Forums - Gaming Discussion - Am i the only one not impressed by Anthem? Looks meh.

Looked pretty amazing. It is going to 2019 game, so a long way to go.

I think it LOOKS good in terms of aesthetics but I am concerned about the Gameplay. what is this massive obsession with players and developers lately for mass multiplayer online games?

I would much prefer a game in an Anthem like world with a heavy focus on storytelling and single player gameplay. 

as far as I'm concerned, playing something like this always basically requiring to logon with friends makes it vastly harder to get absorbed in the games because pals will bring up random shit and take you out of the experience. I don't know. I don't get this 'Destiny' esque obsession these days. I'm not feeling it. Disappointing to me considering Bioware does nothing like they used to anymore 



If these companies would just put some of that graphic innovation into a game concept that breaks new ground in fun gameplay design then perhaps the industry would be more vibrant. Gamers might want graphics improvements but they also want uniqueness and brand new experiences. Had the Switch not entered the the fray with its freedom, unique Zelda and Mario experiences, Arms, Splatoon, fire for old school resurgence, etc, I doubt the industry would have existed much longer.



Pretty sure DAI was the last great Bioware game. Ten years from now we'll look back and pine for a game in the vein of classics like KotOR, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age.



While technically impressive, the art style just looks so bland. It's the equivalent of last gen's generic brown military shooter, this gen's more about scifi and Anthem looks like a generic scifi game checking all the boxes. Destiny has inferior graphics but it has much better art style, it's distinct and recognizable. Anthem looks unmemorable, a by the numbers game. Just see how cliche the teaser trailer is, "the story doesnt end here, it's just the beginning".

Now Beyond Good and Evil 2, is the scifi game I hope becomes the next Destiny.

amazing graphics but that scripted multiplayer demo was meh, the division with a different paint. Not a bad thing but I'm not a fan... hopefully those who enjoy the genre are happy.



I ended up skipping both Destiny and Division but I wouldn't mind trying a sci fi mech blend of the two, especially with the scale and fidelity shown off at E3. If it arrives intact it could do enough extra to get me on board.



It could be great. But that depends onjust how much of that open world is really open.

I'm just happy its not a FPS.

On another note, these days I really don't believe anything I see at shows.... I am willing to bet my left nut on the fact that when that game is released it wouldn't be anything like what we saw in that trailer.

Just look at the division.



I need to see what sort of single player campaign exists, but right now it looks poor and doesn't appeal to me at all.



Im surprised people are amazed by Anthem, it does look meh. Hopefully im wrong.
