I can't believe there is dumb shit like this in this game. i.imgur.com/EGbFxck.jpg"99+" It knows how much I have because it displays the full amount (400 some-odd) on the actual crafting screen. But "99+" here. Unbelievable. You don't want to have to do a double check to find out how much you really have?

Need to go through ten minutes of loading screens to check your mats because bioware couldn't adjust the font size for three digits on time. Lolololololol.

Anthem's UI designer was like "sorry Mark but when I tried to enter three digits there something went all screwy so we can only do two" i.imgur.com/RgLhhlf.jpg"But...you put the plus mark there?" "Yeah I dunno. Shit's weird."

"Yeah I dunno. Shit's weird." I hate UX that lies about numbers ... so that's pretty bad. BUT, how many are consumed when you craft an item? If it's 1, or a very small number such that you're never going to get close to spending 99, let alone 400, it's less bad. The UX is telling you that you have more than you ever need to worry about, 400 might as well be 10 million, it wouldn't make any material difference. If you CAN make use of 400, and the difference between 99 and 400 is material, it's super bad.

angryjoe has put up his rant I mean...poor guy seems heartbroken Even when Angry Joe's reviews generally align with my own opinions I can't stand his dumb ass. He's just a low intelligence, low research buffoon. It took 2 minutes for me to realize the chests in Freeplay were just a chance to appear and another couple minutes of searching reddit to see other people confirming that. "THE CHEST IS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE UGH". I mean, come on dude, use your noggin. Any time he lands on the correct side it's by accident.

EA probably just had to come up with a way to connect players somehow, so they can see each other, show off their loot and such. Hence we got this weird and unnatural multiplayer campaign design. I want a way to show off my loot, please 😀 Because right now you can't. You have to be the Anthem's supreme gear guru just to figure out the weapon type a teammate is using. But you won't be able to tell if it's white crap or Epic one. And you can't see what gear any teammate is using. All you can check is the gear points, but I bet many players don't even know how to do that because you have to go through several menu clicks.

angryjoe has put up his rant I mean...poor guy seems heartbroken I would've picked up smoking again in that situation. So curious for a good in depth story about Anthem's development. Let's hope Jason Schreier writes it for Kotaku or his new book. My impression is that BioWare had to make something online focused after ME3, in order to still be able to create their heart projects on the side. First they came up with Shadow Realms, which is more D&D and BioWare'ish. Then Destiny released and EA told them to stop Shadow Realms and make a loot shooter.

This is coming from someone who worked with him back in the Blistered Thumbs days...he means well but hes frankly an idiot and videos like that are part of the problem we have with sensationalizing opinions, no matter how dressed up or crude they are.

10 or so hours left until we can read user reviews and feel validated about our scepticism Hope Bioware uses this as a learning experience and fucks off where it belongs.

10 or so hours left until we can read user reviews and feel validated about our scepticism Hope Bioware uses this as a learning experience and fucks off where it belongs. Truth be told, the current Anthem is close to what I was expecting it to be ever since the E3 trailer. I actually thought the story will be just a bit better, but not by much. My hopes got higher when I saw that one cutscene early in the game and thought the game will offer more of that (like quality cutscenes often and all the way), but, well... Expected the flying to be just a bit better too. It still could be. Tarsis was dissapointing. I fully expected the open map to be as static and monotonous as it is, but I thought they will give more dynamic to the fort. As for gunplay, items and weapons, it's as I was expecting from developers that are not famous for such gameplay. So I was thinking I will get an 8 game, but got a 7.5 (while you do the story) and a 7 when all you are left with is the grind. Pretty close to my expectations. If I actually thought this game will be like the E3 trailer with Titanfall 2 quality story and amazing gameplay, I would be rating it as a bloody pathetic 4 right now (that's how far it would be from the imaginary 10 I would have wanted 😁).

I played both the demo's and initially had the same feeling about the combat, but once I realized it was exactly how the ME combat is, I took it for what it's worth and really enjoyed it after that. Most of the combat thankfully is the abilities since they're available so quickly after using them. I can't wait for this Friday. Crackdown 3 will have to go on the back burner for a bit. If it plays like ME but with less abilities, less enemies and they added flight. I’d rather just play ME. It’s a worse MEmp but it’s new isn’t really a selling point for me when I already have MEmp. Did you play the open beta though?

The combat is like MEA with less fun abilities and more "grind" to kill the enemies
I'm sorry but the way I fight as a vanguard is much MUCH more enjoyable than Anthem
Also, you know. In MEA I can replay the campaign any time I want and I am not forced into stupid grind missions.
Now that I think of it...it makes sense now how one of the devs said "why would you want to replay anthem's campaign?" ...because the campaign is a fucking chore not something that is a selling point of the game

They never tried to promote the campaign. Like at all. Every question about it was avoided with "we got shiny Javelins that fly". And I wondered why they picked the Matthias missions to show for the demo. Now I know why. They are just about the only ones with coherent story, cutscenes and a sense of something really changing for a NPC.

From all I heard before the VIP demo they were saying not to expect Bioware story, romance, companions, etc. And they never showed any story bits before the demo. So to me that pretty much meant it will be short and shallow. Up to a certain point I was hoping they will introduce Bioware story to looter shooters like they did to the MMO formula with SWTOR. But with TOR they were hyping the story from day 1. When the Anthem story was not even talked about as a major point and not even shown, I stopped hoping and knew what was coming.
