Try again I have no problem with reviews like the one from arekkz. Arekkz is a shill. He has been hyping Anthem for months, making videos about Anthem, posting gameplay straight from Bioware devs streaming sessions into his youtube channel, getting his views and cashing in. He has a vested interest in Anthem being successful. There is nothing wrong in doing what he does, I would for sure do the same were I in his position. But the point is: Arekkz is not a reviewer, and he is not a source of unbiased opinion. Fuck off please if he is a shill shit like yong yea do not deserve to live

Is anyone else surprised that Anthem's getting a lot of grief for loading times? On my rig -- which isn't all that great -- it loads badly, sure, but so did DAI and ME:A. DAI didn't make you go through three loading screens just to change your equipment. In fact, neither did MEA thanks to the stations. Plus I don't recall loading screens for being on the edge of a map in those games👍 This also isn't 2012, why do some games have to have obnoxious loading times when others don't?

PC Gamer's 55/100 will probably tank it a little bit more once it gets put up on metacritic

As for my take on the reviews: I think it's still pre-mature as we're not to day 1, technical wise improvements can still be made, as for gameplay issues 😙, not enough time for that stuff to change. I wouldn't expect the score to really change much, I'll still stick to my assumption on it landing between 6s-7s for an average. It's a fun game, but it's not that great (and I'm legit curious on this "innovation" that some see when it does absolutely nothing new that no other game has done) to get 9s or 10s but it's not that bad to get 4 or below to me, it's yet another middle of the lack mediocre kind of game. The cool thing is IT'S FINE to like them cause I have and do to this day, I'm pretty sure anthem will be added to that list for me too as I did have fun in the demo+trial but 7 years on this and that's all they have? Quite disappointing really.

People tend to get upset about ridiculous double standards. I'm wondering how Arekkz is a shill when he's spent more time talking about what's wrong with the game than what's right. I suspect hes being called a shill because his videos aren't laced with screaming and/or buzzwords like "Anthem is Video Game HELL" or "One quest in Anthem broke my spirit" He also does not speak in an athoritative tone, and thus does not try to come off as trying to tell out how to think.

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? 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. 5-6 is not an average to above average game with the way the press treats the review scale for AAA releases.
Generally anything below a 7 is something with major issues and caveats.

It doesn't have to be serious to have no place in discussion. That poster has gone off the deep end, here's a selection of his recent opinions on people rating Anthem negatively: -shit like yong yea do not deserve to live -against the shit people are throwing at it for fuelling their shitty egos -deluge of coordinated hating that came from those cancerous click baiters -You are on fucking crack -a sea of fucking pathetic trash that haters are spamming

Now I'm REALLY worried about Bioware. Unlike Andromeda, I thought this was their A-team. Did their actual A-team leave for greener pastures? The writing is okay, which is BAD relative to past Bioware games. The dialogue can be good at times, but it misses the brilliance of Mass Effect's by miles. The delivery also leaves something to be desired. The story also is decent, but not stand-out. With so much of the narrative relegated to a single hub, I expected that hub to be dense and interesting. Nope! The gameplay mechanics are solid, but so were Andromeda's. That's not enough. Plus some of the missions structures are horrendously grindy and repetitive.
It looks visually impressive, but that's not even in my top 5 things I want out of a video game.
I'm going to go cry in a corner. Then pray for the future of Bioware.
