Is this the same Anthem that’s plastered in ads all over Origin? I thought it was just meant to be EA’s knock-off version of Fortnite/PUBG? It actually looks like it would be kind of cool as a single player game, I wonder why they went through the effort to make it multi if they only had a year to build?


You may be confusing Apex Legends (published by EA, made by the same people who did Titanfall) which is a rival to Fortnite & PUBG, and Anthem (published by EA, made by Bioware) which is a rival to Destiny.


Anthem was supposed to be a destiny 2 killer (shoot, loot), instead it's become a sad joke. The Kotaku article does a good job explaining why.


I thought Destiny 2 was already dead? It seems it still has it's following, although I always thought Warframe was the leader of shooter looters, even though these aren't my type of games.


It had a fairly major resurgence after the "forsaken" expansion was released. Judging by the size and activity level of the two separate subreddits dedicated to it totaled together, quite a lot of people.


I'm yet to see a game that's as smooth and polished as Warframe. I've tried like 10 and I'm amazed how such a small studio like DE basically raised the bar for everybody else.


But the grind is utterly soulless. I understand the company wants to make money, but I shouldn't have to put in 40 hours a week to make any progress


That is sadly true. My wife and I spent 3 months in a haze last year while starting from scratch and it was fun but it eventually gets to you.

Truthfully though, I'm not bothered. I play very scarcely in the last 9-10 months (not only Warframe bit in general) and only when I'm in the mood. If I miss out on progress then oh well, much worse things can happen. :)


Destiny 2 is actually going partially free to play this fall. The base game and the first year of content will be free.
