A Freelancer has created a Javelin build for the Colossus that they've referred to as an Autobot build, and it's a powerful one.

Why would anyone waste their time on Anthem? There must be only a literal dozen players left who have yet to discover Warframe and/or need help.

Darkborn1542d ago

Pretty much. I couldn't get past like level 12 without quitting Anthem.

xTonyMontana1542d ago

Pretty much this, as a huge fan of stories I quit the game the moment they had me jumping through hoops to progress the story. The gameplay is shallow but a lot of fun and the graphics and sound design is top notch but for Bioware of all developers to put this out just hurts, they've certainly came a long way since they completely blew my mind with the original Baldur's Gate.

UltraNova1542d ago

I'm still hoping Bioware pull's a No Man's Sky and surprises us with a free massive update that'll add the necessary story elements that are sorely lacking and a shit ton more content to the game.

They will not be forgiven of course, but at least show us they listen and that they're willing to return to form, they are a huge studio, with a celebrated history, under the biggest publisher after all so no excuses.

That said, reality and common sense dictates that since EA is calling the shots, Anthem development is long dead and they had Bioware move on.

xTonyMontana1542d ago (Edited 1542d ago )

^^^ They are supposedly it was rumoured they are planning a complete overhaul and it was Jason Schreier who broke the story, so it's likely credible.

AnubisG1542d ago

You would be surprised. I actually have friends who started playing Anthem about 2 months ago and actually like it. I just don't understand them but they defend that game like it was their baby and I'm the crazy guy for thinking that it's just bad and I'm just being negative...

monkey6021542d ago

I have a friend who I'd usually agree with on games. His favourites are some of the best and he often recommends great ones I might be unsure of or have missed.
He loved Anthem. Spent about 200 hours on it and got the Platinum before eventually moving on but something hooked him and I'm not sure what it was. Maybe because he doesn't usually play multiplayer games at all

Cmv381541d ago

To be honest, the actual gameplay mechanics, were good. The combat and traversing, were fun. Kinda love destiny 1. But that was it, everything else was very very very bad.

Casepb1542d ago

Warframe is rather boring as well.

Daeloki1542d ago

Why waste time talking shit about Anthem? Seriously, we all know it was a letdown by now, let the ones who keep playing it have their fun.

Segata1542d ago

Yes, let's support EA scummy practices and encourage it. Good call.

Daeloki1542d ago

@Segata the "literal dozen" playing the game hardly counts as support. Talking shit about Anthem at this point is neither going to change EA's practices nor push them to improve Anthem.

i’m not gonna lie, i got this when it was on sale for 5$ psn this past xmas sale, and while it did start off fun, it died off very, very quickly. i had already reached endgame within a few days, and in the second week, i stopped playing completely; even with the seasonal events in full swing. there’s nothing wrong with the game on a gameplay standpoint, but the content is so lacking that there’s really no reason to play it at all. hopefully the “version 2.0” fixes it because bw is in desperate need of something positive. i’m genuinely surprised that people have managed to play this game regularly since launch. there’s literally nothing more to gain after a few weeks.

Knightofelemia1542d ago

Sure wish High Moon studio was still around and pumped out another Transformers game

Skate-AK1542d ago

There is a chance that they could now they are done helping Bungie on Destiny.

FinalFantasyFanatic1542d ago

I only finished both their Transformers games the other week, brilliant Transformers experience, I wish their was more though.

King_Noctis1542d ago

I wish people would just stop playing this game (or games like Fallout 76 for that matter) to show all these greedy publishers that we don’t want games like these.

spwittbold1542d ago

lmao bunch of pathetic losers here.

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

BioShockGX993d 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.

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 😊
