I'm somewhat disappointed in EA not extending the VIP demo. But, that's EA.
More important is next week's open demo. I'd be much surprised if Bio + EA is working hard to fix problems in a demo that lasts what? 10 hours? The open demo lasts just as long as the VIP demo did.

No mention of infinite loading screen causing the game to be unplayable 70-75% of the time.

Well, having played the demo for a couple of hours (without many technical issues, so that actually worked fairly well for me) I feel like both my fears and hopes about Anthem have been reinforced a lot. My specific feedback and criticism is here but I guess the TL,DR is that I think the gameplay is fun (if a bit repetitive already) and works and the world is beautiful (if also a bit repetitive already) but all the aspects that have to do with story seem to have very similar problems than recent BioWare games had (plus a few more) and I am doubtful that this will change at least at launch. I guess if you are looking for a looter TPS for the gameplay, you might just be in for a treat, if you are looking for a BioWare experience with additional coop gameplay, I'd remain very skeptical.

One of the most interesting points is that Bioware doesn't want to share what the economy of the game will look like. That's got a few people concerned.

The only controversy in this thread is that the BioWare Faith Militant won't just let us have one thread to our damn selves. Not every criticism, fair or unfair, needs to be argued against. BW will be ok, they really will, if someone says something mean about Anthem!

BW will be ok, they really will, if someone says something mean about Anthem! Disagree. It is good to be challenged. I personally feel like many of my overly positive stances have been successfully challenged by both you and river on these forums. I have disagreed with you plenty but I am thankful for the disagreements. I feel like it's been real civil. I appreciate having what I believe in or what I am enamored with challenged. It feels healthy.

This won’t effect me because I’ll likely mostly solo but I’d think different flight speeds/distances would get super irritating as a group. Like slow driver in the passing lane irritating.

But even without that there are logical issues with high prices on items. I mean yeah great you are loaded or a spendthrift good for you. But if you drop a price of $20 for a cosmetic that usually indicates what a royal pain in the ass it will be to earn things in game. Such a frickin huge pain in the ass they think someone will spend $20 to avoid it for a cosmetic. Like mea was stupid easy to gain gear in comparison pain in the ass. That seems to be a legitimate complaint for the non millionaires in the community.

Some people don't want them in any game except free to plays, period. I don't agree with that stance but I certainly don't want it silenced and I enjoy a good back and forth about it with everyone.

I'm Impressed that Sofa still allows this thread to be open.. I don't think a moderator can suddenly decide to close the second most popular thread of a subforum and I'm absolutely sure he does not want to as this is the only entertaining thread here and arguably one of the most entertaining thread on the whole BSN . And one can argue that the twitter thread is rather meaningless as it is a copy-paste of something one can read elsewhere.

They've been very clear from day 1 that this isn't a standard BioWare game and that anyone who is expecting such from Anthem is setting themselves up for disappointment. Gameplay-wise, yes, they have made that very clear. However, they also kept saying that the story aspect will still remain strong and in the vain of older BW games. They did imply that Anthem would sort of give us the best of both worlds (see e.g. majesticjazz's link).
All I wanted to say is that, from what I could glimpse in the demo, this has not really been achieved. Yes, both aspects, the coop looter shooter gameplay and the story seem to be there but they also seem heavily disjointed and just don't seem to fit together very well. If this remains the case in the full game, we'll have to see, but IMHO, the demo does not bode well in that regard.
