It's currently on sale now for $1 on the Xbox store.

The fact that that’s a failure these days is scary

 

[TVexperto]

the flying mechanic was so good and shooting was well done as well. wish we could have gotten anthem 2.0

 

[j0hnnix]

I really enjoyed Anthem. It wasn't great but it wasn't horrible either.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Was great.... on PC

If those sales were in the launch period at full price, I'd agree, but I've seen it for $5 brand new in stores. EA lost a lot of money on Bioware the last few years and if Dreadwolf is not a financial success I expect them to close the studio before Mass Effect goes into full production

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

I bought it for $1, never bothered to launch it.

Thanks I'll actually pick it up since apparently it's a FPS boosted title lmao (I originally played it on PC).

I'd buy it but online is required so it'll just be useless someday. I may try it sometime for an hour since its on GP.

They'll probably patch in an offline mode (or maybe it's wishful thinking from my side), but for 1.24 GBP I don't really care.

 

[Spyxos]

Too bad it was a total flop. The 5 million probably only came about because it was almost given away for free. I had my fun with it.

 

[ungalo]

I bought it day one. I made so many terrible choices with this kind of games it's no wonder i just don't want to play any of them.

 

[AJUMP23]

Good first week sales but that drop off is pretty severe once word got around that the game was not worth the purchase.

 

[violence]

Was it the controversy over Mass Effect 3’s ending that caused the doctors, founders of the studio, to leave? The studio was never the same after that.

 

[Robb]

Too much.

 

[Arsic]

This was a game that would’ve easily made itself great within one year of support and updates.

Had a lot of fun with it even in its launch state.

 

[Flutta]

Oh man i had alot of fun with that game. The Iron man flying was amazing. They shouldn't have given up on it so early and they might have had a massive success with it. What a waste..

 

[Dr.D00p]

I got the game for free with my RTX 2080.

...still looking for my refund.

 

[Adam_802]

Not the kind of game BioWare should ever have made.

 

[SimTourist]

Project Dylan they called it. Maybe they needed Project Hendrix to make it good.

The PC port was hot trash. I tried to play it last year on a 3080 Ti and it stuttered like crazy.

I got 60fpsish on the 1080 ti.
Tried it on console and it was unplayable.

The framerates were stable but the frametimes weren't. It felt awful to play. The game never got more than one patch, it was abandoned so fast.

Pfft "Dylan", what we got was Mili Vanili.

It's amazing an Ironman game copying it hasn't released yet.

It was all over the place but still felt good vs the One X version.

 

[Lokaum D+]

i bought a copy

man, this game was a scam like The Day Before, but since EA is a behemoth, no one gave a shit.

 

[Moses85]

One of biggest game flops of all time.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Man Anthem was tragic. The flying and game play looked really cool! It just seemed like everything else surrounding that was kinda booty.

I wish bioware could have used the gameplay from Anthem in something else afterwards. It would have been nice to seem the flying battle mech reworked into better packaging.

Agreed. The flying and shooting was excellent. They should make an iron man game with the same controls and mechanics.



The game had some pretty graphics too. Shame it just fell so short. They should have just made it a story driven game with 4 player co-op and Forget the MMO-lite shit. It Would have worked out so much better for this game.

Will wait til it hits GamePass

Yup bait & switch.

Titanfall meets destiny with a hint of division’s combat, it wasnt a bad idea…

On paper.

But when the game came out as a bug-ridden mess, with loading screens EVERYWHERE, i knew it was best to just play the games it took ques from.

[Diddy X]

If I see it on sale for 1€ I'll get it.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

I dunno... this:

It's currently on sale now for $1 on the Xbox store.

...shows it's not just about sales but the price the game is being sold at.

5m sales at $1 a pop will not even break even on a modern AAA budget.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

What the fuck? Who even liked this game? It got almost universally negative press. It was so unfinished, lacking content, and massively downgraded from the “actual game footage” initial reveal. They were going totally reboot it, until they had too many big name departures and canceled the relaunch.

Anthem was one of my all time biggest gaming disappointments. It looked so cool. Destiny style looter shooter with mechs and Iron Man style flying. And remember how the excuse for ME: Andromeda was that BioWare’s “A team” were all busy working on Anthem?

I didn’t even finish my free trial with Origin

 

[stn]

I want to buy it but I'm scared they'll kill the serves one day and it will be unplayable.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Millions of suckers.

 

[Saber]

Its a garbage dry game, painted with a cover of cheap gold paint pretending to be the biggest game of all, just to fail miserably. Deserved every criticidm.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

And I’m one of the assholes who bought that pile of shit. Urgh.

 

[Pop]

Guys you have to ignore the lifetime sales, irrelevant. Focus on that first week sales of 2 million. Pretty darn good.

The problem was the game was half baked and not at all ready. Didn't take a week for people to figure that out

 

[TheMan]

My biggest disappointment of last gen. The game had so much potential and they just couldn’t capitalize on it. Then they teased us for months with a possible 2.0 relaunch and that came to fucking nothing. Goddamn just give me a good Exosquad game

It doesn't seem like so long ago that selling a million units lifetime was a smashing success. The industry is a little fucked if 2 million full priced sales is one of the bigger failures from last generation

 

[VolticArchangel]

You mean after the EA acquisition...

Spoiler

 

[tmlDan]

man, who was dumb enough to buy that. Everyone should get refunds.

Unpopular opinion here but I loved this game and played it religiously. The game was a mess for sure but it had a lot of good things that I enjoyed. The combat was fun, the flying was a lot fun, story was pretty generic however. They had some really good seasonal events and the last up date with Cataclysm was great. There was a small community of us that stuck together and had a blast with the game and I was genuinely disappointed when they cancelled it I was hoping they could of turned it around but unfortunately they couldn't find anyone to lead the team it a concrete direction. Sadly to fix it they would have had to ditch Frostbite which given the sales wouldn’t have been worth the investment.
