Anthem |OT| GaaS Effect
- Thread starter iFirez
- Start date
The 10 hour trial for Basic does not seem to be pre-loadable in any way. The trial is likely to start tomorrow at the same time it launches for Premier members but you'll have to download it then rather than preloading it.
Apparently no way to preload if you haven't preordered.
I have Origin basic too, paid it when it was 1€ at the end of january. Will I be able to install it and play the 10 hours starting tomorrow?
edit: k, answered above :p
Correct. You can play with no restrictions as long as you are subscribed to Premier.
I'm gonna cave and pay for a month of EA access or premier when I get home. I'll switch to PS4 next week, but I really can't wait that long to check this out. Plus I'll be more useful to PS4 friends if I know what's going on
If I remember correctly, there was no origin basic-preload for BFV either.
Edit: beaten
I have two versions of Anthem in my Library. One is the Legion of Dawn edition which is included with Origin Premiere, and the other is the standard edition that I got bundled with my RTX 2060. Does it matter which one I download?
The one thing I don't like about the Conviction video, is that it's almost too good.
Actually though, I have mixed feeling on this. On the one hand, it's pretty damn awesome for a video game tie in/pseudo commercial, but on the other it's almost actually good to the point of being a legitimate movie trailer. Almost. Or at best, parts of it look like a big budget Blomkamp film, yet parts also look like a much lower budget SyFy original. The javelin stuff is all him though.
That's the problem. I think a lot of people might be going into this expecting typical Bioware quality regarding the story elements. But this isn't their typical kind of game, and their stories were not really what made their games so memorable anyway. It was the party member or NPC interactions. Their actual plots are typical hero worship fluff usually, but they usually had a stellar presentation of it. Bioware has been trying so hard to get people interested in their "funny NPCs" with this game that they likely aren't even actually all that funny, or at least what's surrounding them isn't going to be interesting enough that many will want to continue to care to interact with the NPCs. The whole "Your story takes place after each mission" just sounds like PR talk for "We don't really have much of a story, but we have a lot of mundane task givers with Yes/No options, so please be excited!"

I just don't understand what's going on in it. Maybe the game will help make sense of it.
I am very tempted but because I got scammed by Destiny 2 (altough these games are not related), I will wait couple of weeks to see what people are saying. It looks very inviting to me and could be comfy late-night grinding.
Well, we do know in a general sense how the start of the actual game takes place (not from this short). I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the "big bad" in the game is the traitor in the video before assuming that role. If this actually is supposed to take place a long time prior to the game's actual story. Without knowing anything about Anthem's story though, that trailer told me absolutely nothing, and looked almost like a demo for something else.
Never saw this before, but that could easily fit with what was shown.
If it lets you download both, either one will work. From experience, if a version doesn't qualify for early access, you won't have the option to download it.
How the fuck do I get the discord link. I reply and I don't see shit when I try replying
Which is the dumbest shit ever if you bought the game. "Hey EA I bought your new looter shooter game I can't wait to grind!"....."Fuck You! You get 10 hours and then have to wait another week to play even though you paid for it"
Sigh, so Origin is now stuck in offline mode and won't trigger back over even after a restart. Anyone had this issue?
Hm
I've got to say the demo was one of the biggest disappointments I've experienced in awhile, so anyone gushing over this game will make me raise an eyebrow or two.

Can you post a summary of a video while also adding why you think it's a worthwhile video to share in the OT?
It's not worthwhile. Expect more people to try to drive by bash the game before it comes out.
Has anyone shown any build for the Interceptor that is not so melee heavy? I'm not that fond of mashing triangle on enemies 90% of the time so it would be nice with some variation in builds.
Seriously, so many twitch streams and whatever will be up, literally showing every second of the game.
Don't know how reviews of people even still matter at this point
Theres nothing clickbaity about it. The guy is only saying that by the nature of the game, being a looter shooter with tons of systems and needing dozens of hours of play before forming an opinion, people should be weary of reviews that pop up very quickly after the game launches.
He actually doesnt say a single negative thing about the game.
Interceptor does have ranged abilities as well as guns, so if you wanted to use melee less, I'm sure there are components and builds for that style as well. What I don't think there will be are extreme range builds. Interceptor will likely always have to at least be somewhat close to its enemies to be the most effective, especially with its combo effect being an aura.
I was looking forward to playing tonight, now won't be able to play until tomorrow night thanks to the EU time change. :(
No idea. And if they are before release most of them will be in progress tho.
Don't believe positive reviewers because they are all biased because he got blacklisted and they got free swag
There is definite potential with some of the spammable range abilities and hard-hitting weapons (i.e. Devastator) with the Elusive Talisman. I don't know of any specific video that depicts it but I'm almost entirely positive it'll be viable if you put in the work to build for it.
The thing is that its melee is a really damaging rapid-hit Detonator, and its Ult is melee-only. So it's pretty intrinsically geared toward it. If you don't want to rely on melee at all it's the wrong class.
Actually, he says dont believe rushed reviews because the game is of a particular genre that usually needs a lot more time to digest and form opinions of. He even says that he himself rushed a review about Warframe and ended up realizing this kind of game cant have reviews like that.
No the 22th officially. No idea if there are also review copies out.
I have an ebay coupon that would let me grab this for $35, but I had a very uninspiring experience in both demo weekends on the performance/bug front. It was mentioned that not all the 1000+ fixes in the launch build are in tomorrow, right? Some stuff is not until the actual launch on 2/22? The ebay coupon expires on 2/19 so I guess I can at least get a few days of early access impressions to see how things have improved.
