I Played Anthem In 2024....I Didn't Expect This

[@sherpagoolsbee8390]

I absolutely loved this game. So sad it didn't get the Division treatment and allowed to grow over time.

[@Meme_dad1]

@@sherpagoolsbee8390 it should have gotten the bungie treatment. Cause division is hot 💩 at the moment

[@theahearn2658]

Unfortunately EA is very much a company that will stop putting money into something just because and they will let the game burn and the developer will get all the heat which bioware did not deserve the heat that this game generated because of course Andrew Wilson the Australian douchebag forced them to put this game out in such a horrendous State instead of giving them that Grace period to fix it.

[@darkshotmk3]

I missed this game. It had such potential

[@flinx58]

@@Meme_dad1 thats because the Division got the Game of Thrones treatment lol. i.e. they said "we just got the go ahead to do something star wars, so we better hurry up and tie this up... dont worry, no one will notice or care when we are done because they will be too infatuated with out new star wars project..." then proceeded to screw up the IP significantly, and yes, people DID care, notice and are upset about it... as for the Division, they ARE trying to fix things, but so much of their original team is scattered that its taking forever. *sigh*

I loved this game, but it definitely wasn’t finished. If they remastered it and finished it, I would absolutely play it.

[@shadowstyleb]

It was finished. The problem was the endgame content. The loot table needed to be expanded.

[@billy_cross]

Percent finished the entire story is there from start to end then game is there I’ll be at small. It obviously had issues like the loading screen time. Jesus Christ even playing it on newer hardware on a PS five the loading screens are still outrageous and there was several issues I mean, I was really really interested in the concept of where we were when that was still a concept That need to return to the platform and then go through another loading screen to get inside the city and then I’m going to walk around at a slow walk to get to the quest givers that was fucking annoying right why didn’t we just land in the garage? I mean I didn’t understand the garage at all the point of it and it took another loading screen to get there I mean the number of loading screen was ridiculous. That was one issue that they always needed to fix when you went out you went through a loading screen when you got through a dungeon, you went through a loading screen to enter. There were so many when you returned there was a loading screen, and once you looked at your stats from the mission, there was a loading screen to go inside to say I mean, loading screen at their loading screen at the loading screen they needed to make it more continuous They open or faded for people and it’s for players with not enough. There were events going on and you might have one player at one to one player another event nobody was like working together and some of the events needed multiple players they needed to do away with the garage. They needed to make the city a shared environment. They needed to let you watch right from the city to cut out one loading screen I mean when you land back in the city, but the gameplay the mechanics, the gear the shooting the movement beach whatever they’re called. I can’t even think what the suits are called. Each suit literally had its own place style. They were like a class each one had its own place style And that could’ve been expanded on with future expansion. They could’ve expanded by adding more strong hole. They could’ve maybe added something more than a strong hole for like a complete braid, but the game was released complete in every way it was just buggy and broken. I mean and everybody bailed before they got it fixed. They did get it fixed, but by the time they did, the population was gone everybody had moved down to something else. First impression right once you make a bad impression and you lose the crowd you’re not getting them back they dropped it. That’s why they dropped it. They realize that re-earning the trust. It was not going to happen so I spend more money but at this point, the game itself is a polished finished product. It’s just very swim on Comptonstuff we would’ve got it expansion just never happened.

[@mickweathers6168]

I just put the ps4 disc in my ps5 and downloaded all updates ..should I even try playing it or just give up now like everybody else?

[@Dennis_Reynolds_Golden_God]

It's thanks to Anthem that i got into Destiny 2. It was my first looter-shooter and by far my favorite. If they brought it back, i would drop Destiny 2 and run back to Anthem in a heartbeat.

[@AKDubs06]

Same, I got into Destiny 2 through my Anthem friends when they left Anthem. If you haven't tried Borderlands, that franchise is my favorite looter shooter :)

[@theahearn2658]

Oh I an original destiny player from the beta from the first one and i went over to anthem and I'm right there with you. I will drop destiny 2 if they bring anthem back and fix the game up and actually give it to love it deserves because it deserves every damn second of it

[@xiontw3018]

Same ^^.

It is has so much potential - I would play it regularly no question

[@xiontw3018]

@@timesausages I am with your Opinion Sir. Greetings from Germany.

[@Biohazz13]

Looking like gold compared to today's problems with games

[@Struggle.Snuggles]

Anthem was great, it's main issue aside from gaming glitches was EA. EA basically force rushed this game to be pushed out and was perfectly okay with fixing the issues after release. But when the issues were too big and players made it clear, EA went into panic mode and expected a fucking miracle

[@Noksyk]

The best Flying hero mechanics outhere, not a single game could replicate this. Simple, the best. I miss that game

[@kenydemeza]

None. Not even close

[@huskerzero381]

I played on release, did all 4 characters. Did all Raids. Levelled to top tier,all weapons. Loved it. But they abandon us, we went through glitches, crashes, poor loot. We stuck with it. But in the we got tossed aside . Shame such fun game. Took big break from destiny with a group of my clan. Been a day one Destiny player,still playing. Watching your videos all the time. Keep up the good work.

[@timesausages]

Thank you - it is very much appreciated!

[@jakewilliams713]

I stopped playing because the endgame was basically just grandmaster nightfalls and it got old really quick

[@frankiechan9651]

Anthem was a game that I got on the hype train for - I was looking for a change from Destiny and the dream of being Iron Man was so tempting. Then it launched and my heart was broken. I did end up buying a copy for the princely sum of $1 from the bargain bin of a game store, but it's never been opened. A friend of mine did end up playing it (post patches) and has suggested many a time for me to at least have a try. I may end up giving it a go since it is on Gamepass and the current season of D2 is just not grabbing my attention.

[@richardlefleur4957]

It's much better now than it was on release.

[@timesausages]

I'll be diving in now and again!

[@OptemusPr1meXBox]

Storms have a cloak like D2 Hunters but they're actually more like a Warlock with hovering and elemental abilities. Interceptor is more like a Hunter. Ranger/Colossus are like a Titan.

[@Aarkwrite]

I wish they were allowed to at least finish anthem 2.0. Also I feel the same way about Outriders

[@richardlefleur4957]

I was actually devastated when EA announced it was ending support for this game. I really hope another developer picks it up and re-releases it.

[@kelvinmaseko2509]

I would do anything to play this on PS5 and developed with love

[@wrathofhorus638]

[@AWatson87]

I think I’ll be picking this up the next time it’s on sale, good to see that it’s actually worth giving a go.

[@DelbertStinkfester]

This game was the beginning of the end for BioWare

[@SamxSZN_]

I bought Anthem at launch for £5 through a deal at TESCO, and I enjoyed it a lot, the gameplay is still my favourite iron man like experience ever, it's just a shame the story was pants and it lacked end game content at launch.

[@setadoon]

This game was awesome and had so much promise. Its a shame they didn't stay with it

[@telboy007]

What stopped me was... higher level gear was meaningless because low power gear actually performed better, my campaign bugged out and I could never get past it, server lag and rubber banding across the map constantly and the crashes.

[@timesausages]

Sounds very trying that

[@slushyfrog1344]

I personally quit because i had found out they would be stopping development shortly after the tragedy of lawbreakers shut down, and just couldnt put forth the time to play a game that also wouldn't exist for too long.

[@timesausages]

A fair point that.

[@CarlDamn]

Just imagine if Anthem and Destiny merged. The universe would implode of perfection.

[@timesausages]

Would be all kinds of awesome!

[@Carweizer]

I played the game from the start and loved it. Sure it had its issues and bugs at first but it was new and fun to play. However I disliked how it wasn't given any attention during development and was rushed. I agree it has great potential and hope it's picked again and evolves into something even better.

[@tambulee]

there are still a few Freelancers hoping this will come back.

[@DeathBat_1990]

Anthem had so much potential. They gave up on it too quickly I think. I haven't played since launch I remember the missions being repetitive but the gameplay was amazing!

[@Kappachino1911]

3:10 You can actually cool your jets by flying low along the surface of any water from the mist you create or flying through a waterfall and it's spray.

[@CinobiteReacts]

To cool your engines you can also fly low really close to the water or fly through water falls. The open world colossus monsters were always good. The UI was horrendous

[@glyph2011]

I was hyped for this when it was announced. The EDGE magazine article a while before release made it look so, so great. But even though I LOVED the flying (which, btw was a feature that was almost CUT) it just never clicked with me. I still visit it from time to time to have a fly around. As that almost cut function is the one that draws me back.

[@jasonhooper9910]

I love this game! I got a small group that load up and play when we get the itch. I love my Ranger and the constant ‘ding!’. That one sound is the most important thing in the game.

[@joeblackp687]

Me and my partner played this on launch, we don’t play many games together to be honest but this was one of them and we both loved it, such a shame it was canned like it was

[@buzztanut]

I enjoyed it at launch, once a few bugs were fixed, but I quickly made my way through what story there was, and then it was announced that it wasn't going to get really anything else added to it and wasn't going to be supported any longer. So I walked.

[@cyberuspunk]

We need you on warframe. We currently have an ARG going on and a good sausage vid would be welcome about it.

[@RedShadowOfSaturn]

Most Destiny players who main PvE and spend a lot of time lamenting Anthem need to be on Warframe, for sure.

[@timesausages]

I think warframe would be a good fit for the channel I just need to find a way to fit it in - if you see what I mean

[@andymuir2877]

I go back to this game from time to time loved it

[@kevo1110]

This was easily my biggest heartbreak in gaming ever. I waited for it from the day it was first announced, and even though it was in tatters at launch, once things stabilized a little, the game was genuinely enjoyable. Someone needs to scoop this IP and do it justice. There is something special here - it just needs to be realized and brought out.

[@philiphayes1470]

Never played it but that's because I don't play outside of first person. Nearly lost my left thumb when younger so play with limited movement and no feeling in and around the nail area. Jumping between third person and first makes me play even worse in both but Anthem really intrigued my interest. Never thought ied be saying this but destinys glitches on xbox left me without progressing tonics(only have about 25%). Beginning to think bungie are trying to make me buy a PS. Anyways back to Anthan, game play looks like something ied enjoy..! Thanks for sharing... "👍"...

[@timesausages]

It is very good - I agree with the changing from fps to third person - I find it an adjustment

[@k0m0d067]

Actually, I saw a post on reddit saying the producer wants to reboot the game. 🤞🤞🤞

Cross fingers!

It is 60fps via the xbox fbs boost in settings,you just have to enable it.

[@derikc24]

This game had so much potential. I was traveling for work when it came out and was hoping it would be a good time sink. While I do believe I got my money worth. It didn't have enough of an end-game for me.

[@sammysokosammysoko]

My kids (teens) and I played this and loved every second. They absolutely nailed the movement and controls. It's fun just to move around. It needed a bigger world for such flying abilities, and WAY more different optional content, but what's there is really kind of stunning. If this game had a world more like the size of Horizon: Forbidden West or Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and leaned into some RPG elements, it would have been an instant classic. The looter shooter roots killed this one. I would love for them to take these bones and reanimate these gameplay mechanics and concepts into something truly great.

[@darkbatman-vk4tw]

I will say this I played the game when it came out to play and when the developers decided to not work one this truly cared for game

[@DaBachela]

How's it going Sausage?! The class you’re playing is like a Mage type. Used to my main/favorite javelin to play back when it first launched. I stopped playing basically for the same reason as most people, lack of endgame, servers were crap a lot of the time, etc. The gameplay was fun fantastic though. Heres hoping some other devs revive this gem.

[@timesausages]

Doing good, I right with you there!

[@JayMatthews]

I think this got a FPS boost on the Series X (not sure about the S) but what I heard the resolution drops quite a bit.

[@timesausages]

Thank you!

[@CRAVEN79]

The game was absolutely awesome. On launch it wasn’t. After a few updates it was a throughly enjoyable game. It’s the first example of how KZbin Influencers dog-pilled on a game to the extent that the reputation damage made it impossible for the studio to continue to put any resources towards it. It needed a few tweaks and some ongoing support to provide more content and it would have been an absolute banger

[@darkshotmk3]

If you fly close to the water so you essentially skidding on it the water will keep heat from progressing. Going through a waterfall will cool the heat (been a while soni dont know if it completely cools ornjust removes a portion)

[@TheOneWhoNeverWas]

Btw it's 60fps on xbox via fps boost.

[@quintenstclair8626]

The producer of this game said in an interview he wanted to relaunch this game hope it gains traction.

[@planetruth1013]

Yes this game had potential played it to the max but the story was unfinished and started to get a lot of server problems. What i loved the most was the map was huge and multi leveled you could be doing something up the top whilst your team mates could be roaming somewhere far down the bottom that part of the game was unique.

[@zaccarman6683]

The only problem with anthem was there wasnt enough anthem. If it had been run like destiny or warframe it would have beated both. I absolutely loved anthem i put a good amount of time into it. Only bad thing was they gave up yo early. It just needed more content. More things to do more loot and more cosmetics. Gameplay was fantastic

[@TheCjSmooth84]

I still this with my son. We have a good time playing. I wish they kept up with it.

[@Jangocat]

I loved this game at release, the flying and fighting mechanics were great. The problem at release was there was no content. There were like 2 multiplayer missions and limited single player experience. it got boring fast. It looks like they added stuff since I last played, might have to try it again.

[@mmonkeybone]

I loved both the game and its concept and its made me so depressed how it dident get a chance to shine from what happened im just praying some day it will get picked up and given a chance.

[@davidhache1267]

The people who hate on it didn’t play after the updates. It was a lot of fun and a shame it didn’t last. The combos and stuff was great

[@sourakotsos]

The combos were great since day one. The problem with Anthem (as someone who played a few months) was mostly the loot and the variety of missions/dungeons/raids. Only 3 dungeons, only 4-5 different missions and the loot was kinda trash. You could not distinguish the green rarity one with the legendary version because they were exactly the same model. Getting random perks with random values was not it...more often you got trash than something worth. The world, the flying was awesome along with the abilities and shooting but once they said that they are done supporting, i was done too.

[@danielwilliams7562]

I could have sworn the servers got shut down and it was impossible to play now

[@Jawa_Jedi]

This game was great! I stopped playing cause none of my friends played it, I would love for a 60fps patch

[@timesausages]

Someone said in a comment its possible to get 60fps on xbox but I haven't checked that out yet.

[@Phillip-s4j]

Playing it RIGHT NOW! To be honest, i've loved it since launch. Desperately needs some financial support for a reboot.

[@OptemusPr1meXBox]

Stopped playing 4 months after launch because it was ultra repetitive and the updates were ridiculously minimal. Also on GM3 rewards were tremendously mediocre. Legendary is similar to Exotic in D2 and GM3 Strongholds rarely dropped Legendary items which was very frustrating for the time commitment.

[@klaw7050]

[@marcuscamp2829]

The loot drops were bad in the end game. You could play the most difficult content and never get anything to help advance your build. But the gameplay was awesome.

[@chill9096]

I loved playing anthem. I just got to endgame and got bored. The player base started dying off because of bugs and glitches and bad PR. The main bad talking point was the very very very long loading screens.

[@daedelus8277]

It was one of my most favorite games ever, so incredibly fun to play, the main problem was the loot system.

[@easyDuk]

This game just locks up my pc on start up

[@spartakos3178]

The flying and ironman fantasy is super fun. Needed better loot systems, more playable area and more customization

[@Loco_Da_Ryder]

It was fun but the problem came because it only had 2 factions to fight and only like 3 bosses. The town was supposed to be a whole town to explore and places to go ppl to talk to but they only had that small area to move around. Maybe 4 ppl to talk to. Once you got high level everything was super easy even on the highest level of play.

[@darkshotmk3]

Storms hover has reduced heat build up its there main stick. I compare them more to warlock the float in the back andnuse there abilities to set stuff up.

I Was Almost End Game On That Game But Due To Low Player Count On Hard Missions , Legendary , Etc Missions (Strongholds) I Stopped Playing It. Sadly ...

[@nathanb7166]

It is a good game. There is a few bugs here and there. Nothing game breaking anymore. Just a bit annoying if it happens. Yes the game had a bad rough launch that it never really recovered from. It's an Iron man+ game. Grab it for a few bucks and have fun playing it out. People still play it, mostly individuals in other areas of the world. You can use the waterfalls to cool your jets. Just fly through them. If you want to get together and have some fun I would love that. Do not worry I will keep a bit quiet and not take over the vid if you are streaming/recording. What you are playing is "Storm" I believe it was called. It has an extended ability to hover and overheat much less in doing that than other Javelins. I like the Frost and Electricity elements for that Javelin. You can have up to three other people jump into your area for a total of four people playing and assisting each other in there mission. For me I never stopped playing the game but I can have long periods of no play. Long enough that I might have to relearn portions of the game when I play it.
