I'll buy Anthem 2.0 if it turns out to be a good game with meaningful progression and a fun gameplay loop.

When the sun rises in the West and sets in the East. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When your womb quakens again, and you bear a living child. Then EA will make a good game, and not before.

Looking forward to this. I hope they don't change the feel of flying around too much. Being able to Iron Man around was really cool and would like more of that. If they can add some depth to it to be anything like Destiny at all, it'll be a really cool looter/shooter to come back to every once in a while when they patch in a new raid or update.

You would buy my shit after a drunk gaming weekend if I knuckled down and squirted my left ass cheek into a Fallout 76 box.

I own the game and enjoyed parts of it, without going into details, I thought the mechanics were fairly good, stuff like flying around, the feel of the different Javelins, the shooting and abilities were good. What wasn't good was the gameplay loops, loot and overall anything you did at the end game.

I had forgotten about the game, forgotten they were doing a 2.0, and the announcement doesn't really excite me. The most it manage to get from me was "I own the game, and enjoyed it, so I have nothing to lose trying 2.0 when it comes out" but honestly not excited about it, and very little faith that they can actually turn it into a good game.

I will try anthem 2.0 when they get it out there. The core flying/fighting/shooting mechanics were great. Thats usually the hard part to get right so if they can get progression/story/gear mechanics working in a satisfying way it should be a great game. I played the shit out of all the various strong holds and they were all enjoyable. They also nailed how each suit feels very different in play and demands different game styles.

Yup, the light suit felt like a ninja, while the big one felt like a true tank, the other two were both different too and they all felt great to fly and shoot with. I agree the combat in a game is tough to get right and they did have some good bones there.

I think the fact that the core game play was so fun is why I got angry with this game because most of the things that failed seemed to be them intentionally not looking at how other games hit rocks at end game with looter shooters and just hit all the same fucking mistakes all the initial looters did in basically the same way. LIke the luck stat a number of games have tried it and it always winds up being so problematic it has to be removed.

I liked the caster one the most.... Storm I think was the name? I'll totally give this another look if the rebirth is done properly a la No Man's Sky or FF14.

I mean if you already own it there's no reason not to give their revamp a try, but nothing could get me to ever buy another Bioware game at this point.

Definitely looks like an improvement. If only they'd spent time completing it in the first place before serving it only 1/4 cooked. I own anthem on two platforms so assuming I get the update for free I'll try it out. Guess it won't come out until 2022 at the earliest though since they probably only have 2 devs working on it.

I'll happily buy Anthem 2 six months after release when it's $7.99. Those fuckers aren't getting all of my hard earned shekels with another half cooked release.
