What good start are you referring to? The game was ripped to shreds from day 1 and onwards for the known and justified reasons. Seriously the only impressive thing I can think of regarding this game is how it still retails at full price...

shadowraiden, haven't bought it yet but i'm sure when I play it after it joins ea access program my experience will be much better.

Let's not even front, This game didn't offer much in the way of content apart from great graphics and flying controls. The beta/ preview they did was only positive because it offered something promising... But anyone who's been through Destiny can tell you that this game was going to fail. It's bugs were numerous, loading numerous, map size small, content offerings meager, and even though it had a 15 hour story what was on offer in terms of loot was nothing to write home about.

The game still lacked content. And replayability especially since they don't have PVP.

Anyone with past experience could tell you that Bioware was I'll prepared for the work of sustaining Anthem. And this game will never recover, the bulk of Edmonton is now working on DA4, and a small handful is working on bugs for anthem before they can even get to the content roadmap they put out. And they can't even offer a timeline of when they'll get to that content.

The game is barren on PS4 and XBO is barely alive.

The game is dead. They didn't have the staff or the financial support to keep this game alive. Not like Bungie who grew to 700 staff to create content with multiple small teams to address bugs both big and small for the sandbox and meta game.

Especially in this work culture where EA cancels games and deletes developer studios from existence. They should have kept Bioware Montreal Open, let them come on to Anthem, with a small team of key members from Edmonton to support the shelf life of this game with content and bug fixes, while the bulk of Edmonton works on DA4.

Now EA will bleed money while they bank on DA4 being profitable. And if that game tanks being that it's in transition phase of Console generations, you can bet EA will halt further development of Bioware operations, shelf Anthem and close down the studio.

Such a sad world when reasonable comments like these are torn to shreds by sensationalized & angry comments. Honestly, anyone who calls the game "trash" or "fuck-all from the start," either has little grasp of reality, or is just hitching their wagon to the karma hate-train.

It's really cool to hate Anthem right now. Even articles like this are really just click-bait. It was always planned for Darrah, Gamble, etc to move back to DA4 (key word: BACK) . They were moved from DA4 to Anthem to help get Anthem out the door. Not to mention the, what, four people they just hired to work on Anthem's loot and progression. It's just taking Bioware longer to fix problems than the community wants.
