I doubt once I reach the endgame that it will hold my attention like ME3MP does. The funny part is that I'm starting to like the game more now. Yeah, I can see that. IMO, a 10 hour trial isn't really enough to give the game a fair shake, but you'll get some superficial impressions (graphics, feel, audio). I just don't know if the gameplay loop will be as satisfying as ME3MP in the long run. Grinding for better and better gear isn't really my thing despite maxing two manifests in ME3MP. I liked taking every weapon/kit and making it work which I don't see as fun here. Sure, powers are interesting, but the guns aren't varied enough for me to care and seem to play second fiddle to power use/melee. End game seems to be about finding guns that apply an electrical effect for dealing with shields. I do want to play and make lesser-used kits work, but seeing as there are only four types and only a few different status effects, I can see that I'd exhaust the options pretty quick.

Wrong Moby, I do care. I trust your opinion more than most since you're one of the few that may know the likes of Uh Cold, Max Dmian, and Disciple888 'round here. I've been playing the game myself through one month of Premier. I like it better than ME:A thus far, but this is not saying very much. I doubt once I reach the endgame that it will hold my attention like ME3MP does.

Refreshing
Played a few matches with a Hannibal182 BOTB pug. They started off a little OP for Gold, but there was melee between waves and progressively more hipster kits were used until we both ended up with Locusts in the last game.
I wasn't expecting that from a pug at all.

lolsilver couldn't resist Yeah it’s embarrassing how much I’ve let my skills go. SP is so damn easy you get soft playing that exclusively. I was going to rip on you for the bronze/silver troubles, but this statement proves you are more wise than your difficulty choices dictate. SP Insanity is for scrubs.

I wish. At my best when I was playing memp 10-20 hours a week I could survive and not embarrass myself too much on platinum though I felt comfortable on gold. Coming back after a long absence I doubt I’d do anything but face plant the entire match. The only enemies were reapers not reapers plus Cerberus or something. So I finished off a banshee and some basic level enemy I called a goon for short I think it was a marauder might have been a cannibal . Which ever it was it died to a warp/singularity combo. This type of stuff is the reason Sonashii is the King of the PUGs What, for not understanding that the word "goon" is synonymous with "mook" and doesn't mean dragoon in this instance? The English language is tricky sometimes.

No. I will use KB+M and I will like it...I want to run with a pizza dammit. You can still run it with the controller mod. As long as we define the term "run" as loosely as possible. Playing with a controller is perfectly fine, but if you can switch to M+K then do it. I'd only recommend controller use if like me, you don't have a desktop setup and you work/play from the couch. Potato aim is an interesting handicap.

It will do better than ME:A, just by virtue of attracting a broader player base. Whether it will be successful is a different story and I believe this will largely be down to how the game will actually work at launch, including whatever pay model is actually pushed.
That broader player base is impatient. If the game doesn't feel right/load properly at launch then I don't see it recovering.
I don't care one way or the other, but I will keep an eye on Anthem after launch to see what happens.

I'd bet the demo was launched purely to get data on how many people customized their loadouts/behaviour so they can tweak their pay model.
Yes, 25 coin per vanity item and free colors aren't a 1:1 representation to a paid system, but EA is hardly to be trusted to act rationally.
Not a conspiracy thing at all, btw. More a toe-in-the-water since they can't do standard lootboxes. They can also compare data from VIP to open demo.

I like it, I just don't "full retail" like it.
It's better than Destiny for me, which I tried. But there are a number of problems I've seen that will make me wait to see what happens after launch. The chief problems I noticed:
-Crashes, technical issues. I had three crashes and other issues after four attempts. -I don't see how the main story will be playable with friends given the Fort Tarsis segments, unless everyone is on the same schedule. -Without proper communication, you have to watch idiots take echoes halfway across the map before figuring shit out. -Bullet sponges.
What seems positive for me:
-Feels pretty solid, somewhere between ME3MPs weight and impact and MEAMPs floaty pillowyness, but closer to ME3MPs weight. -Can't see much of the story, but there definitely is one. Haven't gotten to know the characters much, but upon first glance they are more interesting than those in ME:A. I doubt they'll hold up to the OT level, but that's to be expected.
Solid "Wait and see" here. Pretty boring given how polarizing EA's stuff is.

Played some fun games with burningcherry. Some old school kits were used, reminded me of the console days. But there's only so much OP I can take in a night. Let's break out the uncommons next time.

"Mixed bag"
Had a spawn of two primes dumped on me, a lot of aggro headed my way all match. Did get a helping hand (from a lurker here) on an objective, so not all bad.

Pleasure to meet you, onionjack ! My Quarian ate the deck on White a bit, but it was a fun and fast game. Ah yes, we did meet, as long as matches are fun it's all that matters That and Turians. BSNer + TSent = good time.

I'm also interested in some ME3MPer experiences with the game. I can't trust many others' point of view on this. Shinobu , I'd like to know your take! Um, this seems like a lot of responsibility that I shouldn't be trusted with, but I'll try my best to answer.
Don't worry. I always take others' opinions with a grain of salt and if I were to seriously consider Anthem, I'd try the open "demo." I was interested in your take because you and I have similar playstyles in ME3MP. Awesome. I'm a scrubby console gamer and have always used a controller so I doubt flight will be a problem for me. Hovering and shooting is actually one of the few things I enjoyed about MEAMP. Turian Havoc raining Venom and Flak was kinda fun. (Didn't make up for the rest of the game though). I'll bet there's region lock à la MEAMP, so getting games together may not be easy. Hmm, discord may be an option then. I'm not too worried about the story as Bioware hasn't sold me on a plot since ME1. I'm sure I won't be bothered by the "intermittent" sections due to the social aspect. I can see how it will be an annoyance for many though. As for aim, well, since I use a controller I have potato-aim regardless. I just might give the demo a shot this weekend - horrible weather here anyway. I doubt I'd jump right into hard though. Thanks for taking the time, very informative.

I'm not saying you can't enjoy a video game or get invested in stories/characters, etc. Just making the point that in the larger sense it's not worth getting your personal jimmies rustled because someone likes/hates something you hate/like. Totally fine to discuss overarching themes as a larger commentary, but I'm a little weary of people taking things too seriously is all. I find BSN (at least ME3MP) to be very balanced in this respect.

Hope ya'll know you're discussing bunch of animated pixels, nothing less, nothing more. Certainly not a reason enough to get edgy or offended... ~stuff~ Big caveat, video games are entertainment first and foremost. How they make you feel should be taken under this context (in other words, not too seriously). Really enjoyed this myself. Skellige is great and I love the background music there. The DLCs are great too, with Blood and Wine being really cool.

I can't agree with my friend Inert here.Yes,ME2 doesn't follow the mian story line,but it does many other things.Trolls were a very interesting enemy,the game atmosphere was just great and the side quest made me feel all characters like my friends IRL.I almost started to cry when Mordin died or Anderson.ME trilogy's world is just amazing,very,very well created and written.I don't uderstand why BioWare went in that direction.I mean Andromeda.Milky Way has an unlimited potential.They could continue with many existing and interesting story lines or with a new one in an already well developed world.I finished ME1-11 times,ME2-14 and ME3-3 times and still enjoy them.ME1 and 2 are two of my all time favorite games. We don't seem to disagree much. I didn't say ME2 was bad, I pointed out that it's main plot was a diversion. The side stories that started in ME1 (Genophage, Rannoch) were handled pretty well throughout the entire trilogy. I just wished we had better main plot development in ME2 instead of a separate gig. It confirmed for me that the writers had no idea where the story was headed.

I hate what ME2 did to the main story and actually blame it for ME:A.
Imagine if ME2 was entirely about finding a solution to stopping the reapers instead of being a tangential sidequest featuring ragtag bunch of plot-superficial badasses. If this was the case, then we wouldn't have the catalyst being dumped on us in the eleventh hour along with the arbitrary destruction of the Milky Way.
It's laughable that the actual Reaper threat had to be DLC in ME2. It's like Mac realized they were forgetting something.
ME2 derailed the plot. ME:A is the result.
Caveat: I still think ME2 is objectively the best single experience in the franchise. It's just good in spite of the franchise instead of being good within it. Subjectively, ME1 is still my favourite although I give strong marks to ME3 for MP alone. Oh, and even with my strong resentment I much prefer ME2 to ME:A.

Yes, SP is good and MP is way better in gameplay than me3mp was and way more fun, for me. Wrong forum, bud. To each their own, if you can try the demo first, give it a shot and see. Ten hours is enough to get an idea. For me, it was worth the retail price to play through the SP campaign and get in a little multiplayer. However, it is nowhere near the value of the rest of the trilogy. There is nothing in the game that draws my attention for multiple playthroughs and I grow bored of the multiplayer very quickly. 6/10 Alt+F4 Load up ME3MP.

I bumped into madnek0, but the game wasn't particularly enjoyable. If we get chance to play again, I'd love to use a more Gold-appropriate kit instead of giving in to matching our BW+DAI pug buddy. I don't care for fast games and I'd rather introduce a little more challenge with an Avenger/Locust...

After playing a game with NinjaSuperiority and @boatinhovic, NS had to leave. It was a shame too, since I joined the match in progress and was pleased to see boatinhovic rocking a HSol + Claymore, same as yours truly. NS said he needed a few minutes and boatin and I pugged into the same gold match with our QFEs. Great minds think alike! I ran into burningcherry afterwards and proceeded to watch Giant (and the space bugs contained within) get bathed in flames. Fun matches all around.
