hell no...you have a selective memory or have amnesia...Destiny 2 was killed at launch by fans of the original and even newcomers...it took until the Forsaken expansion for the game to feel complete...
Managed to play the game late at night with no problems once server load was down. Was actually a lot of fun. Seems like they have a solid core here but my guess is that the live demo and launch period will be a clusterfuck since I doubt they will be delaying the game to fix it. Thinking about waiting it out for the inevitable discounts if that's the case
That statement reeks of PR trying to downplay this. Well I can't blame them as this weekend is an epic dumpster fire. Bioware really screwed the pooch with this demo.
Also doesn't give me much faith going forward in regards to Q&A testing for launch.

Having a lot of fun with this, played on 1X and PC so far. Same issues on both with expeditions not fulling loading but force closing and coming back in on both platforms seems to work. I tried storm on 1X and interceptor on PC. Both were pretty cool, once you start getting drops with different types of attacks you can tell there's a lot of potential for various builds. Game looks pretty good on 1X but I think it looks absolutely fantastic on PC, i'm playing on ultra @ 1440p and I can't help but grin at all the cool looking shit going on during fights. I was planning on playing xbox mainly because of friends but I think i'm going to have to ditch them for PC. I also don't see how people can say it looks bland/generic, i know opinions vary and all that but this is one of the best looking games I've played. The detail on the javelins is crazy.
Its a day one for me, can't wait for launch.

Looking back, Bioware probably should have opened up the Alpha to loads of people to break the connection then, instead of trying to deal with it a month before it launches.
That post could not have been any more sarcastic than it already is guys.
Videos are all over youtube now (angry joe, gamespot, etc). The flying gets high marks, but the gamespot video is titled "The future of Anthem is up in the air" which is good, or bad.
No, they really don't. And now a developer trying to be transparent is "damage control".
The hate is strong here.
Give it 3-4 months to hit $29.99 like BFV, hopefully near summer should be something worth playing lol.
maybe, but in terms of launch it was pretty flawless. i had 0 issues with destiny. Ive had 50 issues with a demo of anthem. destiny 2 may be cra whatever you want, but its launch was better than this clusterfuck of errors, which they will not solve by launch date, i guarantee you that.
They probably shouldn't have released it in such a shitey state.
I think they're going to solve the infinite loading and connection issues before next weeks open beta...the open beta is probably more important to BioWare as a much greater amount of people will be playing
I want to say the flying could be fun, but the game spends most of its time hovering around the low 20's so everything feels like shit.
They shouldn't have put this out in the state that it is in. It is basically an open beta considering you only need to pre-order and then cancel or ask for one of the three beta codes that go out. There is a great deal of bad PR out there on this game now, if next weekend isn't flawless they are going to have some major difficulties.
I had the glitch earlier in the day but at late night it was smooth sailing. Probably a server load issue of some sort
Well think I'm done. Cleared the stronghold a couple times on hard and flew around as much of the world as I could. Kinda wish I went Storm in hindsight but Interceptor was fun even if their combo integration is annoying.
I'm kinda meh on the whole thing. The flying was cool but even with a bunch of the skills I wasn't really feeling the combat. Bugs are bugs and I'm sure they will be ironed out in time but even without them it was kinda a deflating experience for me. I wanted more flying around and exploring and less third person shooting with the same kinds of standard weapons. Maybe when you get enough skills and lowered cooldowns that is where the game would be but will see.

not knowing how long itll take to fix the infinite load bug is a huge red flag. Guessing it won't be fixed by the open demo next weekend then
Hoping the fix the bug that is locking people out of leveling.
o i didn't even hear about that one. I'm mainly getting randomly booted, infinite loads some rubberbanding.
Love the flying and combat with a group can be fun with all the combos but yeah if its gonna be a mess at launch, I'm gonna cancel
They are saying they don't know if they can without adversely screwing with everyone else, so you will probably be shit out of luck.
Okay the game is really fun. It looks really good though the game is really starting to show the age of my computer. So not sure what will be best for optimal setting but I'll have to tweak stuff.
Flight is really weird though for m/kb. Takes some time to get used to but a controller would be more ideal for it.

Quit the game and reload. Should give you the option to continue when you get to the main menu. But quitting and reloading always works. Over and over again if one is so inclined.
I have read the statement. It's ridiculous, especially considering this demo is an incentive.
Finally got my Colossus! Tried out a couple of different looks but can't decide which I like better.
Currently have two loadouts titled Military and Industrial:

Judging by some of the Twitter responses by Darrah and this PR release, it sounds like they have no clue what's causing the infinite loading. We'll see but I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't fixed in this entire demo cycle.
Yep, not sure how widespread it is, but its on their forums and people here have experienced it. It basically locks your account out of earning XP. I'm level locked 80% into level 11, says I'm earning xp, the bar is full, try to go back to the fort it displays that you are level 0 while adding up the xp and you load into the fort exactly where you were before starting. GG no trying out Storm javelin.
That really sucks, sorry mate. I get the load issue every time I leave Tarsis and reloading has worked every time. Sucks, game is pretty fun *when* you do get to play.
I applied the config changes that have been mentioned other places for removing negative mouse acceleration on PC. I'm not totally happy with the sensitivity I set it at. I'd want to more tweaking around with it. It does, however, feel night and day difference compared to before. My aim actually goes where I want it.
Biggest issue remaining is the joystick flying. With negative mouse acceleration removed, you can absolutely feel the joystick conversion. Those smaller, more precise movements you make don't register with the algorithm they're using to convert mouse input into. Flight only registers if you move your mouse a significant amount, and it just does not feel smooth right now.

I finally got to play a little this afternoon, after having with connection issues and having to contact Origin support because my Xbox had the wrong account linked to it.
I mostly liked what I played of the combat. I didn't think the movement within the fort was too slow. FPS sprinting could be sped up a little and it would be fine.
Loading the menus and the forge is too slow. And I don't like not unlocking loot until the end of a mission. It completely kills any sense of hunting for loot that I want from these types of games.
What I don't get is the random loading screens while out in the world. I REALLY hope those aren't in the game at launch. It's creates a terrible flow for the game.

I'm getting a message in-game about the server shutting down in 1.5 hours. Any idea what that's about?
Which you prefer overall? Before or after config changes?
