Much as I look forward to more of the gameplay (Even the endgame grind), I'm more interested to see how they'll handle the storytelling and the whole "Our world, your story" concept.
Looter shooters aren't exactly known for story-telling because you know... they focus more on giving dedicated players incentive (Regardless if it succeeds or not) to play beyond the story path, so I'm interested whether Bioware gonna hit the landing in terms of storytelling for Anthem.
I understand there's a lot of skepticism on Bioware given their recent lackluster efforts, but I'm still interested to see how they will handle storytelling vs giving players stuff to do beyond critical story path. Time will tell, I guess

I doubt it, there's not enough "there" there.
Whenever I start to play Borderlands, regardless of how pumped I am for the situation, I'm always left with a feeling of "meh" after a couple'a hours of playing. Even on their most recent effort, which had arguably the best storytelling of the entire series.
That's not even counting how meh I'd feel about playing Destiny or The Division.
I'd like to say I'm optimistic about BioWare's future. I'm just not.

I do think Anthem will likely provide a serviceable story, and that players will have to wait until the next Dragon Age before getting a proper Bioware story. Still curious as to what we'll be shown at Pax West.

The Skepticism thread, and the hype train thread, are threads for posting worries and enthusiasm without having that skepticism or enthusiasm mocked or ridiculed. I won’t deny the mockery charge, but I mock the sources, like muckraking videos and anything YongYea, as well as anything overly optimistic or fanboy, not the posters citing those sources, or posters writing original thoughts. I understand that the poster’s content is off limits, but I thought the sources are fair game. If I’m wrong about that, I’ll accept correction. SofaJockeyI also think skepticism about sources is fair game, but will also accept correction about that. And, without any mockery whatsoever, I’m not sure who you are virtue signaling to. I don’t think anyone else in this thread cares how I get my entertainment.

Time will tell, I guess I don't so much have "interest" as "morbid curiosity" Because I fail to see how this game at all appeals to those of us who want a good single player RPG experience. Thus far this looks mainly like "Borderlands with dialogue" but without the humor.

Which is why I brought it up. Who am I virtue signalling to? No one. Why are you liking your own posts? You're not taking inspiration from Cyberstrike, are you? Your post-to-like ration is fine, no need to worry about it.

But too much accessibility can strip away the sense of accomplishment and quickly reduce the fun factor to stale repetition. I hope that they don't give a level one Javelin the same degree of damage output and survivability as a high level because that diminishes the experience imo. Essentially my complaint of the modern state of MMOs really xD. Levelling too easy, too many rewards etc etc

If the 1st person dialogue in the Forward Command Post from the demo is anything to go buy, I personally cannot see myself as having the same RPG experience as in past Bio RPG games (DA+ME).
The in-your-face approach fails to warm me up. It's just too bad we cannot pull the camera back, as an option.

If I’m wrong about that, I’ll accept correction. SofaJockeyA good rule of thumb is that the hype and skepticism threads should mostly run with those themes. That doesn't mean that those of an opposing persuasion can't pop in occasionally and make a limited opposing sortie before leaving. But if they set up camp to argue each point to ruin the joy /or/ distaste that others are enjoying /or/ experiencing, then they are doing it too much. Any issues, by all means, do PM me.

Skepticism ( noun) : An attitude of doubt or a disposition of incredulity ( noun: the state of being unwilling or unable to believe something). From first post: A thread to share your worries, not every post has to be doom and gloom but posters are welcome to share their skepticism. We're not looking to get into fights with fanboys or girls in this thread, if they swing by direct them to the (very underused because there's not much to be hyped about) Anthem Hype train thread. Without confirming or denying my membership in any boy's or girl's club, you're saying I should post my skepticism about that out-dated video in the hype thread? Your logic escapes me. I will, however, deny any intention about fighting. I come here for the laughs, and fresh material is more entertaining that old, worn-out stuff from March. This is the unfortunate aspect of what BSN has evolved (or devolved) into over the years. Instead of having a pros and cons of Anthem thread to facilitate discussion, we get segregation according to preferences...reminiscent of high school social cliques. I guess that's to be expected from a group that seems overly thin-skinned as a whole.

Considering discourse like this, I sympathize with Bioware's decision closing their forums.
Anthem forums would have been filled with shitty personal attacks and concern trolling. Not a lot of room for nuanced discussion.

Depending on platform it’s sometimes hard to tell which post you’re liking or replying to. I’ve accidentally liked my own posts too when I meant to do so on someone else’s.

Separating the threads has a purpose. Anthem is a departure from the Bioware norm, so those who are worried can post here without raining on anyone's parade. Those who are excited can go to the hype thread and chat to others who share that excitment. It's probably a better environment for both.
Of course disagreeing on both threads is absolutely fine as long as it isn't a huge derailment, as Sofa said.
