You've been able to test out the latest build with them? Other than sharp turns and being underwater, the PC controls were fine (other than the UI which they modified to fit keyboard better). Aiming and shooting is vastly superior though. Tried using an S controller for moving around and it felt comfortable, but the aiming and shooting was ass on PC with one. Don't know if the consoles have a better aim assist, but it's awful on PC with a controller in that regard. After every shot the reticle would veer way off the mark.

Crazy high for what they are. Especially in a full priced game. So much for the economy being a work in progress...

Anyone on Xbox able to play yet? Did the performance improve in any way?

The game looks great and runs great so far. Just started the 2nd tutorial mission @1440p ultra settings on 4790k/RTX 2060 has not dropped below 60 fps yet.

I am an EA Access member on Xbox and wasnt able to download the game from the MS Store. It still tells me to preorder for money.

The EA Access hub didnt have the trial.

So lame.

Are ALL javelin-related cosmetics in the coin/shard shop, or are there skins and whatnot that can drop out in the world/be earned in other ways?

I've never more strongly associated a game with "can't connect" than anthem. Every beta/demo I've mostly just not been able to connect - and here I am again. Not sure why i got up early for this. I'm stupid

Are there legendary skins though? That screenshot just shows epic items. I could see them rolling those out later for $15-20.

We will have to see how many of the appearances are paywalled. This is a full priced loot game so if there isn't many appearances you can earn in the game from drops and they are mainly just to buy, then that is a hype killer imo. Even if you can grind for them just the fact that they can be bought kills the excitement of getting a skin not many have.

I only have EA access and I'm downloading the game.

On console go to the store, click where it shows the Anthem image in the front page. Then on the game page go down where it says "included in this bundle" you'll have 3 items, pick the first one starting on left then it should say "free trial". That worked for me.

Someone from BioWare stated that they start you off with "a bunch of coin". Assuming that pic was taken right away without the player earning any, looks like they start you off with 80,000 coin, which appears to be enough for an armor pack with some left over for some cheaper cosmetics.

Anyone else get super freaked out when exploring underwater in video games?

That first undwater section was horrible, but super fun.

Might be a coincidence but I just verified my game files and all of a sudden I can continue and watch the intro.

Btw does the trial begin once you launch the game or just when you connect?

I'm running on ultra on a 2700x and 2080 and so far it's super solid. It's not dipping below 100, sat around 120 most of the time.

The intro mission was glorious. Seeing and playing it again was amazing (it was in the alpha - not the demo) the cutscenes are a sight to behold too.
