I've been slowly grinding to max level in Destiny 2. I'm hoping to finally try the new raid lair next week. I'm quite a long way behind, Level 20 in Destiny (1). Destiny is fun enough, but I find I can't do a playthrough, I have to pause and re-grind earlier missions. I think I used Strikes to get extra xp in the first game, but I don't know how viable that is now.

You don't usually have someone with you straight away, or the mission is already underway and have to catch up, but it's manageable (it's not dead).

I'm seeing some of the automatic complaining about EA and loot boxes subsiding somewhat.
The demo has crept over 800,000 views with >90% liking it.

Excuse me, 17K likes on a video with 891K views on it, is by nowhere near 90% like/dislike ratio. It's about a 2% like ratio. And that's giving it the benefit of the doubt, as I didn't even count the dislikes.

And that's giving it the benefit of the doubt, as I didn't even count the dislikes. 17,000 'liked' 1,500 'disliked' Of those who expressed a like or dislike preference, 92% liked, 8% disliked. This is not difficult to understand. By your strange logic, the Cyberpunk trailer was even less well received as only 1% of all those who watched it liked that.

Yah, well, I guess that tells me something about you only considering the people who gave enough of shit to leave a like or dislike. But I s'pose you're correct there. Out of the people who gave enough of a shit to leave a like or dislike, 90%> liked the video. Not counting the 98% of people like me who just watched it and "Meh."

Thnk you'll get a measly 1 % following your logic?

Back to topic. I still need to see the next video about the story. Gameplay seems good but story takes precedence to me.

I said this in another thread, but needs to be said here: I'm sold on the co-op action first, story second, pre-release hype approach. I don't mind romances getting axed, no AI companions, max 2 dialogue options -- if any, etc., etc. I don't mind them keeping story and character details under wraps to distance Anthem from ME and DA. I've drunk the Koolaid!
Any story and character details from here on out are icing on the cake for me.
Not that this is any kind of major sea change or anything. I enjoyed Destiny 1 when I played it, and Anthem looks like the same sort of fun.

Also, the way they're presenting it, it looks to me like they have a clear vision for the game, and it was designed with a focus. That is really important. That is why I'm hyped.
Also. the colossus's orbital bombardment nuke fires up the ol' saliva glands.

Me too. I'm already certain I'll get my money's worth from the gameplay alone. Bio just needs to manage a tight, interesting narrative woven throughout...and I think they will because MEA's minimalist approach to storytelling did them no favors in the eyes of their playerbase. They've got way too much riding on this venture to "half-ass" it. My hope is that it is wildly successful so it pressures other developers to include something beyond the 3-5 hour superficial single player story tacked on...not to mention eliminating the play-to-win or RNG store BS that's become commonplace.

Same crowd chanted "Bioware is dead" for near a decade now as if it takes rocket science to put two and two together with EA's history and know the possibilities. criticism can be productive and skepticism over a company's background is normal but there is a line and beyond that its blind hate and cognitive bias.
When their favorite games and companies stand out positively, they are fine calling it well deserved but whenever EA's Bioware succeeded, there was usually an excuse.

Wait, I thought they've said no romance options at launch, with possibility of adding them later. Has this changed? Link? Genuinely curious.

I think Pounce was being sarcastic (in a hype thread, to boot -- skirting the edge there). "Teammates" means other real people, since those are the only teammates you can have in the game. No NPC romances like in ME and DA. Put another sarcastic way, you can treat mission matchmaking like Tinder. Swipe left for players with ugly profile pictures, swipe right for those you want to bone.
