Early Gamer This is true I still remember the earlier days of 2013 when joe was younger and had more energy when doing his reviews DMC devil may cry’s review was so hilarious it still makes me laugh even today and it’s now 6 years later joe is waaayyy to serious nowadays. I honestly blame EA and it’s investors for games like these everything they touch is bad news we all know BioWare wants to give us fans a new Star Wars knights of the old republic but because EA wants to please its investors it’s unlikely we will ever see another game like that as they shut down any company that decides to go off and make a decent game with story sad times indeed for the gaming industry.

I would just like to reassure everyone that this video is 100% up to date....even 5 months later. Edit: Going towards 7 months and the cataclysm is the exact same mission over and over again - same enemies, same place, same time. Core issues with the game are still not addressed. Edit 2: Going towards 8 months. Post cataclysm the game has been abandoned by the developers for the remainder of the year... more news in 2020 Final edit: overhaul announced, eta unknown. Will the game be built upon or will it be scrapped, we do not know. In any case, pre order and first month buy is out of the question. Ultimate edit: Chris just left the anthem team and no one is taking his place. 99% sure the rework of anthem got canceled. There is no more hope, the anthem project is dead. Maximum Ultimate edit: Anthems future hangs in the balance as EA holds meetings to decide if the 2.0 will continue to be worked on or not. More news next week. Edit 9999999: There won’t be any further development efforts for anthem. F BioWare and F EA!

Even if the loading screens are gone, Anthem 2.0 will just another MINIMUM VIABLE PRODUCT, like EA's every other product. BioWare ran out of money long ago (Jason Scheier's article confirmed that) and EA didn't want to spend any further on it that's why it wasn't delayed any further and was released in such a state. I'm sure EA is spending as little as they can (if they are spending anything at all in the first place), it would be will fixed in a bare minimum amount. If anyone is thinking that Anthem is going to witness some Renaissance, with new story, new missions, new stronghold, new raid, meaningful progression and a worthy product, I'm sorry but that is not going to happen, ever, not at least Anthem sequel arrives.

The Witcher 3 only took three and a half years to make. It had more weapons, more armor, more story, more missions, more voice acting, and more enemies. Almost 4 years later I’m still playing it with 200+ hours clocked in. Sure it’s a single player RPG but you’re telling me this is all the “legendary” BioWare could finish in over 6 years of development? Pathetic.

Not ATF well 1. Witcher 3 is single player which doesn’t require the same type of development. 2. It’s probably the frost bite engine. And for some reason all the 3rd person game’s for it are buggier than the first person games. Frostbite could be a pretty creation in regards to work with for all we know.

The EA cycle: 1. EA sees that a small developer made a good and popular game. 2. EA than buys said developer for a lot of money. 3. EA forces them to cram in terrible business practices into their games. 4. The game rightfully gets panned and criticized for it's rush of development and bad business practices. 5. The developer does this for the few next years. 6. The developer fails because of what EA did, EA no longer sees them as useful and destroys them. Dice and Bioware are next on the chopping block. Both of the developers past two games have been very unsuccessful, and now EA will soon think they are no longer useful, and destroy them.

It sounds like people who know nothing about gameplay did this. I mean really? On the LAST shot? Sure it lasts 20 seconds but you have to literally empty your magazine before getting any use out of that and that's on a legendary. Recoil also barely matters.

[@Ninjamaster227-]

The 0% flamethrower for 0 seconds is what lost me

[@Neox999]

For twenty seconds. And stacks 2 times. It's a buff you get. I guess it would be great on weapons with awful recoil and small magazine sizes. If it takes less than 10 seconds to empty a whole magazine and to reload the weapon you would have zero recoil for all magazines after the first 2 (in case you never stop firing). It does make sense and could be useful. But if it's actually useful in that case I can't say (no idea how any of the weapons work in the game).

[@WikiTora]

If that stacks times two, you can have zero recoil by your third magazine. If there's another passive that can reduce reload speed, maybe for each crit and stack tenfold, it could be interesting during long fights.

Once again, I can't help thinking that they must have completely restarted the development couple of years ago. Something went terribly wrong and they had to start from the beginning with it. This game is what they could do in some 24 months or so, and the rest is coming within the next 24 months. Like some huge technical problem underlying the entire game that forced them to build it from scratch again. There is no way this game has seen 6 years of caring and loving from it's developers. No way! And we're talking about Bioware here, not some random rookie indie developer team. Something isn't right here. I can smell it in the air, and feel it in the ground, yet it's hidden from our eyes. The disaster of Anthem, which brought Bioware down.

Now were are ending 2019 and we got road to the world series to get great rewards from team afinities, additions to RTTS (Road To The Show) we now have signature series cards instead of immortals, moments to get rewards for diamond dynasty, programs are back and improved with bosses that are earned by literally just playing the game. Yes the graphics may not change alot but what do you expect. I see a good game by the NEW content they add every year. EA sucks ass at this cause they add old modes from 10 years ato as "new content" or shit that should have already been in the game that they use as a advertising point. They fucked the NFL games and they are ruining the NBA games now

@@slaymyface1357 MLB isnt made by EA...... its a Sony title. Maybe by a sony studio....

[@slaymyface1357]

@@JackTheripper911 that's my point when you have at least some contenders like RBI baseball you have to make improvements to your games, EA has no competition and practically own the rights to the NFL and NBA titles so they have no incentive to actually nake good games cause its literally this or nothing

[@fragglefknrock7568]

It wasn't EA's fault.

Can we just appreciate how well made and entertaining this review was? Keep up the good work Joe! 👍

Repetative statments for first 10min but once he got going it got very good

[@bfkc111]

Fuck you. Clearly shows you're just some slimy little reddit-turd knowing AngryJoe just since 2 years or so. This is run-of-othe-mill quality, and by the way, what not getting 2-weekly or at least monthly is what everyone has been complaining about. Even so, this is what the channel is all about, nothing else. You turd.

[@Beoslasher]

I enjoyed it! Joe and ACG are my go tos for game reviews. Clearly they rushed the game, hopefully it’ll get better.

@Jackalofdeath Psychopath? Something tells me you have not been paying attention to what he says, and... wait a sec, why are you even here??

[@brennanwn]

More thought was put into this review than the entire game.

[@ShadowzZ91]

I remember a friend of mine was tight lip determined to defend this game when it came out and I pointed out it's flaws. A couple of months later he was like "yeah....." 😅

[@BSJINTHEHOUSE420]

Anthem is the first Looter Loader. A true gem. Very unique.

Destiny has just as long load times they just hide it behind a flying ship.

"The Bob Dylan of videogames", they said. Brilliant.

[@sonnikdoh2510]

But Yo, by 2021 Anthem is going to be the 2019 game we wanted!!

[@markvan2181]

Nah EA will probably shutdown Bioware before that tbh.

[@anupraj18]

We need to shut EA down before it destroys gaming for our upcoming generation.

[@redstar151]

Graphics are outdated in 2021 :p

[@companymen42]

No it won’t the loading screens are intrinsic to the problems of the engine.

[@viperck2428]

Case and point, Shadow of War After much negative feedback, they finally removed the store and rebalanced the mechanics to create a genuinely epic experience, but did so far too late and costing WB Studios many loyal fans

[@iVETAnsolini]

Ya for 6 years, this is kind of funny.

[@windowwax]

Kind of sad you mean

[@princeofsomnia7664]

remember new vegas only has less than a year to complete yet the game itself and characters has more depth Edit: less than or more than a year. Idk. But im sure its less than 2 years

[@seafighter4]

My theory is that this game wasn't in development for 6 years. After ME:Andromeda flopped someone ar EA pulled the plug on whatever they had on Anthem at that point and had them start again.

[@royalrugby4869]

You are slightly right. Two games were in production Anthem and ME:A, from what most say Anthem took resources from ME:A. It is clear now they didn't have enough for two games, they barely had enough for one. You can see, even the story there are a lot of borrowed ideas.

[@arcanistdatabase4868]

3 years just about on world building which BioWare prides themselves on. The other on gameplay; which is why it seems lackluster at times and is bugged. BioWare has never handled a Looter shooter before. Please educate yourself before feigning ignorance.

Despite obvious faults bethesda did the work and its as close to a decent fallout game as its going to be
