I can't believe that we're 2 months from release and people are STILL in denial about this game being a multiplayer-based shared world shooter.

Demos: Jan 25-27 and Feb 1-3.

I know someone who call any games with an online feature a MMO (including ME3, MEA and DAI). On the opposite, you have people who barely consider SWTOR to be a multiplayer game despite having more multiplayer features (trading, global chat, player hub, 100+ people per maps, etc) than Anthem will have. But all of that has nothing to do with builds.

It's been clearly communicated that the major game loops are best experienced with other players. That's true, it is coop first, there's no denying that. But what I keep hearing from you is that there is no SP-like element at all. That's not right either. Not sure why you are in so much denial about the "My Story" part of it? I can't believe that we're 2 months from release and people are STILL in denial about this game being a multiplayer-based shared world shooter. It is absolutely an MP-based loot shooter with a shared world, no denying that either. But it also has SP-like story elements and gameplay, and I would argue based on what Bioware has said, more so than any previous MP-based loot shooter. Here is what John Warner and Mike Gamble said in the recent gamasutra article (Twitter thread): YOU'VE BEEN TRANSPARENT THAT A LOT OF CLASSIC BIOWARE DESIGN PILLARS, LIKE BRANCHING ROMANCES, AREN'T RETURNING. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS REPLACING THAT CONTENT IN AN EXPERIENCE LIKE ANTHEM?I think those moments are actually still very much there, and it's the final expression of that friendship or that relationship that is the thing that's changed. One of my particular favorite moments in the game is near the end of the critical path is a moment where you sit down with Faye and you discuss where you're at, and it's this quiet thing in the back of the fort, and it feels so intensely personal. And by switching over to first-person camera for our conversations, you actually are able to make eye contact with her, and it's this amazing connection that happens. It is about that friendship and that comraderies, and those moments are still absolutely there, there are moments like that with Owen, with Haluk, it moves me. I think it will move our players. I think that just understanding "hey, this is a game with a story that is about comradeship and friendship, that's where it goes." Now far be it from me to overhype the SP-like story elements. There is a lot of room for disappointment, I agree. It's not going to be Mass Effect 2 level of SP storytelling or SP gameplay. For one thing, it's all first person. That alone sets it apart from all previous Bioware SP experiences. Total SP-like story content might be under 30 hours as well, who knows? Expectations should not be set too high -- it's going to be less than any previous Bioware game is a safe bet -- but also should not be set to zero. Both are wrong. I don't think it's necessary to go all the way to "there is nothing like SP in Anthem at all, it's just various shades of MP," as a way to brace oneself against overhype, or I suppose, as a way to combat denial about Anthem being a coop first, MP-based loot shooter. Any form of denial is bad, and the form of denial that says there is no SP stuff at all is misleading. I'd rather have a reasonable, fact-based (or at least, citation based) understanding of what really is there, for better or worse.

But all of that has nothing to do with builds. That was my fault, for stupidly thinking save scumming might be an option because of "My Story" being like an SP game. But, even though my initial contribution was dumb, I'm glad to have the chance to surface some different perceptions about the "My Story" claims for the game. I had no idea there was so much denial about that element.

So we need spreadsheet templates not just for builds but for fashion! If we can identify people who are good at spreadsheet template design (I'm a bit rubbish) and if regack could help with an explainer on how to embed a spreadsheet into a post (and we can link the template in the OP. Then we'll be nicely along the road. e.g.

Then we'll be nicely along the road. I'll work something up. It's actually easy on this side, the annoying/fiddly/more-difficult-to-explain stuff is on the google docs side. I know I embedded one before, I forget where that was. It also works with the PowerPoint equivalent
It was in this very thread. Oops. I'm going to keep editing this post, so it might be a bit. 1) Create your google spreadsheet - this is the easy part, right? right?? 2) From the File menu choose Publish to Web 3) You'll get a modal window where you should choose the Embed tab, then make sure the Automatically republish when changes are made box is checked. 4) Hit that publish button, accept the popup, and then you'll be back at the modal again, with some copy/paste work 5) You don't want the < iframe > tags, so just grab the link in the middle, or you can grab all of it and edit it out later when you come back to BSN to make the post. 6) On BSN, find the EMBED tag on the EDIT POST menu Google Drive is the only option in there right now 7) You'll get another modal popup, where you can paste in the link that you got from publishing earlier 7b) I can't be bothered to click all that, so I just type in the tags in bbcode like so, then stick the link in the middle [gdoc data-url=""] [gdoc data-url="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQRUeBYnxLBhl1RSxc74kDN-kQA780EzVgmGLbg90FFXPHGY7Z-Wb20UzcuWQDziNPIWwW9ls-E-Vmv/pubhtml?widget=true&headers=false"]
