The gameplay itself is very fun. Flying in a Javelin feels awesome. The problem is the story and how it feel so disconnected with the gameplay. Plus, with microtransaction and long loading time, I can see how people might wanna avoid this game.

I hate on Anthem a lot and even I have to admit the gameplay is fun BUT it's certainly not a recommendation today. Give it six months and pick it up at half price and hopefully by then EA/Bioware pull their finger out and turn it into the game Anthem deserves to be. Fun gameplay doesn't give the game a free pass to be so poor in other areas, I don't even recognise Bioware anymore, certainly a far cry from the company that blew me away back with the original Baldur's Gate all those years ago.

The worst part is, go check their interviews and what they've been saying all of this month.. they'd even get a farmer gagging with all the BS they've been spewing. Their most emotionally charged story to date? Yeah.. no.

Nice try undercover EA agent

While some of the criticism is warranted, the game being review bombed so mercilessly is an act of rebellion on gamers part.

I would pick it up... If it was free. I don't think this game is worth $60.

Wow, Forbes is recommending a bad product?

I wish the game was cross-platform, I'm playing it on pc and got a few buddies spread out between ps4 and Xbox. I'm having a lot of fun with it personally as I stated on another thread.

I'll get it when it's free..........maybe. The amount of things Bioware and EA has done to this game blows my mind. They are so focused on the GasS and pretty much destroyed this game simply due to greed and laziness. This is a BIOWARE game, and the story is just meh? Seriously? Add that with the repetitive mission designs and the constant loading. No thanks. I'm not supporting EA or Bioware. This is following the whole Destiny thing again. Maybe Anthem 2 will be better, but that won't be for another 3 years or so. What a shame.

You got paid?

Its dope AF

Was at GS today. The guy at the register bought anthem. The GS employe said this game got like 6.0 or 5.5 reviews but the people who are playing it actually enjoy it. #MFTRUTH

I agree with this article. It has some issues but it is fun and they spent a lot of money on it so I’m confident it will see regular updates, content and fixes. The day 0 patch was already night and day different from the beta demo.

My friend was broadcasting it and even said to me you made the right decision not to get anthem.

I continued to watch him and I said I'm annoyed and I'm not even playing the game, it's so annoying that in going through these loading screens with you. I said it also feels like I'm doing something very repetative like shooting or collecting that there is nothing else.

There is also the fact the game crashes. Npc's he talks to alot of the times do not give quests which makes it a pointless conversation half the time. Even though it's an open world map it's often found to be frustrating moving from one zone to another because of the fact there seemed to be one route leading through to the next zone. Other players who you were in a mission with could make you spawn with them if you were behind them. You can't flow right high in the air as there is a barrier that start making your screen go funny.

To me there was way to much that caused me to fall out with just watching it after 10 minutes, couldn't bare it no more.

No thankyou I'll be having the division 2 instead.

I played the alpha and beta and I wouldn't recommend it. Felt bland.

My friend gave me a copy. I'm 4 hrs into the game & imo it's pretty fun so far.

The amount of comments from people who defend anthem is astonishing. makes me want to avoid the game more, I think the loading times are worse than we think,defenders spends more time defending the game online than actually playing.

If only this game had a good one player campaign... and multiplayer as an added option... but Bioware is not Bungie (well Bungie is not Bungie anymore).
