Anthem: 15 Minutes of Lost Arcanist Gameplay (Interceptor, Storm, Colossus) - IGN

The entire Lost Arcanist mission from start to finish with a three man team of the Interceptor, Storm, and Colossus javelins.

Oh Great, more going through beautiful landscapes where generic characters say generic stuff to you. Holding down the contextual button and firing at enemies. Top tier content bois. Can't wait to grind 20 hours for one suit. Sign me up, day one!

X-Alchemist1935d ago

Exactly my thoughts, what a stale mission. The combat is flashy and cool looking and the environments are gorgeous. But the enemies were so lifeless without much challenge, excessive and uninteresting dialogue and such a tired mission structure of follow the point, press a button and defend. Meh.

sander97021935d ago

AAA gaming is slowly becoming GAAS, nothing can offend nobody because it will hurt the stocks so it just ends up being generic and boring.

In other words AAA games used to be half money half fun, it's now starting to become all money no fun with some politics mixed in for some reason. Probably has something to do with special interest groups like feminists taking control over the leadership of games companies, or shareholders wanting games to go into the Chinese market which is where all the blood-money is but it's also where all the authoritarian censorship is. You can't have unauthorized opinions or real history in a game if you want to sell it in China.

The gameplay looks decent but everything else not so much. I can't believe this is what has become of Bioware.

Livingthedream1935d ago

If this was a PS exclusive people here would be giving it high praise.

Livingthedream1935d ago

Not sure what the disagrees are about, Days Gone looks like a mediocre Last of us wannabe, and it gets high praise on this site.

ianyoung31935d ago

Hey some games are not for everyone. I see Days Gone and cant wait to play. I can clearly see that the game is not the same as Last of Us. The game has a few similarities but that is about it. And until any of us get our hands on the game we dont really know.

antz11041935d ago

Ah, redirection. Classic defense tactic. Never works.

UCForce1935d ago

I don’t think so. This is BioWare and EA just ruined them.

salmonade1935d ago

Stop being a bitter fool. You've obviously become jaded. This game is multiplat. If any mediocre piece of crap from Xbox gets released, it gets high praise from it's robotic NPC fans as well. Sea Of Thieves and that other game that also got a 69 metacritic (i cant remember the name) were defended all the time and received "high praise" from the faithful. Welcome to gaming. Stop beating your pathetic drum. No one cares. This game really does look boring. People that are used to playing high quality games, can see passed this game's flashy facade. The gameplay loop is obvious.

Couldnt even finish the video because it looks so boring. What are these guys thinking? Only positive thing is the beautiful graphics, but they will probably be downgraded on release.

Livingthedream1935d ago

Lol I'm not sure what EA did to you, but you clearly have some personal issues with them. You go into just about every Anthem article just to trash it, and to complain about EA. You would think that you would cease visiting these articles if you don't have any interest in purchasing the game.

Livingthedream1935d ago

@killer it has a similar look third person zombie like game, albeit their not really zombies. But looks very mediocre imo

rainslacker1935d ago (Edited 1935d ago )

Why do you keep pointing to this being Sony fans complaining about this game? This is a multi-plat game, and I've seen Xbox fans who aren't that impressed with it either. Do you have some reason to keep bringing up Days Gone? I could point out several things about Days Gone which give it the edge over Anthem. Like it's a story driven narrative which seems to be something Sony fans enjoy. So what if it looks like a TLOU wannabe? Sony fans have a great love of TLOU, so why wouldn't they want a game in a similar vein...even though they aren't actually alike beyond the zombie thing. Are Sony fans not allowed to be excited for games that suit our tastes?

People of all console preferences have been griping about Bioware since Mass Effect 3, and about EA in general for longer. Stop trying to make this into a console war thing just to defend this game or Bioware. The game is georgeous, but the game play isn't really all that inspiring. It's a departure from Bioware's previous titles, and that isn't going to make some Bioware fans happy. The game's messaging on what exactly it is is contentious to Bioware fans, and to date, I'm not even sure if this is a MP only game, or if it's story driven, or both, or some weird hybrid. So far, it looks like just another basicly designed GaaS game, which Bioware claims has some sort of SP game play system.

UCForce1935d ago

Here the thing, Days Gone is open world survival game and The Last of Us is linear action adventure survival game. Days Gone feel more like World War Z and The Last of Us feel like No Country For Old Man.

Stop with console war BS. EA ruined BioWare. Stop being defensive about EA.

Livingthedream1935d ago

I just said that if it was a Sony exclusive it would be getting praised on this site and I firmly believe it. Just about any game that they release gets enormous praise on this site even if uts a mediocre game. With exception of knack.

UCForce1935d ago (Edited 1935d ago )

Again, you being defensive about EA. What are you ? A MS fanboy ? Yes. people disagreeing with you for being hypocrites. No, this isn’t like Knack.

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.

JEECE125d 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."

RiseNShine125d 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.

ChasterMies125d ago

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

--Onilink--125d 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

BlackCountryBob125d 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_mmohaven468d ago

yep this is truly a b*tthurt list :/

MadLad468d ago

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

Knushwood Butt469d ago

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

Cueil467d ago

the game wasn't bad though

RavenWolfx468d ago

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

blackblades468d 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

monkey602468d 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.

PlayStation Summer Sale Gets Even Bigger

The PlayStation Summer sale expands with a load of new discounts.

Aloymetal993d ago (Edited 993d ago )

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

P_Bomb993d 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.

solideagle993d ago (Edited 993d 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 :)

shinoff2183993d ago

Check out earthlock. Its pretty good

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

Aloymetal993d ago

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

LoveSpuds993d 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.

GhostofHorizon993d ago

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

ElvisHuxley993d ago (Edited 993d ago )

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

Hellcat2020993d ago

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

Servbot41993d ago

They abandoned Anthem. Typical EA.

CobraKai993d ago

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

BioShockGX992d ago

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

ElvisHuxley991d ago

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

anast993d ago

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 "#$&&%.

Servbot41993d ago

BDO sucks. Only good for the character creator.

anast993d ago

Is the combat worth it?

Phoenixryu993d 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.

phoenixwing993d 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

anast992d ago

Thanks. Is there an alternative to ESO?

phoenixwing992d ago

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

EvertonFC993d ago

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