I said this in another thread, but needs to be said here: I'm sold on the co-op action first, story second, pre-release hype approach. I don't mind romances getting axed, no AI companions, max 2 dialogue options -- if any, etc., etc. I don't mind them keeping story and character details under wraps to distance Anthem from ME and DA. I've drunk the Koolaid! Any story and character details from here on out are icing on the cake for me. Not that this is any kind of major sea change or anything. I enjoyed Destiny 1 when I played it, and Anthem looks like the same sort of fun. I'm sold (as ever from bioware) on the action RPG scifi story combination.
Also, the way they're presenting it, it looks to me like they have a clear vision for the game, and it was designed with a focus. That is really important. That is why I'm hyped.
Also. the colossus's orbital bombardment nuke fires up the ol' saliva glands.
Me too. I'm already certain I'll get my money's worth from the gameplay alone. Bio just needs to manage a tight, interesting narrative woven throughout...and I think they will because MEA's minimalist approach to storytelling did them no favors in the eyes of their playerbase. They've got way too much riding on this venture to "half-ass" it. My hope is that it is wildly successful so it pressures other developers to include something beyond the 3-5 hour superficial single player story tacked on...not to mention eliminating the play-to-win or RNG store BS that's become commonplace.

You forgot the biggest reason: IT'S A CO-OP GAME BY DESIGN!How else are your friends supposed to bug you about joining a mission, while you're trying to spend some me time collecting elfroot? And really, are any of the reasons OP "opinionated" about controversial? Seems like common sense to me. Not sure why this is even worthy of discussion. But let me add one more opinion/speculation that's actually pretty well founded in historical Bioware fact: online allows the studio to collect analytics on what players are doing and not doing. There's no point in having the ability to fast patch and tweak stuff if you don't have the data needed to know what needs tweaking and why.And we know damned well that they cannot rely on concise fan feedback. "Game sucks! Reason due to greedy EA SOB's and Bioware being a bunch of lazy devs."

I feel like, besides her link to the critical path, she could be an alternative voice for the pilots' Cypher. Owen asks "who gets Cypher duty" and she replies with "the chair is all yours". Which means she probably does Cypher duty as well. So, am I the only one who sees some Twi'lek in Faye? Now that you mentioned it...damn, now you gave haters ammunition. "Cheap EA and lazy devs reusing assets."

Mysterious creators that have disappeared leaving strange structures behind, runes you need to collect...anyone else get MEA vibes from that? Then DA with the Gods who have abandoned us and the Wyverns? I was hoping Anthem would be a little more removed from the other franchises. Honestly, the more I see, the more I wonder if Anthem is Proto-Thedas. There's a lot of interesting parallels between the two. Like something set in an early age of the world. It would have to be really distant past....or how about the far distant future? Those damned Magisters really made a mess of things. I fully expect a DA and/or ME Easter egg or two...which will be cited as "proof."

Well if we're being honest Bio has never been particularly original with their tropes. If they manage to create rising tension with a solid beginning, middle, and end with interesting characters I'll be happy...and it'll be a major step forward from MEA in any event.

She looks alright. Can't say I'm a fan of the headdress. Must be Bioware's answer for dealing with long hair. You might be on to something. Or she could be like Vivian without her beloved hats, bald I was definitely getting a Vivian vibe from that...though (thankfully) her personality doesn't appear to be anything like Viv.

Take it out of context why don't you. Don't forget what we're seeing is a Stronghold which is late/end game content so by this point we would have had Haluk's backstory and know why he acts the way he does. We have no context as to why at this point. And if it's like past Bioware games we'll have some say in how Haluk develops. It's very unfair to judge him by what we seen in end game content. You're overreacting. I don’t care why he acts that way. I don’t like people who delight in the suffering and misfortune of others, strange as that may be. So no, I’m not overreacting. So don't play it.

And I'm honestly not trying to be mean. A point to make really clear to dropzofcrimzon and others is that this forum exists to share different perspectives. Whilst DoC's position may appear extreme, I think its a perspective sincerely held by some BioWare fans, furthermore, it's ok to express it, so long as it doesn't reach the level of 'opinion spam'. Many forms of social media such as YouTube and Twitter, often by virtue of their structure have lost the ability to have a good debate. We seem to no longer have the facility to string a discussion together, just throw soundbites at each other. So thank you for sharing dropzofcrimzon , genuinely. I'm rather on the cynical side of the spectrum in a people-filled room, but my red button is closed mindedness. I would not classify such repeat vocal forum annoyances as bioware fans.
First of all, they like(d) only 1 or 2 bioware games. Bioware just happened to make a game that fit their personal views. You're not a developr fan if you like only one game. For example. I think MGSV was pretty likeable, but am by no means a hideo kojima fan. Second, fans give constructive criticism. Repeatedly pointing out unfounded opinionated flaws is nowhere near constructive criticism.
Now, I get your viewpoint as moderator that everyone should be able to express their opinion and in no shape or size support censorship. However, as a forum user, I would also like to point out that this type of discussions degrades the overall forum experience.
I would add that if the same one person feels the need to "troll" anyone who may express optimism for a coming game they're contributing little of value to the discussion. I'm not at all in favor of banning people from forums unless they're just being nasty, but I think if there were tools like giving people a "timeout" from a thread for 24 hours, they might take the hint and learn how to engage these discussions properly. Of course, it takes two to tango and I've found the best way to deal with certain types is simply not to engage them. I hate seeing threads get locked because of one or two people taking it over.

And David Gaider once talked about the idea of 'investment'. Though seemingly illogical, it is possible to be deeply invested in a company / brand / hobby even if you don't like what has been done for a decade or more... Why does 'America' spring to mind as an example? 'Cause it's our birthday today?

and my point was "were those complaints not warranted in Andromeda's case" Also, again look at halo 5's multiplayer....yes a SMALL portion of fans complained yet the vast majority vocally says it is pretty much the best since halo 3. I never said the complaints were unwarranted, but what I am saying is BioWare tried in the past to address the mob mentality of the internet and its complaints when designing Andromeda from all the criticisms from Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 and it wasn't done the way people wanted if anything there were more complaints about the game. I expect that if BioWare went back and tried to address the complaints with Andromeda it would be received any better, for people want everything in a BioWare game catered to them and if it isn't it becomes a backlash that people pile onto. Do I think BioWare will work on facial animations in the next game? Of course, but I also think its going to come at a cost that is going to piss people off. Such as less dialogue which people complained a lot about in Mass Effect 3 with having very few neutral options. How about less romances in the game so they can spend the animation time better, well with Andromeda there were the groups that were upset about male/male romance count for two instead of three. Now I can see some of the argument, but still there were complaints about the numbers and how they weren't all equal. Better yet people keep asking for the ability to play another race do you think they will take the time for all those additional animation and QA time when they are spending so much time on facial animations. Now with all that said there will be also people that don't care about those changes, but it seems since EA took over people are looking for a reason to be pissed at BioWare. That is my point, I don't think addressing the complaints is going to make people happy for there is going to be something done while addressing those that will cause more complaints. Then BioWare will address those in the next game while sacrificing more. Which is exactly why Bioware should ignore the more ridiculous "fans" whose demands for more and more of the peripheral BS is impeding their ability to create a complete experience. This is partly why I'm just glad they killed romances for Anthem. It's such a huge resource drain...and no matter how much content they provide "fans" still b*tch and whine.

Why would BioWare market a game to people when the game isn't designed with them in mind? BioWare have their audience for this game, and it isn't anybody that have previously bought a BioWare game. It's a choice they've made, personally I don't see Anthem succeeding in a world with all the other shooter games out there. Hell, I don't even see these new CoDs and Battlefields succeeding with the way Fortnite is pushing forward. But that's the problem developers have when they don't have an original idea and they try to copy a game that's already come out. The original and creative developers are going to push the limits, the lame ones are going to get stuck in the mud. That's Anthem. A game that may have done well in 2016 but in 2019, it's dead.Really? That's 100% certainty? Maybe. It's just as likely to be the next "great" thing. More likely, it'll be a moderately successful game that satisfies a niche. It's hard to prognosticate what is going to catch on with gamers at large. Skyrim for all its success wasn't particularly innovative or original...it was the right thing at the right time. DAI tried to copy that success (and was infinitely better imo) but cannot touch Skyrim in gaming lore. The gaming community are a fickle lot. I know Bioware/EA want to sell 10 million copies (who wouldn't?) but if it manages 5 million it's still successful. I think it will hit that mark.

It is not a game for you. Get over it, move along, nothing to see here. I can only assume the objective is to get another thread of otherwise reasonable discussion locked. Too bad we cannot lock out individuals from a thread who are more interested in instigating than discussing the pros and cons of the topic at hand. I've seen too many good threads killed over the years because of one or two people. A few bad apples...and all that.

Who are these old Bioware RPG fans you speak of? People like me who cut their teeth on KOTOR? Or the general Bioware fan who has played through the many games and for the most part enjoyed them all? I can tell you one thing...every iteration has had its group of doomsayers, pre- and/or post-launch...prophesying the demise of Bioware, and yet they are the largest they've ever been. This game will be no different. Bioware has continued to evolve...and as a longtime fan it's something I appreciate despite at times being frustrated by some of the missteps. The gaming landscape is changing to accommodate a generation that is all about connectivity. Maybe these old Bioware RPG fans should try to evolve themselves...otherwise they may find themselves with no options at all. I would speculate that for most it boils down to being afraid of playing in a public forum where they may "embarrass" themselves with their gameplay. The fans of Shattered Steel, obviously! <iframe width="23.960000000000036" height="6.699999999999989" style="position: absolute; width: 23.960000000000036px; height: 6.699999999999989px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none;left: 15px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_92255169" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="23.960000000000036" height="6.699999999999989" style="position: absolute; width: 23.96px; height: 6.7px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1138px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_27977160" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="23.960000000000036" height="6.699999999999989" style="position: absolute; width: 23.96px; height: 6.7px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 15px; top: 272px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_21262807" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="23.960000000000036" height="6.699999999999989" style="position: absolute; width: 23.96px; height: 6.7px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1138px; top: 272px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_61551480" scrolling="no"></iframe> I had to look that up to understand the reference...but lol.

it's a game, honestly, I've been waiting to make my whole career. I really love this game and I love the subject matter that were dealing with and the setting and the characters yeah, I'm in love.
This is the type of statement that gets me excited. Passion and vision is a great recipe for creating something exceptional. Hopefully that is shared among the team.

Who are these old Bioware RPG fans you speak of? People like me who cut their teeth on KOTOR? Or the general Bioware fan who has played through the many games and for the most part enjoyed them all? I can tell you one thing...every iteration has had its group of doomsayers, pre- and/or post-launch...prophesying the demise of Bioware, and yet they are the largest they've ever been. This game will be no different. Bioware has continued to evolve...and as a longtime fan it's something I appreciate despite at times being frustrated by some of the missteps. The gaming landscape is changing to accommodate a generation that is all about connectivity. Maybe these old Bioware RPG fans should try to evolve themselves...otherwise they may find themselves with no options at all. I would speculate that for most it boils down to being afraid of playing in a public forum where they may "embarrass" themselves with their gameplay.

Do we know if we'll be able to name our different Javelins? I was thinking of going with Galahad, Launcelot, Percivale, and Merlin for the Ranger, Colossus, Interceptor, and Storm, respectively. Maybe we can name our setups/loadouts, at least? I kind of want to be able to have a unique identifier...outside Helios969...to go with my "unique" look and build. Though you raise a good question. I certainly hope they will have quick swap profiles for each Javelin so we can easily setup for certain mission parameters. I could see that sinking quickly into tedium otherwise.

If they add it yöu aren't förced tö play it. But söme peöple may want tö play it. Why nöt at least have the optiön? Fair point, but wouldn't having it lead to balance issues for PvE? Only if they added specialty gear for such...which I’d be against

My hope is that there is enough flexibility with attachments and loadouts that people can create a defacto healer or melee class if they're so inclined...as opposed to shoehorning people into specified roles. I think it creates an overall more satisfying experience for players when they can tweak their builds to accommodate their preferred playstyle. Frankly, I think healing and support mechanisms should be a party-wide responsibility rather than placed on one person. It's more logical assuming combat in these games is to be grounded in any sort of reality. On a real-world battlefield you'll often find combat medics, but that doesn't eliminate the individual soldier's responsibility to apply a field dressing or tourniquet when necessary.

It’s actually hilarious that many people want Bioware to close. NOT many people. Just a very vocal, very selfserving minority. Pretty sad those few. I can't have what I want so no one should! Never mind the larger ramifications of desiring a game or company to fail...like the number of employees that could suffer downsizing as a result...likely good people doing good work who have little control over the content in the game. Some people just don't have a grasp on the bigger picture.

Generally, I would say no. Maybe down the line they could add an arena for people inclined to test one another...but only after sufficient expanded content has been added to the story and missions. I think racing/obstacle course(s) with best times displayed for each Javelin type could be a fun addition...if done well.
