Shroud gave a grim outlook for EA\u2019s blockbuster Anthem Popular streamer Shroud has been diving into the VIP demo for the latest blockbuster shooter, Anthem, and he\u2019s not convinced that the title has what it takes for long term success. Anthem is a major release for EA as it will be the publishers first original IP in eight years and will look to remedy past blunders in the form of Mass Effect: Andromeda and Star Wars Battlefront 2, but the popular streamer didn\u2019t have a great outlook for its future. During his playthrough, Shroud said the game was entertaining and thinks it should be pretty well received at launch, but doesn\u2019t think the charm will last soon after the content is over and all that is left to do is grind for loot. Shroud was approaching the tail-end of the game\u2019s demo when he took some time to reflect on Anthem, and it didn\u2019t look too good from his point-of-view. \u201cIt\u2019s whatever. It\u2019s definitely better than I was expecting, I was expecting it to be a lot worse than it is,\u201d Shroud said. \u201cBut still, games like this never last, honestly. People only grind for so fucking long, and they\u2019re just over it.\u201d Although he admitted he enjoyed Anthem more than its counterpart, Destiny, he wasn\u2019t convinced of the game\u2019s lasting appeal. Loot is a big part of these games, but he\u2019d rather grind for loot in MMO\u2019s, as opposed to cooperative shooters like the Division and Anthem. Shroud said that based off the demo, he would rate Anthem a 7 \u00bd or 8 out of 10, but maintained that \u201cthis isn\u2019t like an evergreen fuckin game, that just lasts forever.\u201d Numerous members of his Chat seemed to agree, but Anthem will look to keep players engaged and entertained when it fully releases February 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
