HAHAHA!!!! Ok, so I got this image kinda third hand, so take it with a grain of salt but if this is accurate ... well, I know we all want to play the demo bu you have to admit this is dam funny. Maybe this whole Anthem thing was all just a plot by BioWare to DDoS the entire EA infrastructure and ruin them, so they can gain back their independence?

Played for quite a bit this evening. The missions are short and chaotic, the writing in Fort Tarsis is actually pretty nostalgic. It's really Bioware'ish. The dialogue options feel a bit out of a place, since they don't really matter.
Loot shooters aren't my genre, and I might prefer The Division's setting over Anthem if I would play one (now if Anthem was in the Mass Effect universe... I'd play the shit out of it). Since the missions are so fast paced, I'm sure it's more fun with friends/family because you wouldn't be racing from objective to objective and really immerse and explore together.
Flying with mouse and keyboard went smooth enough, with some practise I see no problems there. The battles themselves are pretty chaotic, so far it's just kill kill kill.

I got in a few times, but only once got to actually play a mission rather than getting stuck at loading.
The conversation back at base when you complete the mission is interesting, I won't spoil it

I managed to play a mission after setting it to private. The matchmaking seems to have some issues. It's very ME:A for the combat, which is fine.
Flying is better now. The base seems so quiet with no one talking or making noise.

Well, after walking round fort tarsis, talking to everyone, spending my coin in making my javelin look awesome. I got booted to desktop and I'm now back to square one. I'm done for the night. Good evening all.

Played the three missions. Not bad, the combat is better than it was in the Alpha. There's a decent heft to the feel of combat, as I summarized during the alpha it feels about midway in movement between Destiny and Warframe.
Part of the reason combat felt real bad to me in the Alpha was I was stuck with an assault rifle. First thing I did here was change out to a scout rifle and shotgun, which was a fine choice as they pack a much better punch. BioWare is just not good at balancing assault rifles. A good scout rifle looks like it'll keep the pace of 2-3 headshots to kill mooks, which is just right IMO.
The mini story arc we see feels like better writing and staging than Destiny's story, though admittedly that's a low bar. I'm really not a fan of having a voiced 1st Person POV protagonist, and the dialogue choices don't seem significant at all.
I am worried about inventory space. It looks like there's a 300-item limit. I can see hitting that easily especially if you spread attention over 4 different javelins.

Posting tentatively. PS4 I’m in. First try. Granted, main screen said I had no connection to the server, but I pressed X to continue and I’m magically in anyway. Everyone is disappointed at connectivity issues. Meanwhile, I’m sitting here disappointed at the typo in the demo welcome message in the very first sentence on Fort Tarsis. (“center of life of the frontier” - second “of” should probably be “on”, would sound better; also matters not a bit as it’s only a message to demo users, not a Codex entry or something)

Made a pretty swanky Gator Orange and Blue javelin. Because of course I did.
Annnnnnd this mission is clearly not happening. I don’t even have a load progress bar. Just the load screen about not all game content being available in the demo. Just that load screen and music for eternity.
Kinda what I expected given the reports here. Oh, well, time for some ESO...

I completed the first mission and got back to Tarsis without a hitch, then tried my hand at customizing my Javelin. I'm not very good at this, but here went my first attempt:

I've managed to make it through 2 missions now...2nd one was crazy fun and way more challenging than I anticipated. Same problem loading back into Tarsis at 95%. Probably going to have to kill it again and suffer through multiple attempts to get back in. Mission two was a major highlight. Had a very good theme and mood that felt surreal. Very appropriate music that added to the atmosphere too.
