yah I have this sinking feeling that anthem is gonna bomb. There appears to be no character development, at least not that they've shown, everyone is just in a faceless mech suit... perhaps just not my type of game.

thorstein1994d ago

I have a feeling that it will be the next "Game to Hate."

But, I don't think it will be a bad game. I mean, I am reading about what the game is and I am definitely not reading into anything or adding content in my head, that they have not promised.

I know that sounds weird but I have seen to many people hate games for not having what was never promised.

Relientk771994d ago

Played the Anthem closed alpha, it was ok nothing that special really. It will be like Destiny, fun for a couple weeks and then you never go back.

Rude-ro1994d ago (Edited 1994d ago )

1 million + daily players for d1 & d2... for 4 years.. I think many games would take that

PapaBop1994d ago (Edited 1994d ago )

Content was the issue with Destiny though, the gunplay is some of the best seen in a shooter. Anthem in comparison looks a lot like Mass Effect. While the combat was decent in Andromeda, it can't hold a candle next to Destiny and that's ultimately what it's up against this time.

Kribwalker1994d ago

in the alpha i felt a lot like Mass Effect 2 and Destiny had a baby. Big problem i found, especially with a fast paced 3rd person shooter was there was no target lock, at least i couldn’t find one, so when i was dodging things i’d lose track of them

AngelicIceDiamond1994d ago

I think launching homing missiles from the air raining down on enemies is a big difference in gameplay when compared to Destiny.

PhantomS421994d ago

TLOUP2 will definitely live up to its namesake. KH3 will probably be fine but considering how rabid fanbases are now these days I'm sure nothing will please diehard fans. The Skrillex song, for example, is deserving of the hate but it's only the start.

Rimeskeem1994d ago

idk if it is possible to over-hype a Naughty Dog game.

MrPickles20181993d ago

sorry I wrote TLOU2 for not having read the title properly, I thought it was the most anticipated games of 2019. Sorry about my poor English. TLOU2 will be the best game of the generation without any doubts.

Skankinruby1994d ago

Not possible, try again rookie

PapaBop1994d ago

The game that left such an impression that an industry professional called it out for using scripting gameplay as they couldn't possibly fathom how a live demo could look that good? If it plays like it does in that demo and combined with Naughty Dog's expertise, I can't see how it will be overhyped.

Twinfinite 1 game per-page slideshow. No thanks

TheEnigma3131993d ago

yeah i said the same thing. This isn't the 90's or early 2000's where all content can't fit on one page.

Anthem Sold A Solid 5 Million Copies In Its Lifetime

The multiplayer action RPG shipped a whopping 2 million copies in its first week alone.

JEECE168d ago

A nice piece of proof-as if anymore was needed-that a game isn't automatically a success if it sells "millions of copies."

RiseNShine168d ago

I don't know if it's still possible, but if it still works, PLAY IT. It's a fantastic RPG on it's own, incredible graphics and story, well worth the Bioware name, i don't know how bad it was on release, but when i played years later it was a great single player RPG well worth playing.

ChasterMies168d ago

This a good example of why you should be hesitant to buy a game at launch.

--Onilink--168d ago

Its has been on sale multiple times for like $2-3… and even when not that aggressively dropped, it is usually in the under $10 category of any sale

BlackCountryBob168d ago

That’s good, but also worth pointing out that after maybe 3 months on sale, this game was selling for about a tenner. Reminds me a bit of Days Gone, good sales overall but only after huge discounts so unlikely to make large profit

What a shitty f***** list! Most of the games on it were great fun. Bullshit list.

chantii_mmohaven511d ago

yep this is truly a b*tthurt list :/

MadLad511d ago

I think the only one I agreed on was Anthem, and even that isn't horrendous.

Knushwood Butt512d ago

Anthem; I'd forgotten that game existed. I remember thinking the trailer was BS though; turns out I was right.

Cueil510d ago

the game wasn't bad though

RavenWolfx511d ago

"Worst big budget games" and immediately lists Genshin Impact, a game that has $4 billion in revenue.

blackblades511d ago

$3 billion and counting along with alot of users. I disagree with that being on the list. This list is just a person opinion without merit

monkey602511d ago

I havent played Genshin Impact and Mafia 3 was alright. The rest though I kind of agree with.
I loved the 1st Kane and Lynch and I could not understand how the 2nd game was as bad as it was.

Aloymetal1036d ago (Edited 1036d ago )

Including indies I’ve bought like more than 20 games, good deals all around.

P_Bomb1036d ago

I’ve overindulged too! Gonna pump the brakes on this next round. Unless there’s a PS+ discount. Need a cheap sub for my kid so I’m not always changing primaries.

solideagle1036d ago (Edited 1036d ago )

could you please suggest good indie games (which are on sale)? I love JRPGs or action RPGs but I can play almost any genre e.g. Transistor is £3.74 which I think is a steal :)

shinoff21831036d ago

Check out earthlock. Its pretty good

Old school jrpg try cosmic star heroine I really like that one

Aloymetal1036d ago

Disco elysium, man eater, inside, limbo
Dead cells, observer, to name a few

LoveSpuds1035d ago

Don't sleep on Darkest Dungeon, Child of Morta or Spiritfarer.

Although it won't be on sale, the best indie I have ever played is release in a week or so, it may be 20 quid but you have to play Hades.

GhostofHorizon1036d ago

Told my partner to stop me from browsing. We'll see how that goes, the first part of the sale already got me.

ElvisHuxley1036d ago (Edited 1036d ago )

Anthem 85% off? Thought they went free to play. Has the game gotten any better?
Edit-Nvm, it's Europe anyway.

Hellcat20201036d ago

The second phase of sales is for all regions
It's just not yet showing up in the ps store

Servbot411036d ago

They abandoned Anthem. Typical EA.

CobraKai1035d ago

I can’t believe they’re still trying to sell it

BioShockGX1035d ago

Got Anthem for $5 last year. Not a bad game for that price lol

ElvisHuxley1034d ago

Appreciate the downvotes folks. I guess merely asking a question bothers the incredibly mature users here.

I might finally go for Black Desert. I've been playing ESO (without MTing my characters) for some throw away entertainment, but the combat is so "#$&&%.

Servbot411036d ago

BDO sucks. Only good for the character creator.

anast1036d ago

Is the combat worth it?

Phoenixryu1036d ago

I tried BDO a few months ago. It's a decent game but I got bored of it pretty quickly. Combat is very action-based, it's fun but very repetitive. There are a lot of menus and most of the in-game systems are a bit more complicated than they needed to be. Some game modes won't let you buy and sell certain items until you convert to a different mode etc. Basically, the game is kind of convoluted.

phoenixwing1036d ago

The mobs barely react in bdo. You can kill half of a mob of enemies before they'll even attack. You'll basically be grinding mobs until you can fight a boss that will even react well. Don't recommend it

anast1035d ago

Thanks. Is there an alternative to ESO?

phoenixwing1035d ago

@anast I'd recommend playing the single player version of es if you haven't exhausted your playthroughs

EvertonFC1036d ago

Highly recommend the "metro saga bundle" £25 all 3 games and all DLC plus free upgrade for ps5 exodus 😊
