I think that in order to Be successful, based on the kind of game Anthem is, and their apparent plans, it has to be ‘live, for at least 2-3 years.

EA's EA Play was an investor conference. It wasn't for the gamers by the gamers. Why the F can't EA leave C&C alone? Haven't they butchered that game enough yet?

While not a fully detailed fan wiki, they did say something about all of the above. See the Twitter thread and the Mark Darrah Q&A thread. For example, the opposition is a human faction called the Dominion, who thinks they own the Anthem of Creation technology. But isn't that supposed to be the point of E3, somewhere to showcase and reveal info about upcoming games?
We shouldn't have to rely on Twitter to answer something as basic as "What is this game even about?".

I wonder if the game will have other environments or if it's going to be caves and jungles for 10 years. Really wish they had set this game in the Mass Effect universe instead.

Now wouldn't that be irony you finish the story in Anthem only to find out that the 'gods' were wiped out by the Reapers Plot twist: Anthem takes place following the Destroy Ending of ME3.
We're the descendants of an Alliance fleet stranded in a remote area of the Milky Way, due to their Relay being irreparably damaged by the pulse and severed from the rest of the Network. Damaged, out of fuel and supplies, they were forced to take refuge on an uncharted world, where they discovered unknown alien tech running amok.
(Fun scenarios like this are why the Destroy Ending is my favourite option for continuing the story in the Milky Way)

DA:I for all its repetitive environments at least had a great diversity in play areas, ancient forests, plains, deserts, mountain passes, marshes, the Deep Roads.... MEA was a step back with a little too much focus on deserts, but this really takes the cake.

As of what they have released up to this point, probably will be the first bioware game in 20ish years I don't buy on release. Maybe future previews will wow me, so far it looks like a destiny clone with restricted environments and a awkward flight mechanic.

I thought EA showing at the conference was abysmal and the entire E3 was mediocre at best. It's pretty sad when the only game I saw that I was really interested in playing was The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit . As far as what I saw in Anthem, I wasn't going to buy it before and I'm still not going to. Nothing I saw moved my buy meter to the right. It may have moved further into the negative from everything I has seen and heard now. The SP offerings would be the only thing to get me to buy it and I'm not impressed by what appears to be a limited offering.

Given that it was a perfected video for presentation, my thought was it was probably a awkward messy control system. It might end up being the things that mastering defines your game, making you one of the best or something. but I just want to play games, if the controls are fiddly I stop playing. I have plenty of other games to dive into.

I suppose if one is awkward with the controller then = difficulty flying.

Is it okay with you if I ascribe to the theory that completely new controls in a completely new game that features movement most have never experienced before may take awhile to master - or do you have some need to talk me out of it or prove otherwise or somesuch, here in the skepticism thread?

As an aside, I've spent > 1000 hours in MEA, and would not say I've mastered the controls, since I still occasionally miss a ledge.

I’m only providing a another account against the idea that the controls are particularly difficult to master. If controls are typically something you struggle with, I suppose it will probably be the same here.

Not what I meant to suggest, only that it might not be such a trial as your first post seemed to assume it would. Well - you set out to oppose it, having used the word "opposite". In situations like this, try reversing positions and seeing if your statements and the other person's are reasonable. Suppose Heimdall had said, "I heard a reviewer say that the damage numbers and combo tags are too large and distracting." You read this and recall that you had heard three reviewers say, "They damage numbers and combos are awesome cool!" Your choices are: 1. Say nothing and let people assume that the one reviewers' opinion is the only one expressed so far, leaving the impression that the combos tags and numbers are distracting to all reviewers, or at least, they made no comment on it. 2. Reply that you heard other opinions that are the complete reverse of what that one reviewer said. (BTW: in context, "opposite" is used in reference to the reviewer opinion, not to the intent of the reply.) Thereby letting other readers know there is a diversity of opinions on that topic. Which would you choose @pasquale?
