Just curious what forumites take on this game is based on the limited data we have so far.

Cautiously optimistic.
What we've seen so far looks fun and the devs have said we can play the whole game solo if we are so inclined, so that's good.
But I need more information, especially about story and interactions with NPCs, before I'm sold.

Need way more information before I can say one way or the other. Really want to know how much story content there is and what it looks like...it's been heavily implied that you'll be able to make "choices" but in what manner and how will those choices affect gameplay and/or the story? Also curious as to how grind-heavy the late game gets. Ten years ago I wouldn't have minded one way or another but nowadays I don't have the time to put in dozens of hours just grinding for gear and ending up feeling like it was time well spent.

Mods can lock it if they think it's pointless. It's not a big deal.

Difficult to muster hype when all it's doing is reminding me of Destiny which (aside from being a dull grindfest) has nothing to offer in terms of story, narrative or characters. You know the reason most people play BioWare games.
I mean I hope there's something decent for the solo players on offer but that seems to be wishful thinking at this point.

Given they've shown FA concerning story, lore, dialogue, decision-making, mission types, or NPCs and have Only shown "Wheeeeeeee! We're blasting stuff in our Iron Man suits CO-OP, BABY!!!!" I see little to give a cr*p about.
Put another way, I have about as much to be excited about as I did when the "Ghost Riders in the Sky" trailer came out for MEA

Honestly sooner expected the world to end than Bioware not make their classical "hero&companions go on a journey" game...for all the changes they went this was always at the core. ( Man, the drama!) I think they could actually reach big sales numbers here, but this could easily mean the end of Bioware games( not of Bioware)

I don't think I could be less interested in yet another generic loot shooter that, knowing Bioware's history with gameplay, will be mediocre at best.
In fact, the idea that Mass Effect died so EA could have their wannabe Destiny makes me puke a bit.

Oh they may make solo content and a decent story (like in SWTOR) but the core gameplay will be targeted towards an MP experience. The problem with this is, what is a fun way to play the game in MP/Coop is a grinding mechanic for solo players. And the fun stuff for solo players, like lot's of interaction with NPCs and whatnot is just a drag for MP players. So as an SP oriented player, I would be extremely surprised if I could get anything out of this game in the end.

Yes. General consensus among my friends is that it stole the show at E3. Everyone I've talked to is hyped for it

Unsure.
Did Drew Karpyshyn work on Anthem or not? I'd heard he was back at BioWare to work on a new IP. If that new IP is Anthem, I'm interested, kind of. Storytelling is still what I think of first when I see the name BioWare.

Not an RPG.
At least BioWare has stopped using the RPG label on non-RPGs. But, given how liberally they do use the label, that they haven’t here sends a strong message that Amthem isn't for me.

Definitely on the pessimistic side. Doesn't mean I can't be persuaded to altogether buy Anthem, although it's gonna take a silver tongue or a ton of incentives to get me to buy this game at or before launch day.

Nah, not really. In saying that though I didn't much care about Andromeda, still bought it a week or two after release.

I need some lore, they shuild start a website and feed us bits of lore.
In general I don't like a grindfest, doing the same quests over and over again to get digital items. Eventually getting bored and just paying for them.
I also don't have the time for it.
And I dislike the idea that in three or four years there will be a Anthem II and all your progress just dies with the game. This is true for most games, but I like that in theory I can still play the latest Pokémon game with my Pokémon from 16 years a go. They were worth the investment at the time.

I feel like BW's history concerning MP co-op is a good thing. SP's likely to be significantly more disappointing to fans than Andromeda's though and disappointing in general. It'll just be included to appease BW fans. Graphics look great, but the world lacks character.

It's going to have to work to win me over. As a Mass Effect fan I can't help but feel a bit of resentment towards Anthem for being prioritized over Mass Effect. Also it appears that the Anthem IP was created to replace Mass Effect as the flagship series for bioware but it wasn't created with bioware fans in mind. I am not a fan of multiplayer games and this game looks like it's focus will be on cooperative multiplayer instead of telling an immersive singleplayer story. I guess we are just not a profitable enough demographic for EA.

I can't even stand people thinking destiny is an mmo. Get 8+ people in a group on a world that has 100s if random players then I'd call it an mmo.
