That's probably the best way to play these type of games. I semi grinded in Destiny 1 but some of that was because I enjoyed the pvp.
I believe fire doesn't do extra damage to shields. I think electricity is +50% to shields and ice is +25% as the two shield shredders. I hesitate a little since I don't remember where I read that and I posted the bad info about luck from Gamerant earlier, so it seems there's some bad info out there. Which isn't surprising as the game is so obtuse on how some of these systems work.
Yeah I'm sorry that's weird and pretty sure it can harm your ps4 no matter the game. Always, always close the application then hit eject.
Wait people are only just realising you can hover? Are the tutorials different on PC or something because I 100% swear I got a tutorial for everything including hovering, ultimate, appearance changes in the forge, map use and even how to shoot. Am I special?
Super general question about the game here guys, but if I enjoyed ME3 multiplayer a lot with my friends mostly for the fun repetitive gameplay, and occasional cool loot/characters you got from those packs, would we enjoy Anthem? Story and stuff doesn't matter, purely looking at it as an analogue to ME3 multiplayer.
That's great to hear. Might just check it out if I can convince my friends! What do you prefer compared to ME3?
At the end with the boss. When it crawls back into a hole and spawns a swarm I love using my shield and bulldozering through them, It usually fills my health, ammo and most of my ultimate.
I had another random Colossus as all my friends had bounced for the night. He had the same firwall mortar as me but also the flame thrower for good measure. I took the explosive shot for combos from a distance. We had the swarms that come from that opening scared to walk through our walls of fire and any that were hiding dude was catching with his thrower.
Tossing in an explosive round to that mess and watching like 15+ "combos" pop up along with filling my ult from almost empty never. ever. got old.
Also I tried to name my Colossus "Thicc" and the game straight up t old me to pick a new name LoL :-D i love it.
Yeah I think I read that just a little while ago, but it was on a site called gaming instincts, and I've never heard of that site, so I took it with a pinch of salt.
Well the few good things reviewers pointed out for this game are about the gameplay loop -- controlling the javelins is so much fun and makes the encounter better than they have any rights to be. It also feels really good when you pull off combos with the rest of the team. In many ways, it's closer to Andromeda's multiplayer (it introduced the jetpack IIRC), but I know it was a step down from ME3.
The fire wall on the ramp when you have to stay in that circle is really go for giving everyone a break to recharge their shields too. I like the Fire Wall and the siege cannon
Just did my first Matthias legendary contract and boy that was fucking hard. Had the Lesser Ash Titan and on gm1, that think is lethal. We wiped twice but fucking hell, I'm loving the int ult damage.
Only thing is that you have to jump to literally do any damage to the Titan, and for some reason, you can't jump again straightway, like the button doesn't register a second time, so no insta jumping the second time, have to wait about two seconds (as in jump, land on ground, wait two seconds, and then jump again). BW need to change that, or fix it.

Guess it's better late than never, but now the "breaking news" about the game shutting off or bricking the PS4 is all over Youtube.
Tried mentioning this to you previously when you were talking about how great Thunderbolt of Yvenia was. Lightning is the shield shredder. Everything else does reduced damage against them comparatively, and fire is what works the best against armor (the yellow health bars). Shielded enemies also happen to be the most annoying in the game so far, which is why Yvenia makes a great secondary for many loadouts.

What do people think the eject button does? It's not a physical eject mechanism like an old 90's top-loading boom box (there is a force eject screw inside the PS4 for emergencies). The PS4 eject button is just a software command. It will close the application in exactly the same way as if you hit the dash and selected close.
And of course, Anthem hard crashes for people when they close from the dash too. Because it's effectively the same command. The game is horribly coded to allow this to happen.
For the time being, BW is pretty safe. The tax breaks and other things EA gets for them being in Canada are pretty nice.
You don't get a choice. Whatever your 1st javelin was on your 1st pilot, is the same javelin you start with on your other 2 pilots. You don't get a choice til you hit level 8 and you can pick from the rest, assuming you've unlocked them with the previous pilot.
Just finished the campaign. Quite enjoyed that honestly. A number of the missions devolved into standard "hold this area" or "collect the echoes" designs, but the combat, environmental navigation and fun dialogue throughout kept me happy and I had a good bit of fun. The cutscenes were all well done with some eerily accurate facial animations.
Wish we saw more of the Monitor during the whole thing, but he was a cool villain. I really liked the Heart of Rage mission. Fun battle. Though:
The ending really opens the doors for more stories in the future. I'm actually really excited to see new story content.

the last we see the Monitor is him limping away and getting crushed by the Strider was a bit anti-climatic.

Everyone shits on the Ranger for being bad, but fuck the Interceptor is mostly terrible imo. It seems like most of these abilities aren't good at all.
Obviously the best choice is to just run a mission and see how they personally feel, but I what I DO love about the Thunderbolt is it procs and does nice damage even on shots that otherwise do no physical damage -- like when you hit enforcer shields or non-vulnerable areas of a titan.
Yeah, Rainer's Blaze has gone back to the vault lol. The Thunderbolt is just too valuable not to use, so just ended up rolling three, and keeping the one with the most decent stats. Sacrificed alot of max armor though :(
It seems like Quickplay is an issue (at least anecdotally), I feel like it's been a common thread. No receipts, just something I've noticed
No receipts needed. Quick play is acknowledged as having a lot of issues. Tons of user reports on the subReddit and the devs have posted that it's one of the issues they're working on.
Just had a crash that made me hard reset because it completely removed all audio from the game even when closing and shutting the xbox down regularly.
Im trying REALLY hard to like this pos but its trying me hard.

What is the earliest you can get them? I just got my first (Papa Pump with so so rolls) and I am level 27.
Thing is, both classes end up being more weapon oriented, but the Interceptor is better with guns once you get the component that lets you reload by dodging. I would still rank them Storm = Colossus >>> Interceptor (*has a higher skill ceiling and more potential to equal and surpass the previous two) >>> Ranger.
I felt the exact same way. I was pleasantly surprised and look forward to them continuing the story.
People don't realize that this is the cataclysms they promised.
I would say yes, i loved ME3 multiplayer, though I'm not sure if anything compares to hordes of enemies swarming you while you take a last stand and overcoming the odds in the final seconds of the match, but it's still comparable in some ways. It also depends on how much patience you have for the game booting you out every other loading screen or the other various issues. I've been really enjoying it a lot despite all that and feel it's a highly under rated game.
Yeah I'm not happy with the interceptors abilities. I mostly use ranger so far.
Another freeze in the final part of the triple threath mission when we were just about to kill the third stupid ass titan and also it completly took away all my audio from the game.
Fuck bioware for realesing this broken piece of shit and fuck me for buying it.

I keep telling myself that I'm gonna pull back and wait til after the content drops / bug fixes before I keep playing. And yet I keep jumping back in haha. The core gameplay is just so fun.
Hey all, new to the thread, so forgive me if this has been answered already. Even with all the negative press this game has gotten, I've been at least curious to try this game out, just to get an opinion on it. Instead of buying it, I signed up for a month of EA access so I can at least give the trial a taste on my xbox one x. It's downloading now, so it'll be a bit til I can try it, but just wanted to ask if this game has any value as a single player gamer? It's not the I don't like playing games with people sometimes, I just have no friends to speak of to play with.
I did the entire story line solo and never had an issue. After that you'll want to do matchmaking to do the strong holds and probably everything else since it just makes it easier.
I played through all the story missions solo and enjoyed the story and it has some really great characters. Just a warning though some of the missions are tough playing solo.
The 10hr trial is prob best way to go. If you like it you get the discount greater then the 1 month cost and you also get all the other stuff (money in apex ect..).
You can set stuff to solo but I'd recomend leaving at default and just get matched with randoms. You don't really need to communicate, most missions are pretty straight forward and if you get stuck some one will usually find the solution. Also playing with others you will learn the combo systems and other stuff quicker, you can always do free play if you just want to try stuff out.
You won't get to it in the 10hrs but the combat gets a bit interesting post 30 when you start getting master work gear with cool bonus on them, but you will get a good idea of what the game is in the time you got.
I believe its 25. At 10 you get blues, 20 purps, 25 masterworks/legendaries.
Ranger might be my fave. Interceptor was the only one i could complete the multikills part of the tomb quest with.
I just think the Ranger is much more fun being a weapon oriented Javelin. It's abilities almost all at least feal fun, even if they aren't as useful. The intercepter on the other hand doesnt seem to have too many good abilities, and even less fun ones.
I'm sure it's a play style thing, but damn was I disappointed.
Ranger is fun as hell, it's definitely a bit weaker than the rest, but damn does so much of it just feel fun. The flying on that Javelin is the absolute best. The way it rolls, the way the arms go out to stabilize, it all is just fun.
Hey, I didn't have any friends on X1 that bought Anthem, and so I played the first five or so missions solo. Then I what the hell, and decided to play with randoms. A few of them are now friends!
You can play quite alot of it as solo, although one or two towards the end, you may find tricky. Do a few missions solo if you wish, but then try just one with randoms, and then see how you feel!
Interceptor is my favourite Javelin so far. All the skip and hopping makes me feel invincible as I dodge through enemies and combo off Acid Grenades and electric kicks.
