The LoD weapon disappeared after using it for one mission and doesn't seem to be anyway to reacquire it.

I'm genuinely pissed about how early on they introduce paid cosmetics. This is a full $60. They haven't justified the existence of microtransactions yet.
Oh boy
You don't feel anywhere near the halfway point when the collectathon starts. Maybe the end of the first act.
I have to admit it seems like a way to time gate the crit path.
???? Why would they put this smack in the middle of a campaign? I feel like if you're gonna put shit like this in your game at least let it be something you can grind at the end of the campaign for maybe a certain weapon or ability power. That's such a buzzkill to the pacing of a game.
The grind for those challenges isn't that bad at all. You're supposed to be enjoying exploring, killing things, etc... anyway right? I know I am.
And you cancomplete them while you do Freelancer missions or Free roam.
You're supposed to be being a Freelancer, taking quests to survive and gear up as you work through the story.
I picked up the first one, flew about for a bit just killing stuff, exploring, and completing in world events (solo and in groups) and when I checked next I had a single elite to kill to finish it.

I felt confident knowing I would have the battle prowess of the esteemed -fr-smokeweeds guiding me on my first mission
It doesn't seem that bad either but it being a main story mission is a terrible idea.
Ea doesn't give you 10 hours if free roam with their demo. With andromeda you could play 10 hours or up to a certain part and it gates you from progressing the story. You can then dick around for the remaining 10 hours. I don't see why anthem wouldn't have a similar feature
Damn. If I could just ten more consistent FPS, I'd be happy with the medium settings I got it on.
Any suggestions on what I should upgrade here to get a lil speed boost? Don't really care about making the game prettier but man its so close to being decent performance wise for me.

Yeah, I'm not getting this reaction people are having like the game just told them to kill 5000 enemies just to advance the story. I think the only really bad requirement is the one where you have to actively harvest materials but doing stuff like killing 50 enemies with an ULT or melee killing them is shit you do during the course of one or two missions.
To be clear, I don't think they should have done that but it's not the end of the world.
Destiny 2 also have stuff like this, but at least they are mostly for obtaining Exotic weapons.
Man I usually dig giant bomb stuff but had to turn off that vid. Starts with him picking quick play then wondering why he not playing the new mission, fumbling with controls saying can't figure out how to land, doesn't bother use skills and when does didn't bother reading what they did.
Yikes. Had to stop after that.

Not really. All I did was run around to each tomb to check what I had to do and did it. That's why it's so stupid. The tombs are ridiculously far apart and you have to constantly check to see what you have to do for each one and it's a lot of shit. Gating the story behind that shit was ridiculous.
It basically comes down to the fact its boring and lazy padding.
5 hours of playing and I'm already burning out.
Biggest complaints in no particular order:
There are some positives though. Some of the lore is cool, the graphics are good, and the frame design is pretty cool.
Biggest complaints in no particular order:
- Walking around the hub is simply bad, there's like no redeemable aspect to the area. Even if they increase the movement speed or add in fast travel the area would still feel unnecessary and lifeless. The launch pad is also useless because you still need to go to the Fort for progression.
- All of the guns are underpowered and boring to shoot, to the point where as an Interceptor I just never use a gun and use melee and powers for everything. This will probably change at end game, but I'm already kind of over that aspect of the combat.
- The story front loads all these characters, heroes and antagonists, and then you go right in to boring fetch quests, go here and blow up some dudes, or look for 3 overly small interactables.
- Why is there a limit on flying outside of combat?

I didn't realize when they said hub, they literally just meant an empty room with a cosmetic shop in the middle.
This is probably the funniest shit I've seen this week.
Yup people are starting to hit the crappy brick wall lmao
Yeah, the hub is completely indefensible imo. If this is the end product, I can only imagine how godawful it was before they iterated on it.
Had two play sessions today with two vastly different results on PC. This morning went very smooth and made me think, wow, this has received a lot of polish while the session I just had was far, far, far worse than anything I saw in the two "demo" previews. This game for one all of a sudden made it sound like my harddrive wanted to break out of my PC case as I've never heard it grind like that, then while using an Xbox Elite controller it kept losing it's connection which both of these issues never happen with any other game. Then it decided to just completely lose sound. Those issues compounded with unbelievably long load times, a matchmaking system that just doesn't work considering half the mission or more is generally over once you get in-game, and enemies and structures appearing out of thin air made me really question a full purchase which is a shame as when everything works it is beautiful visually and super-fun to play as well.
Gonna give the Xbox One X version another go as the initial one went very smoothly just like the PC version.

When their previous game had a couple of bad animations and their new game has great animations, but you still want to criticize regardless
I asked around about this specifically (to be frank I haven't played yet).
Feats are specific to an expedition. Are you looking at the challenges in the cortex to see what you've done?
I haven't hit it yet but I remember people on other message boards crying to high heaven about a grind in AC Odyssey and that never felt grindy to me. Curious to see how this one is as I really, really like the core gameplay loop.
The game is fun to play, it's good to fly around and kill stuff. Free roam exploration, stronghold, then a few Freelancer missions.
And while a person does the above the quests pretty much complete themselves.
It's still really good, imo. And all the people I'm playing with think so too.
I wouldn't get in on the doom unless you experience it when you actually play.
The game has froze in the same mission at more or less the same portion of the map. I don't think I'm the only one either because the 3 attempts I've tried at least 1 other person has DC'd around that area before I did.
I think the heightened reaction is because they want to rush to end game and really see what the game is about. A lot of people, including myself, are starting to feel fatigued from doing everything that isn't combat. So to hit a soft road block like that, when they're already starting to feel like they may not like the game is probably going to be the final nail for a lot of people.
