Frostbite was a mistake (for non fps games)
I wonder if a melee focused Ranger with 2 detonator abilities is viable for Grand Master? I've been having a ton of fun using the Ranger's melee to AOE prime mobs and toss a Frag Grenade or shoot a Blast Missile to set off combos, and this happens so frequently too.
Huh, so I knew that the Masterwork weapons were mostly just upgraded versions of base guns (so basically a skin + bonuses)
but the Legendary weapons are the same too? I put up a twitter filter to see some of the loot people are getting and have been kinda surprised
at how many are just upgraded versions even at Legendary.....
Are there just not many unique weapons in the end game? Wonder if they plan another 'unique' rarity later down the line?
The game is really lacking in visual variety for me....

Damn it BioWare, why didn't you just stick with Unreal Engine 3 and then move on to UE4?
I don't believe players enjoy Anthem any more than the critics do, just read this thread.
The people who praise the game either logged very little time in it (under 10 hours, when the novelty is still fresh and the problems don't grate so much), or are outliers for which the flying somehow outweighs every other aspect of the game.
I think it depends on your level. For example, I only started seeing Rare gears after level 10 or so.
They didn't have that option. EA is mandating Frostbite to most if not all of their studios.
BioWare said they chose Frostbite themselves and could've gone with any other engine if they wanted to.
But their upcoming Star Wars game is, isn't it?
I think Respawn gets some room of play with their retooled Source as it has everything they need to make Titanfall game.
I dont know who brin is, but ill have a look tomorrow. i know i picked up some end game quest that looks like the objectives are a bunch of busy shit like "complete 100 events" and stuff like that. also, is there a work around for the sound glitch? where sound just completely cuts out?
The rumor is that Apex started as a Source game that was going to be Titanfall 3, exactly as Titanfall 1 and 2, but when they saw that Source was limiting them graphically on what they could do, they reworked that into Apex, and moved what they had to Frostbite for the Star Wars game and whatever Titanfall 3/new IP will be.
Also, Respawn was not a EA studio at that point in time.
No, Bioware chose to use Frostbite, they told in an interview.

And sometimes you have no idea what the fuck just happened and what killed you. There is no "oh man I fucked up, I need to be more careful of XYZ"... no it's just "PLONG PLONG dead, what the fuck was that?!"
I'm going to link this article, where is more than implied that Bioware had problems with Frostbite: https://kotaku.com/the-story-behind-mass-effect-andromedas-troubled-five-1795886428
For Bioware, Frostbite should just be the rendering engine. Separate to that should be the "Bioware game library" which has all the features that RPGs will ever need (advanced UIs, quest language, character properties, AI, server synchronization, modding tools etc).
So the problem isn't that Frostbite "lacks a feature", but that the "Bioware game library" seems to be AWOL.
More generally, I suspect EA developers have a very poor balance between the size/capability of their technical and artistic teams.
because we're in a hallway shooting through a door that's only slightly taller than the colossus. Trust me I would fly the fuck away if I had anywhere to fly to.
I did not have a single crash on PC in more than 25 hours, with sessions going up to 5 hours without leaving the game and even Alt-Tabbing.
The demo was a bit less stable at first but it was lacking some assets they patched-in.
If you use overlay tools like RTSS, try disabling it, injecting stuff into the executable can make them less stable.
I disabled RTSS a few months ago and now my games are much more stable.
Maybe we're busy playing the game. It's nice that you assume no one could like the game truly if they've played the game more than a trivial amount.
If you don't like the game why continue posting about it in this thread? The reviews thread is rife with the hate train, so why not go there and ride that train?
I personally enjoy the game. Yes it has issues, some being fixed by the initial patch, others that I hope they fix sooner rather than later. For me the foundation is good and I enjoy playing it. No qualifications needed, it is enjoyable and fun for me. I liked the story and the other world building trappings in the game as well.
Though I guess my voice doesn't matter because how could anyone enjoy this game?
I started with Interceptor but switched to Ranger and I love it. I still need to try the other 2 Javelins .
I need gear mine up. Gotten some Epic components for it through Storm maining.
They even have component that increases weapon damage by 25% :b
I had this happen to me constantly when I played through the earlier parts, I got it to stop happening when I switched the game to my SSD.
Also.. This aged metal, I dunno, I might have to keep this look..
I'm not sure if this is known yet, but might as well ask:
If I played the Origin Access VIP Demo, through an PC Origin account, on PS4 (b/c it gave out PS4 keys as well, it never ran on my PC), will I still get the VIP vinyls when I bought it on PS4? Or would those be for the PC version only?

I feel like some contracts are harder than others. Like, in one contract, there's barely any legendary enemies. But in some others, most enemies are elite and legendary are everywhere.
Ah yes, the old "if you're not going to praise the game, how dare you talk about it?" You got me.
That you would label a discussion of the game's many objective flaws a hate train is also pretty telling.
Calm down, bud. You're free to enjoy whatever you want. You don't need my or anyone else's approval.
But you assumed that it won't be possible for people to enjoy this game more than the reviewers. They simply stated that it isn't true.

this whole launch is such a mess. just look at the EA support forums ... so many people get this error and cant play the game after launching it.

Are you kidding me? What the hell, the requirement was 300.
You're right that I could have mischaracterized your criticisms, I haven't been following your posts specifically. I made the statement too focused and should have made it more generalized as I was trying to talk to anyone continuing to be overly negative and not add anything to the discussion.
Ultimately as someone that wants to talk about playing the game, the OT is the right place for that. Having to swim through various negative posts that add nothing to the discussion makes me and I'm sure many others not want to post or even read the thread.
I have mainly stuck to the Discord for that reason, not because there are no criticisms there, but because drive by hate posts are rarely there and called out for what they are. Criticisms are discussed and understood instead of shooting down anyone's POV, or at least there are more opportunities to do so without such absolute terms.
The Game can be fun but the huge Problem is there is simply nothing to do in its current state if you want to play a lot.
What was available didn't even hold full 3 days until you've done everything and are grinding for the couple % Gear upgrades.
By Sunday Evening after a few Chest Runs we were Itemlevel 440+
The Quests were boring and so was the whole Story in the first 5 hours before i started spamming Escape to skip the nonsense the NPCs had to say in the "City".
"Thanks" to the Audio Bug i mostly didn't even get the Story they try to tell you in the Missions itself because i don't want to read subtitles while flying around.
I started to listen to Internet Radio or Twitch Streams on the side because i didn't want to restart the game every 20 minutes anymore.
Gameplay is incredible fun though and i can see Raids being something special if they have some creativity with the Encounter Design.
But thats the future and the now is spread really thin.
Hope until my Origin Premiere Sub runs out they release some nice stuff otherwise i will look into it again in the Summer Months.

It's kind of a shitjob to come to OT to talk about *the game* and have 146 pages with negative answers (not even constructive criticism).
I mean, I'm sorry to say it, but if you've completed *every* activity a looter shooter has in what? Just 5 days.. I don't know what to tell you. If you burn through the content, you are going to burn through the content.
Anyone recommending colors or material combinations that look good? Trying to get my ranger to look a bit more fashionista.

Look, I want the game to be good. I stuck with Division through the time when it was broken and the end game was nonexistent, and I ended up loving it and sinking 500 very enjoyable hours into it.
If they manage to turn Anthem around, I'll be very glad. But at the moment, it's important to point out its flaws and not pat ourselves on the back, because saying "no it's fine" historically doesn't lead to improvements.
Same here, lol (except I played Ranger the whole time). Now, after ~30 hours of playtime, I might try out another Javeline.

So someone on Reddit posted all the Masterwork weapon special status effects and I'm not impressed.

A lot seem like garbage.
