So... I Tried ANTHEM In 2024
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2024
- Five years after its release, I finally decided to check out 2019's Anthem. As a big fan of the Looter Shooter genre, and 3rd person shooters in particular- I knew at some point I needed to experience the game that soared big in potential, but fell under the weight of player expectation. Let me know your thoughts!

Trying something a bit different with this one! Hope you all enjoy!
The other day I seen this, thought the same.
Did nothing about it, here you go and do this.
I just recently tried it. It was actually pretty fun, but yes had so much potential but they dropped the ball. Great video.
@@i.j.h.9767 I’m unable to get past the connect screen on PlayStation. Any help ?
Because you mentioned the 30fps…anthem is one of the fps boost titles. In the game settings of the game itself on your Xbox (Burger Button and then manage installed game) you can activate fps boost. This unlocks the fps for the game and you can play in 60fps.
@@PocketProducer2k I wish they would have enabled that by default! Thanks so much for letting me know!
Anthem deserved better .
No it didn’t it was a trash cash grab game it deserved worst
Facts bra
It rightly got what it deserved.
It really did, had lots of potential too
@@Rambo007-_- right and wrong
In my opinion there has never been another game that lets you just fly around in an open world immediately engage in combat and leave. The power fantasy and combat mechanics were sooo good
Absolutely!
This game really did play like an absolute dream, it just had a bad lack of content on launch and they never really recovered after that. Very unfortunate cause I’d love to hop back in it
I am also playing it for the first time this year and OVERALL I am enjoying it.
The problems everyone already said what it was - mostly the lack of content.
Any of the superhero MMOs - City of Heroes, DC Universe Online, etc
Bud, that's not an opinion...
This game had SOOOOOO much promise and had a really great engine. Hopefully, SOMEONE picks it up and does it justice.
The engine was one of the things holding it back
It'll need a FFXIV treatment. Nuke the world, build 2.0 on unreal 5, and have a team that wants to win.
Respawn should buy it and take it to the next level.
It really didn't, it was doomed from the start. The problem is they marketed it into something they wanted to make the game into instead of what the game was being built already as.
Nope they were working on a revamp but gave up on it
It sucks because EA had Anthem 2.0 in the works, they showed how the whole game was going to change , specs , new classes everything. But they pulled the plug on 2.0
Definitely would have been very interesting to see what was all apart of 2.0...
@@RogueGold There are actually videos of it if you are genuinely interested. I'm sure you would actually have to look for them pretty hard, but they are out there.
You never know what you have till it’s gone. Lol Everyone nonstop complained about Anthom for like 2 years straight that’s why they pulled the plug 😂. Someone said it sucked and others followed without any more information. I’ve never played it but I remember all the “criticism”
@Holy_Bible_Reads_Ai No, people were complaining because they had the right to.
EA pulled the plug because it's EA we are talking about.
You know...
Chaotic development (making Bioware crumbling on themselves), game released too soon, bugged af, poor endgame content and the list goes on.
They got the money, were too lazy to make the game better and left to destroy another game like they always do (look at Wild hearts)
EA destroys everything they touch.
You didn't play the game, I suppose?
@@jacktheripper7935 yessir I just said I never played the game and you pretty much just paraphrased exactly what I said, but in more detail.
I’m not wrong I said people complained about the game for two years straight 😂 you can’t tell me they didn’t I saw them complain. It was a joke how much people ate that game alive. It looked fun at least flying around lol
This game had so much potential for something grand. If EA weren't so greedy, they could have kept the OG development team intact from the beginning and delivered on the epic story we were led to believe it was going to have. I'm honestly surprised the servers are still live. I can only hope that one day EA will see what they missed and will put another team together to finish what was started.
The crazy thing was, for once this wasn't EA's fault, this was all on Bioware, all the decisions were theirs.
History of this game. Bioware dragged their feet until 18 months before the game was released. What we played was what they could do in that time frame. They wasted like 3 years before that. After Anthem failed, Bioware assigned a small team to create Anthem 2.0. They were adding skill trees, new classes, and a real road map to more changes. EA decided during the Pandemic to shut it all down. It will never be finished.
EA is easily swayed. If enough people are playing they might come back
@@LancerX916The years before the actual development wasn't wasted. That's how great worlds are made. The same happened with Dragon Age, they spent years on the world first. And both games are exceptional in this regard.
@@zorlac4884 not true. EA controls the $$$$$, bioware made the game. Studio got shut down is an EA decision not a bioware one.
Its honestly SHOCKING that you even CAN play this game in 2024. Id have expected EA to shut the servers down years ago.
I'm wondering how he even got in. I can't get past the intro screen
@@kinman3051 lol, i can play it normally. What i can't play from ea is MEA multiplayer
You can still find people in game to play with you sometimes. Is bad that the gamer reviewers destroyed the game image to the point EA abandonned the project.
@@kinman3051 I tried just now and was able to get into the game and do missions.
Damn, if everyone's able to do it I'd better try. Here's to hoping playstation works
I miss this game so much. The 'base' ranger class actually had such a wonderful gameplay loop centered around grenade and gun combo's/multipliers that felt better than most other games I've ever played. They absolutely nailed the personality of each class and you never felt bad being grouped with any variation of suits because they all brought great stuff to the table. Heartbreaking what happened to the game honestly.
It's on sale again on all platforms. I just started and got a group on the first mission. Quite a few people still play.
I really enjoyed Anthem, as a person with over 246 hours. The combat is actually fun, and the flight is some of the best flight I have played. You can actually feel how different the different suits are in playstyles. There was decent variance in weapons. You could customize your suits and load out. This game actually seemed like it would challenge Destiny.
Aint no way
The combat was genuinely so addictive.
I also really enjoyed it and wish they wouldve stuck by it.
The only looter that can beat Destiny is Destiny itself
Warframe already did years ago
I didn't know you could still play this, but that said this game had so much potential that was squandered caused by development hell.
I think im going to re-install and just mess around with some flying and combat. Miss this game!! I loved the combat gameplay and flying. It all gave such a great adrenaline feeling.
Its one of those things. I LOVE Anthem. Replaying it is so bittersweet. Because it is fun, and beautiful and unique. But the campaign really is empty and boring. And you see so many little things "ugh if they had just done this or that, it would have been so much better". but we'll never see a sequel or likely any attempt at something similar. We'll never know an Anthem fully realized because Bioware gave up.
What they did to this game is a tragedy. It had so much promise.
Totally maxed out 3 of the 4 exos. I loved this game so much, have about 400 hours in it. I cant tell you how livid i was with ea for stopping support. Never touching another ea game again
If you read more into it and it’s development, you’ll surprisingly see that BioWare is the one at fault for Anthems downfall, not EA. Not saying that EA is great but BioWare really dropped the ball in terms of development.
As per my own reply to this video, Amen to that! I won't give EA/Bioware another penny of my money.
@@Rye_-kq3jn damn, I didn't know that. But it really is such a shame, ea is huge and always has been so you know they had the money to support it but I'm sure didn't even try. But alright then, fuck bioware and ea 😂
It seemed to me that the cancellation was in part due to lack of support and interest from gamers.
Mee Too!
Game had so much potential seriously
I remember there being a lady in some corner shop. All the npcs kept saying she had like the worst items in shop, but the first thing I bought before I unlocked the colossus, was an upgrade that made the colossus essentially immortal with a lot of armor. It got me to the endgame without ever dying or even getting hurt. I stopped playing a while ago so I don’t remember much. I remember cloning the bald person and eventually getting to the mission where I was like in another dimension and the voice lines were like “oh I’m hurt I’m barely making it out of here” and I took like no damage because of the very first thing I bought from that lady’s shop. I may be missing some important detail but whatever ig.
I LOVED Anthem… its 10x better with friends too. I never understood the hate… but I also did NOT play it at launch. I played it more than a year after it released. I was sad that it died… so much potential.
It was hated because, too many loading screens, crap missions, no-end game and none of the updates helped to bring players back.
the end game was just dead that's why they hated the game it's self had some solid core stuff to it but content and loot with servers just ruined it
It got a lot of unwarranted hate, even for the graphics because apparently they didn’t look like the reveal trailer graphics. This is a pretty rare case of the gamers themselves being the downfall of the game. The gamers left it behind way before the devs did. I’ve been trying to find a game to match the joy I found playing Anthem, so far all I can find is Warframe.
@@Emma_2Banks I have never tried Warframe... I will check it out.
@@cal7281 reminds me of Outriders
Honestly with this game this was the one time devs should have ignored soi boys and continued the game
There’s an alternate universe where Rogues’ channel is spilt between Division and Anthem content.
Oh man..... I wanted soooo badly to be super in love with this game. In some ways I kind of was. As you stated very accurately, the bones were amazing. I played day 1, and the game had a lot of issues at the start that took a while to fix, then there was lack of content(end game close to non exostant and story content was very short as well), and some major balance issues.
I personally really enjoyed my time playing it, mained an interceptor and it was really enjoyable to me. Darting around, super OP melee, just felt right to me. Had moment that it was super squish, but there were some mechanics to help mitigate that.
It was an amazing idea, and they did do really good at some aspects of the game, as other ls have said it is a shame that it didn't have the support it needed because I can only imagine how awesome it would be right now.
yea lack of content is a given for live service games at launch. that's how it works. world and content build over time. every live service game goes through this. but the hate it got was crazy overblown imo. should have just said the issues and then let the devs build and grow the universe. instead hate lasted years and so EA decided why spend the $$$$ if we are getting bad publicity anyway? i don't blame them. the community and the media needs to know when to shut up sometimes. it kills games and studios.
@@nicholaswilkerson501 Bullshit! Thats just excuses, and I'm so tired of hiring it. And, thats from someone who played Anthem for a year and still hopped back in sometimes for another year... Even got friends on and played the story with them. But, yall are fooling yourself if you think "IT WAS THE FANS FAULT"
Destiny had the same level of hate for a whole year. And, you know what saved the game... The 1st expansion that came out a year after release. Thats what Anthem didn't have. 2 years later and no major update or expansion showing that the game could be saved
Anthem 2.0 wasn't gonna be that either. People act like that was the game saving moment that EA robbed us of, but all it was gonna be was basic rework of game functions, QoL features, and bug fixes to get the game to a better functioning and scalable state. THEN, one fateful day, they would finally have added more actual content to the game.
Now, keep in mind that Destiny, it's biggest competitor, already had 4 content DLCs and 2 major expansions given the same amount of time. And Destiny was the biggest laughing stock of the gaming world, so that alone doesn't tank a game. Not being able to turn it around was the problem.
I loved and to some extent still love this game. So much potential and I had so much hope for it. I would love for someone to pick it up and give it a reboot or refresh. Man, if Anthem had the same or comparable level of support to say The Division 2, it would immediately become part of my game rotation. I still go back and play it from time to time because it's fun.
I haven't had the chance to play Anthem yet and I still feel absolutely heartbroken knowing that it will never reach its full potential. The trailers alone were enough to convince me that this could have been something so special. If only it had gotten a fair chance.
From what i remember their were some weakpoints for each bosses which drain more health when hit with bullet or any elemental attack.
how did you even log in? everytime i try title screen pops up servers are no longer available, talked to EA rep and they said anthem servers has been shutdown years ago and i am not able to play the game anymore
Me too
Me and a couple friends just recently picked this up and it’s pretty damn fun so far! Only a few hours in but we’re having a blast so far. The fluidity of the movement with the fun combat is really cool!
It definitely is! Glad y'all are having fun!
I just picked it up a few days ago and Im loving it. Its a shame theres not really many players to matchmake with. I keep getting the same few players, if any.
As someone who came back to this game like 7 months ago I’ve been loving it but it could’ve been so much more
I played a Goliath when it first launched. The synergies are amazing behind it. A few times you were trying to get the strategy for certain encounters the synergy between attacks would have helped out a lot.
Loved this game... could have been so good
If "potential" was a currency, Anthem would be filthy, stinking.
Nope. EA would've canned support after 2 years
A game too look into which has similar gameplay to anthem is “the first descent” played the beta recently and its actually really good
Struggling to find an experience like the one you had in Anthem when you run, jump off a high platform, freefall then fly, awesome. There is surely a cracking game here somewhere.
It was such a good starting point for a bigger game.
This game had infinite potential. EA ruined it.
Played it last week , as long as servers still active and game plays it's a cool game to hop on
The game was abandoned by the team back in the days but didn’t expect you would get into it I have thousandz of hours of fun on anthem
Not gonna lie but after watching this you're tempting me to download it from my library and play 😅😅. I was interceptor too but they were fragile from what I could remember 😂 great video @roguegold
I played a ton at launch, and I was an interceptor too, and I completely forgot what was my main class mechanic loop like...
Anthem when it came out was my fav game for 2 years, then it died.. And it broke my heart so bad. Idk why everyone left, I felt the game was perfect!
People left for a number of reasons. 1. Always online, 2. Unstable servers 3. Poorly written story (considering it was a "Bioware" game) 4. Too many repetitive quest/mission. 5. Unsatisfying loot drops. On their own, these issues are manageable since the actual gameplay was fun and addicting. But put them together and the game gets old. The worst thing they did was lock players out of main story missions until they completed an unnecessary amount of side missions to pad out the game, in a lazy attempt to make the campaign seem longer. But it only made it worse smh. Even I jumped ship cause the story wasn't interesting enough for me to grind just to finish the main story. I am a huge Mass Effect fan and can remember every characters name in my sleep. But Anthem? Couldn't tell you one person's name or backstory.
@@blackseed68 Nah the game was perfect
@@OxyAnonymous 😂
@@OxyAnonymousgame was one of the biggest fails since no man sky.
@@anthony420181 But No Man's Sky didn't fail. They stuck with it and it is now today more than what was originally promised. This game could have succeeded if EA stuck with it.
Im still heartbroken, loved this game so much and it has so much promise, the exo suits and gunplay was amazing, the flying was one of the best!
There are actually still 6 devs from what I heard in the dev team. And they have content ready that was sadly canceled. However there is a petition that’s getting like 1,000 signatures each week to get them to release that big update
No way they did nothing to this game, maybe they doing something in secret and prepare for a comeback.
God it makes me cry seeing this and not thinking of how great it could have been
MEE TOO!
Couldn't find the game on steam, could someone give me a link?
Also is it still multiplayer or id it completely unsupported?
This game was so amazing even the soundtrack would pull you in even more. They had everything the world, weapons, flying mechanics, cinematics, vivid visuals, amazing creatures. I hope one day someone can revive this to what they also showed at E3 which as we now know was a fake gameplay trailer. But that trailer alone is what everyone wanted that is what we had been waiting for. Sadly I don't think we will ever get any type of game that literally made every gamer say YESSSSS FINALLY. New games now you just get the emotion of eh yeah I'll play that I guess.
The combat, the mech suit movements, the world were amazing.
picked this up last yr for a few bucks when i got covid last year. spent 269hrs in it - there's nothing left to do/upgrade, but i pop by occasionally to do some flying which is still 1 of the best experiences imo.
where did you buy it from
Hopefully with more coverage of this game we one day gain some traction and it gets picked up again. Hard presses even today to find a game that feels as good as this did
I happened to join the game 4 years later and still play it to this day. It’s just sad that it ended up how it is, but it’s still fun to play.
As a person who logged many hours in Anthem even after thry stopped supporting it which was pretty early in the games life. The biggest problem was setver stability when it released. EA rushed Bioware to release this game before it was ready to launch.
Anthem had so much potential and still makes me mad that they walked away from it.
Gamers walked away from it long before the devs did. This one’s on us I’m afraid
@@Emma_2Banks No.....They gave us a mediocre game, with a solid foundation, weak loot, dumb enemies and a story that isn't that interesting, because they didn't really know what the heck the "Anthem" was and were trying to piece it together as the game was coming together... and people were supposed to keep playing that until they got it right? They owed the gaming community after that BS or at least their audience that paid. They had the opportunity to have their "Hello Games Moment" and redeem themselves with Anthem 2.0, but they bailed. Shame on them, and it's just a shame in general, because (as I said before...) the game had a solid foundation.
Played through Anthem twice and like you said, at the core, EVERYTHING about the game was PERFECT!!! The movement mechanics were incredible, the areas looked AMAZING!!!! It was really theirs to throw away as it really could have been an INCREDIBLE title for a LOOOONG TIME!!! Could have been along the lines of Destiny with being a great looter shooter for ages to come, it is such a heartbreak that they just threw it down the toilet.
I miss this game. I was obsessed while it was still supported. It got to the point where I couldn't move in the map and I had to stop.
I def remember being a broke college kid debating between anthem and Div 2. Went with div cause I was skeptical about anthem 🤣 now I’m a broke adult recently coming back to Div 🙃
I remember there being a stark divide in my friend group for which game people thought would last longer... guess I should've put money down on my Div 2 call 😄
Wow, now you play Anthem since your Cash cow 🐄 Division 2 is completely broken and you don't even bother to speak about it with those who follows you, what a joke 🥴
My environmental art teacher said he did a lot of concept art for Anthem, most were flowers, shrubs, and some trees. Most of which never made it through the final project. However, it is a common thing. You’ll draw up over 100 things only for 1 or none to be used, but asked to draw up another hundred variations of whatever they’re looking for.
Lmao. I absolutely screamed when you used the interceptor. It’s a speedy melee glass canon* build. You snipe and then run in and do clean up.
And yes the super is just a big melee. Your supposed to do hit and run crowd control
It helps when you have a team. Solo, the interceptor is like hard mode. You are the blade to the titans shield to the rangers steady damage and the storms crowd control.
I don't think he ever figured out the combo system. If you're interested, you apply an ailment to an enemy then detonate it to create a burst. for the interceptor it's the poison grenade followed by the melee.
Back in the day when the reveal trailer had just came out, me and my 4 friends preorder the game we even played the beta, we were so excited when it came out and played for 2 months straight, then we started to notice that the game was so repetitive and higher dificulty was only bigger health pools, also there was little to no progresion in the campaing, bugs started to show up, and eventually it died.
We were so mad BC we had our hopes up, and till this day we just feel bad for what this game could have Been
I feel that!
The flow state i would get into this game comboing, dashing and flying across the battlefield was unparalleled.
I had great fun with this game for like a year back when they had events and new stuff every week, playing it now that the service is offline is kind of a drag, not a perfect game but depending on your personal taste it has everything you hope in terms of gameplay at least. The flying mechanic is the best up to this day.
I actually know a guy who worked on this game. He was a BioWare veteran and he left the studio because of this game
i loved and miss this game. it had SO MUCH potential imo . just like wildstar MMO. as a person that was there on release i miss this game a lot.
I've played all of the major looter shooters, and Anthem, by far, has the most fun gunfights. I really hope someone makes a similar game soon.
the problem with anthem was also the balance issues, you can use for example the colosus armor and you wont die in the whole game + that thing is a tactical nuke, also it doesnt even matter if you are slow since like i said, you wont even get close to dying just because of the ammount of health that you have
I actually got this game for my birthday, the same year it came out, I never heard about it or seen it before i got it as a present, and to be honest, I quite enjoyed the game, but now that i look back i still think the game was decent to play, but there was a lack of content which was quite upsetting as i actually enjoyed it
I played and completed the main story of Anthem in 2023 fantastic game. I wanted to keep playing, as I really was enjoying it, but most post main campaign content required a party and it was difficult finding people to do it with.
The feel of movement and the fantasy of having an ironman suit are the best things about this game, the issue for me was the lack of content after about 40-50 hours, id smashed that bug boss about 200 times on the hardest difficulty, going back would be difficult but not impossible
So much good memories with this game. I still have the itch to jump into an exosuit and play.
oh god Anthem... I remember telling myself this is going to be a game that I'd play next to Division 2. What happened to Anthem is tragic.
btw, If I remember the ult of the Interceptor gives you faster and higher melee damage, plus you are immune to damage during the ult. I believe with some mods you can extend the duration of the ult and increase damage, which was good for Boss fights. It's been a while so I'm not 100% sure if that's still the case.
I hope in the future we can get it together for this game
Of all the games series to make a big comeback this is the one I can see coming back one day. definitely not any time soon.
This game can still be great after all these years. Someone needs o help them out content wise. The graphics and controls are on point. It could use better damage scaling, but all in all it just really needs more lore. And a couple more suits with different abilities.
Loved playing this game. Game play was great and had so much promise. Pre-ordered the legeon of dawn edition too
I played it back in the day and every few months i jump back on it. Its a really good game. Free play is fun and theres always one or two others on (i play grandmaster 1 difficulty) and the boss fights are awesome. Its always cool getting new legendary gear and comparing the perks that are attached are a really good way of doing things!
Me and my friends play this since we have gamepass, all of us enjoy it very much
Theres a lot of parallels between Anthem and The First "The Division" Game. BOth games were extremely ambitious. With technical aspects that were just ahead of its time and frankly could not be supported by the engines they were on as well as the computers of most players. As someone who has played tons of looter shooters such as Warframe, Anthem and others. I want to say that for me. The largest drawback of this game was the loading times going from the hub into the actual game. So many load screens. But the actual gameplay and the world was astonishing and beautiful. The various weapons were all actually different. I remember trying the flamethrower on the tank. Having an electric gun of some sort. It was very unique. As well as the completely different gameplay style of the various classes. It was phenomenal. I do think the game was over hated and if the communities just supported it a little more the game could have corrected a lot of its problems.
I miss this game. It is really amazing. I love the lore, the ost, graphics, the concept about the exos... 😢
I remember this game fondly. I bought the founder pack and everything. It was great to play and had a really neat universe, and was super beautiful. They just couldn't get it all to come together. I really wish it would make a comeback. (Been playing Warframe to fill the void in my life)
I was so hyped for this game and even tho the game didnt turn out to be a S+ game I unlocked everything. Now we will see what The First Descendant will bring us this year 😊
I played the game from launch and loved it. It was the end game where I started to feel like something was missing. I played on Xbox back then and after watching this is played is on PlayStation. I had a good time actually and to my surprise a lot of people were playing too. The launch bay was filled with players. So I’m gonna stick around for bit with this game again. Thanks man!
👊 Glad to help get you back in!
I actually enjoyed the game but like on the 4th mission my saved bug and literally couldn’t do anything besides like basic map missions so I never even got far
If I knew how to develop games I would put up thousands of my own money to see a concept like Anthem brought back. I loved combat mechanics and how badass you felt just dropping into a fight. An Anthem-like game on Unreal Engine 5 would be massive!!
Hi! Just thought I would mention you can play this at 60fps on Xbox - just need to turn on the option for the game it has that backwards compatibility performance option.
I wish I had known before playing! It's too bad they don't enable it by default... thank you!
I played from day one and i lived it till i stopped playing my only problem with it was seemed like i played 80% of campaign solo, only time i saw other players was in open world
I used to play that game back in 2019 I had so much hope for that game announce just a carcass of what it once was to me
I'm no expert on the business or technical side of things, so I'm just wondering.... is it possible for another development team to pick up the IP or purchase it? Or would they have to just create a whole new one that's quite similar but also different?
It is certainly possible for someone else to purchase the IP. The question is how much would EA charge for it, and do they have any motivation to even want to sell it
This deserved the Anthem "Next" update! Flying mechanics was so fun!
This game is great. I still get on to play it and filter the missions to “help out players” when i get on
I'm a 3rd type not brought up; Played Anthem, woe-d it's abandonment, and caught sight of this video and got curious what a "fresh perspective " in 2024 would be of it
after i played around with the game adn got to the point where i ran out of "enjoyable" content i was pulled to try out GR: Breakpoint; wildly different games but in overall gameplay mechanics Anthem hold so much novel and innovative potential that as wasted, it is saddening and maddening; and your perspective is appreciated and agreed with; also I went Interceptor first unlock myself
My favorite Javelin is the Storm
I really hope another team picks up the game and does it justice this time around. It was great when it first came out but it lacked support and updates.
This was going to be my favourite game of all time….. now I’ve been heartbroken ever since and gaming ain’t the same
After seeing your game , I have a question , is it worth buying it on PC because many say it will be sever suting down in April 2024?
You can play it on gamepass PC, no worth buying.
I really think about starting to play this on my series X thanks to this video
🫡
Games do monthly quests but they are usually so insane that you need to play like 6h/day to complete them.
This is one of those games, like titanfall two, or ghost recon wildlands, that I pick up and binge every once in a while, and remember how fun they are. I wish more people liked the game and it got further development. So much potential that's not going anywhere.
Got it got 1$ on PC last year and then 100% it. I'ven done quite a few coop expeditions, got some high tier legendary gear, etc. It's most wasted potential in history of wasted potentials. I've considered preordering it. Even world map gets snowy on Christmas. Make initial word 2x bigger, add more in story dlc, few patches and you have decend game. It looks and runs great.
I haven’t played this since it first came out I still got the game too might play it again if I can find a few ppl to play with
Devs have a recent obsession with making everyone Medium Range DPS. You see this in Helldivers 2, (you can equip a sniper but engagement range is still 30 Meters tops), in newer mmos like ffxiv, pretty much everywhere.
And I think this is what killed anthem, you can be Mid Range DPS gunner with the Ranger, Short-Mid Range CQC DPS with the interceptor, Caster Mid Range DPS with the Storm, and tanky Mid Range DPS with the Colossus.
No supports, no actual tank, it means enemies can't actually fairly deal substantial damage, and it means that the game can only ever appeal to the lowest common denominator.
Im not a division player so I came here because I got the game on release and sold it a month later. Now Im curious of if anything changed. Also very good editing and commentary. You deserve a bigger audience
Thank you so much, that's kind of you to say!
I wanted this to be my next Destiny sooo much. And I loved so much about it. There just wasn’t enough to explore, it was terribly bugged and the loot was terrible for months. I was one of the diehards that kept playing while others left, and was very much looking forward to 2.0. Such a shame.
