Gamesradar really wanted to love Anthem. Over the years, BioWare has created such memorable journeys for its players – scaley, sexy, spacey and otherwise – that the thought of such a single-player narrative playing out across a multiplayer structure akin to games like Destiny was seriously exciting. But Anthem actually, spectacularly, manages to fail at both aspects of that ideal.
The multiplayer action RPG shipped a whopping 2 million copies in its first week alone.
A nice piece of proof-as if anymore was needed-that a game isn't automatically a success if it sells "millions of copies."
I don't know if it's still possible, but if it still works, PLAY IT. It's a fantastic RPG on it's own, incredible graphics and story, well worth the Bioware name, i don't know how bad it was on release, but when i played years later it was a great single player RPG well worth playing.
Its has been on sale multiple times for like $2-3… and even when not that aggressively dropped, it is usually in the under $10 category of any sale
That’s good, but also worth pointing out that after maybe 3 months on sale, this game was selling for about a tenner. Reminds me a bit of Days Gone, good sales overall but only after huge discounts so unlikely to make large profit
GF365: "Among all the well-received and beloved video games, there are some that are horrendous. Here are our picks for the worst big budget games released since 2010."
Anthem; I'd forgotten that game existed. I remember thinking the trailer was BS though; turns out I was right.
"Worst big budget games" and immediately lists Genshin Impact, a game that has $4 billion in revenue.
$3 billion and counting along with alot of users. I disagree with that being on the list. This list is just a person opinion without merit
I havent played Genshin Impact and Mafia 3 was alright. The rest though I kind of agree with.
I loved the 1st Kane and Lynch and I could not understand how the 2nd game was as bad as it was.
The PlayStation Summer sale expands with a load of new discounts.
Including indies I’ve bought like more than 20 games, good deals all around.
I’ve overindulged too! Gonna pump the brakes on this next round. Unless there’s a PS+ discount. Need a cheap sub for my kid so I’m not always changing primaries.
could you please suggest good indie games (which are on sale)? I love JRPGs or action RPGs but I can play almost any genre e.g. Transistor is £3.74 which I think is a steal :)
Check out earthlock. Its pretty good
Old school jrpg try cosmic star heroine I really like that one
Don't sleep on Darkest Dungeon, Child of Morta or Spiritfarer.
Although it won't be on sale, the best indie I have ever played is release in a week or so, it may be 20 quid but you have to play Hades.
Told my partner to stop me from browsing. We'll see how that goes, the first part of the sale already got me.
Anthem 85% off? Thought they went free to play. Has the game gotten any better?
Edit-Nvm, it's Europe anyway.
The second phase of sales is for all regions
It's just not yet showing up in the ps store
Appreciate the downvotes folks. I guess merely asking a question bothers the incredibly mature users here.
I might finally go for Black Desert. I've been playing ESO (without MTing my characters) for some throw away entertainment, but the combat is so "#$&&%.
I tried BDO a few months ago. It's a decent game but I got bored of it pretty quickly. Combat is very action-based, it's fun but very repetitive. There are a lot of menus and most of the in-game systems are a bit more complicated than they needed to be. Some game modes won't let you buy and sell certain items until you convert to a different mode etc. Basically, the game is kind of convoluted.
The mobs barely react in bdo. You can kill half of a mob of enemies before they'll even attack. You'll basically be grinding mobs until you can fight a boss that will even react well. Don't recommend it
@anast I'd recommend playing the single player version of es if you haven't exhausted your playthroughs
Highly recommend the "metro saga bundle" £25 all 3 games and all DLC plus free upgrade for ps5 exodus 😊
A fitting score for a garbage game.
Bioware will be shut down before E3 RIP
Every online service game since Division launched disapointed in hype, content and promises. Not surprising at all.
So long Bioware. The game you've always wanted to make turned out to be the nail in your coffin.
From the first video i've seen, it looked like it was going to be a failure.
