This thread is awful and includes titles that have sold millions of consoles and units. Not every game in a franchise can be a hit, but there is a reason they green light sequels and it's not because they didn't sell well.
Yeah if Anthem was a totally different game then what was released that would have been better.Anthem deserved better.
If it was a complete RPG with soft co-op instead of trying to be a Destiny-esc game I bet it would have been received better and maybe word of mouth leads to sales and by now we would be playing Anthem 2.

Retarded. Anthem,Crucible,Concord were all new IP's and total unknowns. Marathon is one of the most important FPS franchises ever and is also sharing the same continuity as the most successful live game, Destiny. Totally different situation. Marathon is not lacking in aesthetics or identity, literally no fucking games name hints at its genre either…Yes, you do see a pattern:
-abstract, one word titles with "gravitas"
-meant to sound important, epic or philosophical
-Sound "cool" and "modern" in trailers
-names never describe gameplay, tone or genre
Hows the gameplay: generic, forgettable, lacks identity. just like the title of the games.
Why? The names are meant to trick the consumers into thinking that these games have depth. Branding first, soul never.

I mean, I do see a lot of "reeee-ing," but none of it makes for a convincing or compelling counter-argument. The rebukes rather read a lot like something from Reddit, which is not a good look.OP getting creamed. Quick make another stupid thread please.
I think this is the third thread of acidic diarrhea I've walked into by OP that makes my threads look incredible.
Truly the local Turd Ferguson of contribution.
"Anthem", "Crucible", "Concord", "Marathon"…see a pattern yet?

People are making fun of you, but you're not wrong. In fact, there's an excellent book on branding called Fundamentals of Branding. It's an old book so it should be available for under $10. I encourage anyone to read it if they want to have a better understanding of branding and marketing a product.Why?

That game and its sequel went out of their way to take advantage of the Wii's poor hardware, where other games do special effects without a problem.Let's remember some other failures![]()

OP isn't wrong. The games he mentioned are creatively barren and utterly soulless. Is anybody really going to say otherwise? With an argument that isn't "oh my god, OP is mentally ill?"

It was also the only other game since Superman returns on the 360 that started nailing flying mechanics down as well in terms of weight and momentum.Anthem deserved better.

Pharmaceutical style names.What's the alternative? Japanese youth novel style titles?
