i would listen to Other Joe tell stories all damn day.
Me too man me too
Haha
Lol. Guy is hilarious. Does he have his own channel?
Preach
Damn right! I bet those sketches are better, or at least more fun, than entire Anthem!
Can we just appreciate how well made and entertaining this review was? Keep up the good work Joe! 👍
Repetative statments for first 10min but once he got going it got very good
Fuck you. Clearly shows you're just some slimy little reddit-turd knowing AngryJoe just since 2 years or so. This is run-of-othe-mill quality, and by the way, what not getting 2-weekly or at least monthly is what everyone has been complaining about. Even so, this is what the channel is all about, nothing else. You turd.
I enjoyed it! Joe and ACG are my go tos for game reviews. Clearly they rushed the game, hopefully it’ll get better.
@Jackalofdeath Psychopath? Something tells me you have not been paying attention to what he says, and... wait a sec, why are you even here??
More thought was put into this review than the entire game.
SWTOR: We got rid of a lot of our loading screens. What should we do with them?
Anthem: We'll take those off your hands.
what ever loading screens SWTOR lost anthem found.
Annnnnd Anthem is now officially dead! What a shame and I enjoy the gameplay flying around the map but that's about it. Bye bye Anthem
Good riddance.
running with the colossus was oddly satisfying; I felt like a huge tank and the flying was fun like you said but the missions were so repetitive and guns felt reskinned for the most part. What a shame indeed the game had so much potential.
EA: thanks for your money, bye bye!
New mental illness test:
If you keep buying EA games after EA has proven themselves to make bugged trash games with shady features in them. Just keep buying them and we'll know how troubled your mind is. Especially when you act surprised and angry after buying an expected trash game.
This doesn't go for reviewers. They need to inform their audiences. Regular consumers have no excuse when they still buy EA games.
@Ron Swanson 2K isn't EA, their owned by Take-Two.
@Ron Swanson Dumbass lol
Well imo Titanfall 2 was actually a really amazing game
Hey old school BF games are still good :/
@@Jackyyeah_ That was before ea bought respawn.
"you backstabing rat.... i should have never trusted you!"
i think the trailer was trying to tell us something
I think you're right.
"You sold us out!"
@Bruce Wade IDK about anyone else, but I stopped getting Bioware games after ME3.
I still feel a little upset when I think about that game.
AsaelTheBeast ME3 was the last good BioWare game. Everything else was either mediocre or god-awful.
@@TheAxeLordOfFire I didn't like ME3.
And it wasn't just the last five minutes. Or the magic maggupin out of nowhere to solve every problem, Or the stripped down RPG elements. Or the Occasional bout of bad writing. Or the Day one DLC. Or the stupid, micro transaction filled multiplayer you were punished for not playing.
In fact, I could go on for hours about every little thing I hated about ME3. But I doubt you'd be interested. It wasnt the last 'good' bioware game, Because it wasn't actually good.
I remember a friend of mine was tight lip determined to defend this game when it came out and I pointed out it's flaws. A couple of months later he was like "yeah....." 😅
I gotta say, I get on RUclips to burn 10-15 minutes here and there by watching 5 minute videos, but your reviews get me to sit down for nearly an hour and I barely notice. I love how you break down each part of the game and go into detail, keep it up boss. These are the lifeblood of modern game reviews 👍🏻💪🏻🙌🏻
Burnouts And Bourbon How are these lifeblood of modern game reviews? There are +3 hour reviews of games that go into deeper detail than Angry Joe ever will
@@Lunartic_ Maybe he means compared to the shills that take money and just put out a 10/10 without even playing it like some review sites, just a guess tho
Lunartic This is just me personally, but I wouldn’t watch a 3 hour review. I think this strikes a good balance of being in depth enough to give salient examples of each positive or negative aspect of the game, while still maintaining a broader overview of the product as a whole from a consumer-centered mindset.
Burnouts And Bourbon
Yeah i also just go on RUclips 10-15 minutes... i mean I wouldn’t waste a whole afternoon ... right?
... oh who am i kidding
its a shame gaming is dying
