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

The graphics were pretty, but that was it. It was a destiny in 3rd person with a less original premise.

Really, Bioware should've stuck to their strengths. Despite people criticizing derpy faces, they can still make good RPG's. Stick to that. We don't need more shooters, we need RPG's.

Of course, it's possible that this was EA's doing aswell. Either way, i expect this game to flop, Bioware to be downsized and if the next Dragon age is as uninspired as the previous one, i see them closing down. Usual EA fare of running down studios.

I had no expectations and I thought it was fantastic. Not for the shooting. The different armor and abilities is what got me! Graphics are just gravy.



I usually hate it when people say "I never got the appeal of xxx" or "I always thought xxx was overrated" because if usually means the person is just shitting on the company now thaf its socially acceptable... but honestly swear to god Ive just never liked Bioware that much. Ive tried KOTR, ME1, ME3 and DAO. Kotr kind of aged badly. ME1 i played like 10 hours of. It was fun but the combat sucked, the characters were mostly flat and one dimensional, the color wheel was a dumb idea(one of the worst ideas ever) and some choices meant one thing when I thought they meant another. ME3 was kinda ok as a dumb action title but not much else. Dragon Age Origins was fun but I always try to finish it and never cam because theres too much fighting. Pacing is garbage.


Maybe if i finished these games id feel differently, but ive played all of them a very good amount. Tje company id just not that good imo.

Keep in mind i havent even played their infamous titles like DA2 or Andromeda. Im hoping to some day finish DAO and ME1-2

In short : No, me too

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

Wasn't it announced for 2018? I mean sure, it may be delayed, but no reason to think it will just yet.

You are absolutely right but these days my mind usually adds atleast 6 months to initial announced dates.

It looks fantastic graphically and the world looks quite well designed and alive. The combat looks a bit run-of-the-mill though, and the focus on multiplayer may hurt the potential of an interesting story.

So basically, I'm intrigued, but it will need an additional layer of something to really sell me.

I don't know about Anthem but the Star Wars MMO BioWare made was excellent in terms of a "single-player" experience.  I loved leveling up and all the player choice it had.  Easily the best MMO I've ever played in terms of making you feel connected to the universe.  The story-telling was really good.  It would be nice if Anthem reached that same level.

I was bored watching it (except for when they showed eyes. Bioware is just not making animated eyes or something is off because they are just creep, or am I the only one that thinks that?). It's pretty yea, but I'm bored of the ME type game and this felt like ME in a desert world. What I, and I'd imagine most people, wanted was KOTOR 3. It's becoming the new half life 3...

Desert world??? I don't think you are talking about Anthem...

The graphics look good but it just looks like a slightly better Mass Effect Andomeda with better faces and body animations.

The world seems lively and all but from what was shown you cant do anything with animal and they are just in the game to make it seem lively which doesnt really matter since they wont affect the gameplay. From the gameplay you can only interact with the monsters to fight them.

The gameplay from what was shown looks really close to what was in Andromeda. Andromeda has really fun gameplay but this game is a third party Destiny clone and imo Destinys gameplay is way better than the game.

Destiny 2 will probably be way better and i hope the game flops so we can get a new Dragon Age or Mass Effect.

The Game Anthem looked pretty bland.

I will still buy it on PC and crank up the graphics, even if I only spend time flying around the environments.



Nah, you're definitely not the only one, and it's pretty evident through the posts here that it's not an unheard of view. Personally, I'm not really excited for it either, because I'm not too keen on the online-gameplay aspect of it, and I guess I'm just apprehensive about it in general.

Has it been confirmed to be online-only yet? If it is, then I'm going to pass on this one.

They havent said anything yet about a singleplayer.

I am not excited for anything Bioware makes anymore. ME3 garbage. DA2 garbage. DAI Mediocre. ME:A garbage. Bioware is a shell.
