I basically just mainlined the story and it was about 12 or 13 hours, it would be more like 8 hours though if there weren't two different time gate quests where you have to grind out side content.

Anthem |OT| GaaS Effect
- Thread starter iFirez
- Start date
Fellow Rangers, just uploaded a fun build for you to try out! Venom Darts + Sticky Grenade + Vengeance shotgun.
Having to get three crafting materials by killing three titans, it was pretty easy once I found out where a titan always spawns. Only about 30 minutes. The main time gate is that Tombs one, which is more like 3 hours.
If nothing else, the Day 1 patch will fix the opening chests portion of the Tombs question which has been a pain point during early access and will fix the Xbox bug that prevents settings from being saved. Along with a host of other bugs and technical issues.
Load times will still suck.
Well i got some time to play yesterday on X1X. Framerate feels a lot better. I wonder what they changed. Loading screens... arghhh... still a big problem. I am enjoying the missions though but that end-of-mission-screen could use some work. Also, still too many obscure systems without good feedback. Overall I like the game because I like the play-loop and the look of the game. I hope the story line is good (I don't wanne read any spoilers), I don't expect anything amazing, but a bit of story that makes sense is already progress (compared to Destiny).
BTW game version is still at 1.1 (basically the same as the public demo). I expect 3 weeks of changes to roll out when the game releases. Right now, I didn't encounter bugs, but it could use quite a bit of QOL fixes.
I wonder what will happen when people join in a few months? How are they going to fill up the missions when most players are playing end-game?

I thought I got those through the main quest, maybe they were side quests.
how is it rushed, it took like 5 to 6 years for the game to come out
In the same way Andromeda was rushed in spite of spending 5 years in development. We know that the majority of it was developed in 18 months. I suspect a similar story is behind Anthem.
Seems like they spent the majority of their development time in the world building. It's one of the biggest open world I've ever seen (which feels small because you can fly through everything) with lots of details and verticality, as well as numerous caves for missions.
To be honest, then they should not have released an early acces or patched it friday already. This is the moment a lot of people are going to try the trail and see if the game is something for them. Bioware should have been prepared, there where so many tests and beta's and still so many bugs and issues.
I've luckily haven't ran into a lot of bugs on PC, only a few so far. Also load times on a ssd are a lot better than my brothers on a HDD. It sucks seeing lots of people run into so many different problems though. I'm not saying the day one patch is going to fix all of those but not releasing that patch last Friday is a baffling decision. I only can ever play these games for like a month before I get burnt out so the month premier will be good for me and take me to the division 2. I'll most likely come back in like half a year when more content and fixes are in, like I do with destiny.
Yet somehow every contract they generate for you use same 6 spots from small corner of map for every single objective , over and over again.
Talk about not using what you got.
Also those glass walls (Anthem's black smoke walls from Destiny) are everywhere to block entry into caves etc.
Today I am jumping on the GM difficulty. Also going to try to make a few builds if I get the right gear. So much potential here.
To me this thread have lost its purpose. I am fine with complaints, but it is the same stuff on every page. Gets tiresome. So gonna unwatch and may come back later.

That depends on what you want out of these games. Anthem's combat system is much better than division..and D2 for that matter.
I would avoid this game on original consoles (X and PS) TBH. This feel like a cross gen title. I think PC, Pro and X1X are your best choices.
OK, so it could be even longer then. But still, they must know at this point what the Cataclysm is. Even if it's a couple of months out, it should be mostly done.
Make Destiny clone; learn nothing from Destiny.
It certainly doesn't seem that way. The enemy AI in Anthem leaves much to be desired.
I love the Division, but indeed it is a different game. Slower, less "spectacular" and more tactical. I think both games can easily co-exist in your library. Sadly I only have time for one of them... and since I played Division 1 for 100s of hours, I will go with Anthem.
Is it though? I've played the demo for Anthem and the combat was alright.
I remember division 1 had pretty good combat. My only issue was the bullet sponge enemies. Took several minutes to down a single enemy.
Which is also the case in division 2 from what we have seen in the beta.
But the use of skills and the verticality creates a super fun system where you can do some amazing things.
Anthems use of skills and combos is fantastic.
Obviously if shooting is all you want then Division is better, but the you should really play Destiny instead.
I don't have a Pro or X1X though lol... I'll just wait for launch impressions on the OG PS4 and see how it does.
have you played Division 1 lately? it is not that bullet spongy anymore, you need to hit weak points on the armor, once it is gone they go down quick
OG PS4 and no SSD? Oof you're not going to have a good time with the loading.
The enemies in Anthem will at times just stand there and stare at you, or just stand there and fire.
In the Division even the low level rioters will charge, flank, etc.
The skills in Anthem are obviously more satisfying than throwing out a little machine gun turret or a grenade.
Obviously? There are plenty of games with magic skills that use them poorly.
The outlaws also constantly dodge left and right a lot, and sometimes flee backwards.
Every time people complain about how the AI "just standing there", I keep thinking are we playing the same game or what?
Same here. I understand there are some issues with the game but i can still see myself playing this game for a good 60-100 hours. Nothing like Destiny or Division but i am going to get a good amount of play out of it and i will enjoy it :)
Sure many of the criticisms of the bugs and at the game are warranted and i too want change but there is a fantastic game under that and i am confident i will enjoy my time with the game now and into the future.
Sometimes i feel some people see that a game is divisive or a bit of negativity surrounds it and everyone just piles on needlessly at times.
Recent posts etc seem to suggest it's loads of things. Should get a list this week. Some of the changes were shown off in the dev stream as coming on 22nd.
this thread is going to be a fun read come launch day. hell I might be able to sell my cirque de soleil tickets since the mental gymnastics in here are going to be that much more impressive.
apparently. But. not with the colossus. I never once saw my character.
Yeah I just had a cutscene where you see yourself.
It's the mission where you find general taris' coffin
ohhh do you mean your actual face? hahaha nope haven't seen that
Your face does when the face plate opens in cutscenes, but thats it.
Ok i finished the story with level 25 and a gearscore of 300. The grind opens up after the story ahm like a lot. Not that its a bad thing, its just a looter shooter. I have a few side missions left to do but ran all strongholds, the first on hard. So a lot things left to do. Not bad a game for 15 euros. After the month of premier ive seen probably enough to move to other games.
But that just happens with the standard helmets, not with the ones you get from the deluxe thing.
Uh, this is simply not true. The Division has better A.I for one, and If you really think they're comparable, you're being incredibly disingenuous. Enemies in Division flank, push, try to split your team up with grenades. The endgame enemies are also a lot more difficult.
Anthem does not have a better combat system, it has a more unique traversal system. The actual combat itself? Ha.
Oh didnt knew this. Im using the LOD armor with the standart helmet on my interceptor
