It would have to be way more solo-friendly for one thing And more role-play friendly for another. I wonder just how difficult/resource-intensive it would be to add a few AI/NPC freelancers that people who prefer SP could equip, customize, and take out on missions in lieu of other players. I would prefer they'd have voice tracks (so long as they don't chat over mission radio comm traffic), but even if they didn't I'd probably be more interested in the game if they were available. I'd say it's impossible. They need to invest a lot of resources into it and the gains would be too minimal. And creating a competent companion AI to move and fight with the player in this game might be asking for way too much as well. You may notice there are no ground enemies/allies that use their jetpacks to fly while fighting or at all. It's all running on foot and shooting. Perhaps it can work if the companions spawn when the player lands or engages an enemy, but that might lead to a whole set of other issues.

Hi everyone what's up ? Is Anthem already dead or not ? Twitch empty, twitter empty, new content... is there any ?
I can see places where you can buy it for... 17£, which is not a good sign.

why that guy looks like a Monster Factory creation You're talking about Young Hipster Ron Perlman ? Maybe he was designed using MEA's character creator I think he widened his mouth using a razor. Joker style.
I'm not being a dick though, it looks as if he actually did that.
Btw. I wonder what the "community person" does since Bioware siezed all communication on Anthem.

Not much related to Anthem but a few problems of Anthem can be understood with it. Gaming skepticism in general. Very interesting game and gaming community history since the 90s, the internet phenomenon, WoW and other MMOs, worsening of the gaming community, rise of DLCs and microtransactions, till the awfulness of gaming industry, reviews and scores in 2019.

You can take random Javelins from other players in the database and make them your AI buddy. Yeah, I see why you'd like that, but that makes matchmaking obsolete as a feature entirely. Which could be helpful. According to XBONE "most played" statistics, Anthem has a playerbase of less than 2500 people on the console.

I don't deny that it would consume some resources, but they've done well enough with NPC followers in other games. I understand the flight mechanics are a whole 'nother thing, but MEA had followers that used jetpacks. Even if they were grounded, I'd still rather have them than not. It could also solve some issues with missions not being full. Where matchmaking doesn't have enough people to put in a mission, they could spawn in some AI lancers. Of course, the way they do scaling and whatnot is a whole 'nother issue...

The companion system in Dragon's Dogma (I think they're called minions) was nice, but their banter was annoying I liked the pawn banter. They have several different personality voice tracks players could set. I admit they got repetitive after awhile, but I'd still rather have the chatter than not - though I could certainly see a use for a toggle to turn it off for players who would prefer to do that.

If they deliver this... they MIGHT have a shot.

- "mastery"of weapons/gear (whatever that may be) I forgot about that. Wasn't it "pilot" mastery in the roadmap? Basically a perk system, I'd expect. Is there one for weapons, as well? It reminds me of the Musou series, where the more you used a weapon, your proficiency with it grew, allowing for more combos and greater damage. Maybe the Anthem equivalent would be something similar, with accuracy/recoil/damage improvements?

Soooo...Anthem, the new EA title that was launched just 3 months ago with a 10 year live service plan and tons of upcoming content...get's kicked out of EA Play's streams in favor of...wait for it...BFV and Sims 4 And maybe it's just me, but I don't see Anthem in EA's schedule for E3 as well.
Call me a sceptic, but it seems like nobody at EA cares or has confidence in the game. Or could it be that the game has absolutely nothing new/good to show, except a PTS? Which brings me to another question - there are barely any players to play with in the live game, so how will the PTS work? Bots? At this point the live servers can be called a PTS. After all Anthem is not out of Beta yet.

Every Sims 4 expansion pack (not item packs ect) is $50aud. Figure that out conversion wise for yourself. Theres 6 expansion packs. =$300aud not including base game. Then there are a multitude of smaller packs from $14.99 to $29.99. It's a goldmine.

According to wikipedia the last game pack (not a major expansion but a medium sized one i think) was released on pc end of feb 2019. No idea if there's more being made or not but they must have made an absolute crapton out of what they have made already.
