It's not and never will be.

jackdaddy2488d ago

This is the most relevant reply. This game reeks of greed. Avoid at all costs..

Profchaos2488d ago

Not sure what would be worse anthem or fallout 76 at this stage

Servbot412488d ago

Fallout 76 is at least trying to rectify itself. Anthem doubled down on being trash. Both are bad but one is clearly worse.

maelstromb2488d ago

No. They both deserve their rightful place in the burning trash can of our minds.

sagapo2488d ago (Edited 2488d ago )

Anthem has good gameplay and nice graphics, but got boring so quickly. Loot is awefull, uninspired,... makes the whole game fall apart. Dunno if it can be saved. It’s still on my harddrive collecting digital dust. I rather play NMS again.

sagapo2488d ago

Lol, yeah... I still have space on my HDD, but it will be the first game I’ll delete when I don’t.

FrostedFire2488d ago

Yes, staying one place whilst you hit bullet sponge enemies is very fun. Looter shooters aren't that well known for their gameplay. There are exceptions to this of course. Those being Division 2. The only lure of a looter shooter is to get better gear, more awesome looking gear. I found the gameplay in Anthem honestly average. Nothing special, nothing that'll carry the game for me like it did with the Division 2.

CorndogBurglar2488d ago

Destiny has fantastic gameplay. That was never anyone's complaint.

TheHan2488d ago (Edited 2488d ago )

@sagapo

Agreed, but it’s slowly gotten better. Not saying it’s my go to game, but it’s still on my hard drive too collecting digital dust. Till recently when I was playing with some friends

KyRo2488d ago

Tbf let's not forget destiny. Pretty much everyone loved the gameplay but there wasn't simply enough to do. 3 years later the game was content rich and a great game and the same is slowly happening to destiny 2. Never say never but this is EA. I wouldn't be surprised if they do abandon it at some point.

Could Anthem live on? Tech allowing local server hosting existed, former executive producer says

BioWare's multiplayer shooter Anthem was terminated this week because EA no longer wanted to maintain servers for people to play the game on, and without them, no one can play the game. But the former executive producer of Anthem has revealed that BioWare had technology working, close to the game's release, that would enable us to host our own servers to play the game on.

EA/Bioware should allow us to host our own servers to let this game live on.

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

Anthem Players Report Download Errors A Week Before Shutdown

BioWare and EA had previously said the game would be accessible to those who owned it until it shuts down on January 12.

anast146d ago

Never buy online games unless there is some kind of refund policy.

Only days remain before EA will switch off the servers to BioWare's ill-fated multiplayer game

Time flies (like a Javelin suit): there are only 10 days left to play BioWare's ill-fated multiplayer game Anthem before the servers are switched off, presumably forever.

In my opinion, Anthem was a good IP that was worthy of a no man's sky or cyberpunk 2077 treatment.

To this day, their sub reddit is active and I was able to get into a game quickly a few weeks ago when I booted it up.

It is a shame EA and Bioware didn't want to give the game the overhaul it needed to turn it into a competent looter shooter.

GamerRN149d ago

They were close to releasing the overhauled version and then EA cancelled it

TheGamersDojo147d ago

I wholeheartedly agree. If ANY game deserved to get the rework/relaunch it deserved it was this one. More than literally any other. Even over FFXIV, No Mans Sky etc.

SlothLordPootus150d ago

I just finished this up a couple days ago. Although it's a bit repetitive and the story is meh, the game feels great to play. Even if you can only hop on the game for a couple hours before it shuts down, I think it's worth it.

chicken_in_the_corn149d ago

Really enjoyed this. Shame to see it go.

Software_Lover149d ago

I didnt know servers were still up. I could have been playing!!!

victorMaje149d ago

2nd comment attempt (1st doesn’t appear & this may register as duplicate):

They can spend billions to buy or get bought but they can’t spend a fraction of that to fix or overhaul a game that could have been truly special, smh.
