No it can't and the game is trash.

I'm looking forward to the future content as I really am enjoying the game. I understand that many other people are having problems with the game but they have been very minimal for me.

Maybe they'll fix it all for Anthem 2...

This game is fundamentally flawed, I dont think EA is even gonna attempt to save it.

In all respects, we are in a generation of gaming that allows for a company to tweak and improve their formula through patches. I remember when the likes of Destiny, Final Fantasy 11&14, World of Warcraft, and the like were held in great scrutiny, the same as Anthem.

What we have now is an impatiant community of gamers that have allowed their sense of entitlement to cloud their need of understanding. Nothing is perfect, much like all those speaking toxicity over the creations they have no ability to create themselves. It's pure delusion, to expect a game to encompass all the desired elements to satisfy the demands of each individual.

While Anthem does have its list of issues, this is not, in any way a reason to damn it to failure. Are any of us without our faults? Do we all not have the ability to improve upon those things that hinder us? How is it, that we demand perfection while not exhibiting the example to reference?

People, this is all for entertainment, nothing more. To be so damning towards any effort to deliver that, is placing unnecessary damage to a community we claim to love so much. Be patient, with those working to right their missteps or find a new hobby.

No.

I don’t think so but they really need to avoid making the same mistakes with Dragon Age.

Not Under EA

It just looks like an empty experience to me. Perhaps they haven't done a good enough message about what and why it is you do what you do in Anthem, but from the outside, it's just a hub-world, where you fly out into and do a few missions, and return, with loot, and that's basically it. I don't really see any kind of meaningful story or progress there, that appeals to me as a gamer.

And true, there might be more games like that, which appeal to certain gamers, but from a studio like Bioware, known for story-telling interesting action-RPGs, you kinda expect more, while right now, Anthem operates in a genre (shooter) where there are simply more interesting looking alternatives available which seem more fun to play.

Before release I thought Anthem was going to be a game that could only get bigger but now I genuinely believe the faults are in the foundations. Without mentioning the bugs. The tethering to other players is dreadful. They go through the effort of creating a walled off main hub where they try to drive home the fact that there is a story even if contradictory. Then have you leashed to complete strangers online who can trigger your story elements or skip some entirely for you.

The game is a disaster and will remain so

Should it be? It's not acceptable for games to release in such a pathetic state - we've seen it happen numerous times and people are fed up. Furthermore, when you see just how much was advertised to entice players, only for those aspects to not show up in the game - I ask again, should it be?

Even if people find enjoyment in this game, think of how much enjoyment they would've had with a proper release. A game that was actually ready and polished, one with content.

Anthem has no story to tell. It exists to make money through microtransactions.

Is it? I have played 5 hours of my ea access trial time and I'm in no hurry to go back...

Easily but Bioware needs to get on top of things i really enjoy the iron man feeling i get when playing but they need to decide what is happening and fast because it seems every day theres a new bug/exploit/nerf/buff to the loot and its geting confusing i havent brought it yet but at this point im just gonna hold off and buy it in a couple months when they have their shit straight.

Im not saying game dev is easy and im not putting the blame entirly on bioware because they obviously want to make legendary items a special drop not so frequent that its like getting a blue but not so hard to get that grinding for what you want takes months.

division 2 will kill anthem on off

I hope it can be saved as I just got it from Gamefly for $35

Anthem doesn’t need saving, it needs a chance. It’s a game as a service. They don’t launch it with 12 months of content. The game grows and changes organically. Just like destiny and others. What launches is the base of the game to get you started. I’m surprised this is still a mystical concept to some people who must be dense. I’m not saying anthem isn’t without its flaws, but it is fun, the gameplay and infrastructure will get tweaked over time and dialed in and there will be lots of content - that’s the service part.

Stuff like this tho is why studios are so scared of making new IP.

Yeah, but it should not be.

Depends on how much patience ea has tbh. Wouldn't hold my breath.

Did Destiny 1 & 2, the Division, Rainbow Six Siege, For Honor, No Man's Sky, Sea Of Theives recover? Yes. Even Fallout 76 has people starting to trickle back in with updates and dlc after it's abysmal launch.

Not saying I like Anthem or any of those other games but they all came back to achieve some level of success after poor launches and imo Anthem is way ahead of what NMS, SoT, and 76 launched with and isn't too far behind the level of content Destiny 1 or Division 1 launched with. If EA lets Bioware stick with it and actually listen to the community I wouldn't be surprised to Anthem start to bounce back.

Dumb article is dumb. If the failures of Destiny 1/2, Final Fantasy XIV (especially this one), and No Man's Sky can be saved... yes. Absolutely Anthem can be turned around.

Absolutely not. This game will die a quick death and be in the bargain bin very soon.

I think it can. They'll have to redo everything like FFXIV though.

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).
