"Boring lighting"...yep I like it.

I have a feeling Anthem will face similar backlush to Andromeda but this time for the lack of a meaningful SP campaign. I hope I'm wrong but the writing is on the wall.

too close to launch for drastic downgrades

Reviews aren't helpful. Just look at reviews for games you already played and don't like. A demo is the perfect way to tell. Also, I learned to never pre order a game and always wait a little.

This will sound like a plug, but since it is EA, check out the first few hours with EA Access (on Xbox, at least). Or GameFly.

Last year, hopes high. This year, hopes low. And based off this map it's very likely going to be what I expected. A game akin to The Division, Ghost Recon or practically anything else. It's a blast to play, fun & engaging for the first month but after that boring with nothing to do. One of these days developers/publishers are going to realize they need real substance to make their games last. I certainly hope I'm wrong but from what we've seen this year, I strongly doubt I am.

As others have said. Reviews are pointless. The best way to judge a game is know what you enjoy and know what you're getting into. And know what's worth it or not to you.

Zero chance on pre-order. I will wait and see after release. EA credibility is pretty low in my book. Better to see what the game is about, how it plays, and monetization practices in use before getting swindled again.

I agree. Yet another jet pack shooter/action game. Yeah that’s what I want bioware making. It would be nice if they went back to making rpgs

This.

I'd be fine just playing it as a localhost and dumb as rocks AI bots. Just give me the choice.
