After subbing to ea access and giving the game another go, I'd be hard pressed to recommend even at that price. Population is shite and even the tiny bump from being added to access is probably gone.

I doubt there will any major expansions or content additions for this game going forward. Avoid.

Waiting for the day when the price is lower than the cost of 'The Anthem' by Good Charlotte on iTunes, Amazon, etc.

No. Just no. I wouldn't even play this game for free. I wouldnt even play this game if I was payed to play it.

For $10 it's really fun as a singleplayer game with some nice shooting. Seriously, we all know it's a failure at this point, but the hatred towards the game in this place is unrealistic.

F2P Anthem coming in 2020?

Gotta follow Destiny 2...

Well the thing is Destiny 2 is actually a good game and they have newer expansions to supplement it. Anthem...not so much. They have a long way to go before they should even be considering F2P because there simply isn't enough content in the game to keep people playing.

The time sink is more of an ask than the money sink. Based on what Ive heard I have zero interest in putting in the hours it would
take to get anything meaningful out of the experience, even if it were free.

I got this crap for free with the video card. I still feel being ripped off to this day.

I enjoyed it for the 20$ I got it for. Had a lot of fun. It's just an arcade shooter basically.

Give it another week for it to be 4.99, then it'll be part of a humble bundle pay what you want game bundle.

I mean the community isn't there to play this unless you can find a group to play it with and not have to rely on matchmaking.

That said, all these stupid fucking "that's still too much" hot takes are dumb as shit. For 10 bucks there is more than enough content to have some fun with, the mechanics of the game are fun, it was content that was a problem.

I remember when drive by shit posting was a ban.

Or maybe people just place a higher worth on their time than you do yours? Anthem will never be cheap enough to waste my time playing. Bad games are bad at any price because price matters less than my time.

Putting value on your time is not a "shit post" and perfectly valid.

Wouldn't grab it if it was a PSN Plus free game. The support is gone. It went from a GaaS to a FarT.

I don't care for multiplayer, I don't care for gaas, I don't care about mtx. What is so bad about this game? Can someone answer without being like every other lame answer of "lol no" and "you'd have to pay me to play it"? I enjoy open world games, and hunting games like monster hunter. People are acting like this is the worst game ever, which Isnt surprising considering where we are

Fuck out of here with this sly underhanded insult. I value my time as much as the next person, maybe I just have more time to play games than you do? Maybe I found the game fun, like many people did and didn't think of it as a waste of time?

But no you are right, you probably are just operating at a higher level bro. Jesus Christ this forum lately.

Again I will repeat, the game is fun to play, there simply wasn't enough of it for 60 dollars.

you're probably better off buying Mass Effect Andromeda

And I grabbed that out of a gamestop bargain bin for 4.99 about a year ago. The biggest thing about me not wanting to buy heavily discounted games is less about the cost...its about the hard drive space. Games are getting bigger, they take a couple of hours to download and I have to remove other games in order to fit larger ones so It better be something thats worth all the hassle.

The story is bad and the game world feels very bland. The gameplay is mediocre. You could spend $10 on this or play destiny for free which at least has decent shooting.

I don't really care about the story either, it's all about the gameplay for me. If *that* is bad though, then I guess it's a pass. Destiny seems all right, but the idea of flying around the maps in Anthem always seemed cool to me. But Destiny is indeed free, vs $10. It's nt much, I may still pick it up just to see what makes everyone think it's so terrible. Thanks for the clarification though, much appreciated.

Anthem is kind of amazing. Bioware nailed a handful of things that barely anyone gets right and then fucked up everything that should basically be impossible to get wrong at this point.

The real problem is that anthem is just mediocre and forgettable. Not even entertaining to rag on the game because it's just a nothing of an experience.

Oh man!

Remember when so many people were talking about how this game might "kill" Destiny?

Well they where going of having tried the combat which was a ton of fun, and with Biowares history of great stories (and Destiny 2 having an utterly shite one) I can see why there was hope. In the end the loot system was a joke, the skill system was flawed, the campaign to short and open ended, not to mention the million upon million of bugs and utterly baffling design decisions, and Anthem sadly ended up being a very bad game. Destiny 2 apart from Forsaken is simply utterly mediocre, which is still vastly better than its competitors sadly.
