High: My cast came off and I can hold a controller again. Low: If I thought I had potato aim before, I should rethink now that I have atrophied muscles/tendons around my freshly healed thumb. High: Still got my 20 HS, just took a while and felt stiff adjusting my aim. Low: Need more curries.

Not in game, but...
Low: Dislocated my thumb, need some time to recover. I can't use my controller at all and as such, no ME3MP for the next little while. :/

Low: yesterday I got a depressing match. I used warlord and another guy was using kroguard. and he ignored all of my headbutt. I thought it is supposed to be an internati---no, galaxy etiquette. That hurts my feeling. Lower: another pugs also ignored my headbutt. That's not nice. I would not ignore your headbutt. Some people have no manners. I only headbutt true krogan. Technically I'll always return a headbutt, but don't expect me to show respect if you brought grenades to the party. Such an impersonal way to deal with problems.

Low: rusty, joined gip, all fresh manifests. Ran out of most my gear.
High: one of the puggies jumps on the mic and says "all hail the queen" while I solo out yet another wave. Might have been sarcastic, but I chuckled.
High: next gip was better, got my 20HS early.
Low: Host nuked spawns, including w11.
High: It wasn't enough.

I have a similar issue now. 1.0.4 looks interesting, but there's still no word on a number of technical problems (Pilot Data, etc.) so I think I can resist it. That and I doubt the game will be worth $60-80 for quite some time, if at all.

"I've yet to buy Anthem" implies that I plan to. This is not the case.
I will consider purchasing Anthem should Bioware fix the game AND it is offered at a steep discount. I doubt the former will ever occur, but I can't say I'll never buy Anthem.

After uninstalling Anthem, I loaded up ME3 to see my readiness at 56%. Popped into a quick Gold match and was worried my abilities might not have been up to snuff. Thankfully, budhalen showed up. We messed up Cerberus, teaming up nicely with our Turians.

The bright side is if they do finally manage to have a stable product, the price will likely have come down greatly by that time. My Origin Premier Access ended yesterday... against better judgement given the current state of the game I still went ahead and bought a key for it. Game at least gave me 6 legendaries so far since then for my birthday Hey, to each their own! There is fun to be had in Anthem and it can really only get better. But the current technical state and horrible design issues prevent me from putting any further time/money/energy into this game. Getting loot drops means nothing when the game doesn't work. Yeah, I got a legendary this morning, but I also had an Error Loading Pilot Data and a EA Server disconnect. You can't have more errors than good loot drops per hour and expect me to stick around.

Got to Max Tier 10 so that if I make anyone's Weekly contributors, they get the paltry amount of coin and promptly...
***Error loading Pilot data***
...cancelled my Origin Ac....
***You have lost connection to EA Servers***
...Access. I'll be uninstalling the game once I can figure out how to purge it from my running processes.
In all seriousness, I will be keeping an eye out to see if Bioware can get some of the technological issues out of the way. Given the state of things, I don't expect the game to be in a workable state for some time, if even at all. The bright side is if they do finally manage to have a stable product, the price will likely have come down greatly by that time.

I for one welcome my new position as QA tester for BioWare. I'm sure it will pay handsomely So that's what they meant by "freelancer." -Game always starts up with level 1 pilot, leads to "Error Loading Pilot Data." -Game does not shut down properly, requiring Ctrl+Alt+Del to clear from taskbar. -Scaling issue results in loot being useless. -Rubberbanding starting to occur with patch 1.03. -Freezes. -Sound still cuts out. Alright Bioware, my time is worth $41.03/hr. The above took me about five minutes to uncover, so I'll be expecting my cheque for $3.42 shortly.

As it stands, it is not even a minimally viable product with numerous crashes and restarts. The game never shuts down properly, persisting as a background process until you Ctrl+Alt+Delete. "Error Loading Pilot Data" occurs with greater frequency than Masterwork drops per hour.
This means I can't review the game. I'd say what works is worth around 6/10, but how can you score something when it works less than half the time? The game simply isn't a stable product.
Verdict: Not viable in current state. Feels like a beta.

Attempt 1: Error Loading Pilot Data Attempt 2: Head didn't load, Error Loading Pilot Data Attempt 3: Need Dominion kills, try HoR, find nothing but >Monitor fights due to farmers. Attempt 4: Go for Tyrant Mine, head doesn't load, Error loading Pilot Data. Attempt 5: Do some freeplay, get bored, close Anthem down through the menu from Fort Tarsis properly. Game refuses to close and operates in the background. Ctrl+Alt+Del required.
This would be my average experience, I'd say. On the plus side, I have all Javelins at MW now.

Maybe I'm weird, but I thought Bioware's main studio was "diagnosed as terminally ill" with ME2. When the game started with Shep's contrived death, the shoehorning with Cerberus and the general meandering with the main plot, I was positive the Bioware of old was dead.
Looking back, ME3MP was the only pleasant surprise since 2007. It wasn't made by the main studio either. It seems as though EA agreed with me which is why Montreal got MEA. Problem is that the studio didn't have SP or Frostbite experience. They were the wrong studio for the job.
Bioware isn't dead yet, but they've been sick for a very long time.

I am pretty sure the game has many pros,but they are not enough to overcome the cons. As much as I'd like to recommend Anthem, this is basically my opinion in a nutshell. Patches and support may fix a number of the problems, but I think there are significant design issues that may prove difficult to overcome. Really the only positive I can give Anthem (and it is a big one, with a caveat) is that the gameplay is the beefiest Bioware has made on Frostbite to date. However, everything surrounding the gameplay ranges from merely average to downright broken. As it stands, there are very few reasons why I would consider purchasing the game in future. A price drop alone will not be enough.

2x 95% loading glitch and general Origin BS. Had a good laugh that Origin states "Last Played: March 2, 2019" when all I've been able to do is run from the basement to my suit twice. I also have to Ctrl+Alt+Delete just to purge Anthem as a task after the Alt+F4s. Edit: Well, that's 4 attempts including a repair and a restart. We'll see if the Anthem gods let me play some other time.

Storm - Main, but its definitely a weakness to focus on the kit. Ranger - Second place, getting this built up to MW. Colossus - I want to get a little better with this guy. Granted, I'm well behind on gear for it. Interceptor - meh, I'll get to it.
It's kinda like ME3MP to me where I feel like I haven't done the game justice if I stay with one kit/loadout. I'm doing what I can to make everything work.

I have to say though: the game starts to get fun when you are Level 30, maybe get curried in some farming runs and start to get better gear, weapons with special abilities and so on - so you might be disappointed with all the stuff before that. You might be right; read somewhere that masterworks weapons are much more interesting than the meh stuff you get before that. Also good on you for enjoying the game; that's how it should be. But you do understand there's something inherently flawed with the design as a whole, when game grips you only after several (tens of ) playtime hours..? After all, it's a competition for our spare time and there's just always too little of it. For me, it's the opposite. I had a good time playing through the campaign and story sidequests when they worked, but now that I'm in the endgame loop I don't find the core gameplay to be enough to keep me pushing on. Yes, the Masterwork/Legendary gear stands out a bit visually and with perks, but they feel the same as their standard variants (except for Thunderbolt of Yvenia, thanks to that 33% chance of shock). The game will end up like ME:A for me - I'll give each kit a good run and then call it a day. Once my one month of Premier is up, I will not be itching to pick the game up even at a discounted price.

3 games in a row like this actually (DAI, MEA, Anthem), don't forsee myself buying this or any future games by EA/Bioware AAA gaming industry needs to crash TLDR: Anthem is the definition of mediocrity; Bioware will burn with it, but maybe it's a good thing... Yeah, I see a lot of worry for Bioware that I simply don't understand. Yes I have nostalgia for KOTOR, JE, ME1, but I think Bioware lost it's mojo by ME2. ME3MP was a happy accident and the only compelling thing I've played in a Bioware game since 2007. DAI and MEA were kinda dull and I couldn't get through a second playthrough of either. Anthem has been the most fun since, but it is an uneven experience and decidedly average at best. I don't necessarily see Bioware's demise as a good thing, but given their last decade of output, I'm certainly not at a loss if they go the way of the dodo. ...as long as the ME3MP servers stay up that is.

I prefer Anthem, but this is kinda like saying which one of my last two bowel movements was more enjoyable.
Andromeda is a bigger letdown, since it's actually a Mass Effect game. Anthem isn't as disappointing since it's a new IP and I haven't been excited for a Bioware game since the first fifteen minutes of ME2. I was hoping they could try to capture some of the spark of ME3MP, but I don't think they did a good enough job of this.

The time when the objective failed to update during a story mission and the third time I respawned it finally took and we were able to proceed. Seriously, that is my favorite moment so far. Now if I can get it to work on this bugged sidequest but still no go after four attempts. As for an intended favorite moment, I liked the Freemark cutscene quite a bit. I also find the characters and main story to be pleasantly engaging. It's not the Bioware of old, but it's enough to keep me going and I like it better than ME:A and DA:I thus far. Haven't finished it yet so that can change.

IMO, OP kits on gold. Gold is a lolfest. Bring your predators and melee kits, use crappy consumables. You don't need SI+BW, grenade spam, reegar or flamer. Heck, even on Plat some of this stuff is too much. Depends.The kit should be compliant to the player's skills and experience.Not everyone can use mele or predator on Gold.Many players can't survive it,especially the PUGs.For BSNers sometimes even predators can be OP on Plat. After all the game is for fun,and if anyone gets fun from BW/SI i don't mind,if he/she is not enough experienced ofc.That said,i agree with you in the when it comes just for scorewhoring. Agreed. If you need that gear to stay competitive, then by all means go ahead. But most that use this stuff are simply looking to roflstomp which isn't fun in the long run. Variety and challenge is key.

Should have concentrated on one thing and make that awesome instead of what we've got now. After my last attempt at playing, I really wish they focused on making the damn thing work. Three logons, two crashes, one sound bug, three missions failed to resolve due to objectives not updating even after deliberate deaths/respawns resulting in an entire sidequest storyline being put on hold. I'm pretty patient, but I can only tolerate so much. This is all after a patch too.
