Oh damn, I forgot all about Denuvo. With Steam being so prominent I've become quite use to playing PC games without intrusive DRM. It's like taking a very unwelcome trip to the past Well, when Anthem goes Free-to-play after several months we may get rid of Denuvo.

Bah, EA hit the jackpot with Apex Legends, a goose laying golden eggs. Do they even need Anthem now? I would imagine the support stopping after a few months because it isn't profitable to upkeep the game, and subsequently scrapping Bioware entirely. Honestly I just wish they would scrap the horrid FB3 engine that makes creating RPGs an impossible task... I'm glad that I never preorder games and it seems this game doesn't deserve to get bought at launch (or ever) with repetitive content, more loading screens than play-time, shallow loot system, and from what I heard a short meh- story.

So i watch this wee guy normally for Division content, turns out he tried Anthem Edit: The video is full of spoilers oh wow Just WOW I mean sure the guy is a player who would just not enjoy a bioware game to begin with but... Remind me again how is THIS supposed to feel like a proper bioware game again? WTF???? Also, can someone explain to me what the "choice and consequences" in for Tarsis are? How they differ from one another? Or is it just the reflection of shit happening in the missions for everyone which then result in characters acting accordingly in for Tarsis (like an NPC dies and therefore he is not there anymore)?

I went into Anthem with an open mind. It’s a game I wanted to succeed from a studio I’ve always been fond of. Unfortunately, it’s everything everyone feared at reveal. It’s a hollow experience that’s been designed to appeal to the widest market possible while squeezing more money out of those who are hooked in by its doggy treat design. www.vg247.com/2019/02/18/anthem-review/

Uh-oh. Big outlets with bad reviews while players can still cancel their pre-orders and just play Apex Legends instead. EA and BioWare now really have to put their hopes in zombie gamers that just want to grind all day and for some reason rather do it in Anthem than The Division 2 or Destiny 2. But those gamers also aren't happy, because of long loading screens and a lack of numbers/stats to minmax over in the Forge.
Here's hoping EA won't hold onto the Mass Effect IP after they close down BioWare later this year.

Also, can someone explain to me what the "choice and consequences" in for Tarsis are? How they differ from one another? Or is it just the reflection of shit happening in the missions for everyone which then result in characters acting accordingly in for Tarsis (like an NPC dies and therefore he is not there anymore)? Nothing you choose in Tarsis has an impact on the way the story unfolds. The "choice and consequences" is just how some dialogue plays out. Like you give advice to a NPC, then the next time you visit you'll get to hear how things went depending on your advice. That's it.

Anthem is a bit underwhelming. The worst part is the loading screens. There are far too many and it takes forever just to get to the good parts of the game.
It feels like you spend 35% of your time in load screens, 35% of your time walking around Fort Tarsis and around 30% of your time actually playing the game.
Hope they can do something, but the game does not flow well at all.

I hear conflicting things about sound bug. Is it still in?
Also the loading screens: In Freeplay, too? I mean when you just fly around? Wasn't this when ppl played story and last one needed to load in to the final instance.
I mean: Can people actually play each in a different corner of map by themselves in Freeplay?

Wasn't this when ppl played story and last one needed to load in to the final instance. I mean: Can people actually play each in a different corner of map by themselves in Freeplay? I don't know how other people are reporting the sound bug but 3 times in my 20-ish hours I've had the sound cut out completely from the game and it kills all sound from my PC (every device and program) until I quit the game. Loading screens are in Freeplay - load to get out into the map, load to zone in/out of every small "side dungeon" on the map. Load if you go too far from map boundary. Load if you die and respawn. Yes, you can fuck off to a corner of the map and not be bothered by the other 3 players at all.

Some character arcs will go differently based on what options you pick. For example, you can convince someone to stay at Fort Tarsis or you can encourage them to take up a job somewhere else. Nothing mindblowing but it's something.
They're all rando NPCs so it doesn't affect the main plot

Yes, the audio bug is still around. It struck me twice while playing. Also, yes, you can pretty much do your own thing on FP, what has its ups and downs. This game could use a ping system to request aid, especially when engaging in world events or facing Titans.
