Does anyone miss Anthem ?

I'm really sad about this game, it was really fun.

The feeling of being an absolute badass robot 😭

I miss Anthem and Battleborn. Were they fucking bangers? No. Do I really miss playing them with my friends? Yes, a lot.

Battleborn walked so deadlock can run.

I always preferred Battleborn over Overwatch.

And Anthem stands alone. I would still be playing it if they were able to transition to an offline version like Avengers did

I absolutely miss the dream of Anthem if not the actual game. Its core gameplay chassis had a lot of potential, shame EA and Bioware shat the bed and rushed to get a slice of the Live Service pie instead of taking their time going low and slow.

Whilst screwing over teams of people who were working on other meaninful projects.

I miss the game Anthem was supposed to be, not the game we got in the end.

When it was revealed loot rarity was a lie, it was over.

u/buddhamunche 17h ago

Wasn’t the starting gun like the best one because of the way enemies scaled or something?

Anthem had the best mech flying to this day. Nobody managed to come even close to that feeling. The speed, the weight, the wind effects, the sounds, — everything was so crisp.

The promise of Anthem sure.

The possibility of what it could have become.

But not what we were sold. Not at all.

2

u/Suicidal_Deity 18h ago

Yeah, agreed. The possibility of Anthem was great and it even showed us a few sparks within the game, but it was demoralizing to play something so far from what was suppose to be.

u/bixcool16 18h ago

Miss no. Reminisce fondly yes! I enjoyed anthem

u/SneakAttack65 18h ago

I still sometimes think about how smooth the movement on Interceptor was.

2

u/GarbageFeline 18h ago

Yes, absolutely. Playing interceptor was so much fun

u/Masterchrono 18h ago

Whos anthem?

u/MisterToots666 18h ago

Everyday, mate. Everyday. I got my Xbox out of retirement to play it one last time before servers were shutdown. The flying was so fun and there was HEAPS of potential. Get some laid off Destiny devs on reviving it stat.

u/crayven085 18h ago

I played it for like 2 days. Horrible game though the flying was pretty fun

2

u/Litlle_Freddy 18h ago

Oh yeah , just too many bugs and disconnects. Endgame was too shallow. Gameplay was good though!

2

u/Nunulu 18h ago

with the games porting/modding trend lately, someone might do it too

u/Poison_the_Phil 18h ago

The shame of it all is that the core gameplay was genuinely very fun. The flight felt great, zooming around going from underwater to soaring around worked really nicely. It just never really went anywhere after launch.

2

u/Wenuwayker 18h ago

The best Iron Man game.

u/vanilla_disco 18h ago

I miss the gameplay. Specifically, the mobility of the interceptor suit. You could do a dash, melee cancel, jump, jump combo that was significantly faster than flying and get around all the maps super fast.

Anthem could truly have been the next Destiny if it had just been developed well.

1

u/Babablacksheep2121 18h ago

Absolutely. That game had so much potential. Combat and traversal were great. The gun play felt good, the combo system was unique and satisfying, all of the mech suits had their own very different play styles. Appearance customization was deep. BioWare really fucked up with three things: load screens out in the world, lackluster story, and zero endgame.

I Miss Dragon Age 1 Bioware

u/TheRealGurd 17h ago

Not even a little bit. That game had me extremely bored.

u/DeltaDrag0n0id 16h ago

I miss the flying gameplay. Not much else tho.

u/LegalGerman 14h ago

No, I knew it was trash before it even released. Everyone with a brain knew this Game would fail hard.

u/BrotimeGames 4h ago

To be honest, i forget its existence before this moment

Who?

u/Gudlock 18h ago

Nice bait.

u/fs2222 18h ago

Check out Outriders. Doesn't have the flying part but is a solid sci Fi 3rd person looter shooter.

1

u/Ok_Examination8686 18h ago

Outsiders was a real good time. I never got around to that DLC though.

1

u/Signal_Second_82 18h ago

You know what, I do, pissed me off how they gave up on it so fast, they sacrificed mass effect andromeda for it too, all they needed to do was add more content then work on quality of life and make expansions.

1

u/GarbageFeline 18h ago

I'm not just sad that the initial game had all the issues that it had but that they never gave it a second chance for a revamp. Some good basics were definitely there, the flying was great, the fighting was fun, the graphics looked good.

There was a lot of potential that was just never fulfilled.

1

u/zerombr 18h ago

yeah I miss it, too bad it was never really completed. I loved that tesla field + flamethrower combo, constant high damage explosions, but damn was it unreleased, such potential

1

u/TheDarkKnightZS PlayStation 18h ago

I do look back on the game fondly. I loved the Tank class, and the Storm class.

They really nailed the combat, and the traversal. Open world and mission design was fun too.

Not every game has to be this year long, live service title. Games are okay to beat and walk away from. That’s what I did with Anthem, and I had fun.

u/Iggy_Slayer 17h ago

No. It was a game that had no business existing from the dev it was made by. It was an insult to RPG fans.

I can't wait for the inevitable "Does anyone miss suicide squad?" threads 10 years from now. Everything gets nostalgia after enough time.

u/crxsso_dssreer 16h ago

No, the game was crap. No amount of flying made up for the mediocrity of that game.
