Anthem review - QuarterToThree

This is Anthem. It’s loading screens on loading screens on loading screens. It’s an inventory menu that you can’t access unless you’re home. It’s brain-dead enemies that sometimes forget they’re fighting you. It’s multiplayer that doesn’t care about synergy or tactics. It’s loot that bores you and doesn’t seem to matter until the end of the campaign. It’s non-player characters vomiting their life stories at you. It’s BioWare ignoring the lessons learned in the rest of gaming and throwing their hands up in surrender. It’s a sad trombone.

I really don't understand the whole loading screen thing? It is no worse than any game. Although I do have an SSD drive. But who doesn't.

Razzer1914d ago

Are you just looking for a reason to brag about your SSD drive?

maybelovehate1914d ago

Everyone has one. Why would I brag. I seriously don't know a single person who doesn't.

Razzer1914d ago (Edited 1914d ago )

lol.....no, "everyone" does not have SSD. I'm sure you know that despite being confused about how many people you personally know in the group of "everyone".

averagejoe261914d ago

It's just part of the hate circle jerk for this game.

I can name other games that have more & longer loading screens that no one complains about.

maybelovehate1914d ago

Exactly. The load times are actually less than a lot of other games I play.

Anthem Sold A Solid 5 Million Copies In Its Lifetime

The multiplayer action RPG shipped a whopping 2 million copies in its first week alone.

JEECE157d ago

A nice piece of proof-as if anymore was needed-that a game isn't automatically a success if it sells "millions of copies."

RiseNShine157d ago

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.

ChasterMies157d ago

This a good example of why you should be hesitant to buy a game at launch.

--Onilink--157d ago

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

BlackCountryBob157d ago

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

What a shitty f***** list! Most of the games on it were great fun. Bullshit list.

chantii_mmohaven500d ago

yep this is truly a b*tthurt list :/

MadLad499d ago

I think the only one I agreed on was Anthem, and even that isn't horrendous.

Knushwood Butt500d ago

Anthem; I'd forgotten that game existed. I remember thinking the trailer was BS though; turns out I was right.

Cueil499d ago

the game wasn't bad though

RavenWolfx500d ago

"Worst big budget games" and immediately lists Genshin Impact, a game that has $4 billion in revenue.

blackblades500d ago

$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

monkey602500d ago

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.

Including indies I’ve bought like more than 20 games, good deals all around.

P_Bomb1025d ago

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.

solideagle1025d ago (Edited 1025d ago )

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 :)

shinoff21831025d ago

Check out earthlock. Its pretty good

Old school jrpg try cosmic star heroine I really like that one

Aloymetal1025d ago

Disco elysium, man eater, inside, limbo
Dead cells, observer, to name a few

LoveSpuds1024d ago

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.

GhostofHorizon1025d ago

Told my partner to stop me from browsing. We'll see how that goes, the first part of the sale already got me.

ElvisHuxley1025d ago (Edited 1025d ago )

Anthem 85% off? Thought they went free to play. Has the game gotten any better?
Edit-Nvm, it's Europe anyway.

Hellcat20201025d ago

The second phase of sales is for all regions
It's just not yet showing up in the ps store

Servbot411025d ago

They abandoned Anthem. Typical EA.

CobraKai1024d ago

I can’t believe they’re still trying to sell it

BioShockGX1024d ago

Got Anthem for $5 last year. Not a bad game for that price lol

ElvisHuxley1023d ago

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 "#$&&%.

Servbot411025d ago

BDO sucks. Only good for the character creator.

anast1025d ago

Is the combat worth it?

Phoenixryu1025d ago

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.

phoenixwing1025d ago

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

anast1023d ago

Thanks. Is there an alternative to ESO?

phoenixwing1023d ago

@anast I'd recommend playing the single player version of es if you haven't exhausted your playthroughs

EvertonFC1025d ago

Highly recommend the "metro saga bundle" £25 all 3 games and all DLC plus free upgrade for ps5 exodus 😊
