60 hours in, not yet at level 30 and my excitement about Anthem is wearing thin. I finished the story ofcourse and have left some contracts but I Already know what to expect. I own masterwok items and there is the grind but with all the Bioware-y stuff gone my interest is lower now. Story was alright and totally not to up to Bioware standards. The ending was rushed and there are also some questionable missions, it feels as if the game was not finished? Also some really greta characters but as the interactions was limited to fort tarsis only they felt "less" than they should bge. I Really liked Faye and Owen and many others though. If only we could get them in the field... Anyway I do not think Anthem is a bad game as it easily offers 60+ hours of content and terrific Combat and enviroments but this is not up to bioware Standards at all. Andromeda was the better game by far for me. Never once I felt in awe in Anthem. Anthem's Bioware is the one that I do not want. P.S played with a friends, payed attention to all dialogue, story, missions, explored etc Edit: 70 hours in and still i am having a BLAST everytime i play. Freeplay is really fun and well done imo Still in my review (i am a reviewer in a greek gaming site busted.gr/anthem-review/) i gave it a 6.5. Health Bug, cut content and anemic mission design. |

I believe there is more content intended to be released over the coming months/year, and I would assume that means story missions as well, given the teaser at the end.
I agree there were moments outside fort Tarsis where I missed having a dialogue wheel. I guess being multiplayer, we can't really have branching story outside areas like fort Tarsis. But there were certainly moments I wished we could.

Funny thing is they promoted this as their largest game, something will play for thousands of hours.
But unless you go include mind/(point)less grind, this has the least content next to other Bioware games by far.

I also like the game. Have over 90 hours logged on it through Origin (though I did tab out and forget it was running for half a day).
I would still call it a bad game; everything it does is rehashed, and rehashed poorly. If we had no other games to compare, it would be a brilliant masterpiece, but we have quite a lot of similar games. I've tested AAA games in alpha phase that were more stable and complete than Anthem a month after release.

The game is far from done.
Even considering Anthem's launch state, DA2 wins out only due to its awesome characters, in my view.

I agree that Anthem wasn't bad despite that it was the weakest BioWare game (or maybe weakest story because gameplay is superb). I think that things will get only better from now on due to updates ( story missions/ strongholds / items / events etc). Old Republic also had weak start but BioWare kept supporting the game anyway if I'm correct. We will see  |

60+ hours might feel like a decent amount of time for a game, but not for a looter shooter.
Also, if you have a lower interest in a looter shooter game when you have just finally got into the endgame, then there is a problem.
(edit: a problem with the game, btw)

Fact is everytime I login I am having a BLAST. it's just when I leave I am not hooked and eager to return, knowing there is nothing for you out there and just killinh the $%# of enemies is the deal kliller. By coincidence I finished da2 for the 5th time in late January. I loved it again. Still Combat Wise Anthem is one the best I ve ever played if you do not mind the mindless enemies

If only Anthem wasn’t released in pre-alpha, early acces state. When you’re looking forward to climbing into that hulking Colossus, mowing entire waves of enemies with Endless Siege and blowing up whoever survived its monstrous hail of (depleted uranium most likely) bullets with brutal AOE explosions when you get home from work and you run into some game breaking bug inside of 15 minutes EVERY FUCKING SINGLE DAY, it really doesn’t help.
I don’t mind that there’s not enough endgame content, I play every season in Diablo 3, but Anthem has so many technical/design/content issues that I have to wonder why is it even released?

The thing is I don't think anyone said it was a "bad game" perse. Most reviews I've seen, stated it was mediocre. It seems the honeymoon period is finally coming to an end, though I still hope you got your money's worth. Paying 60 bucks for a buggy game is unethical in my book.

And thats the tragic part, Anthem was NOT supposed to be their weakest game.
I mean they pulled all their top talent to work on Anthem, their A team. Mass Effect essentially died for this game.
Just because the game "isnt bad" means that Bioware gets a pass. Bioware games used to compete for GOTY categories such as story, characters and whatnot. What will Anthem compete for and what does that tell you about the current state of Bioware?

Maybe they risked and the end producy is not what they thought it could be. Maybe EA is at fault. Maybe all og the above.

If their vision is the addition of a lot of story content, which would in the end result in longer stories than others, they may be correct. But we don't know that yet.
