ANTHEM - failed Destiny clone from BioWare

[J1M]

There's a real disconnect between flying robot suits and the weapons casting frost nova.

This looks worse with every video. Even destiny managed to pull off the action much better than this shit.

That "ash titan" is literally copy-pasted giant from Inquisition lmfao

Good old BioWare...boss fight =bullet sponge bonanza.

mechanically distinct enemy

LoL this is so bad,even feel kind of bad for all the people getting duped by it.

+ Flying and animation are excellent, smooth and responsive, but suit really feels like it has weight to it
+ World/visuals are gorgeous and encourages clever use of it for traversal

+/- Shooting is...ok? Not the worst, but lack real 'punch' to it
+/- Too flashy, visual effects are over the top and distract instead ( similar to Inquisition)

- Art is all over the place..like modern sci fi+medieval+cyberpunk mashed together. No real sense of identity.
- Weak AI/bullet sponges
- MMO design/icons really ruin immersion here. It's somehow even worse than cartoonish Borderlands/Destiny
- Music is completely bland/unrecognizable
- Facial animations, dialogue and NPCs is Andromeda quality, sidequests are bare bones, AI companion ( voice) is annoying
- Hub is lifeless with static NPCs

 

[Space Nugget]

Can't wait for this game to...

Spoiler

...crash and burn like the rusty, unreliable and defective Javellin exosuit that BioWare is.

 

[a Goat]

Observing other people's failures is probably my last joy in life.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Looking forward to the next EA stock dive and mass layoffs.

Probably worth posting here as well:

[Big Wrangle]

Huh, the hub is probably the most interesting part of the game.

 

[Rahdulan]

Huh, the hub is probably the most interesting part of the game.

Which is very telling. Sure, you could make an argument Bioware hasn't really revealed much about it to keep spoilers under wraps, but I kinda doubt that. Makes no sense when you consider Anthem is not really aimed at what is perceived as Bioware's "traditional audience". Whether you subscribe to old CRPG fans or "how does Tali's sweat taste?" degeneracy.

 

[tritosine2k]

Low effort, order 1886 looks worlds better, hub vs. hub even Rage looks worlds better. It's so low effort they nicked borderlands knoxx dlc radio chatter 1:1 , no less. Ugh.

 

[Alpan]

On one hand, Anthem is a sensible choice by neo-Bioware, as the co-op multiplayer components of their recent popamole games have been consistently enjoyable. On the other, I'm not sure BioWare jumped into this fully aware that making a full-blown game in this vein (as opposed to a multiplayer component of an eminently single player experience) means competing with Destiny, The Division 2 etc. The scale is not the same, nor are the measures of success. Even years after the reveal it's obvious Anthem has nothing to differentiate it from the big games in this space. It'll release to positive reviews, mild success and kill Bioware off for good. Looking forward to it.

 

[Frusciante]

I hate that mention of ''alpha'' gameplay. Game is releasing in 4 weeks, yeah right that this is still in alpha.

Yeah, 4 weeks before release is too early for alpha for modern game. It will reach alpha stage after day 1 20 gb patch. Maybe.

 

[Lone Wolf]

Sweet Jesus, that dialogue/voice acting... Horrific.

 

[Space Satan]

Wow, they are ready to release new Andromeda at last

 

[User was nabbed fit]

I bought one of NVIDIA's latest RTX cards, because fuck you I can use my shekels for whatever I want.

Now I get to choose between a free copy of Genderfield 5 or Anthem.

Which shit sandwich would you go for, Codex?

 

[Kitchen Utensil]

Anthem and sell the code asap.

Geneforge 5 .

Spoiler

If it was me,i wouldn't have taken either one. Both of them are total shit! Just leave them as a change to the guy that sold/deliver you the card.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Battlefield is already having a fire sale, Anthem should be full-price at least for 1 week or so after launch.

 

[User was nabbed fit]

I'd love to but apparently NVIDIA's redemption site detects whether you have an RTX card or not. It won't redeem it to your Origin account (which you need to link) unless you have one.

Say you will take Grimoire. I doubt they will give it to you but at least they will see you have good taste.
