I was very much on the fence about this game, the fact it was 1st person in the hub is a massive negative for me (I get motion sick in 1st person games) but I thought if the combat and story side was really fun and engaging it would be worth it to power through the crappy hub stuff. I felt sick just on the walk from where you spawn in the fort to the javelin, but hey I knew that was going to happen but then it got even worse when I had to fly. Flight is horrible, the defaults on the sensitivity are insane and playing around with them I couldn't find a setting that made flight anything but gut wobbling. The running around on the ground shooting parts were fun though.
My initial skepticism was correct, I won't be buying this, isn't worth it for me.

Pretty good roundup of the issues seen to date from SkillUp, though he displays again the same problematic behavior I think he does in almost every game he reviews - talks about how bad this is, how awful that is, how terrible this is, etc, but since there's one thing about the game he likes, he winds up calling it a positive in the aggregate.

Ok I broke down and actually played the demo.
Wow....
Just....wow.
I just can't the fact that they try to push you TWICE before starting a mission to go public and let randos play with you because this is "a better experience in a group" tells me all I need to know.
The game is NOT balanced for Solo, you are not gonna have fun alone tho Biowate said you CAN play it alone but the reality is that what they meant is "you can play it alone BUT we are gonna make sure you are not gonna have a good time so you can give up and play it like we wanted you to"

Recently replayed ME trilogy (full of mods - great experience) and Witcher trilogy, now SWTOR, after... well, will see
Have fun with MEA - and do not forgot to install IronMan MOD - it will be like bit downgraded Anthem, but with much more story and some very interesting characters

I'm assuming it's to stop players from repeatedly playing a story mission over and over again because it has a lot of high-value targets in a short amount of time that may drop gear. That's how Diablo used to work up until D3 Reaper of Souls introduced randomized Rift dungeons and bounties. I still have PTSD from running Baal over and over for hours each day in D2 LOD. easy fix would be to nerf the loot for replays Lst's say the Anthem "story" questline consists of multiple stage. You go out in the normal world and do some stuff. No need to nerf any loot drops there. Then you encounter new enemies. No need to nerf them, you will encounter them later in normal gameplay anyway. Then you get to some unique location. Unlock, new map part content drop, fight a new (mini)boss and maybe get a unique reward. That you might want to limit to only one drop. Be carful with salvage, tho.

Have you played Jade empire? My fave Bioware game. Yes, and definitely underappreciated. But your fav? Come on. Yeah, loved the kung Fu, loved how they would shout the name of the style when they changed to it, was like a 70s kung Fu movie. Was my introduction to Bioware. Played it again recently on the one X, it looks so much better these days.

I'm still concerned about the lack of information on the story (which I suspect is because of overall lack of story, but hope I'm wrong). This weekend also brought into stark relief the shortcomings of playing the game on PC. The menu system is just... ugh.
I'm still leaning towards buying because I must have played over 30 hours with just the content we got, so even if I only play until the main campaign is done I'll probably get over 60 hours worth of entertainment out of it.

I feel much better about the game after playing the beta...i mean demo. It was fun enough for me to make the purchase. I found the flying and combat pretty good. Whether it will get old fast will depend on some kind of variety of quests, events, etc.

I've thought this from day one, but personally a Borderlands style game would've blended a lot better with what has traditional been BioWare's bread and butter (story and world building). Makes me thing Anthem is meant to be further away from a typically BioWare game than even what the positive peeps are expecting (in that regard).

I was on the fence for months, but now I'm quite certain that I won't buy Diabloframe Lite Anthem at release, no matter the price. I might reconsider after a few big content updates, but right now it's definitely not for me.
Over both the VIP and public demo I played about 8 hours, usually in small doses before going back to Warframe / Grim Dawn and some other games I'm playing at the moment. I really like looter-shooters, but technical issues completely aside, the Anthem demo began to bore me rather quickly.
The shooting wasn't that much fun. In a horrible version of "the worst of both worlds", Anthem's combat brought back things I didn't like from both ME3MP and MEAMP: -Those annoying stuns that make you stagger in place, no matter what direction the damage came from -Enemies that seem to be 100% accurate with not just every bullet, but also every shotgun pellet, no matter the distance or movement -The boring prime-detonate-wait for cooldown repetition -Bland enemies with a completely moronic AI -Dude, where is my text chat?
And then, Anthem went ahead and added some problems of its own: -Dodgy interactions with the terrain, with player bullets hitting invisible walls and enemies attacking through solid rock -Aggressive flashes and screen shakes make it impossible for me to play the game with my girlfriend -Randomly disappearing enemies -Not much to do in free play
Right, so that was the shooting, but how's the looting? Boring. All guns look like they come from the same mediocre manufacturer, and whenever I go to the weapons screen I have to mouse over all the guns to pick the one I want because they all look so samey, with no options to customize them in any way. Also, loot is completely random, so you apparently can get any item from any enemy. This eliminates a source of motivation, hunting down a specific enemy for a specific piece of gear (which of course requires said special gear and enemies to exist in the first place), instead you just have to keep playing and hope that you'll eventually get lucky. But most of the time, you get slightly different versions of things you already have, and the loot pool seems to be rather small because the duplicates come rolling in really quickly. And with them comes aforementioned boredom.
And then there's Fort Tarsis. The place I have to walk through to get to my Javelin. It's not very exciting either, and the three story quests in the demo felt like MEA side quests with better jetpacks to me.
Unless the demo hid a lot of stuff just out of sight, there doesn't seem to be that much content in Anthem. The map isn't that big. Four Javelins isn't that much. Neither is three strongholds. The loot pool seems small and unimaginative. And they worked for six years on this game.
I really wanted to like Anthem, but it really didn't want me to.

After digging into several forums, gamesites, yt channels and based on my own experience (which I wrote about in here bsn.boards.net/post/1215467/thread) - I have this feeling the game's not gonna do well or at least as expected, sales-wise. That's just not enough positive buzz. Remember several years ago, when Division or Destiny 2 were about to hit the market and you would see 20 articles a day? Yeah, Anthem sure as hell doesn't have that kind of coverage. While players and reviewers praise the aerial combat, environments and cosmetic customization, they are wary of the wonky technical performance (see www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2019-anthem-demo-performance-analysis / www.pcgamer.com/anthem-performance-and-settings/), Destiny cloning, lack of aural feedback, bulletspongy mooks, questionable endgame (see www.pcgamer.com/anthems-endgame-needs-work-but-im-still-gonna-play-it/)... Saw this exact trend before F76 launch (which I incidentally bought and had fun in, though); that game tanked hard. Hopefully Anthem does better, if only to keep BW afloat.
