YongYea?....haha No, but seriously...
Yong Yea tells it as he sees it. Some, of course, are upset because his "naked facts" conflict with their world view.
Either way, the Alpha is here and bug hunting is afoot. Anthem will receive better reviews if the launch is "clean" as opposed to Andromeda's.
YongYea will color the facts however he can to get his Patreon subs...I've watched enough of his vids (more than I'd like to considering it pumps up his numbers), and seen enough inconsistencies, errors, and intentional omissions, to form my own opinion. If you want to point to him as a source of "truth", feel free...

Let's assume that you've watched 100 of his videos.
I'm sure that he thanks you for the 30-50 cents you've made him. $3-5 / 1000 1000/100 = .1 .1 * 3 = .30 .1 * 5 = .50
Wow. You've made, at most, a whole half dollar.
Keep on fighting the good fight, and not watching those videos. 'Cause they keep on pumping up his numbers.
Noble work you're doing.

Okay, so Battlenet has been giving away Destiny 2 for free, and I got it. Because free, right? And I installed and tried it out since Anthem is a "Destiny clone"
Man I quit after a couple of hours, it was so dull. Pretty. But dull. Just going around shooting everything in sight on a mission before returning to base. It would take more than occasional dialogue options to make that less monotonous

Just going around shooting everything in sight on a mission before returning to base. It would take more than occasional dialogue options to make that less monotonous Games like these don't lean on the narrative side that much; but more about the grind. Patrols, missions, adventures, and whatnot, simply serve to complete game bounties for gear/resources/currency/XP or simply get you to endgame. There's likely going to be a lot of people who simply can't get into the genre; such as yourself. Not saying its a bad thing though, and as someone who's played Destiny 1 & 2, and the Division, there are frequent times of monotony in games such as these. There's also a level of time commitment needed for games like these as well, though I'd say that Destiny has it worse in this regard. Really just boils down to whether pure gameplay can hold you over enough. Personally, I don't think the story of Anthem is going to blow anyones mind who primarily enjoys RPG's; though it'll likely be okay. But for this looter-shooter, MMO-lite genre, it has an opportunity to tell a well told story for once.

I installed and tried it out since Anthem is a "Destiny clone" Because that's how BioWare has marketed the game, right? Or just gamers looking for easy labels? I've played Destiny 1 and 2..."Anthem", apart from the genre-focus on grinding for gear, resources, weapons, etc in Free Play, looks like it plays different. Third person vs First person Needing to re-roll in Destiny to change class vs changing from Colossus to Ranger to Storm to Interceptor using the same character Destiny combat takes place on the ground and map is pretty flat vs Focus on flying in the Javelin in a multi-level map Good thing is you can place a pre-order on the digital version and try it in a demo...it you don't like it, cancel the pre-order

Sounds handy if you really want to respec. But I tend to pick a class and stick with it for my characters Okay, but what do you DO on those maps? I haven't seen enough to inspire me to even do that much.

HuH? sorry but how can you say Anthem is a Destiny clone? none of us has been able to sample the game? just because you got the game for free (Destiny) doesn't make another game from another company is the same as the free one you got, all we have to go on is the vids that have come out along with the Tweets. and that myself means I do not have a clue how the game will play when it hits the street nor do you, so pls before you judge at least wait till the game comes out.

Okay, but your whining was about it being a "Destiny Clone" and I was just pointing out how lazy that thought was...since it wasn't a top-down isometric RPG from 1998, I'd assume your lack of interest would be implied. Why you'd still think at some point it might appeal to your rather specific gaming tastes is a bigger mystery but, yet, here you are...

Others may occasionally interject but any excessive positivity about Anthem will be viewed as a derailment. Can we get back to some skepticism in here, please.

Warframe did with very little quite well. Then again, I have some doubts that Anthem will have so many variety like Warframe has now, but we'll see.

MODERATOR POST
Can we please allow a skeptical conversation to place in relative peace? I've moved two recent posts, simply to allow some unmolested skepticism to continue. Can the skeptics please have a bit of (whatever the equivalent of 'fun' is) The occasional interjection is ok, but not every third post, please.

Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit, eh? Iakus played Destiny, which Anthem is basing its gameplay design on. Iakus got bored out of his mind, and conclusion is, Anthem is going to be just as mediocre or piss poor.

I comprehend just fine, SKEP.TI.CISM noun a skeptical attitude; doubt as to the truth of something. Synonyms for skepticism, uncertainty, doubt, dubiety, skepticism, suspicion, mistrust, so my question stands.
