Finally played the mission. I dunno, maybe I need to play other javelins. I expected more melee stuff other than just a basic attack. Whole thing felt a bit janky. And the framerate was seriously bad, on Pro! I don't want to think how it runs on base...

Still there was some cool stuff in it, so maybe it clicks with more playing. Sadly I just got kicked out again lol

Went back for more, second mission boss was alright, too much screen shake though and lots of enemy attacks can knock you. Didn't figure out how to switch weapons though...and now I'm stuck at a loading screen.

If you like hyperbole, sure.

The game is a month away from release and this is their first big scale run. It would've been great if everything worked perfectly the first time, every time but I don't think anyone really expected that with the amount of attention this game has gotten.
Maybe you have forgotten how the SimCity launch went, but they also had a beta/demo before launch that was plagued with connectivity issues that the EA promised to iron out.

Welp...Looks like no demo for me. I messed up and put it on a different account that wasn't linked to my PSN. Someone from customer service said they have no way of giving new codes expect to PC players.

I hope you all who are playing it now are enjoying it at least. Unless I get another code, I'll see y'all on the 1st.

How do you change color? I went to where I can do paint on my Mech but I just have "materials" Metal, Rubber, etc... that change the sheen and texture, but not the color. Do I need to unlock some?
Scroll to the right of where you choose which texture region you want to select. The colors are right next to that. It's hard to see and took me a while to figure it out too.

Got in on the first try but when I went to do a mission I hit back to back attempts of infinite load times (on PC).

Guess I'll go back to finishing KH 1 and 2 before Tuesday and try again later tonight.

So far was able to complete the first main expedition. Game gets stuck too often in the loading screen when starting up an expedition.

Was able to record some footage of the first mission on PC. Showing some of the encounters on Hard difficulty and customization options.

Oh god there's no FOV slider. Completely forgot this was in first person except for the Javelin stuff. On my ultrawide the FOV is extremely small :(

You can tell that they've put everything into Anthem. They can't fail with it.

I just find it odd that a mostly single player focused developer is put under so much pressure.

Definitely going to wish the best for everyone at BioWare. I can't imagine the amount of stress that studio must be under with EA in a corner watching them.
I'm excited about the game but to be honest I am also buying Anthem to get Dragon Age 4

How do i disable the barrier in the first mission.

I'm too thick to figure out the combination

I hope they iron out the performance and network issues before launch because I actually like the core gameplay quite a lot?
That hub area though does not feel justified in this demo. It runs like absolute trash and as a result is a pain to get around.

There is a sign under the bridge leading to one of them, on one of the little pillary bits on another and I just guessed the third by flipping through them until it triggered.

Still can't get past the main screen on Xbox. It says connecting, then the UI fades and just sits there.

Played for a little bit, couldn't get anyone else in my squad and good lord these health bars on some of these mobs are so spongy they make the Division look like Diablo 3 (what the fuck turrets). And is it just me or is the motion blur when turning the camera really aggressive, even when motion blur is set to "off" in the settings? RTX 2080/8700k and I'm holding a high framerate just fine at 1440p, though. Will play again tomorrow when I can hopefully group up with folks.

You can't turn the camera in the town without massive blur.

It's nauseating

Yeah are you not supposed to be able to sprint through this initial area? It's quite a chore just getting from one area to another... so slowly.

I know this is a beta/demo, and I'm really really not trying to get frustrated from not getting in 5 hours later. Not going to dog them here, just hoping this isn't repeated at launch.

I can't even load into an expedition yet lol.

Main hub world runs like garbage on a normal PS4. Super disappointing.

Ahh. Thanks.

I was looking around for an environmental clue. I'm fucking blind.

I'll give it a go now.

It was a pain for me because I was playing with a Rando and I didnt have my headset on so I was going about finding the clues and they kept randomly changing the ones I had set lol

Fuck me the game comes alive with the Storm javelin tho. The sounds your abilities make are just insane. You prime and detonate people all the time. You have a nice overview when you are in the sky.
Just overall the Storm feels like a beast space wizard.

I've been playing on normal solo and am getting my ass handed to me.
The gameplay is pretty fun. I seem to love flying into walls as well.
