As Anthem breathes its last, I still find myself mourning just how close it came to being the BioWare game of my dreams

The BioWare Anthem servers will shut down on January 12. Anthem was launched nearly seven years ago but never fully realized its potential. Despite initial excitement and captivating gameplay mechanics, the game suffered from a lack of mission variety, limited equipment options, and slow narrative pacing. BioWare announced in February 2020 that it would halt seasonal updates to focus on a "substantial reinvention," but a year later confirmed that Anthem was effectively dead. The game is remembered for its promise and the nostalgic experiences it offered to players.

Those shadow giants in the distance in Elden Ring Nightreign are over 2 miles tall⁠—almost as big as the Erdtree⁠—and nobody even mentions them in the game

The giants in Elden Ring Nightreign are measured at 3,450 meters tall, making them the largest entities in a Soulsborne game, surpassing the Dragon God from Demon's Souls and the big rope man from Sekiro. Their size is comparable to the Erdtree, and even the largest monsters from previous titles would barely reach their knees. The RLA Strider measures 4,953 meters in length. The Planetary Enclosure satellite from Armored Core 6 stands at 5.9 kilometers tall and spans over 11 kilometers in width. The narrative surrounding these giants is ambiguous, with no explicit references in the game, but they are suggested to play a significant role in the story.
