  • Anthem – Is It THAT Bad? | For The Players – The PopCulturists’ PlayStation Podcast EP110
    Since it's launch Anthem has been a laughing stock of the games business.
    With allegations of a bland world, poor gameplay, and literally no story Josh was intrigued.
    After playing the Beta neither Ryan or Josh were too interested, however with EB Games practically giving away copies Josh took it onto himself to actually give it a go.
    In our attempt for minimum level investigative journalism we ask: Is Anthem that bad?
