When I did Anthem’s technical review, I noticed how my CPU or GPU usage would spike up at times. The latter, clearly, knocks it out of the park. This category will be a one-on-one between Anthem and The Division 2. That means I cannot judge it based on its PC performance.
#Anthem pc vs ps4 Ps4#
Most of my progress and experience comes from playing it on the PS4 where all my buddies and items are. I have Destiny 2 for PC but I barely play it given that my characters are all low light. Heck, you’d even find them all in this convenient hub from r/Destinythegame. Meanwhile, a Destiny player might tell you to check out the lore subreddit, lore threads, and lore videos on YouTube. There’s a reason why some players of The Division 2 might tell you that people aren’t playing the game for the story. You’ve got a dark tale of revenge (Cayde-6/Uldren/the Scorn), a fully fleshed-out villain (Ghaul), a mysterious benefactor (Mara Sov), a rebel with a dark past (The Drifter), and further details in every lore fragment you obtain. There’s still a world-changing machine (the Traveler), and bad people trying to claim it (enemy types), and monsters (those same enemies), but the narrative flow - barring Curse of Osiris’ entry - manages to hit all the right notes.
The writers and storyboarders in Bungie need to pat themselves on the back for creating the lore, both readily seen, and the deeper, hidden story behind it all. Yeah, Anthem is not winning this category. In Anthem, there’s uh, a world-changing machine, of sorts, and bad people trying to use that machine, and monsters come out… I think. In The Division 2, a virus has wiped out millions and now you’d have to fight to reclaim civilization from the brink of anarchy. It’s an interconnected web of action and exploration. It helps that there’s all-out warfare in the streets, transitioning is seamless, and there’s always something to do. You don’t need a fantasy/sci-fi world to let your imagination run wild: The Division 2 manages to do it in spite of existing within the confines of reality. Although both Destiny 2 and Anthem have beautiful, gorgeous environments - with many leaving your mouth opened wide at the wondrous scenery - far too often you’ll notice how each zone pulls from common sci-fi or fantasy tropes, leaving them a little generic.Ĭonversely, The Division 2 might be grounded in the real-world setting of Washington D.C., but the rendition is breathtakingly faithful and adds plenty of twists with its “six months after the apocalypse” setting. Massive crafted an unreal world grounded in reality in The Division 2. You know when you’ve woken the Hive compared to taking on the Cabal (again!), or even the Fallen.
How about the NPCs that all have their own quirks? Zavala? Ikora? Osiris even though he sounds like Shaxx (or, no, Shaxx sounds like him), and many others? The enemies also look fantastic. Check out how vastly different each exotic armor piece or set looks for each class.
Spiders? Really? I don’t suppose someone has Sting equipped, eh, Shelob?ĭestiny 2 trumps the competition resoundingly. Anthem could’ve competed, if only the enemy types didn’t look so similar or were anything but generic fantasy tropes. The Division 2 can’t really come close since everyone’s a human with different clothing. Sorry (and you’re welcome, I guess) Warframe fans. Plus, by virtue of being completely free-to-play, it already has a major advantage. Note: Just to be clear, I didn’t include Warframe since I haven’t played it. Massive Entertainment saw the flaws in its predecessor, releasing a sequel that tried to do everything right from the get-go.Īll three AAA looter-shooter games are here, and I’ve devoted countless hours to my enjoyment (and detriment), but which one can you consider the best? Which one is truly worth it? Let’s examine and compare the various features, shall we? Finally, there’s Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. Bioware’s foray into the “online, shared-world, looter-shooter” genre had a horrendous opening and was a critical flop as you can see in our review. Bungie’s bright and optimistic sequel was marred by endgame and PvP woes requiring nearly a year to see major improvements.
