Anyone pre-order it? I saw gameplay on PC and the graphics blew me away. The storyline is apparently the weak point but the gameplay could make up for it.

I was one of the few that didn’t absolutely hate ME Andromeda so I’ll probably take a chance on this.

I played the VIP demo and the Open demo. It was an awesome experience to say the least. May be the best Co-op I've played, most missions require teamwork and communication, and with the difficulty on Normal, it's still a challenging game. Pre-ordered and I can't wait to jump in February 22nd. :10::2cents:

I've learned my lesson with Destiny and the Division. I'm going to wait for them to add more content before jumping in. Or I need to hear that it has a great story mode and I've been hearing the opposite so far.

The endgame is apparently 3 strikes and a patrol zone. Thats what I would expect from a free game

And in a plot twist, the Titanfall 2 devs release Apex Legends right in front of Anthem and totally steal all of its hype

I will have to kneel the entire time I play it. Too hard on the knees

Apex Legends is a great game. I normally don't care for the battle royale genre, but this one is quite unique and a lot of fun.


I played the Anthem demo. it was ok. Not my cup of tea.

Apex Legends is the first Battle Royale made from the ground up by a top tier developer as far as I can tell. It definitely blew up but I think its the first one that deserves to blow up. Good level design, good character design, good gunplay and maybe the best UI ever created.

Anthem is Mass Effect Andromeda all over again. Good gameplay with a mixed bag of other things around it that disappoint and underwhelm. I guess this is what Bioware is now.

The death of Bioware

6-7 years of development and we get a subpar looter shooter. Sad given what great games Baulders Gate, KOTR, Mass Effect were

I've been playing since the 15th and am glad I don't have to buy the game because I don't like playing it one bit. The best part, flying, is always constricted and the shooting feels pointless.

you're a smart man, I'm already kinda bored with the end game content and the loot grind is soul crushing right now.

The thing about games like Anthem is that there are about fifty games from this generation that I would absolutely recommend to most people without hesitation. Probably forty of them can be found at a discount price.

Buying a full price game that is incomplete in 2019 is absolutely nuts.

Apparently, Anthem was in so much trouble that members of Dragon Age 4 had to come in and save Anthem...and the old vision of Dragon Age 4 was canceled and rebooted under Anthem's image.

So Dragon Age as we know it died for Anthem. And there might be a good version of Anthem at some point...with Dragons...

I keep checking reddit every other month or so now and still find that they dont address the main concerns. Any game from EA/Bioware or has Ben Irving will NEVER get my money again. I had already been avoiding EA titles(they really arent very good unless you play sports games anyway, even then questionable but only guys in the game)

Pathetic that they refuse to address the main concerns (loot) months and months after launch to the point where people who didnt care either way about EA are now like yea they suck.
