Even as a defender of this game I acknowledge as I'm approaching about 12-15 hours, it's unlikely to be the game that gets improved and improved until it's the best of Division/Destiny/Warframe. It just has too many built in flaws and limitations.
This is really really heartbreaking stuff to hear. Especially because Anthem as a concept does have potential.
I wish you could dog fight while you're flying around, like Iron Man in the battle of New York. Why build flying into the game itself if it's just a way to travel and doesn't actually play into the combat loop? Warframe lets you fly and fight...
It seems to have a problem that a lot of game stories have where the story is sort of delivered "at you". Lots of weird lore is just sort of thrown at the player about "shapers" and you're just kind of like... K. Whatever. I'll have to experience the narrative for myself next week, but I'm not exactly expecting something universally interesting like murder and conspiracy to immediately grab my narrative attention. I'm expecting a bunch of video game gobbledey gook that I'll never ever care about as much as they want me to.
I loved this game. If you dig Metroidvanias, it's well worth a try for the price of free.
If you hate Metroidvanias it will be literal torture, because OH BOY. There's a moment or two of inevitable WHERE DO I GO AND WHAT DO I DO?! frustration.
