They said that people who keep the VIP demo installed will need to update to play the open demo. Now if that includes a patch made in the last week, who knows. But it wouldn't be impossible to write a fix for the demo branch. Oh, a patch? How big? Can it be downloaded already? My internet is slow as hell. I would need to update the game asap to be able to play tomorrow evening. It's about 270MB on PC.

I didn't get far enough in the test to know if there are snipers or guns with scopes, did anyone see anything like that? Honestly, some of the combat I went through leaves me with more doubt... I went up on a hillside, and lobbed grenades down on unsuspecting AI, who mostly just stood around and didn't seem to know what to do. In another spot, I found a piece of terrain to hide behind and slowly chew away at the the armor of one of the boss units, and I couldn't seem to get shot by any of the enemy. Once the boss was down, all the subordinate units vanished, as it was the end of the mission. The skepticism is real. Snipers are for real … but at least in the demo, there is a audio cue to give you a chance to take cover and they don't fire quite as quick as the Outlaw snipers in MEAMP … more like the MEAMP outlaw snipers at launch. Of course, over time, the Anthem snipers could become just as quick and annoying as they balance the game.

I want my own sniper-rifle, with long range sights, and that zrrt-zrrt noise that the Javelin from ME3 made... that way I can kill everyone from a long ways a way, before flying in and doing some kind of melee smash on the remaining baddies. Wait, I'm supposed to be skeptical...

Wait, I'm supposed to be skeptical... I used two rare level sniper rifles in the game. Both had sniper scopes with an extended "zoom in" option - one was more traditional and the other was only one shot at a time and you had to hold the trigger down longer to give the round more damage.

You know what really gets me?
If they told me I could replay the campaign indefinitely and disconnect from the online crowd (and maybe patch in romances) I would consider buying this...
But so far....hell no

Wait, I'm supposed to be skeptical... Sorry … misunderstood. What samhain444 said. Plus, there are multiple styles … I picked one (Whirlwind) that was a bit like the Incisor in ME … used it with my Storm for ranged work. But I'm pretty sure there is a Javelin-type option … but I really didn't focus on weapons so much, was having too much fun with the powers.
But for the open demo, after logging some time with my 3rd and 4th Javelin, I'll probably settle down and check out some more of the weapons … like SRs and pistols. Oh … and shotguns and battle rifles (like the Scout). Oh, and SMGs. And cannons. Oh, and mortars and grenade launchers.
Lions and tigers and bears … oh my.

It feels like one of those games that only gets rough if you push yourself. Which is kind of like every mass effect game in SP so far. But hey my access 10 hours is coming up soon so I can test it.

I believe Ben Irving said there would be over 100 masterwork/legendary items. Then again, they're probably playing it safe. I do hope they add more variety to the weapon pool at some point. It's not like they haven't done it before with ME3 MP. These first three months are going to be really interesting.

Wait, I'm supposed to be skeptical... There is at least 2 SRs. One that shoots explosives and everyone took as SR and a more classic one that noone seemed to like. Major roadblock was ammo capacity for the exlosive SR and meh damage on the "normal" one.
They crit tho and with the high base damage + proper debuffs I guess they can be quite OK vs boss weak spots.

And with enemies insta replenishing shields SR are just shit when you slow ass reload and have to watch how shwoooop der enemy shield is at 100% suddenly.

I'm actually pretty excited as I learned from your link (and this chart) that I have 2 more demo periods left... one this weekend, and then 10 hours with the game on Feb 15th. I'm pretty stoked for all the free time i've gotten/will get with the game.

Did you play mass effect 1 on insanity without immunity or sigularity? Or mass effect 2 on insanity without importing a saved character? They were very challenging. Also the AI on anthem on hard is fine. I found the small units pushing me and flanking me when I tried to take cover. Don't let some videos quite obviously to anyone who's played the game, played on easy tell you otherwise.

For me personally I felt like Hard was a little too hard, with enemies being rather spongey. But it is a 300% damage and health increase and our weapons and gear weren't able to get up to an adequate level. I prefer to play through a multi-difficulty game as high as reasonable the first time through, but it seems like a first run through is gonna have to be on Normal.

On new game though without any powers it's brutal and fun as hell. The garrus mission when you have to go downstairs and shut the doors and the vorcha and krogan are rushing you. FML haha spent many Kate nights on that missions. Mass effect 2 is my most beaten game of all time. Think I must have completed it 15 times +.
