Destiny and The Division suffered same issues. Low content at launch. But they both had top notch gameplay.Destiny at least had a PvP mode, varied environments (4 planets?) a story that lasted a decent amount of time, good enemy AI etc. Can't speak for The Division but it had stuff like the dark zone with PvP or whatever that was called.
This is following the same steps that both those first games had. Though after Destiny 2, and The Divisions updates which made it a really strong game. So anthem looks much worse.
Anthem just kind of sucks. Its only got one environment and everything looks the same, no PvP, very short story, AI is terrible which makes gameplay basically braindead with no strategy to it at all. Its as barebones as it could possibly be. Add on to that the loading screens, no inventory and the myriad of other issues its created for itself...
This isn't following the footsteps of Destiny and Division. It's a lot worse than they ever were.
