On sale for $9 bucks on HB.  Worth a try at this price point or is it a total and utter dumpster fire not even worth this lowly price of admission?

    Actually I know Anthem got a lot of hate. As an action shooter adventure game. It’s awesome, beautiful world amazing flying and combat. Co op fun absolutely. As an continuing online shooter not so much due to lack of true endgame and no real ? to chase. But for $9 Even if you only play through the story. You’ll get 30-40 hours of non stop flying gunning and exploring. Anthem does have heart. But needs that extra life like FFIV and Destiny 1 got from there remake and Taken King.

    I've considered it at these sub-$10 sale prices, too, mainly because they say they are committed to redesigning the core gameplay loop and relaunching, and I wouldn't be surprised if they bump the price back up after that if the game shows signs of life again. 

    I just bought The Division 2, which was on sale for $3 on all platforms. Once a game is down to the same price of a mid-day trip to the vending machines, there's not much reason to pass it up if it's even remotely close to something you want to try.

    Nope it's EA

    This isn't a signature, you just think it is.

    Not sure if your kidding or not but it could be a set up to milk an additional $10 before F2P...... I would love to see how this turns out.  It maybe the next new trick they pull on us.

    I never had any desire for playing Anthem in the first place. Jetpacks seems silly, no sci-fi and just some more fantasy bs. :| Also, a console port action game, not at all my favourite, or even close.

    I like adventure games that are deep, but not shallow and gimmicky like Mass Effect was.

    Anthem is a great Power Armor game.  Flight and Combat feels good.  Lore is interesting.  I got it at $20, and felt it was well worth the money. 

    Overinflated hype and expectations caused the high dudgeon to flow, but going in with lower expectations, I was pleased with it.

    If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

    That’s real business.
    F2P is ALWAYS plan B, for every game.

    And Anthem Plan A was doomed long time ago.
    So you do the mats.

    Dude, Destiny, which is a far better game is F2P, so it’s Warframe.
    What makes you think that Anthem can command a subscription or a even a B2P?

    They are just milking what they can before the inevitable announcement of F2P.

    Just play Warframe or Destiny 2. Much better contributions to the genre with much better developers.
