Damn, Gamespot with a 6/10... Let's see if the day one patch actually makes things better, or if the problems are more rooted than a few big patches can clean up. There's also Opencritic: opencritic.com/game/7084/anthemA lot of people will now say: "What do reviewers know? It's just their opinion, not mine. Don't let others tell you what you should like. AND THEY GAVE THIS OR THAT GAME A 9/10!!1!" I do believe there are criteria that seasoned reviewers can objectively review and put a grade on. Games have a budget, an engine that works well or not, a number of people working on it. Story pacing is also not just a matter of taste, for example. |

Most of the reviews won't be out until tomorrow but I wonder how EA/BioWare will take another 'mixed' reviewed game. They didn't take ME:A's review well and released a statement.
Of course all the reviews tomorrow could be 90 giving a high average, we'll just have to wait and see.

Pity about the score.
EA once again shot themselves in the foot with the demos and Early Access (PC players who pre-order played the full game) a week before the "official" launch. Gamers + reviewers go to play a game that required some serious polishing. Ergo, I'm not surprised that the game will get mixed reviews. That list of fixes clearly showed the game was technically rough.
Also not surprised that EA launched Apex Legends to mitigate Anthem's foreseen revenue shortfall.
Let's hope the "official" launch will be smoother.... but it may be too late.

Yep... 1st impressions are powerful. Bio should have concentrated on the game mechanics rather than on the graphics and so, here we are..... again.

a game that needed another 2-3 months of work. Another 6-8 weeks would certainly have helped, though the game with Day One patch installed ran beautifully, bug-free for me. And the underlying game is a ton of fun. The 'point of time' review model also doesn't adequately reflect a GAAS that evolves over time. |

A few extra months could have been used to fix stability issues and add basic features like creating waypoints for your squad or an actually useful statistics display in the Forge.
But some of Anthem's flaws are so deeply rooted in its core design and content that they'd require major overhauls to fix.

I dunno how much you played, but the game - if you want story and optimisation done - needed at least another year of work. Instead, they might've rebranded as GaaS, and released the basic anthem lite version, and maybe in a year we'll have a full game?
Just supposition though, but I do wonder how much of this was agreed between Bioware and EA.

I have no doubt, even if Anthem does poorly, EA will let BioWare finish Dragon Age but I worry about future games beyond that. I want more Mass Effect 😔

I'm fucking speechless from these reviews. We have a game with a pretty good story, great gameplay, a couple of innovation in a pretty recent genre and they gave it a 6 or less? Because the loading time were long in the first 5 day of the pre release? Because there are some bugs at launch in an Online game? Are they serious? Now they discover that the endgame content is exactly what they announced months ago and it suddenly became a death or live matter? I must go to fucking reddit for reading some bloody common sense from someone that's baffled from the discrepancy between the tale spin and the actual truth? www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheGame/comments/asocmk/i_was_enjoying_this_game_til_i_checked_out_this/?utm_source=reddit-android |

They are lucky that Meta doesn't count reviews without scores, cause with them included it will be record low score for BioWare.

Because the loading time were long in the first 5 day of the pre release? Because there are some bugs at launch in an Online game? Are they serious? 5-6 is an average to above average game. I'd take issue if people were giving it 1-2. As for "pretty good story, great gameplay, a couple of innovation," that's certainly not what I'm getting from people who've scored this game in the 5-7 range. To my mind, loading screens and other bugs (getting shot by invisible enemies, rubber banding, etc.) are valid concerns, particularly the former as the sheer amount of loading screens detrimentally affects any possibility of seamless gameplay in Anthem.

It needs a lot more than that. The technical issues are a roadblock to people experiencing the more severe problems with this game. The weapons feel like garbage. The inscription system repeats most every mistake playerbases have revolted over since at least vanilla Diablo 3. These are things that were supposed to be hashed out over years of development and they are not going to be fixed in a matter of weeks or maybe even months. |
