I figured why not start a thread on this game because why not? Anthem is the latest game by Bioware that seems to be getting a lot of hype, the open beta is out now, and the game comes out on February 22. Playing the demo it seems really destiny like and i'm not sure if that's necessarily a good thing. Bioware said that the world will be constantly changing and i'm really hoping it keeps up with that promise cause we all know games where the developers have said things that turned out to not be true. also it's being published by EA and well do i even have to go over their track record? I hope this game does turn out good though and provides a game that i can keep going back to.
Has anybody else played the demo? what did you think of it? are you going to buy the game when it comes out?

played the demo last night on xbox, experienced a few glitches (to be expected with a beta) I'm not sure if it's because I'm a destiny player but I found the controls a bit off (double press "a" and the left analogue stick up to fly/take off. pressing up on the d pad to use your javalins special abilities.), not being able to wander to far from the missions did hinder it a bit, unable to run/move faster than walk in the main hub/city really slowed the game down, and the loading screens of just a plain image (compared to destiny's ship in warp/hyperspace/lightspeed.) just seemed like a step back a console generation.
that said the game did play well for the small chunk you get to play and looks amazing graphically and is a good mix of titanfall destiny and call of duty but doesn't feel like a straight rip off of them. if it gets a fanbase & support from e.a./bioware I can see it doing well as long as they dont go for the cash grab option (micro transactions, multiple addons per year ala c.o.d.'s season pass.).

Fighting is fun (Just like Andromeda), npcs are planks (just like Andromeda), doesn’t feel like a Bioware game (just like Andromeda).
Well, I gave it a go.
Christ I’m depressed now.

Beautiful game, amazing to play once you learn the controls but everything else feels meh. The weapons and abilities feel like they lack any real impact and the bullet sponge enemies are kinda lame. Won't be picking it up right away but I'm really interested to see what Bioware does with it.

I'm just waiting for EA to morph this into a micro-transaction fest

I played the Alpha originally and the Beta this weekend. It's fun but I could see it getting really repetitive really quick. I just want Dragon Age 4. Well it is being worked on...

Also this shit ain't going to help them. if you need a spreadsheet to figure out when a game is released.... you are doing it wrong.

The PR response reminds me WAY too much of something else I've heard many times over the years, "We are still in BETA guys, release will have this all fixed" and nothing is fixed. In fact often the release ends up worse than the beta test.

The video game industry needs a huge like slap in the face 90% of the games release completely unfinished or with bugs that either never get fixed or don’t get fixed until way later (or in bethesda’s case they fix bugs and causes older bugs to returnw) something needs to change

I've never been as hyped less for a Bioware game as I am for this game. Going to skip it unless I hear amazing things later on.
Just hoping EA doesn't do what EA is wont to do and shut down Bioware if this thing is a failure. Because Dragon Age 4 is on the horizon and I actually want that game.

so early anthem reviews are coming out abd so far on metacritic the pc version is at a 70 whoch isn’t horrible i fully expect that score to come down though once the fame comes out. I also expect the user reviews to not be all that great either but i’ll probably still get it because these types of games have shown that they can get better over time i.e. destiny, the division, no man’s sky
