sharing my steam review - I could not tell you how disappointed I am in how AGS has handled this launch - failure after failure -

–

I have 987 hrs into this game. I think it’s time to make a review.

I have 200 in everything but fishing - never cheated, never duped, never took advantage of all the gaming exploits the AGS dev team continually allowed to exist and i can sincerely say - it stopped being fun about 2 weeks ago.

The development team may mean well but I have to say this is probably the worst AAA gaming launch ever. I can not think of another game that fell on their face as much as this one. This was basically a “how-to” on how to fail at launching a AAA title game. They made mistakes from day one related to server capacity and queue times, and continually have made mistakes and STILL make mistakes that are just laughable, sad, pathetic, and game-breaking.

The crafting system is good when it works (lots of times you try and craft and it just kicks you out of the menu, very annoying)

The gathering system is top notch - best of any MMO i’ve ever played and I’ve been doing MMOs since EQ1 was in beta.

Leveling 1-45 isn’t bad, 45-60 was slightly a grind but nothing like some MMOs, definitely doable.

The repetitive town and mob models really breaks the sense of immersion. You simply have undead, corrupted, animals, angry earth, humans, corrupted humans and…maybe a few more, and that’s it, additionally, you could fight the same mob model at lvl 9 that you can at level 55. There was simply not enough love and passion given to the uniqueness of the models - The game devs/AGS seems like they cut corners and definitely took some shortcuts. Copy paste of towns and enemies/mobs definitely shows lack of passion and care related to the game environment.

The Watermark system is easily the worst gearing idea/concept ever introduced to a MMO or game in general. Talk again about lazy programming with short cuts. Sure just kill the same high priests 5000000 times to improve your gear score.

The PvE leaves a lot to be desired. The “endgame” PVP is simply broken due to lag, mechanics, concepts and other bugs that virtually make it impossible to properly play the Wars/Invasions.

Instead of fixing all the myriad of bugs and issues - they instead rush the “void gauntlet” to tout hey look a new weapon! login and come play! Instead they should have focused on fixing all the bugs and making the game system stable BEFORE introducing another variable into an already broken game.

This game was extremely disappointing. It could still be a great game, but I feel tha ship has sailed, too much time has passed and normally most gamers move on and don’t give games a second chance to level that would be needed to call this a success.

So I am sadly going to say do not spend your money on this game.

We need to stop considering AGS an AAA studio, because clearly they are incapable of producing an AAA title

BTW this is, literally Anthem 2.0, it checks all the boxes :

  • Wrong engine choice ? :heavy_check_mark:
  • Knee jerk reaction type changes to the game months before launch ? :heavy_check_mark:
  • Total lack of content / variety of content ? :heavy_check_mark:
  • Bad loot / gear progression system ? :heavy_check_mark:
  • Awful communication & plain lies to the community ? :heavy_check_mark:
  • Lack of clear direction for the future of the game ? :heavy_check_mark:
  • Inability of the devs to fix the main issues of the game ? :heavy_check_mark:

At this point, I am just SMH while watching this thing go up in flames

I agree with you in many points :frowning:

TBH, I think it’s worse. There was never a point at which I thought Anthem was unrecoverable, the technical foundation worked but they needed to work on the game play a lot. They just gave up and didn’t bother. NW feels like it’s just fragile to the core, fix one thing break three others, and maybe not even fix the original problem.

pretty much agree on ever point.
Just like to add that the end game activity of PVP is also terribly unbalanced, and not very fun unless you play a certain build only.

Also very disappointing they haven’t been addressing these failures publicly
