I loved the flying mode. The game had potential and I was hyped for 2.0. It is sad that EA and Bioware did such a bad job. It deserved a full fleshed put release.Noname37281

This game has such an incredible amount of untapped potential. The flying, combat and even activities are fun. The sheer satifaction of flying around the world. Feeling like a walking/Flying Arsenal. I've met some amazing people while playing this game, in random groups or randomly out in the world. To get personal, I have CFS, chronic fatigue syndrome. Which means I'm housebound the vast majority of the time. And for a lot of that time, I'm bedbound. Every so often I like to get on Anthem and fly around. And it gives me such a feeling of freedom. That for a little while, I can forget and escape the difficulties of my condition. In a weird way, it's theraputic . This game continuing to be avaliable would mean so much to me. And I wish EA had given it time to be improved. They have the potential of a juggernaut moneyprinter here!

Games deserved to be preserved, whether they are good or bad. Even if I'm not personally the biggest fan of this game, it still does not deserve to be thrown to the trash heap of history, like EA seems to enjoy doing with all their games.

This game, although very unfinished at release, has one of the best, if not the best flight and flight combat mechanics in any game ever. I haven't seen and felt something like this in over 25 years of gaming and it's a shame that is has been treated the way it was.

the flying in this game was great when you changed the settings a little and the weight the suit felt to have. just a shame they couldn't deliever on promisted. I put about a 100 hours in before I couldn't justify keep going simply due to the lack of things to do. sad since I had the big pack

Anthem launched with sky-high expectations. BioWare, famed for its storytelling pedigree (Mass Effect, Dragon Age), set out to create a shared-world looter-shooter with stunning visuals, customizable mech suits called Javelins, and a living sci-fi world. The concept? You’re a Freelancer, a daring pilot navigating the wilds of Bastion in your Javelin, taking on missions, battling enemies, and uncovering ancient relics. Had a great time and enjoy being a Freelancer, hope EA gave this game another chance since it deserves it.

It's a damn shame because this was a game with so much potential that never got to see the light of day. Combat is tight, flying was fun and with a little TLC and a loot rework, it could have been an amazing looter shooter that had the staying power Destiny ran away with.

The first hours in this game were magical. Being ironman and with different armor styles. The game loop was actually not too bad, but it had some growing pains naturally. It had so much potential and only thing the developers did was expand the ingame store. But it was so good power fantasy until the endgame.

I'd love this game to be still playable in the future. Setting, mood and gameplay felt just right. In contrast to Destiny 1+2 the characters you interact with don't feel sterile and toned down. And the great title theme by Sarah Schachner (Legion of Dawn) is still living rent-free in my head. My favorite memory: the Manifold questline. Please keep this game playable, at least offline.

...

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
