    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Well, there is the Storm javelin exploit, which should be fixed today, maybe. Can kill anything in seconds, even at GM3 if you have the gear to be there.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Totally broken in a way, since you as a lvl30 can use Quickplay to run missions and end up with lvl3's. So yes, you can group up with low lvl friends and run them through the eniter story if you want, without slowing them down. It actually helps them earn more xp / currency.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Wrong? Not at all. Many are trying to compare Anthem to other games which BioWare has made, like their single player story driven action games. Anthem is clearly not that type of game, so I don't fault it for having a moderately interesting Story, at all. I knock it for having Tarsis be the way...

    He knows what type of game he wants to play, and what to expect from those game, unlike so many other reviewers.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I honestly have no idea what type of game these reviewers want, its obviously nothing that is currently out. It seems each of them want an old style, deep RPG story (which BioWare can no longer make), and with a mission system that apparently needs to have tons of complex involved mechanics for...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    The fun factor in Anthem kicks in when you get a piece of loot that makes you go "holy shit!"... and you'll get those. I switched up my Ranger build today into a full Blast build (frag grenade and blast missle), since the Ranger Ult is also Blast. I haven't started to try and craft components...

    I like running contracts too, but they just don't seem as rewarding as a stronghold or world event for the given difficulty (no completion reward / chest).

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    No more easy Masterworks / Legendaries from Freeplay open world chests. Missed out on the gravy by a few hours. I think GM1 will be a bit overpowered for people who weren't able to farm chests, at least PUG groups. The adjustment to mob Shields cannot come fast enough. Trying to finish up the...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    He is no different than other youtube reviewers, points valid issues, rages about silly shit. Yet the issues he goes on about are present in practically every game, day one bugs, not enough content, boring content, etc. Nothing special to Anthem, its just one more game released in a bad way and...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Seems like a shit review, lol. The reviewer apparently wanted a proper RPG, with loot tacked on, but got a proper looter shooter with an RPG tacked on, and their disappointment is somehow BioWare's fault. They apparently don't even know you can solo contracts / missions if you want. I'm seeing...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Yes, if you spend enough time in Tarsis you'll see it. The romance options are there too, but just not enabled, its like some of the npc's you talk with take you to the point where you could get into sexy time with them in a couple more dialogue scenes. Lesbians, gay men, more browns than...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    No, people will be doing the one stronghold that is the most efficient to do. Right now, people are just doing the first encounter of the Scar stronghold and leaving, while others are just chest farming Freeplay. These are the "hardcore" types who poopsuck as much as they can as quickly as they...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Take the complaints in here is a few lumps of salt. No one is outright wrong, its just a matter of a persons disappointment at the game not being exactly how they hoped it would be (right now, if ever).

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Have you completed the requirements for the Trial? If so, it wants you to go into the Tomb and "greet" the Guardian, which is nothing more than clicking on the item atop the coffin.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I could be wrong, but it appears that the hardest stronghold is just a ramped up Story mission.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I think the long load times is mostly due to the matchmaking system syncing up players. It can go fast, but most of the time it is slower than zoning into the same mission while solo (in my experience so far).

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    They are right though. If you go into one of the mini dungeons you're leaving the open world! So seeing a load screen is perfectly acceptable. ;p

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Probably Destiny since you can play pretty casually and see all the content you want to see. Warframe is a good choice since it is free, but it tries very hard to make its cash shop pretty appealing with its grindy nature and time consuming crafting. There will come a point where I think...

    Anyone having audio cut out completely at times? If so, I'm wondering if you have VLC media player installed? I've had Anthem do that twice today, along with two CTD's. I've noticed that since I installed the Origin Client I am seeing something called "LAV Splitter" appear in my system tray. I...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    The one example I used for Destiny in terms of long load times had nothing to do with your hardware. It has to do with matchmaking / server load.

    You weren't one of the lucky Premier users that got all the Javelins right after the tutorial? Sad. =/ You get them at: 2, 12 (some say 8), 20, 28.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    At the base level, this game has no more loading screens than any other of its type, say destiny / warframe which have a "map - mission - map" type setup, so less than Anthem (at its worst). In Anthem its basically: Tarsis - Mission - Stat Screen - Tarsis; but at times its Tarsis - Mission -...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    People wanting a Pulitzer prize winning story in a looter shooter are just being dumb. This is no worse than anything similar, imo. Nothing complained about in here has been as bad as described, but we all overstate stuff we're annoyed with. The after activity stat screen is pretty bad though...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Lirik and Shorty both experienced bugs, then decided to go play in an Apex tourney. Bahroo and Seagull are almost ready to quit due to a silly Main Story quest that isn't party friendly and has you do like 20 objectives spread over 5 trials.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Yea, but when you change gear you shouldn't have the previous gear disappear. That is what happened to me, so I was stuck with the Pulse Blast until I could craft another Seeker Missle. The default Pulse Blast doesn't have shield penetration as far as I can tell, so that will probably be a perk...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    At the end of the tutorial you end up with 160k Coin, which will let you buy both of the current Epic skins (Ranger / Colo). Seems all my Javelins are unlocked... by lvl3. Can run around as any of them. Voice acting is the only good aspect to the Story, but I wasn't expecting much tbh, so it...

    I am a bit jealous that Astral Chain is exclusive to Switch. I'm more than willing to give a Platinum game a chance, but not enough to buy another console.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Its like Destiny. You can solo all the Story missions if you want, or matchmake for them. You can run around in Freeplay solo, but there will be people being phased into your instance, or you theirs. You can't solo the Strongholds. You can spend your entire time out in Freeplay and up its...

    I didn't check this during the demo weekend, but does Anthem have built-in support for Voice chat, or will we need to use discord/other app?

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I'm assuming that the short was simply a backgrounder for the story we will begin to play through once the game launches. It appears that the girl was a tool the that Dominion bad-guy (The Monitor) was using to try and control the Anthem. She escapes and is found by a Freelancer, and brought...
