Why It Might Suck: Doesn't Anthem just look a bit, well, boring?

Given the utter lack of trust EA and BioWare have earned in recent years, it's incredibly tough to imagine this open-world multiplayer shooter being anything more than a shiny but soulless AAA offering centred around a tedious loot grind.

Basically, with just a few months left until its release, EA has curiously downplayed what you can actually do in the game, rousing suspicions that it's set to be another Destiny: stylish, but vapid and lacking a compelling, lived-in world for you and your friends to inhabit.

Why It Might Not: BioWare may have stumbled recently with the Mass Effect: Andromeda debacle, but is that enough to write off all their prior successes?

They know how to put together vibrant worlds on a epic scale, so it ultimately just comes down to how much rein EA has given them.
