Well, having played the demo for a couple of hours (without many technical issues, so that actually worked fairly well for me) I feel like both my fears and hopes about Anthem have been reinforced a lot. My specific feedback and criticism is here but I guess the TL,DR is that I think the gameplay is fun (if a bit repetitive already) and works and the world is beautiful (if also a bit repetitive already) but all the aspects that have to do with story seem to have very similar problems than recent BioWare games had (plus a few more) and I am doubtful that this will change at least at launch. I guess if you are looking for a looter TPS for the gameplay, you might just be in for a treat, if you are looking for a BioWare experience with additional coop gameplay, I'd remain very skeptical. They've been very clear from day 1 that this isn't a standard BioWare game and that anyone who is expecting such from Anthem is setting themselves up for disappointment. would you like the quote where they say that this game will "definitely feel like a bioware game" because it's a google away....

I have disagreed with you plenty but I am thankful for the disagreements. I feel like it's been real civil. I appreciate having what I believe in or what I am enamored with challenged. It feels healthy. I agree every one keeps bring up MTX well so be it you rear ends quit ! if you do not want to spend the money so don't if I want to then that's my choice not yours so SHUT!! up !!!! I'm Done here. Sorry if I stepped over the line but I'm tired of the BS that comes from …….well you know who if not your just as..hats people like you accepting it supinely and justifying are part of the problem You are not chill, you are not cool, you are not the level headed one You at the enabler

Repeat with me "This is a shooter looter not a proper Bioware game aimed to the core fanbase" Virtually every preview of the demo says exactly the same thing I am waiting to see how this game story "feels like a proper bioware game" This is the game that costed us the Mass Effect Series and so far I am not impressed at all as it is a goddamn destiny clone exactly as it was foreseen Wut? No it wasn't don't try and connect those issues.
Not sure how any one could have ever expected this game fro day one to be a bioware game of the past. It's been a looter shooter game from day one till now and all they have tried to do is attach more of a story to it.
It's meant to take the success of some of their mp endavors (me3mp) and go a lot further. Whether they have succeeded or not we shall find out.
Uhhhh we were told multiple times that this would feel like a traditional bioware game...we were told this as a response to our concern that this was not enough like the core bioware games. Then little by little all the shit came floating up about the lack of companions, lack of romances, non repayable campaign and so on and so forth and people started getting more and more concerned.And now we know this is flat out a destiny clone. Considering Anthem was rebooted at one point I have to wonder if that was done so that EA could direct Bioware more toward the destiny clone they craved. I would not put it past them after the shit they did to other studios forcing projects on them Now How the ACTUAL fuck is what I wrote wrong? Bioware's A team working on this destiny clone piece of shit is what resulted in Andromeda being what it was. Sure there were OTHER issues but the team that gave us such fucking gems as the Omega dlc and had absolutely no experience releasing a mainline full game was tasked with making Andromeda. De facto, this game costed us Mass Effect, I could not care less whose decision it was either. Fallout 76 level of failure (both financial and critical) is what I am hoping for

Welp it got shat on yesterday. Great showing Bioware. Can't wait gor micro transactions to be unveiled. Hopefully the gane fails and Bioware goes back to ME1 model or gets bought out by someone else after what ninja theory devs are saying I wish MS would buy them out

Assault rifles have STUNK in pretty well every bioware game, compared to other stuff, no doubt about it it is a trend. annoying. MEA sure, but ME3 had some solid AR's. Saber, Adas, Particle Rifle, Spitfire, Typhoon, Harrier PAW and crusader (I know not AR but it is basically the new saber)

*SNIP* With enough backlash and enough reason to even if a game was "already made once" they will make it again So basically, you want dragon age to be like FIFA? obviously not, fifa is a sport sim, those have their own principles to abide to Although Read up on the whole fifa debacle this year...

looks like the "internet fanboys" managed to do rather well with the FO76 backlash and Diablo Immortal. You trying to label me to de legitimize my complaint about the fact that this is NOT what I want from Bioware in The same way as I would complain about Blizzard pushing out a romantic date simulator, is quite amusing especially since lately us "internet fanboys" who dare speak their mind and not take this shift supinely (especially the counter intuitive and contradicting advertisement that seems to be aimed to reel in the existing fan base with false -and vague- promises while trying to hook the destiny fans) are causing some of these companies to sweat bullets....and I an enjoying ALL of it. Oh, and let's all say goodbye to the Activision/Blizzard CFO folks. The first rat to abandon the ship...now let's see what their next step is You should take your toys and go home. make me, bucko. Let's see how well that goes

Unfortunately DA4 is already locked into Live Service as well, so that ship has sailed. Oh well, here's to hope that the single player experience focused studios bought by MS work as advertised (so far the writing on the wall seems good)

quite simply, if Anthem fails and DA4 does well (hopefully EA does not pull another destiny clone/uber monetization scheme one it) then EA will not shackle the Bioware A team to a destiny clone for the next 10 years. If the backlash is strong enough they may even abandon the project altogether allowing Bioware to focus on what they do best It is the same reason why I was hoping for Fallouf 76 to fail (not the same reason I was hoping battlefront and battlefield and COD 4 and Diablo immortal to fail but hoping for similar outcomes) So do you honestly believe that BioWare would work on a project - a new IP - for 6+ years with 100's of people if they did not share a common goal? Do you believe people will give their all for years on end simply for a money scheme ? Do you believe you can create a environment of creativity, ownership, detail orientation and passion for the job if Anthem is not the shared vision of the people working at BioWare? I've got news for you pal. They aren't doing this as a cash-grab because one hick up at EA said they had to. They are doing this because they love doing it, and they share a mission to see this through to the best of their abilities. You have every right to be skeptical because your vision does not match yours, but I think deep down you know (reeeeaaallly deep) that the games you once held in high esteem will not be created again, no matter the backlash. Simply because A) they already have been created once, so why do it again? and doing something new as a developer is a lot more challenging, and fun.
Also, why are you making it out to be that DA4 will not follow the same formula? DA is party-based. DA could fit perfectly well in Anthem's concept...
sorry, not buying it. While I do not doubt that some Bioware folks put their heart and soul in the creative process of their craft I also know Bioware Is DE FACTO a subsidiary of EA and what EA says goes. Case in point Diablo Immortal. Blizzard Devs can try to be high and mighty as you are right now and speak about the creative process of their team and how they realized that mobile gaming is what people want and even their most hardcore team members seen to want (God I cant keep a straight face saying this) but it does not change the fact that Diablo immortal was NOT what blizzard wanted and it was dictated by activision's higher ups in the hopes to make a buck (the company they outsourced the coding to should be telling as well) Thank God for the backlash on that. So no, not buying it sorry. And your character defense of Bioware is laughable. I would buy it if they were their own studio. THEY ARE NOT They are EA. Get it through your head. Their objection of conscience mean nothing, they do what they are told. EA follows the money, games like GOW, TW 3 and spiderman and others have shown companies that there is money and good will to be made there if customers are treated with respect and given quality. With enough backlash and enough reason to even if a game was "already made once" they will make it again

I'm genuinely curious. Other than personal sadistical pleasure, what good exactly are you hoping comes from Anthem tanking?

Anthem certainly has some appealing features to me, but if you forced me at gunpoint to answer truthfully why I’m getting the game, well... I’m just afraid that if Anthem bombs Bioware might not be around long enough to make the next Dragon Age game. I love Dragon Age enough that I’ll throw money at this company to make sure it doesn’t become a dead franchise. According to an interview if Anthem fails BW will not be shut down If that is true please dear lord pray for it to fail miserably because that is the only thing EA understands

Yeah, I dunno about this Anthem thing. They say it still does strong storytelling, just in a different format, but what (admittedly little) I've seen does not really get me going at all. Some stuff I've heard sounds appealing, other things make me doubt it's for me. I'll probably wait for the price to drop like I did with ME:A (which I had fun with, but don't regret not playing it sooner). Here is how I think it will be: Know Warframe? Like that. Or SWTOR. You get to play a story mission. In that open world. It is like any other mission out there. Sometimes these missions introduce new stuff. Like a javelin. Or your ultimate. Then you return to the base. Conversation and cutscene. The next big thing is announced ominously. But you gottq be more experienced fo that. Also needs more elf root. Go grind some more. Then unlock next story bit. Patch comes - you can replay story missions now. Also new content with story arc. You need snofleur pelts for this. Go grind some. yeah....fuck that shit

ME1 had new game +. I have no idea what you're talking about tbh, new game + is not foreign to BioWare. ME2 and ME3 also had a New Game + mode. And ME:A as well I think. So new game + is old hat for Bioware at this point. Now if it'll be in Anthem is another question. My bad, you guys are right. ME1, ME2 and ME3 all supported New Game+ with the same Shepard, and MEA the same Pathfinder, keeping inventory and XP level, among other things. ...it almost looks like you really don't know what you are talking about in respect to some pretty basic fucking features there...hell in ME1, ME3 and most definitely Andromeda you could not max your character without NG+.... That said, the more I look about this the more I want this to fail just like FO76 did. This has legitimately nothing I want from a proper Bioware game and everything I dont wanr from a destiny clone.

Soooo
Just here to double check a few things now that HOPEFULLY we should have more info since the game is 90 days or so from release...
are we still in a position in which the campaign is not properly re-playable (as in not just replaying random missions but actually replaying the campaign as a whole with my character, not having to make a new one), the decisions made in the game have no real effect on the narrative and there are no romances and no companions?
I know
Dumb questions right?
Please indulge me

It does not bode well, if you ask me, that I feel more urgency and motivation to complete the allies and relationship quests than the main plot...hell...after my romance and all of the crew side quests are done I often have to will myself to finish the main quest
Some of the priority ops I feel I have to do only to open up the progression of the companion quests.
Is it just me?
