I’m interested in getting into the online multiplayer co-op shooter genre but I feel like I’ve missed the boat on Destiny and The Division series (I know The Division 2 is coming out soon, but I’m talking ground floor on a new IP) and god only knows when Borderlands 3 is coming out. Everything in my gut is telling me to not trust EA or BioWare after the BFV and Mass Effect: Andromeda launch debacles respectively. But there is just something about Anthem that is drawing me in. I haven’t purchased a full priced game on launch day since BF4. So I figure if I go all in and it’s a flop, I’m about due for one.

Anyone else getting it day one?

It's not for me. I just can't get behind futuristic shooters like Halo, some of the CoD games and now Anthem.

I also can't get used to WASD, so all my FPS games are played on Xbox One. Lol

I just like the fact that if someone's behind me, I have a chance to get away. More realistic ones, you're ****ed. lololol

I'm on the fence still. I'll wait to see the launch, no pre order from me. I read that every activity will have matchmaking. Will probably play a good bit like Destiny.

One thing that sounded good, was the loot tables were more like Diablo 3, so the RNG is real apparently.

I agree about the futuristic shooters. I prefer things simple and fast. Shooters have slowed down to the point that they're not exciting anymore. Thankfully the new Unreal Tournament is free and has pretty active servers. WASD for life though!

Are they like D3 at launch or D3 today because those two loot tables are worlds apart now lol

Now this is relevant to me! I had no idea this was a thing, and yet it's released already!

Unfortunately not for PC, so I'll be buying this on Xbox One.

That's where I disagree with you. The advanced mechanics and abilities of the futuristic shooters keeps things fast paced and exciting (if that's your thing) so long as the maps aren't atrociously huge. My all time favorite FPS is Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (and now Modern Warfare Remastered). It's slower paced with appropriate sized maps and very realistic.
