PC Gamer review-in-progress: If you can't tell, I'm not enjoying my time with Anthem. The combo system is a clever innovation that rewards teamwork and aggressive but smart use of my javelin's abilities, but that's about the only worthwhile thing I like about Anthem aside from it being gorgeous. I prefer my BioWare games to be ugly on the outside and beautiful on the inside. Hopefully the story takes a sudden turn that sparks my interest and makes all these characters and bits of lore matter, because there are better RPG shooters I could be playing instead. www.pcgamer.com/anthem-review/

As someone who looks at Anthem in a more positive light like the two of you, it's honestly infuriating to see you shit-talking people who are skeptical and feel underwhelmed by the game. If that's all you have to say, you might as well post on the hype thread. It's there for a reason, after all. Shockingly, this is "The Anthem Skepticim Thread".
If you don't like what some people wrote here, go to "The Anthem Hype Train".
There is a reason why we are posting here not there, you should do the same and everyone will be happy.
Please re-read my post. You will notice I was defending you guys. However, there's every probability I'm probably the one misinterpreting here, to which I apologize if that's the case.

It's not the first game to have loot limits. There's always a limit to how much you can carry before having to return to base (this applies to Destiny, The Division, MHW, Borderlands, etc). To me, I would think the bigger issue is that you only are allowed 20 slots. Considering the fact that you can't dismantle until returning back to Fort Tarsis, and that the game drops a lot of items on you fairly regularly, 20 is not enough if you're really grinding.
Nice to know the number of "bag" slots are insufficient and is unsurprising to me. It's a game design to discourage grinding and buy the vanity items, imo.

From Gamespot early review: "After several hours with Anthem, I can't say I'm particularly interested in it yet. I've completed some missions, upgraded my loadout, and gone on some more missions, but I'm not yet invested in anything I'm doing. I will, of course, keep playing, and I'll be posting a full review in the coming days. There's just nothing here so far that's driving me forward. I'm curious, but only to see if my first impression--that this is a somewhat generic, Destiny-like experience--will be proven wrong." www.gamespot.com/articles/anthem-early-review-impressions/1100-6465062/#comments-block-33452340

Ehh I'm bout an hour and a half I to trial and I just got on Assassin's Creed Odyssey now.
Game looks great!👍 Of course I knew it would, it even feels smooth on a controller.
However gameplay is already getting boring after 2 betas and the current trial running. That'll be an issue when it comes to the games longevity as it's lacking on story as is and I doubt it'll be a long story at that. Furthermore the glorious fort tarsis is dead quiet and uninteresting that I can't even take the time to explore. I've seen the E3 reveal comparisons to what we have now a days wow, way to get lazy Bioware 👍.
They really need to add onto the abilities a jav can use, 3 is a horrid and it's just restricting you, this'll contribute to dull ass gameplay. The weapons aren't much different from each other as in all rifles are essentially the same but with a different color, sounds familiar to me for some reason🤔
The questing is also GOING to be repetitive by the looks of it, how can you put 7 years in a game for multiple fetch quests BS? Again, pure laziness on biowares part.

Yeah … let's not troll either thread. There are fine discussions going on, both here and in the hype thread … I enjoy reading both. We can save the back and forth debate for Anthem threads that are not the Hype or Skeptic threads. If we only had a generic Anthem thread, it would be different … and a back and forth debate would be entirely appropriate. But we've made spaces for both camps, please respect that. Thank you.

I didn't believe any reviews of any game, positive or negative, including all of Mass Effect, in the first month after release.

No, my fault.
Been having already one very shitty discussion regarding Anthem somewhere else and my nerves got the better of me.
I am still happy with my other BW games and i think i will focus on playing them instead of discussing Anthem. Reviews will be out soon, people will do whatever they want - lovers will love, haters will hate - but i think soon there will be time and enough space for a honest discussion, cause - just in my opinion - they didn't did well.

PC Gamer review-in-progress: If you can't tell, I'm not enjoying my time with Anthem. The combo system is a clever innovation that rewards teamwork and aggressive but smart use of my javelin's abilities, but that's about the only worthwhile thing I like about Anthem aside from it being gorgeous. I prefer my BioWare games to be ugly on the outside and beautiful on the inside. Hopefully the story takes a sudden turn that sparks my interest and makes all these characters and bits of lore matter, because there are better RPG shooters I could be playing instead. www.pcgamer.com/anthem-review/
Mannequins in lifeless markets, Bazaars and Hubs are a Bio staple. It;s one of many things the studio is a master of which another is scattering the quest/contract givers all over the place. Too bad there is no quick path to them.... and funny too that Bio never mentioned these warts or done something about them.

ALL of them You think you will be allowed to skip? Get back to the grind! It's just a chore, can be done in a few hours, but feels completely detached from the main story. And I reached a part further in the main story where I think I will have to go to Freeplay again and search for a very rare crafting material. Bleh, I hope it's not just another RNG crap.

Bioware are really kind of bad at designing towns and they just shouldn't attempt to do cities.
And the NPC's ... they just seem to do meaningless things like gesticulate for no reason. Why don't the people at the food stalls buy some food, eat it, and then walk off and despawn when out of sight of the player? Why don't people at the market stall buy a carpet or something and then bow and thank the trader, then walk off and despawn when out of sight of the player? Why don't they do something that makes sense? Why don't they acknowledge the player character? Why are they even there if they aren't going to at least be somewhat believable?

I haven't played Anthem yet, but I've seen gameplay. The Tombs are definitely among my top 3 gripes regarding the game. (other 2 are objective variety and the flow of most conversations.) I dunno if it's a retroactive thing (people on Reddit say it is), but if it isn't, it should be. It REALLY should be.

I give Anthem the benefit of the doubt because it has a MP/online focus. But with DA4, I expect better hub areas.

Clearing all the agent missions beforehand makes it much more tolerable because you'll only have the really annoying ones left like the chests and collectibles.
