It's three months minus ten days since Anthem's launch and the price is now at $37.77 from Amazon.
With loot and progression issues, the disappearance of the Road Map, bug fixes that take one step forward and two steps back and an ever dwindling player base, is this game worth buying at this price point?. Remember, this game is design as a co-op and finding "friends" is becoming problematical.
Thoughts anyone?

Not for me. I’ve heard from reliable sources that the story is 12 hours long including the 3 hour tomb mission.

Yeah... my view is... until the loot and progression is fixed, it's not worth it.
I bought MEA for about $38 bucks....that was worth it.... the animation crap was fixed by then... This game may be put on the shelf like MEA... so I'll wait.

I don't even care about the loot and progression, so less incentive for me

I would say no. There's not really a lot of content in the game, and no real incentive to even play all of what little content there is. Now that they've abandoned the road map for the foreseeable future I just can't see recommending anyone buy the game.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. There are a lot better things that you buy for that money. Like: These nice sneakers for yourself ( or your wife/gf) This solid ink tank or this cool Beyblade Striker ( tbh, don't know what the hell that is) a green cable High quality authentic chinese watch a bag that looks like a cat Or if you want to simply get drunk, these bottles ( only bottles, they're empty, so you have to fill it with your own alcohol)

I don't think your source is very reliable if he thinks there's a three hour tomb mission!
It took me at least three weeks to get to the end of all the story content (and they are still adding more in terms of NPC chats and dialogues). Maybe if you just fast track the critical path and ignore all the codex entries and radio plays and NPC sub-plots and all the chatting with NPC's in general then you might manage in that sort of time but why would you do that if you care about story?
I easily got my money's worth with the story alone (and I bought the Legionnarie verison). So, for me, $37.77 is easily worth it, even now. People are complaining about the end game (a sentiment I don't really share either since I'm still enjoying it) but even as a one-off I enjoyed the game enough before the end-game (whcih I played entirely solo) to justify the initial price, nevermind a lower price.
ymmv.

Depends how long you took to do the tomb mission I guess. Maybe you got 25 chests really fast.
I'm glad you feel you got your moneys worth. Doing the same content over and over doesn't interest me in the slightest, but good for people who enjoy that sort of thing.

There are a lot of things I can do over and over again without losing my appreciation of it
But, I actually felt I got my money's worth from the story content and levelling up experience before I got to any point where I felt I was repeating myself.
As to the length of the tomb 'mission'. I assume you're referring to the Quests for gaining access to the tombs. All that qualifying stuff is not part of the mission it is just gained through playing and enjoying the game as you go, whether in other missions or in freeplay, but it's not a mission in and of itself. There is no actual three hour mission!

I'd probably say wait another 4-6 months to see if there's any indication of a turn around. The game will likely still suffer from a multitude of issues, but if core design problems are being addressed, than at least it means they're trying to fix it. Unfortunately, a lot of these games have always taken at least a year to right themselves to where they should have been. I fully expect the same for Anthem, though - admittedly - I think it has a significantly harder climb than other games in the same genre.
In short, save your money.

As it is right now, maybe worth it if it's 10 bucks or less. Or wait for BW to finally figure out the cash shop and the game will become Free to play.

Like I can on my second pilot. Like I did yesterday. I'm still way past your ten hours and not close to the finishing line. The only way to do it is by skipping story content. Still, the story so far is shorter then MEA and probably even ME1 but in ME1s case I'm not sure since we got the Sunken cells stronghold addition.

I understand that. It's a roadblock so people don't rush through the story and finish it in 10 hours. I was stuck with a bugged 'Legendary Freelancer' quest, that essentially meant it made sense to re-run the critical path from start to finish (on a new pilot) to pop the challenge. I did that within a day (8 hours maybe) I ran it on 'easy', skipped all side content, and already had the requirements (which are shared) to instantly complete the tombs segment. The first time, it took me around 60 hours to complete the main story at my leisure, enjoying the side content and leveling as I went.
