This is not edited nor voice modified, it does sound exactly what the Elite Luminary said especially up close.
BioWare should modify the voice file before this gets more attention and they get labeled as racists.
I mean, I've played through that mission 3 times now with solid headphones on and haven't heard that at all.

Easy difficulty? I played it only on Hard and that thing tears through your health in a second if you just pop your head in the open. I had to run from cover to cover, reviving teammates and drawing fire until they had a chance to get a few shots in. No idea how we pulled it off to be honest. Several times I was like on 5 % health, last man standing and dashing to get cover.

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. Assault rifles have STUNK in pretty well every bioware game, compared to other stuff, no doubt about it it is a trend. annoying. MEA sure, but ME3 had some solid AR's. Saber, Adas, Particle Rifle, Spitfire, Typhoon, Harrier

I kinda wish the guy with the glasses would have elaborated on how he would have liked to have seen the story elements handled. I think it would have given better insight into why he came away disappointed.

I like loot shooters. I have 2500+ hours played in Warframe and, after playing the Anthem demo, will continue to play that rather than Anthem.
My measure of quality for a loot shooter game is simple: the activities must be fun when playing solo, because that means I'm truly enjoying the gameplay. Of course it's great to have fun with friends, but almost everything is more fun with friends, so that's not a sign of good gameplay. Even a bad game can be fun with friends because you can bitch about it while you play, but playing it solo is just awful.
Unfortunately, just like all of BioWare's previous MP offerings, I didn't enjoy playing Anthem solo. It was certainly playable, but I could still tell that all boss creatures were bullet sponges balanced to be whittled down by four people's pea shooters, which made fighting them solo a drawn out chore. It was especially obvious with the reskinned remnant destroyer in the second story mission. And Anthem is aware that its solo play isn't good because it keeps badgering the player to set the game mode to public before starting an expedition.
But Anthem needs good solo play for me, because it has a free roam exploration mode. I like to explore alone at my own pace, or with friends (so we can talk about where to go and what to check out), but not with random strangers I'm not likely to communicate with and who might run off in all directions - while the game balances the number of enemies for four people.
I'm also not fond of the player damage scaling mechanic, i.e. your damage being scaled to the party leader or best equipped player in the squad. That means that I have to be playing solo or be that player in the squad if I want to judge if my build and gear are any good. And unfortunately solo play isn't that good, as already mentioned.
Such potential, wasted in such stupid ways. It's almost tragic. It could have been so good. It could have been my new favourite time sink. It looks and feels so good. But it suffers from poor design decisions that drain all the fun for me.

Well now: saw a video about the VIP Demo whose title is: What Are They Hiding? <-- link below
Two items stood out. Mark Darrah said about the demo:::: starting at 2:00 mins. appx.
1.) Balance is super different 2.) Economy is completely different.
The narrator's points are: 1) shouldn't the demo represent the actual game? 2) Why is the balance super different from the actual game? 3) Why is the economy completely different from the main game? 4) Given EA's history what are they hiding? 5) Be very careful before pre-ordering.
OK I missed Darrah's items 1. & 2. / can't remember seeing them. The points are valid. The demo is supposed to be representative and not necessarily the same. But that much different? And... this means that if you like the demo, the GOLD version may be unlikable.
Thoughts?

Do French keyboards have a "QWERTY" layout? Cos I just saw UI footage where you have to page left and right with "U" and "Y" key. And they are not rebindable.

Progression will be a lot slower in the release build, I guess.

Yes, some characters like > " are replaced with French letters, but otherwise it's the same. I'd be surprised if you can't rebind them though. Not sure why its relevant? Edmonton probably isn't using French keyboards.
The UI for Keyboard is clumsy and awkward though, since it's designed for consoles.

Try going through the Challenges with a mouse if you really want a fun time. Also I love that in the weapon list, if you bring up the filter, you literally can't click to select the Weapon Type. You have to use a directional input (S or Down). When games like this come out I always want to tell the devs to go try programming with a controller for awhile, see how well that works. I don't get how someone can sit and design something for 8, 10, 12 hours a day, while using a mouse and keyboard, and forget that people need to be able to use their product using a mouse and keyboard.

Progression will be a lot slower in the release build, I guess. - Slower progression. - Less loot. - Even harder (ie. more bullet spongey enemies) - 20 USD for skins for Javelins, 8 USD for emotes (can probably grind for COIN for most stuff though)

I only play old school rpg's with mouse and keyboard (fallout 1 and 2, planescape, bg1 and 2, nwn). I really only have old school rpg's on my pc anyway, with the exception of fallout new vegas (but I plug a controller in for that).

I feel like this game might be fun, but only for a short moment, for a few hours, before getting quickly boring. I'm not ready to spend 60 dollars just to loot and shoot. The flying seems interesting, but the combat seems really dull, with ennemies not really smart...
Also from what was said in several videos, seems like the story and dialogue options aren't impressive at all, so not seeing any interest to buy this game.
Not sure why they decided it would be best with first POV at fort Tarsis, with such design in the third person everywhere else. Make no sense.

I will plug a controller in to my PC for first person games. I vastly prefer the way controls feel with a controller on a console to any keyboard and mouse setup or even a controller setup on pc.

It probably doesn't help that devs usually design games around a controller than M+K.

It probably doesn't help that devs usually design games around a controller than M+K. I'm just weird. I actually don't like how the mouse and keyboard is so much more responsive. Controller feels like it has more weight to it. I probably just suck at setting up my mouse and keyboard parameters.
The movement though ... something about not having the analog movement of a controller when playing a fully 3d game just puts me off.

Seems like monster hunter world, where the goal is just to kill more enemies to get better armors, again and again. Not to my taste, especially when the combat seems dull if you don't take the flying into account.

One thing I'm a bit sceptical about now I've tried the interceptor, why can I solo world events just by mashing the melee button? Surly world events should be a bit harder. No way could I solo a public event on destiny when I'd just started playing and had all white gear. I know I'm playing on normal but still. Oh well still love the game.
