NOTE: Yes I played this part in a DUO, however I played the rest of my time with the game as SOLO. It'll make sense next video, LOL.
NOTE 2: Gameplay footage was from an earlier build still being actively developed. Everything you see is subject to change prior to release.
It was pretty nifty to play, and I have more to talk about next week (?). See you soon.
PART 2! Let's chat a bit about Characters and how they shine (or dull) in #Anthem.
ANTHEM: THE WORLD — Part 3 of my #AnthemGame series! Lore Discovery, Exploration, and Dead Grabbits. I talk about what's helping make Anthem's world tick.
ANTHEM TIPS - Part 4
I played Anthem yesterday!
Based on that, here's some Tips on playing #AnthemGame's VIP Demo
(Other than 1. don't die, and 2. don't wipe the team)

Ashe is my favorite...love her balanced viewpoint and frankness. I got a definite Phoenix armor vibe on the coloring of her Javelin...or maybe it's just me.

This video makes me happy because: 1) Solo play is discussed as perfectly possible. 2) The characters etc. are described as pretty good (not only here, other videos as well)

Her armor coloring kinda reminded me of Ashley's armor from Mass Effect 1

Good guess...
Ashe ladyinsanity (Jan 7) I'll be asleep when it's up, but just thought I'd mention that today's video's attire on my YT was inspired by the best armor to ever be worn. Like... ever.
I liked that she showed the end of the mission. For her Normal run she was awarded all of ... 3 Commons and 5 Interceptor parts.
Pretty disappointing in the loot department.
Anyone else think it was kind of weird that crafting materials were just lying around in nodes/piles here and there? I guess that's no different than DAI, but given the "urgency" of the mission, felt weird seeing her stop to pick some pile of organic gunk.
I wish she had said more about solo play. I mean, all the commentary could be summarized as 3 bullet points:
* Will hardcore Bioware SP game fans like Anthem? Maybe.
* Can you solo? Yes.
* She thinks Anthem is an MMO, except without the first M.
Inquisitor: Is that innuendo? Sera: No, it's at the front!

Forgive me, since I'm not entirely sure. But do you and Ashe share the same user account, or are you LadyAshe?

Looks like ME:A gameplay with some added refinement, tuning, and tweaking. A huge plus for me ... maybe a negative for some.
EDIT: As for the video I think Ashe should have used that initial voice over track as her notes for a more scripted and focused approach. I feel like she can do a much better job than that.

Glad I'm not alone. All of these astroturf marketing public "influencer" videos are making me less and less excited. The gunplay does not. look. good.
You mean you weren't a fan of 'launch in air - ground pound - couple of attacks - launch in air - ground pound - couple of attacks - launch in air - ground pound - couple of attacks'?

yeah and especially the "let me use my two abilities together to make a devastating C-C-C-COMBO!"
does just barely enough damage to kill a basic mob

Can I kill any single fucking thing with one well-placed bullet to the head of my enemy?
This bullet sponge fixation of BioWare's, which has gotten out of control since DAI, has apparently not been considered well yet.
DAI - here, let my massive Iron Bull hew away at you with his enchanted war axe, you little spider you. Seventeen swings oughta do... If Shepard had to fight enemies with DAI melee weapons or MEA guns, he would say fuck it and just over cover grab everyone out of spite.
Make a gun that actually kills things, or go away. Nothing breaks immersion more; I know if I let my character take that kind of abuse it would be dead dead dead in seconds.
Scaling difficulty by HP is for unskilled developers without any sense of creativity. It must be better.
All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand.

Pretty much all people who played the mission underline that they were low level and used vanilla abilities.

Eh it seems like the people were getting used to controls and are under leveled. I’m sure we’ll see more devastating and interesting combos as people get better.
That was pretty hard to watch. She seemed like that she wanted to be positive about it but couldn't. Maybe it's the way she talks but it came across as just meh. And I'm going to assume (of course I don't know for sure) that single player aspect will come across like Destiny where most of the best content is held behind the multiplayer end game raids.

Exactly. To me she didn't sound too excited. It was as if she was trying not to speak ill about the game. I mean after all they flew her out to sweden for this demo. I'm going to wait to see if GamerMD83 will have a demo of this. Something is telling me she wasn't invited.

I've always liked Karak from ACG. A lot of his reviews fall inline with how I feel about them(though not always) but he doesn't really do demo's. I'm definitely going to take a wait and see approach with this game. I've played Destiny 1 and Warframe but only because my buddies wanted me to play with them and never really got in to the games that much. Never even tried Destiny 2...

I was just going to wait and see if MD was invited and see if she was going to do a video on the demo. As for the game itself, it's already on my "not going to buy list." There are just many more superior games in this genre, also I'm really not interested in looter shooters anyway. But hey, at least you have an open mind.
Her vid definitely lacks enthusiasm, but nothing wrong with that if it is how she feeld about the game. In general when looking at gameplay, I rather watch someone play without commentary to be able to focus on what I see. There are other vids out there - like the RyanCentral vid discussed in other threads - that transport my hype for the improved ME combat, so I would recommend looking into other videos too.
