This review is what the game is about, finding the best way you want to play!

sammykiernan1845d ago

Yeah I'm not convinced by the bad press, I've had more than my money's worth with this and really enjoyed it.

AnubisG1845d ago

After what has came to light in the last few days about Anthem, I find it strange that people still want to support this. But hey, if that's what you enjoy, go and play it.

Alek831845d ago (Edited 1845d ago )

Not to mention that the game is broken, with crap loot, and a lack of progression.
Why play this when there are tons of better games out there?

Giblet_Head1845d ago

Buyer's remorse is an amazing thing. Some people will do whatever they can to rationalize a poor purchase decision.

BigDan801845d ago

Except most reviewers get sent their games, so that probably doesn't really apply...

Giblet_Head1845d ago

@BigDan80 Judging from this site, I have major doubts this is one of those.

KillBill1845d ago

@BigDan80 - actually most reviewers do not get sent review copies. a small fraction of reviewers ever get a free copy sent to them. Most reviews are actually made by people that have purchased a copy of the game. Only the real big reviewers really have the availability of getting review copies of games.

MadLad1845d ago (Edited 1845d ago )

I enjoy janky games too. I love the Risen series, and Spiders' games. They were also made on a budget, with love, and the charm pushes through.
This is a AAA release that took almost a decade, and didn't even know what its true direction was until about two years from release.
Completely broken; anti-consumer, but I'm glad you still choose to defend it, because you managed to salvage a decent time out of all the nonsense.

Germaximus1845d ago

Anthem is awesome.Stronger together!

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.

JEECE126d 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."

RiseNShine126d 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.

ChasterMies126d ago

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

--Onilink--126d 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

BlackCountryBob126d 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_mmohaven469d ago

yep this is truly a b*tthurt list :/

MadLad469d ago

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

Knushwood Butt470d ago

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

Cueil468d ago

the game wasn't bad though

RavenWolfx469d ago

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

blackblades469d 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

monkey602469d 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.

Aloymetal994d ago (Edited 994d ago )

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

P_Bomb994d 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.

solideagle994d ago (Edited 994d 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 :)

shinoff2183994d ago

Check out earthlock. Its pretty good

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

Aloymetal994d ago

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

LoveSpuds994d 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.

GhostofHorizon994d ago

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

ElvisHuxley994d ago (Edited 994d ago )

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

Hellcat2020994d ago

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

Servbot41994d ago

They abandoned Anthem. Typical EA.

CobraKai994d ago

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

BioShockGX994d ago

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

ElvisHuxley992d ago

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

anast994d 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 "#$&&%.

Servbot41994d ago

BDO sucks. Only good for the character creator.

anast994d ago

Is the combat worth it?

Phoenixryu994d 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.

phoenixwing994d 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

anast993d ago

Thanks. Is there an alternative to ESO?

phoenixwing993d ago

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

EvertonFC994d ago

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