I don't believe the overheating is there to accommodate stream assets. First, you can fly much longer while raining. On top of that, you can also lengthen your flying time by equipping the right components.

Anthem |OT| GaaS Effect

That's all well and good for you guys, but myself, Dog of Bork , Admiral Woofington , and two other friends we convinced to sign up for Access Premiere have already basically stopped playing, with most of them cancelling their memberships. We just weren't really having much fun with the awful load times and terrible mission structure. Maybe they can salvage it, maybe not, but assuming right off the bat that it's only critically that this game isn't hitting its mark is not wholly advisable. We put a good amount of hours into wildlands and enjoyed that a good bit more when it released. I consider myself to be particularly susceptible to the looter shooter genre, having put hundreds of hours into Destiny 1 and 2, along with Borderlands, not to mention my obscene Path of Exile and Warframe play time. This one just doesn't strike me as much more than a chore.
Yeah, who claimed that? Sounds like bullshit, especially since you actually aren't moving very fast when you fly.
Yep. That doesn't sound right.
They should remove the overheat mechanic and instead make enemy attacks make you overheat or freeze to remove you from flight. Threats need to do it, and you can use your dodge mechanics to avoid them, but the suit needs to normally sustain flight. It's just more fun.
It's an absurd claim.
Related pro-tip: interceptor triple jump is faster than flying. This is especially fun when you're jumping off high cliffs and can extend those jumps a long way before firing up your thrusters.
I think the problem there is that they had a super quick turnaround in creating the launch bay. I'm pretty sure it wasn't originally even planned for launch.
For what it is, it's kinda just there imo. I'm hoping Bioware does stick with Anthem and improve it over time, but it must be a huge bummer for a developer to never feel like the game they released is done lol.
I must be the most patient dude of all time lol. This happened to me, too. Quit game > Load screen to main menu > Press A to continue > Loaded back into the launch bay in under 5 min. How is that brutal?
Everyone on GM1 and above is made of paper mache. The game plays one way on Normal, and changes completely on GM1.
Yeah, it's understandable why Launch Bay is like it is. I would almost rather they just take their time with it and release a social hub that's more than what we got but I guess it can be improved over time and something is better than nothing.
I also think BioWare will stick with it. Coming into a looter shooter - the type that Destiny started - these games are never done lol
The main thing for me is that they nailed the important parts - I love the gameplay and I love the characters and world.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. It's brutal because you're not supposed to get stuck in the launching bay forcing you to waste five minutes to get back to where you should have been.
How many times would you have to load back in for it to suddenly strike you as annoying?
Agreed
I mean yes, but he's also one of EA's Gamechanger influencers, and probably wants to stay one.
Not necessarily saying the video's brought to you by EA 100%, but it's surely safe to watch it with a grain of salt, if you do the same with overly negative ones.

Sure. But one class activates its combos through melee abilities. And has a spammable melee attack that's notionally a viable playstyle. And has less protection than others.
EAs social media influencers who get access to games early to provide user generated content
finished the game tonight 23 hours, I am glad for origin premium 1 month trial. I am quite good just walking away, It was not a good game and I forced myself through the last half of the game. So much potential wasted.
I got to the tomb parts and just quit. Origin Premier saved me $60.
Is there any raid equivalent in Anthem for super end game ?
Nope you unlock two more strongholds (longer missions basically with 'bosses') one of them just being the last level.
and a bunch of grind quests, that make the tomb mission look like nothing...
oh and you can repeat contracts...
Not even sure why you are still here then?
Why is that quest is so hated in this forum? You don't have to do that quest right away, there are lots of other stuff to do like challenges and events. Doing these will fill up the quest anyway. I guess people like to rush maybe? And this quest puts down the hammer.
I'm here because I was playing the game and found myself disappointed with it. This quest is a needless grind in a game already filled with somewhat mediocre quests, and it's inclusion tells me whoever is in charge of quest content at BioWare has no idea what they're doing. Which is a damn shame considering it's BioWare
It's kinda funny to see that "three strongholds" is being advertised as end-game activities when one of them is actually a part of the main mission, hahaha, what the heck.
lol i wouldn't trust EA Gamechangers reviewing EA games then
I have two masterwork weapons and they're amazing. Both of them, oddly, change the game a lot for me while not having too crazy of effects. Kinda like Destiny, I suppose? Except several Destiny exotics could feel really underwhelming.
That's weird... My store told me only available from 20 Feb and sure enough it auto downloaded this morning.
I believe it's the one called The Temple of Scar.
Well to be fair I guess you can replay it over and over again so to call it an end-game activity is not false, especially in higher difficulties. Kinda surprised that they would make it part of the main story, is all, I honestly thought they would be a different thing.
Yeah I saw it on this post on Friday: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheGame/comments/aqvneq/you_can_download_the_game_in_ps4_already/
I was surprised too since preloads usually are just two days before on PS4 for the majority of games
I Quickplayed into a hard version of the final mission. The player who was there immediately left. There does not seem to be a way to jump yourself in queue to find other party members. Selecting "End Expedition" does nothing. So I'm just trapped in this instance, unless I close the client. Fantastic.
Like, this is base level functionality.

Escape hatch is like, a basic usability concept. Just wow.
Seriously though one of the most disappointing parts of this 'loot game' is the loot! I want cooler looking guns, not 3 different models. I want to unlock new helms and pieces of your Javelin in the game world! Not at the in game store only. It really reminds me of Marvel Heroes where regardless of what you change you still look the same from level 1 to max level (they sold skins at the store, same thing here). Same thing in this game, your level 1 Javelin will look the same as your max level one unless you feel like changing the paint job.I want more abilities and supers as well. I know these are things they can add but man am I disappointed these things arent here out of the gate. What have they been doing for 5 years? Ugh bugs/glitches and technical shortcomings aside, this is by far the most disappointing aspect.
you can't even matchmake to find another member, even Div 1 had it or D1 automatically finds a replacement team member, and those games came out years ago
Saw this on Reddit
This is 1:1 with how DAI behaved back then on my old and slow i5 750 system. Because of weak CPU game engine couldn't stream in assets fast enough even when game already allowed you to move around. Resulting literally in this same thing happening. Things not being there at all so you could e.g. run beneath that hub castle in DAI.
Good to see that nothing has improved with Frostbite in that regard and weak console CPU's cause issues for Anthem now.

The Masterwork and Legendaries are very well done from what I've obtained and played with. I think the devs did a pretty good job with them. My favorite I have is a freezing sniper called Siege Breaker and it's a game changer for me. It's the Whirlwind type that autofires like an assault rifle. Every third hit freezes the foe which is insanely useful.

that is why some are saying that you have the overheating mechanic, you can't just fly nonstop across the map
Wildlands were never even close to being this broken or content starved.
US preload has been up for a a while, EU was only due to go up today.
This also happens to me every now and then. But I don't think it's related to weak CPU as my i5 7600 is not that old.
if you have the perks and fly over water + you can fly for pretty long time. Maybe to some degree it's a streaming issue, but you can stretch the flying time to a pretty long period.
It's probably hdd/sdd speed. I have a sdd + ryzen 2600 and never had this problem.

In case anyone is still arguing that bioware didn't do enough work with frostbite engine or that frostbite (and EA) are not to blame for the issues with Anthem...

Now this makes sense. I only have a hdd (not sure about the rpm).
I just meant in terms of disparity between critic reaction and player numbers
