Anthem - High level gameplay
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
what' i find even more ridiculous with the Division is that the enemies you are shooting are humans that take a whole clip or 2 from an automatic gun to put them down. People sure as hell arent complaining to high hell about how bullet spongy that game is. It was ridiculous how many clips u needed to empty on regular enemies in that game and The Div2 looks to be the same.
Really enjoying the feel of the game and what I've played so far. But only having 3 strongholds at launch sounds incredibly concerning on paper from an end game perspective to me.
Fingers crossed there's something more and that re-running 3 missions + daily / weekly contracts in the open world isn't the majority of things to do.

I really really wanna know the roadmap for this game. how long will have to wait for added strongholds or raids.
High level play looks fine. Seems like it's gonna require a lot of ability combos and coordination with teammates in terms of abilities to really get through the content esp. for Grandmaster III I'm assuming.
Still though right now the game is just not hitting for me in terms of content. Only 3 strongholds with what I'm guessing to be weekly contracts and the main story with Grandmaster III difficulty as the highest. I feel like people are gonna breeze through the content in like a month and there's not gonna be much to do.
Game is gonna need a good stream of content delivery to survive imo.

Well, this is all very disappointing.
I wish they would have some roadmap of content, or show off these fabled "cataclysm events" somewhere. How frequent are they? How long are they?
I'm still looking forward to playing this but I'm growing less excited by the day.

yup I feel the same way about division. The enemies being human just makes the bullet sponge design much less palatable, with aliens/scif fi setting you can at least suspend your disbelief a little.
Is EVERYONE is using Interceptor or Storm or something? NO ONE is using Colossus? Lol. It seems like it.
I like Anthem when me and my buddies played most of last Sunday. Great times. When it works I have a blast. Having a different opinion is fine but the same people , repeating the same opinion over and over and over... That is what is truly boring.
Colossus actually has some of the most powerful weapons and abilities. Not sure why people don't play them. The lack of Dodge maybe.
Also from the demo the lack of combo setups/detonations? Which is integral to high level play.
they read that vanilla Destiny had the worse endgame in loot shooter history,so they're like let's try and do worst.
I don't see this game getting more than 75-80 in scores tbh,meaning more of the same except the cool flying mechanic
I mean...they both do it. Division 2 seems to have learned from super high ttk though. At least from early vids. You're still going to fight a dude with tons of armor.
This reminds me TF2 is in my backlog. The single player might just hit the spot for me.
People prefer Interceptor or Storm because they work out of the box. The Colossus needs to get class components with its massive hp/armour increases in order to function. It doesn't help that there's currently a bug removing said hp/armour increases during gameplay for no reason whatsoever.
Edit : And the 3 strongholds...considering you'd run them tons already while leveling up...yikes.

Potentially unless like I'm hearing it's all just the same enemies we've been fighting with more health/damage and numbers. If they have a decent amount of variety compared to what they've showed and then add extensive modifiers and such then yeah it'll be more interesting. As it stands after this, as one of my most anticipated games and really having enjoyed the demo. I'm now very worried, especially since playing with a team requires a team to, you know stick around.
I'm not going to be playing hard with randoms. :p
And yes, I get the concerns. There's a very real chance this game will suffer in the ways Destiny did on launch, but that game had a kind of magic that kept many of us with it. That "bigger than the sum" stuff won't be apparent until we've really given it a good go.
Destiny over time because of it's promise and then failed dev cycles, dirth of content. Really really burned me on 1. 2 was a huge backslide as it started to get better and then it's finally getting decent again. But the magic kind of died for me back in D1. I play D2 with buddies who purchased the expansions for me. But I have no illusions about Destiny anymore. I'd hoped am still hoping that anthem will be different in the regards.
So... 3 dungeons, bounties and Free Roam is the entire launch endgame? And people thought Destiny 2 launch endgame was bad.
I know there are different difficulty levels but everyone who played the game just says it's with more HP on enemies. Like, not even various modifiers? Any word on that?

I get it, I do. And it's looking likely Anthem will be a disappointment in a few ways already... we can only hope.
I love playing Destiny 2 from moment to moment, but the overall experience is still not super engaging for me. It also feels like a huge grind, and It's not anywhere near engaging enough to get stuck into that grind and make decent progress. I've still not even done the Last Wish and I was day 1 for all the previous raids.
Probably not actually lost, but it does require completing the mission I think, lol.
Happened to me too where I thought it was gone, but when I completed it ALL the loot from previous attempts was there.
I just looked at some gameplay footage and it seems like they have improved it heavily.
Its a kind of weird system. Loot that you pick up goes into your backpack and is always yours,, but it doesn't get 'decrypted' until you finish a mission. So if you get disconnected it'll still be there but you have to finish a (any) mission for it to actually decrypt.
Yup agreed. Thanks for typing that up, appreciate it.
You've also inspired me to try EDF!
It's just more health/damage. It's bad.
I know as a service game the content will grow over time, but that doesn't really matter. There needs to be enough content in the game at launch to keep people playing up until that new stuff is added in. 3 "strikes" and a few difficulty options isn't going to do it. People will drop the game and move on to something else before Bioware has a chance to add anything. Same thing happened to Destiny.
I don't think this game is bad, more meh than bad (though i'm very skeptical about its open world nature, marketing could be a bit misleading on that) the story seems very forgettable and the dialogues seen so far are just boring.
But most importantly, in a world where Warframe exists, and it is free to play why would you ever want to play this for $60?

as i thought, they are just inflating the damage, everything else is the same as on normal...meh
I gave the open demo a shot tonight after the fuck awful "VIP" Demo.
Bugs aside as predicted it was still boring as fuck.

except titanfall has better gameplay in every aspect.
What's killing me right now is instead of having real challenges with meaningful rewards everything is grind based. I don't have any of the high end titles because of RNG. I've done all the hard stuff. The flawless runs etc. It's purely just RNG. Even a freaking cosmetic title is RNG based... Come on.
The other compoment, and the more damning one, is they keep releasing exotics and gear. But, effectively it just allows you to do the same content you were already doing, with slightly better weapons. So instead of reaching new heights, with scalable or difficult content. You're just making the things you're already doing/grinding easier instead. There's really little incentive to actually try to get perfect rolls on things etc. When you really think about it, outside PvP.

After that Demo i am not suprised endgame seems lackluster.
Well, the Division 2 looks promising.

You're not going to see me disagree. I'd fucking kill to have Respawn go all in on a game like that with a huge budget.
