I know right... wtf were they thinking when making this game

Bro I love to eat food while smoking weed on my KZfaq channel, to cure people’s boredom :)

I kind of had the feeling that the game was going to continue after I'd finished the main quests. This empty wall in the base suddenly got the focus and I thought future missions (DLC?) would appear there but that never happened. After those main missions the game was pretty much done and all I could do was fly and run around randomly collecting resources, do fight after fight and just keep on grinding for better weapons. Only those better weapons also never appeared and I was done with Anthem after that.

It shouldn't hit anyone hard when those plans fail. Same shit was said for Fallout, Destiny, Halo Infinite, etc...

@@theincrediblefella7984 It shouldn't, but it kinda does when you play the game, see the world and think about what could have been. Fallout has been a disaster since it was taken over, because Bethesda must be one of the laziest companies in gaming. They just release extremely buggy games, sit back to let the dedicated fans patch all the bugs and then gather those patches and release it as a Bethesda "update" of the game. Destiny, I think enough has been said about that, especially when they totally screwed over the remaining fans by releasing Destiny 2 instead of keeping their word and adding to the original. Halo Infinite sounded more like PR drizzle to hype up the sales than a serious announcement to me.

:'(

That is wholesome tho

o7

I... that's pretty awesome.

Respect

They definitely should’ve take a leaf from Bungie’s book.

LMAO

That's unfortunate for them, cuz Bungie is basically the only game studio I have faith in and eagerly support. What they're bringing to Destiny and what they've been doing is exciting and, in my opinion, they've just been getting better and better at crafting compelling and connected stories. Something Anthem sorely needed

@@Matt-mv5tt Riot?

@@Matt-mv5tt I think the reason why Destiny started out interesting is because the story foundations were already set. Big ball god gives superpowers and is sleeping but anything good has an enemy and due to a recent conflict humanity is piled up in the last safe city. All they had to do was add lore to the already existing race factions and build the story to inevitably have the player fighting this ancient enemy. Gameplay wise, it was not overwhelming, it was simple yet satisfying. Later on afding more challenging content that contain tightly timed puzzles known as raids. Raids are literally what saved destiny with the release of VoG

Yeah, I love this game still.

Spot on, every class was fun to play aswell. Put way to many hours in this game for the content it had. Was actually searching just now hoping to find info on a mod group that picked up this game.

@@Mayhski112 I desperately await the day this game gets its due as well. It has so much potential you think some other game company could buy it and cash in!

Right? It’s actually insane they made an Ironman simulator and then completely failed to put that in a world that is interesting and with a story that is engaging..... surely those two things would be the easy part....

@@corvus2512 Bruh what? The world of Anthem is one of the most interesting I've seen in a long time. They don't do a fantastic job of explaining much but after some digging you'll find just how awesome it is

Agreed

Totally agree. The flight and combat felt great, and the environments vertically was fun to check out. But the small things piled up until they were big things and attempted fixes made things worse. Then instead of showing that they were a company with integrity that cared about their output like Hello Games, they Totally lied about it having a future, a road map, a 2.0. Still pop in occasionally and end up imagining what might have been. Use an engine that complements your game rather than hinders it . I can't imagine how much time was spent on this to make something that could have been awesome with just a little more time ironing out the problems before launch.

Yeah fun fact; the devs were gonna cut the flying out, but an EA exec actually told them not to. An EA exec is the reason the only good part of the game still remains LMFAOO

I liked the customization too. The customization was actually really good with the various materials and colors

@@ARTEMISXIX that's fucking crazy

I didn’t believe it was gonna be good whatsoever since it’s fake official gameplay I already knew gaming companies fake them more than not

Same

For me it was Metal Gear Solid Vn:(

I already knew it suck on first trailer. Knowing how bad the company in the first place, the gameplay doesn't look fun. Etc etc

Cyberpunk 2077 did it for me.

what the issue with the game, I have played it at 4k ultra with a 4090, it was my best experience, there is no other game like that, thanks to EA pass, it was awesome on my OLED 48" gsync.

@@kolysion164 he wasn't complaining about its visual, but rather the contents and how half assed they were for such a price.

@@hklrzki4618 oh this game is very fun, without hud

@@kolysion164 that's how you enjoy the fun. I didn't enjoy it because how bad the rpg and loot system was.

@@hklrzki4618 I played it for graphism...dude it's a graphism shooter game......

I thought the same thing! Maybe the devs knew how it'd end up

How could you not hear of “Anthem?” It was literally the biggest videogame disaster of 2019. Every gaming website has multiple Anthem articles a month regarding worker abuse, Frostbite engine issues, etc.

Oh boy do I wish I never heard of it either.

They knew what was happening

@@ewjiml I’m not a legit gamer. I casually play. But I’m on KZfaq a lot so it’s more likely that this is where I learn about certain things.

YES! WHAT AN AWESOME IDEA!

This is actually a good idea. I think every person who’s played this have is in agreement it has potential to be one of the best games out there. If another team of developers fixed it up they could earn so much money from it.

I think Guerrilla, Housemarque or even respawn entertainment would do a great job. I'm sure there's so many more great developers that can make remake this game. It has the potential to be one of the best looter shooters. Maybe one day who knows

Hi-Rez studios used to make games with jetpacks, so I might consider them (or former Hi-Rez devs) - but they abandoned their jetpack MMO shooter and Tribes: Ascend for sound business reasons when Smite made oodles of money as a free-to-play MOBA At least Tribes: Ascend is playable again!

Yes! Companies really need to sell their IPs if they're not gonna do anything with it.

Upper management was the problem. They couldnt even play test the game. A lot of veteran bioware developers also left already.

@@antarticstorm7991 "They couldnt even play test the game." They obviously play test it. It was mentioned in Article, but correct line was "SOMETIMES we could even connect to servers". Sometimes. I mean, they also released Demo before game launch, so... "Upper management was the problem." Dont forget deadlines set by EA plz. Also, once game launched, different team entirely took over future support.

@@gospodindpakoh4200 The issue was that they didn't playtest it, everything was pre-rendered and then the PR team basically through down the video at the developers and practically said, "You've got a little over a year to do what is demonstrated in this video. Good luck," Fuck that article, more shit throwing in other directions and no one wanted to take personal responsibility. It was a bad idea on conception, fuck off anyone who thought otherwise.

@@FatalFist I wasnt talking Fake Trailer. And at that point what play testing even is there? Its basically demo-version\Alpha-footage (that last one is mention in trailer as well). There is no play testing at this point at all.

Yeah, considering daddy EA has those Madden Billions, they could have easily finished off Anthem Next and released it and gave it another year (at least) of support and THAT would have at least been something decent in the end. What is left now is a 1.0 mess that will lose live support in a year or two more probably and then there's an unfinished build of Anthem Next we will probably never see.

There's 4 that spawn around the map, every 30 minutes. Like any game, you should learn the spawnzones. Of which there are 12 zones they spawn in.

@@Descyphal - The game is dead. Move on.

@@opo3628 the comment is old. Move on.

Me with Battlefield 2042

Ac unity here, but i played the shit out that one though

Gta 5 was the first game i bought with my own money! Was on £32 a week at the time but felt so good buying it with my own money. Of course my mum had to go in and get it for me as I was 16.

Cod bo2: made me have a false sense of every game i buy will be 1000x worth the purchase lmao

I got it for a 1 dollar 😂

As I understand it, Frostbite made everything hard, so the effort couldn't keep pace with expectation.

@@sofajockeyUK That and the workplace culture and crunch forced onto the devs by EA made a really unfinished product. They considered it a total loss and moved all the dev resources to the next game.

@@sofajockeyUK BS. Frostbite is known to be a pain in the arse, but if people were patient enough and wasn't trash talkin that much, probably today Anthem would be a totally different game from what it was at launch. We already have examples about this, just look at Battlefield 2042: the worst launch in videogame history, but today is really funny to play and well made, they added maps, weapons, etc. I see many people talkin about Warframe, but these newbies just forgot or ignore the fact that Warframe had a decade of support from the devs, lol. At launch this game was literally a whole different game compared to what you can exparience today in Warframe, but 10+ years of support improved it so much. Now just imagine 10 years of support from devs for Anthem.

@@julianboyd8719 Exactly and this was due to the fact that so many people were trash talkin on Anthem, when there are so many other games which even had less potential than Anthem, had a bad launch but nobody talked so much trash about them. It's just so sad we can't experience what Anthem could've been after years of support and improvments from devs.

​@@lucajkd3674 Honestly I'm still pissed off at the gaming community as a whole for bashing so hard on the game when we have had worse releases from other games. If it got the 10 years of support then I'd say it could've killed Destiny in some ways. Either way I'm gonna sit back and play it whilst I can.

they needed 2 more years of development,multiple planets,alien invasions space fights etc...

For me it had the same issue as flying in the Avengers game, you feel slow as hell constantly. Super advanced mech suit flies at running speed.

@@HelplessTeno it wasn’t that slow

@@HelplessTeno disagree, x me was Perfect .

@@HelplessTeno but you're always flying in close canyons. If you want fast just Play Ace combat.

@@HelplessTeno tell me you didn't play interceptor without telling me

They failed it.

Sarah Schachner's soundtrack is unbelievably good also

@@FatalFist they wrote a large world with cool concepts, it’s up to devs to add gameplay elements and obscure mechanics. The devs failed and it’s most likely because of the investors, execs and the CEO

@@user-wy1et9dk9w Nah, that's stupid propaganda from people trying to blame the devs for being delivered a pile of shit and told to make something "decent" out of it. At the end of the day, it was still shit. You can read the back and forth about it but it was pretty plain to see. Devs got dealt a shitty hand and had no choice but to work with what they were provided with.

@@FatalFist I think he’s just saying the concept of the game was super cool. I do too, and I actually really enjoyed the flight in this game. I feel like this game could’ve been super massive if it wasn’t so fucked but maybe it’s an alternate universe somewhere

The first descendent, beta is still up try it out. Reminds me of anthem. I miss anthems flying though.

There are still chests in the open world. They even show up on your compass. The events you've misinformed everyone about there not being enough of, spawn every 10 to 15 seconds in flight, and also have guaranteed loot drops from marked enemies(the toughest enemy in the group). You should try playing the game again.

There’s hella enemies and chests this game is way better now

Nothing wrong wit simple fun. Don’t even blame sum games just have certain features that’s just fun to play even if the game isn’t that good

best game for me for having fun randomly running around and destroy shit colossus best jev ever

I think people just feel embarrassed admitting to play this game because it became kind of a meme. I went into this game without knowing anything about it and it became one of my favorites. It actually got me into Destiny and The Division because I loved the looter genre.

@@Dennis_Reynolds_Golden_God the Division and anthem where cool Games and For me i Had Bug fun in IT and i think IT was Worth To buy

I play it daily...almost level 30

exactly, I had a few guys i ran with in the game so it extended the life of the game way past what I would normally have played it, maybe had 50+ hrs in it to beef my tank build but became way too repetitive. But aside from that the Javelin control and flight felt like something other games are missing out on.

$3 where did you get it from?

@@skyecloud968 it was on sale on ps store. It was months ago

I got it for free when I bought a PS4, I traded it in and they gave me like 50 cents for it

I tried the open demo before the game launched and confirmed to myself that it was not a game for me. It was clearly trying to be Destiny with flying mechanics, and I was not here for it. I find the Destiny style of mission structure and storytelling bland, vague, and extremely uninteresting, and I could see it all over Anthem. And my experience wasn't helped by the sound completely cutting out about 10 minutes into my game session and staying that way for the rest of it.

Payed $60 and enjoyed it. These videos just do the same things they did at launch bash the game in a video. Granted the game has issues and was a hot mess but it was enjoyable for some.

Maybe a fan project or spiritual successor will pop up at some point… hell maybe I’ll do it myself

Same

Same

Just bought it, its great

I still play this games really good

They would've need to recode and redesign the entire game from the ground up. There is so much wrong. Especially the amount of loading times is disgusting. This is actually mostly a design issue. Or the snail speed walking inside town. All that crap is really jarring.

Anthem was jus an epic failure, alot of people have been scarred by bioware, a sequel announced will not raise people's attention

@@Arc69 although I do agree with you to an extent, I would have to respectfully disagree with you in some areas. I believe, since anthem two has not yet been announced, or may not even be planned to be announced, I think BioWare is in a state right now where they can prove themselves. If dragon age 4, and the new Mass Effect are done well and garner the respect of their fan base and, bring back some of their original players. I think an anthem two announcement could definitely get players excited for it. But that’s only if their next installments prove to be opposite of what their business model has been recently. Now with that said, if these next two big budget releases are not up to par, then I would agree nobody would be excited for anthem two, or probably any other title revealed by BioWare in that matter.

@@daktaklakpak5059 "Especially the amount of loading times is disgusting." They fixed it in first month of the game. And that common trend of "They would've need to recode and redesign the entire game from the ground up. " is what killed this game in a first place. Cause people where so upset, that they essentially demanded 2.0... And Bioware tryed it. Results are known.

@@daktaklakpak5059 they need to port the game to Unreal Engine or that Decima engine that is more suited for open world game

@Kabir_Considers.o.nicegrambro make like odysseus and get lost.

arc raiders.

and guess what, arc raiders is free too.

Warframe is where I migrated to and I can't believe how good it is, and it's extremely F2P friendly (I have spent 0$ and I got everything)

@@Jay-xq1dc LMAO you got everything without spending a single dollar? Did you play it 24/7 for like 10 years straight?🤣 Warframe is not a good substitute to Anthem, Warframe and Anthem are totally different games.

its a fucking tragedy, nothing felt better.

Frostbite engine looks great but using it for everything like EA forces their developers to is just dumb. No reason Madden, Anthem, and Battlefield should all be on the same engine

@@MultiKool13 It wouldn't be a problem if they'd actually give Frostbite a proper refresh like a lot of their devs have been begging for

Yeah, also people need to stop relying on the excuse that it was "Frostbite's fault". This has been a problem with BioWare before and after Frostbite. Their quality drop is a BioWare issue, not a Frostbite problem.

Anthem is why I hardly trust the marketing team.

@@dpray96 Lol Hey Alexia!

@@r.e.z9428 Heyo!

@@billywashere6965 Nobody is solely to blame for this shit fest. EA can be blamed, BioWare can, whoever the hell else was part of it can. They all fucked up, some maybe more than others but who really knows what went on behind the scenes.

This. They really could just add more variety to this game and it could do so much better.

THANK YOU! I LOVE ANTHEM

I think the saying “All froth but no beans” comes to mind when talking about Anthem, which is kinda sad considering the potential it had.

That's it. Idk why it's being given up on. It needs bug fixes and regular content updates and it's golden. The idea of the game and core mechanics are top tier.

@@AngrySecs after doing more research, apparently the issue is the engine it's made on. The frostbite engine isn't made for open world games, it's EAs engine that they forced the devs to make. The world has to be instanced since the engine can't handle an open world. The engine was originally made for first person action shooters, not open world 3rd person mmos. That was ultimately the downfall. What the devs wanted to do they had to scrap and try and work around this shitty engine EA made. That's why no one else can pick up the game, because no matter what the devs did there were way too many issue and restrictions to really put the full ambition of the game into play. A new dev team would have to completely rebuild the game on a different engine.

@@kangerer8886 would take a very long time and I don't know if any company would take that risk, the hype would be fine and people wouldn't have faith, as most people didnt go out of their way to learn about the downfall

Respawn was gonna remake it and pull a no mans sky but EA said nope and they had to move on and work on more titanfall and mass effect

Give it content and more freedom and you’ve got an absolute banger of a game. Easy S tier in my books

The lack of players is really sad, they should just leave the game for free and profit with cosmetics and a battle pass system, it would keep the game alive and maybe with the increase of players it could give enough motivation for them to keep working on it.

@@vonkrieg9642 I think Anthem is free on xbox game pass now! This video actually made me want to try out Anthem so if it still is on gamepass I'll gladly try it out

I meeeeaaan. In fairness, if you were playing a beta, crashes and bugs are expected, it's a beta, did you report the crash or just give up? Lol

@@thetrashcanman7537 No, but that's the idea of an open beta, especially when you opt in to play it. Are you new to gaming?

When?

you can do some of that in freeplay though. time trials included

I tried on gamepass and had a blast, at least for the start

If it’s free, play it for a few hours. It’s an amazing game until you run out of fun things to do

Pretty repetitive but still pretty fun, especially the flight
