I do believe it has some merit. I think the original HUGE outcry about the loot drop had a lot to with it. The game is good. The loot drop rate is fine. It's why you play the endgame. It's the thrill of the hunt. When that yellow diamond signifying a legendary item pops, nothing beats that feeling. I have played over 400 hours and still I search for the legendary drops. What would be the point in getting a great loot drop every single time you sat down and played? The graphics are beautiful. The explosions are spectacular! I have not seen one comment on how difficult it had to be to have the character you are playing appear in cut scenes in the armor you chose to outfit him in. Not only that , but the people in your squad are in the background in their exact armor outfits too. Still playing and still loving Anthem.
