Servers for BioWare's ambitious sci-fi game Anthem are being switched off in a few months.

Had a lot of fun playing it with friends for a few weeks. People are haters.

This game had so much potential, the combat was fun, the powers/weapons you got were unique and felt punchy and powerful. The flying was amazing, and when you popped your super and everything around you just evaporated into charred metal and meat chunks? Whoo, that shit was fun.

But the gear upgrade system for everything but weapons was very lackluster. The micro transactions were front and Center, and you really didn’t get many free options to look cool. The prices were laughable for what you were getting. And as fun as the combat was, it didn’t make up for how little content there actually was. You get a piddly squirt of what could have been. And what’s there is repetitive.

It had great bones. With a fresh team it could have been phenomenal with what they had already. They just didn’t try.

I only played it late, after they basically gave you free legendary stuff, so I can definitely see that being a dealbreaker
