could play a little in the morning - had to stop in the middle of the first mission though - needless to say that my progress wasn't saved (gameplay is fun and they tweaked the flying a bit for KB/M so it feels better than ... somewhere else ) ans btw did any of you speak with the bartender in FT? hilarious ^^ wanted to play again now but am defeated by the infinite loading screen boss when trying to load the mission tried 3 times already ...

I haven't touched this game but I watched people play. A lot of people seem to be have lag issues and disconnecting issues, but didn't BW say the demo was a 6 month old build of the game? So maybe on launch day these issue will be fixed for you guys. We had same hope with the ME3 demo. It is what it is.

Tried a bit late last night.
This is a running total of my time with the "demo". 12 out of 30 attempts to actually log in to the game.
1 out of 12 attempts to actually load a mission.
Anthem website still says I don't have access to the VIP demo to get friend codes.

Shotguns are weak, Sniper rifles are extremely weak. How the f*** does a sniper rifle do far less damage than a pistol? And the difference in optimal range seems negligible in paper. Also, this is as close I've gotten to actually playing the game: All I can say at this point is...

I believe game checkpoints saves are at the start of the mission only.... horrible if it lasts > 15-20 mins.

This demo version is a branch_off the main GOLD version and is about 4-6 weeks old (from what I understand). And the fact that we have issues means they didn't even know about them (which means they probably didn't fix them for the Gold version too) and chances are the same issues (and more undiscovered ones) are going to pop up at game launch. Essentially the week before the 22nd will be preorders and Origin Access players beta testing the Gold build so Bioware can rush with fixes for the 22nd. Fun, eh? We are closing in on 24 hours since "demo" launch and many people can't even log in for the first time.
I tried a couple of shotguns and both couldn't kill any enemy in 1 hit at point blank range. And those were my best Rank 14 Green ones. I think the sniper was the "Dead eye" which was my only Rank 15 Rare and I didn't even bother trying another one since that sniper was useless. I played only the story parts on Hard and enemies in close spaces do go for you (well, it's tight and nowhere else for them to be), but in the wide open areas they are really sluggish and prefer to stay in a spot with only a few actually moving while the rest feel like they "guard" the spawn and Ammo/HP drops It would almost be brilliant strategy if I didn't know they are not programmed for that...or are they? What I wouldn't give if enemies followed me so I can lure them and then fly quick to grab the boosts. I will check the Vengeance shotgun if I get the chance.
Tried a bit of free roam, did a World event of some sort that spawned a bazillion enemies which ran my ammo dry in no time again and had to run around using abilities and rushing in for a quick ammo drop before retreating with barely any health. I swear I will throw away that Colossus cannon for good. I see an enemy going for cover, i aim, I press the trigger...and wait...and wait...and wait...and shoot the cover that enemy just hid himself behind I am better off just meleeing enemies. For launch I will pick another class that can Dodge. If a Sniper aims at your back, you can Dodge it with a Ranger. With a Colossus you pull out your shield IN FRONT and still get shot in the back.
And then out of nowhere the game threw another endless loading screen during my Free Roam. No warning, no reason, no out of area warning, just decided to fuck up because it hasn't done so in 15 minutes.

Today I finished the story content. The missions were still very fast and chaotic, but the story in Fort Tarsis is nice enough.
Then I tried the Stronghold mission, but one of the random people I joined up with didn't get it and we got stuck when he left. Apparantly the object he was holding that needed to be delivered also left the map.
I unlocked the Interceptor, and that's a pretty fun Javelin. I'm going to fool around with it some more this weekend.
Random thoughts:
- The planet feels like Taris from SWTOR, which makes the name Fort Tarsis confusing. - Why do unarmed beasts drop ammo?

Finally got in. Sniper rifle is crap and has no scope zoom. Flight controls are not the best but I'll keep trying. Key bindings are terrible.
Also, get rid of underwater breathing and jetpack overheating. It's no fun at all.
Wyverns popping in and out when I'm on top of them isn't nice.

I've got a blue one and it's amazing. The pistol is like a carnifex or phalnex from ME3.

Also, get rid of underwater breathing and jetpack overheating. It's no fun at all. you have to play the game and unlock gear. it's not meant to be easy from the start it's a looter shooter, it would be pretty pointless making everything so easy at the start cos it would be pointless getting gear. That's why you have mods to reduce heat and that why you have legendary and masterwork guns. Do you even looter shoot? Lol

Colossus was painful at the start, but because I had to 'git gud' (or at least suck less). The Ranger is so accessible, the Colossus needs a little time to 'get' its style, and you are flicking the (physical) shield on when you need to. I think I'm going to love the Colossus but it needs mastering.

I read marksman, I think sniper. Marksman Rifle and Sniper Rifle are different categories. I had fun with my Sniper Rifle (it has zoom and extra zoom). The one that had 7 rounds per clip. There's also a Sniper Rifle that only has one bullet per reload and you even need to hold press the button for a while before you can fire. It's slow but strong.

Need to watch as some rifles like above are not sniper rifle. I used a sniper rifle with Ranger for an hour and it was deadly.
Mini gun on Colossus. Holding right mouse button will spool up the barrels. Letting it fire instantly when you need to. Otherwise there will be delay if trying to fire without spooling first. I'd assume whatever button on consoles brandishes the weapon would do the same thing as on PC.
Ran into rubber banding once in free play. Seemed to be a connection issue. Then another time a small window popped up about connectivity issues. Would close continue on. Then it would show up again Got worse until it wouldn't let me do much. Just closed out game and restarted.

got in an finished the first story mission - yay thoughts: + IF you get the hang of the controls it is actually fun + there are indeed Bioware moments in the story + music, scenery... + Ranger is fun - UI is a little annoying - loooooooooooooong loading screens - overheating happens quite fast - but there is a thingie you can apply for the mission that should help wanted to start the follow up mission... well... at least I know now right away if I'll get the infinite loading screen boss encounter or not

Finished the story missions (with really bad rubberbanding while playing solo in a private session), and tried some more freeplay. More bad lag, did two world events, could not pick up any crafting materials from resource nodes, and had my first crash. XP and loot lost. Whoever decided that those things would only save when going back to the Fort needs to be tarred and feathered and driven through the streets naked.
All the while getting close towards the demo being live for 24 hours. And even if I ignore all the technical problems, the game is not nowhere near being ready for release. Barely average gunplay, bad sound design for most weapons, no interaction with enemy NPCs, still horribly bad AI (beat three Lessers Titans at the same time by hiding behind two pillars), annoying hitbox issues with terrain, missing basic functionalities (cannot ping/mark the map, no text chat, no solo play for freeplay).
And now I have a headache because of the damn rubberbanding.

So after multiple attempts to log in. Some of which required me to restart my Xbox, I was finally able to play the Anthem demo! So here’s the stuff I liked: Anthem looks beautiful! From the waterfalls to the underground dungeons, every area of Anthem was a sight to behold. I spent most of my time flying around taking screenshots just in awe on how magnificent the world looked. Beautiful environements were what I expected after Inquistion and Andromeda but BioWare really bought with their breathtaking landscapes. In addition to the scenery, the flying is AMAZING it felt smooth and not at all awkward as I feared when I first saw gameplay footage of Anthem. A simple press of the joystick and already I’m flying around not crashing into anything unless I’m not paying attention. Tactically, you can create your own flanks or retreat to a spot above them to snipe. You could also hover and fire towards air bound enemies with so many options it makes flying easy to learn and hard to master. The enemy AI is also can be pretty brutal if you’re not paying attention. They were far from the bullet sponges that people including me were concerned about. They flank you, rush at you when you put a barrier and when you die, the enemy surrounds your body making it harder for your teammates to revive you. Enemies such as the heavy torch with the flame thrower when you get too close preventing you from flying and retreating so all in all the AI will punish you if you play too recklessly. I can’t comment on the story since as mentioned by other players we were thrusted in the middle of it. However the quests we recieved so far were pretty BioWare esque. From the very first mission, my team and I were required to solve a puzzle which took some time (and google searching ) But we managed to solve it making the quest more varied and less about killing hordes of enemies. The characters are more engaging so far. Something I didn’t like in Destiny was that it was hard for me to invest in the characters because you couldn’t interact with them often. It wasn’t the case for Anthem as some of the quests were tied to them and you could communicate with them as well making it easier to form a connection with the characters. Guns feel and sound good as well, LMGs sound badass, the Javelins sparkle when ever their shields are on critical it really just added to the immersion of the game. The customization is enormous too with so many colors and cosmetics to choose from I spent a chunk of my time making my Javelin look good. Now for the bad: As I said in the beginning, infinite loading glitches made Anthem a pain to log in. I had to restart my Xbox so many times it was ridiculous. The glitch happened to me while I was matchmaking for missions yet not free play which made it aggrivating. As engrossing as the combat is, one thing that I didn’t like was that you can’t pin your self in cover like you could in Mass Effect. As a result you’ll be taking a ton of necessary damage trying to fly to a location that you know an enemy won’t hit you. In addition I feel like the sniper enemies are overpowered as not only they have speed and quickness but they have shields which are tough to take out. It doesn’t help that they have the aim of the Halo 2 Jackal on legendary so flying is out of the question leaving you to the situation presented in my second point. The dialogue can be too quirky to the point where it feels forced. BioWare may need to look at sarcastic hawke from Dragon Age 2 in how to better implement snark. It just left me shaking my head at times whenever someone (often your PC) is forcing a joke. Fort Tarsis while great feels small, I’m guessing we haven’t seen the entire base yet but still. Also I didn’t like the walking around the base, you feel sluggish an option to have us sprint will be nice. Overall, an enjoyable experience hopefully I can log in successfully so I can play more.

I tried my first and last hour today. Sadly this game isn't for me in it's current state. I'm used to lag with my laptop, but it was much worse with Anthem. I clearly need a better rig to play it. I wondered round for a bit, talked to some people and failed at flying so badly I went in circles through a tunnel and came out where I began But the issue for me is the combat. The earthquake shaking effect along with the bright flashes from the enemies were just too much, I felt ill after 10 minutes and quit the game. So for anyone who's motion sick or affected by bright lights the combat is a big old nope.

Yup, this game's better with friends all right. Played a bit solo and was bored to tears. Things got a bit better when I played co-op with friends. I'll play some more later and see what's what.
