10 Video Games That Wasted Brilliant Concepts
1. Anthem
Where do you even begin with Anthem?
Created by Bioware and announced in 2017, Anthem immediately got people's attention thanks to its cinematic trailer, showing off what gameplay was supposed to look like.
Flying through a jungle with an almost Iron Man-like flair, and fighting off aliens with friends was a concept that was exciting. Going quickly from the air to the ground in a huge sci-fi setting was something that so many people wanted, and the excitement for this game was sky high because of it.
But Bioware just couldn't live up to those expectations thanks to a now infamously rocky development.
While the general flight and combat felt great, the lack of story, the lack of content, and the over-reliance on grinding for loot made it a slog to get through, and the many annoyances and technical issues on top of that during its launch window quickly evaporated any excitement people had for the game.
The playerbase for the game quickly died down, and now all that's left of the game is a bunch of questions of what could have been.
