Anthem is on sale at EU PSN at almost 50% off. Be honest Era, do you think it's worth the investment?

Best thing I can say about anthem that it broke my addiction to destiny. It has everything I wanted in a GaaS game (fun game play, fantastic setting, all match making pve stuff) but just didn't stick the loot loop.
Still only game in the last 6 ish years that got me to stop playing destiny.

Not a question of price, but of time. Your time could be better spent elsewhere. Not to mention the latest patch broke a lot of stuff (Including one of the bosses not giving loot). Why waste money and time on something that will get you frustrated?
Just my personal take on it after playing it for a few weeks at launch: no way.
One of the few games I've played where I was actively angry at the title for wasting hours of my life that could be spent doing anything else. Usually if I pick up a mediocre game I can at least say, "Well it had fun moments and overall I'm glad I could experience it, even for just a bit." Not this one. Still disappointed I was dumb enough to try it.

No honestly, looking back on my time with the game feels like a void of disappointment. Hopefully one day it'll reach the point where it's worth a shot.
Might as well get it, one day it will be worth it
OR
You can wait the year and it will be free with EA Access

I really enjoyed the game and I'd advise against it. The combat/movement's the most fun I've had with a shlooter but the loot system's terrible, the contents lacking, and all signs indicate the people in charge have no idea what to prioritise with what to fix or how to fix it despite the community's obvious feedback. Fuck, it's hard to say if it will ever see a significant update at this rate. It's a total car crash.
I really liked the movement and the graphics are awesome. The combat is fun enough.
If these things appeal to you I think the game could be worth it at 15-20 dollars.

Gaming hindrances aren't something that should be managed, though, like stress :) It baffles me that they never addressed (and continue to ignore) this issue, which is a known and repeated problem with the game by many. I wonder if the engine is at fault or something.
The game is great in every other way, and the F2P implementation has been consistently fair and balanced. Shame about the FoV.
It's not worth it right now. There is no solid timeline for content and even though the gameplay is actually pretty stellar, it is a very forgettable game. I find myself just booting up Division 2 instead.
Buying a game isn't an investment to begin with.
But no, buying Anthem at 50% off still isn't worth the money.

The investment for Anthem is roughly 20-30 hours. If you pay $30 for $30 hours of gameplay, then that is your value proposition. Beyond 30 hours you will likely find issue with the game. If you play the game in short bursts, 30 hours can last you a little while. If you intend to play the game in a weekend, then you will be disappointed. Otherwise, the core gameplay is not that bad. Will there ever be additional content? Probably. Will there be a substantial overhaul of core systems - hard to say. But there are definitely worse games out there than Anthem to spend money on. But there are also better games to spend money on as well.
I bought it for ~€20 on PC and it was worth it just to look at the shiny pretty and the first few story missions.
I might play some more, definitely won't grind it like I did with Destiny 1.
Personally, I found playing games like Division, Destiny 2 enjoyable enough up to endgame not to bother with that timesink stuff.

Got it for twenty and traded it back in for $19 within the week. Not awful, just doesn't offer much of anything that truely interesting imo.
I actually like the core gameplay of loot shooters and think Anthem looks really fun, but I just can't handle the premium currency bullshit that I'm sure this game also has.
I got Destiny day 1 and was just shocked that I bought a game for full price and can't access stuff in the game. Maybe I was naive, don't care, will never support that shit.

Of course it's worth it, just look at all the *FREEEEEE CONTENT* they're providing.
& that's just Act 1!

Game is dying and the future is looking bleak for it. Bioware has shown complete incompetence to fix/add stuff to the game. Honestly, I doubt the game will even be supported in 6 months. So no.
No.
It feels like this game is on the way to "abandonment," especially after hearing it didn't meet sale expectations. Didn't they just patch out a feature that they patched IN to the game after release? The extra stronghold chests?
With everyone moving on while this game is still behind the 8 ball, I just feel like I have almost no faith this game will received the care it needs to become an amazing game.

It's not worth it as it currently stands. If they improve it later then it will still be cheaper to get later than it is now. The game isn't going to stay full price for long.
