I know you guys are cynical but I'm looking forward to this, Division 2 and Forsaken. Fallout 76 can take a long walk off the short pier though. Gamebryo jank just doesn't suit the genre.

I’m really a mixture of both cynical and optimistic. I just REALLY want this game to be amazing. As we inch closer to release, I’ll have a real opinion of which direction I’m going in, but I can’t personally back out now...I’m the preorderer. Game has incredible potential so I’m in this for the long haul either way. Oh and Zed, I’m also mega excited for Div2, Destiny 2 Foreskin. Naturally, as I love this genre of games.

What potential Destiny with a story?

Whoa now, pls respect destiny 2 and it’s engaging story about a man with a horn and a bald headed dude who loves infrastructure a whole lot.

BioWare doesnt have good writers left They are gonna sell the game on gameplay alone?

I was excited for this game until I read the no pvp part on the forum post I had heard of the game before thought it looked awesome but assumed it would have pvp.

New interview with Mark Darrah up. Some new info. https://www.pcgamer.com/bioware-answers-our-biggest-questions-about-anthem/ Some info that is scary: Confirmed that free play, when you’re roaming is at max 4 people. Yes, you and 3 others. This might as well be a single player game. The question PC Gamer asked is spot on. Cool info: I do like diablo loot. I just, don’t know if they know what that means. quote:There's only four people in freeplay? That strikes me as quite a low number, especially if world events are triggering. Are world events designed to be soloed? So looks like we will have random rolls on loot.

Pretty sure if you wanna rip off someone else's game you're supposed to do it while they are still on the first title. Not halfway through the sequel!!!

Bosses are confirmed to have 4-5 phases. For the floor demo, the spider boss we saw at the end only had 2 but will have either 4 or 5 on release, as will all bosses. Customization is also limited to face only for the game. So we can’t make our 600 lb life a reality. Very sad I can’t create myself now. Last nugget I read was on world altering stuff: As an example of their evolving world, they can say there’s a crazy snowstorm this weekend. That lake you used to dive into is now frozen over and you can get to a new cave. You’ve been to that place a bunch of times, but not in that situation. Now everything is different. The other thing is putting everything into an ongoing narrative. It’s not just that there will be daily and weekly events, there are character arcs and world lore story arcs. There’s a long-term narrative about what’s going on in the world that changes over time.

Game sounds a lot like borderlands, but with (potentially) more people, crafting and timed events. I'm skeptical.

Buried alive posted:Game sounds a lot like borderlands, but with (potentially) more people, crafting and timed events. I'm skeptical. I think most of us are. Plenty are writing it off (don’t blame anybody for that) but there’s some real interesting information that comes out each week. Some great ideas, some that are huge red flags. I am very hopeful for the endgame and loot diversity. It seems like it’s getting a major focus so it has me excited. Things that don’t have me excited are 4 people per instance. That is barebones. I’ve come to grips with no PVP if they truly mean this allows them to go deep into the PVE game. We will see. Some info out of an interview today. quote:What I thought were highlights of the video:

Really cool interview with John Warner, Anthem Game Director: https://venturebeat.com/2018/06/18/anthems-story-anchors-the-content-but-its-still-a-bioware-experience/ The big takeaway that stood out to me is that the world is dynamic in how enemies are laid out. If you’re at a waterfall and encounter a pack of enemies, you won’t always encounter that pack there on return. You may go back later and a boss is there instead. He also says this game is all about the loot chase. That’s refreshing—as long as the loot is interesting. Good read though for those following along. Here’s a follow-up article that talks the story of Anthem: https://www.gameinformer.com/2018/06/18/the-story-of-anthem

SUN GOD AVATAR posted:You may go back later and a boss is there instead. Woah you mean sometimes one group will spawn. But other times a different group may spawn? Or just ONE stronger enemy??? Wow! Not since Diablo 1 and literally every monster-killing game since has something so innovative been seen.

TEENAGE WITCH posted:boycottingg until the romance dlc tbh I'm not really sure why Bioware is the studio on this project. Doesn't really seem suited to their strengths. Then again I guess DICE is too busy to make EVERY shooter for EA so they had to make someone else step up.

TEENAGE WITCH posted:boycottingg until the romance dlc You know you've failed as a developer when all you're associated with are your terrible romance gimmicks and not your actual stories and/or gameplay. This is despite Bioware making some truly incredible games in the past, yet they did the equivalent of loving one goat and now it's all they hear about. Bit like EA and lootboxes. Didn't they have to shut down their own official forums because all they ever attracted were strange people who focused entirely on that one aspect.

ME3 mp was fun for a couple of weekends so I think this will be too, question is whether there's a market for this kind of game amongs bioware fans. Personally I'm already off put by the idea that I should keep playing this forever, with games like these I prefer something I can beat then be done with it.

Avalerion posted:Personally I'm already off put by the idea that I should keep playing this forever, with games like these I prefer something I can beat then be done with it. You're basically describing the 'games as a service' model, which isn't for everyone. It's deliberately a multiplayer co-op focused game with a focus on content over time, and EA made this clear from the start, even before Anthem was announced (they said Bioware was working on a Destiny competitor as far back as 2014) If you're looking for a single player game this is absolutely not it, I'm sure you could beat the story solo but it won't be as elegant as traditional campaign experiences.

If you haven’t joined the discord, you need to. It’s where all the refugees are and it’s the only way we may ever come together again in another game in the future. Join away if haven’t! (It’s in the OP, it’s expanded quite a bit into other games and a large community obviously). Anyway, to answer the question, that has not been detailed yet. In the demo, there is a scene of you climbing into your javelin in Fort Tarsis. You can roam in town without your suit, so from the looks of it, yes, you’ll be shown in first-person loading into your suit. As for specialized load-ins into each javelin, not sure yet!

Imo seeing your romantic partner out of their suit should be the culmination of any given romance quest. Like sex in previous Bioware games. That way they can have Tali level anticipation but for every romance!!! And then no matter who you choose when they take off the helmet it's Carth.
