So... I Tried ANTHEM In 2024

Trying something a bit different with this one! Hope you all enjoy!

Anthem deserved better .

In my opinion there has never been another game that lets you just fly around in an open world immediately engage in combat and leave. The power fantasy and combat mechanics were sooo good

I miss this game so much. The 'base' ranger class actually had such a wonderful gameplay loop centered around grenade and gun combo's/multipliers that felt better than most other games I've ever played. They absolutely nailed the personality of each class and you never felt bad being grouped with any variation of suits because they all brought great stuff to the table. Heartbreaking what happened to the game honestly.

Its honestly SHOCKING that you even CAN play this game in 2024. Id have expected EA to shut the servers down years ago.

This game had SOOOOOO much promise and had a really great engine. Hopefully, SOMEONE picks it up and does it justice.

It sucks because EA had Anthem 2.0 in the works, they showed how the whole game was going to change , specs , new classes everything. But they pulled the plug on 2.0

I really enjoyed Anthem, as a person with over 246 hours. The combat is actually fun, and the flight is some of the best flight I have played. You can actually feel how different the different suits are in playstyles. There was decent variance in weapons. You could customize your suits and load out. This game actually seemed like it would challenge Destiny.

I think im going to re-install and just mess around with some flying and combat. Miss this game!! I loved the combat gameplay and flying. It all gave such a great adrenaline feeling.

This game had so much potential for something grand. If EA weren't so greedy, they could have kept the OG development team intact from the beginning and delivered on the epic story we were led to believe it was going to have. I'm honestly surprised the servers are still live. I can only hope that one day EA will see what they missed and will put another team together to finish what was started.

It's on sale again on all platforms. I just started and got a group on the first mission. Quite a few people still play.

Oh man..... I wanted soooo badly to be super in love with this game. In some ways I kind of was. As you stated very accurately, the bones were amazing. I played day 1, and the game had a lot of issues at the start that took a while to fix, then there was lack of content(end game close to non exostant and story content was very short as well), and some major balance issues. I personally really enjoyed my time playing it, mained an interceptor and it was really enjoyable to me. Darting around, super OP melee, just felt right to me. Had moment that it was super squish, but there were some mechanics to help mitigate that. It was an amazing idea, and they did do really good at some aspects of the game, as other ls have said it is a shame that it didn't have the support it needed because I can only imagine how awesome it would be right now.

I didn't know you could still play this, but that said this game had so much potential that was squandered caused by development hell.

Totally maxed out 3 of the 4 exos. I loved this game so much, have about 400 hours in it. I cant tell you how livid i was with ea for stopping support. Never touching another ea game again

Me and a couple friends just recently picked this up and it’s pretty damn fun so far! Only a few hours in but we’re having a blast so far. The fluidity of the movement with the fun combat is really cool!

I played a Goliath when it first launched. The synergies are amazing behind it. A few times you were trying to get the strategy for certain encounters the synergy between attacks would have helped out a lot.

I LOVED Anthem… its 10x better with friends too. I never understood the hate… but I also did NOT play it at launch. I played it more than a year after it released. I was sad that it died… so much potential.

There’s an alternate universe where Rogues’ channel is spilt between Division and Anthem content.

I haven't had the chance to play Anthem yet and I still feel absolutely heartbroken knowing that it will never reach its full potential. The trailers alone were enough to convince me that this could have been something so special. If only it had gotten a fair chance.

You randomly popped up in my algorithm. I was so hyped for this game because I was also loving Destiny and Division way back when, and really wanted to see how this one could play out. Sadly... things didn't go so well. I'm glad to see what your experience is.
