In case someone missed the Anthem gameplay demo:

Even though I like the art-style, I find the world so generic and uninspired. Again with the Gods doing this and that. Again with the saving the world. God, they're so boring in their takes on world building.
Basically, without knowing too much of the story, I can already see the pattern of creating worlds where the player can be made to feel like a badass. So childish and immature. And they have enormous budgets, and could do wonders with them. But they take no creative risks. And they never will. Not while under EA.
Good thing we still have CDPR.
I've been recently playing Vampyr, and honestly I'm more excited for that, then for Anthem. At least those guys took some risks and introduced new original concepts. Not the same old recycled shit. Anthem just feels too much like Destiny. Generic Sci-fi mixed with generic fantasy.
Man, when I heard their lead writer during the presentation, again going on with the "gods this, gods that" I felt I was going to puke.
