How can a game with such a pretty 'open world' and flying iron man mech suits look so boring to play...

Anthem - Full 20 minute E3 Gameplay Demo
- Thread starter dex3108
- Start date
Nothing in Anthem for you then. Probably have to wait for new Dragon Age or something akin to that.
Didn't they already say that's not happening, tho? Pretty sure this is the new GAAS Bioware now. :(
Suit abilities are loot drops and show up as different parts on the chassis
Thats not really someting I would call customization though.
They've repeated multiple times recently they are working on a new Dragon Age so I'm not sure where you got that from?
I don't think what was shown in this video is indicative of her actual strength. Seemed akin to making players invulnerable when making gameplay videos like this. Like they didn't want to show another phase of the fight or something, as they also intentionally cut the video before she's even remotely close to dying.
It looks better than what was shown at E3 and gives a better sense of what the game will be like. I still don't see anything that's new, innovative or particularly noteworthy but if there's enough challenging content to progress through I expect it'll be a fun coop experience for a while. I do hope there's more to the game loop that they haven't shown yet and that by launch it'll be a more enticing package.
I think this is going to be one of those games that is an absolute blast to play, especially with friends, but it's hard to tell why from videos. I have friends that played it at E3 that swear by it. I'm seeing a lot more Monster Hunter/The Division vibes than Destiny, apart from the aesthetic, and that kind of game in an Iron Man suit definitely works for me.
You get complete games today just as you did when technology didn't allow for updates and DLC back in the day.
Oki first thing:
Way to slow moving characters. They need to speed up the flight and running speed. this is going to be hell to play otherwise.
I love the look of the game, the open world seems cool" i hope its open go anywhere type of world? "

Now, that on the other hand is what I call customization. Thanks for posting that. :)
Dragon Age 4 is being worked on by a smaller team in Edmonton. It's just not currently the priority for them.
There will probably be other unlockable pieces that'll be entirely cosmetic
The flying is a bit off to me. Sure it looks like it controls ok, but it's a bit... slow? At 4:50 in the video, there's a point where the player is flying almost straight down and it doesn't look much faster than flying straight.
But other than that, seems alright.

It looks very well out together. I think it will all come down to content creation in the long run, not just what is in the base game. Even if BioWare provides a lengthy story mode, people are going to blow through it relatively quick. So you'll need a good amount of side content, and most importantly the ability to release content at a decent pace.
Was unexpectedly boring for me even though I was excited for the game. Perhaps due to not being a fan of tank classes and that boss being a bullet sponge.
I am sure it feels more fun to play than to watch. Flight looks SO slow to me.
Will try a beta if one is available, but would not buy without having a try first.

I'll have to sit down and watch this tonight. I'm more into fantasy so I'm not sold on Anthem. However the flying around zippy combat is making me more interested
It's pretty, but I can't shake the feeling that it just seems like a paint-by-numbers widest-appeal-possible futuristic shooter.
I feel like we've already gotten this game a dozen times over.

EA sent us the video, albeit in 1080p only (and with French subtitles), but it's still a nice 5.5 GB file with a 36Mb bitrate, so quality is excellent :)

Extremely disappointed based on that footage. Very run of the mill gameplay, and nothing about the enemies seemed interesting either.
Doesn't even look especially pretty, which I am very surprised by.

I hope that they release a beta. I need to see how this game performs with my group of friends before I commit to purchasing.
The world, the flying, co-op, customization.
The combat looked better in last year's presentation.
But as I said, I can probably chalk this up to not being a fan of tank classes (and the combat/mobility that comes from them), and bullet sponge boss (which I don't like in most games). Also, perhaps the wow factor of the flight that I had is now starting to wear off as well.
Skipping through the 20 minutes I saw: flying, sprinting, sprinting, aiming weapon, flying under water, flying in the air, and combat with overly large dps numbers. I don't know. I'm not really confident in this. No way can I see Bioware delivering a story or lore on par with ME 1-3. The world is too big and and I imagine NPCs will just be activity vendors.
You really shouldn't expect anything good from the story of a game that is supposed to be Destiny-like, these games are not made with a big focus on story.
