That is true. But if there's problems now and problems later it will be like I guess we know why the first demo was for the huge fans who are the most forgiving of Bioware's slip ups And up to 3 friends ... I can't even get the Anthem website to work to get the friend passes.

Sigh. The same weapon balance issues at launch in MEA are present in Anthem for the demo. Assault Rifles are piss weak and feel like shit. Single shot rifles, shotguns and hand cannons, on the other hand, feel great.

Hm... So, has anyone discovered what the issues are all about? 1) lack of sufficient servers? 2) ORIGINS issues? 3) Game bug issues? 4) A combination of the above?

Still can't get into a mission. Was able to get to mission select twice and then infinite loading screens each time. Turned off playstation.
Anthem's defective website finally lets me log in but says I don't have access to the VIP demo so I can't get friend codes.
Thanks for taking my pre-order money and not living up to your end of the deal Bioware. Thanks very much.

Hope the kinks will be worked out for my 10 hours of origin access play. It’s how I’ll decide if I am getting it or not.

A friend gifted us keys but since I still have to download the game for 16 more hours I won't get to play this weekend. I wasn't expecting a VIP key so I only started the download on my slow ass connection tonight.
Oh well. Looks like I'm not missing anything anyway. Boyfriend and his buddy went ahead, running into the same issues. When they finally got in, loading screens everywhere. Buddy lost his patience and quit the game after 15min. Wants to wait for the final version, hoping it's more stable. But his first impression wasn't much to his liking. Boyfriend stuck around some, checked out the static hub. Then quit after infinite loading screen when selecting a mission.
Only one javelin to test, is that correct?? That's disappointing...
Reception online seems very mixed. Combat not impressive (it never was in Bioware games, I'm not surprised). Very Destiny-like after all but no actual competition? I was hoping for a better first impression. I want this game to be successful because I want DA4. I hope YT is just being its usual negative self. This game needs to sell!

It’s looking like an interaction between the game, the EA user account services, and the VIP access confirmation. If the game failed to connect or authenticate, it floods those EA services with reconnect requests or errors. Basically the game is ddosing EA. Which is why other EA online games and services unrelated to Anthem are impacted. Then if the game itself crashes or hangs, it starts the process all over again.

This will hurt pre-order sales. I haven't been able to get into a mission. I have made it into Tarsis 3 times though. The Anthem website still says I don't have access to VIP demo so it won't give me friend pass codes.
I actually pre-ordered. There are loads of people playing that didn't even pre order. This is a good Bioware kicking loyal fans in the nether regions situation and it is not a good way to make a solid impression for prospective buyers.

So many people have said the same thing "It feels like destiny." LOL I knew it was going to be a destiny clone. And the people who bought a "VIP" slot, I hope you get an extension on your demo play time. Because it's crazy a lot of you have already paid the full price for this game and can't play.

I just watched about 50 miins of live stream video of the VIP demo with three guys.
To sum up, their chatter said: 1) Their load out stank. then again, how could they know what the optimal loadout was supposed to be? 2) They didn't know what to do or how to "do it".... just kept plugging away
It was "shoot fly run", "run fly shoot" and "fly run shoot". Thirty mins into it I got bored..... maybe it was all that shooting getting nowhere. But really, are the missions that long?
No clue their chosen difficulty...

I watched for about 2 hours AngryJoe stream on Twitch while doing something else. It does look quite bad as apparently, Anthem completely inherited at least some of the worst MEA bugs, specifically including silent crashes, infinite connection screen, end of mission disconnects with loss of everything, and infamous sound glitch. There are also quite a few graphic glitches. Generally, it seems to be a remastered MEA in terms of combat but without cover, even more verticality and potentially longer hovering. Bosses seem to rather resemble DAI dragons in terms of how much damage they can absorb. At least dragons were somewhat exciting in the beginning. Some wildlife occasionally simply disappears and some enemies do not spawn correctly or get stuck in terrain, well, similar to another infamously buggy DAIMP.
I'm not saying that nobody will or should like it. But it might be a good idea to wait for quite some time and see what is going to happen.

I've played a bit.
I have to admit: looks STUNNING. It really reminds me Andromeda with IronMan MOD, it's just improved (in some ways). But as i predicted this is not the game for me: bring 6 of this, 10 of that, been just flying around and shooting. Shooting and flying. Around hour later i was just bored with this shooting but didn't find anything interesting to do so thank you bye, uninstalled.
Many people will like it, that's for sure - but i prefer to comeback to SWTOR, where is a lot of story i prefer.
Happy gaming guys.
