A looting game has loot that matters. Here the guns barely have an impact. A looter game is built to get in and out. Here you can barely get in with the load times. The loot table in Diablo is much bigger. Diablo has multiple characters with a large number of skills to build on. Diablo has chapters, acts, with a fully fleshed out story with end of act cutscenes and multiple bosses each with a unique setting and mechanic. Everything in diablo encourages activity. Here im discouraged to open the forge because it loads, scared to go back to tarsis because of long mission end load followed by fort tarsis load. But you have to end mission coz you cant leave mid way even if your house is falling apart or you wont get loot and xp. In diabo as soon as you pick up anything its saved to you. The list is endless. Anthem wants to be diablo and destiny so bad that it doesn’t know what it is.

Even after all that Anthem is still fun but its not anything great. Once people play through the story and want to rush and loot, they’ll realise that the loads, the mission types and the scarce enemy types, the useless guns and the no text chat communication are all just hampering their experience.

@pandehz, I guess you not buying Anthem then...

@Digitally Affected

I preordered. I am a huge bioware fan and own all of their games but I now have no doubt that Bioware died years ago when the founders quit the company. I Played Alpha, demo and also early access with my buddy. I always play the game before i say anything. I will play it for as long as I can take it. I’m just tempering people’s expectations and sharing my opinion.

They should have had the Day 1 patch ready for the early access official release.

@yom You do know that after they fix bugs and get everything together into a patch, it has to pass certification with multiple companies (MS, Sony, etc). Certification takes a bit (why are the companies going to rush when it's not out yet or game breaking?) and if there's any problem it has to get resent for certification again. And if you want to complain about early access games having bugs, there are tons of them on the PC and xbox in their early access programs, and you paid to play it ahead of the release and day 1 patch.

Only for certain issues, other bugs could arise because of the console os which will not show on PC.

What’s wrong with that? I don’t see a better test for servers and massively online game then actually letting 1000s of gamers play it and from the look of it as far BioWare is listen to feedback so it means that they do care about Anthem being successful and profitable investment.

I do get that it’s early days and it’s hard to trust agein in Bioware and EA and yes it’s good to be sceptical and we shouldn’t put up with being lied to and ripped off of our money buy any one.
But let’s be fair too. As far most of the guys playing Anthem on PCs are quite happy with the game!
