[ IGN First] Anthem: 10 Minutes of Hidden Depths Gameplay
- Thread starter dex3108
- Start date
Looks like there's a pretty decent variety of enemies, which is really important for this type of game.
This is the main reason im hyped for this and not the division. Division have what? Humans and thats it. There will be crazy creatures and bossfights in Anthem
Yea same, this game killed any interest I had in The Division 2. I need the giant boss fights.
The combat feels/looks very mass effect like, but yea this definitely isn't a mass effect seqeul.
A crappy Ranger tho and then you get upgraded to a real suit at level 2 and you can choose what to use. Iirc.
Looked awesome.
I was trying to pay attention to difficulty a little and every time they switched to a different player they all were very low health and getting harassed by enemies.
I can imagine that the difficulty setting wasn't that high which is a good thing as they have so many different settings for mission replay-ability and loot quality.
Is this more of the same stuff we've seen? Or is there something interesting to get from watching this?
More the same. If you want see new mission the go for it, but when it comes to core gameplay loop and general gameplay there is nothing new to see.
Yeah, it kind of makes me think of Andromeda. At least no overly stupid jokes so far.
Not sure wich footage you watching. From 4 min on when they go underwater to the cave and the bossfight after that they get rushed like crazy by enemies.
IIRC on one of the dev streams it was stated that repeat runs of the game's dungeons/missions/whatever will have the chatter reduced, seeing as you already know the story and what to do.
this
i am tired of this run of the mill standard gameplay, i want to see something more exciting which shows strategies or tactics in a hard encounter, what can we expect in this regard?
everything they showed was like standard MMORPG grunts getting destroyed while doing not much. i really hope the higher level stuff requires tactics or good synergies between the team members
Iron man flying around, shooting stuff and grabbing loot. That's about it!
I get that part, there's just something about the overall package that does absolutely nothing for me. I wish I could put my finger on it.
It would be great if they released a video of a team just getting overwhelmed and SMACKED after a bit haha
I think Anthem is a perfect example of "try the demo and see". I am a lootwhore by nature, so the loot in Anthem and the build possibilities just strikes a cord with me. Ultimately it depends on how good all of that is and if I keep playing it.
In terms of the enemies, I hope people were saying the same things about Borderlands, most of Destiny's enemies, The Division, and even other loot games like Diablo where most enemies are a complete pushover and typically just stand there or charge at you. The only challenging enemies in these games are the elites and bosses... and the boss in this video looks amazing with so many adds and AoE effects all over the room and weak points that must be hit with some precision to even put a dent in him!
What I mean is can the "radio effect" be disabled from the start? I don't need ear piercingly terrible radio effect emulation in a future-based TPS.
People are way too critical of this game, many have already made their mind up that this game is not good. Same trend in every thread, another game which gets panned is Days Gone for some reason.
I think the game looks a lot of fun, I'll buy provided it's not too grindy.

This is a GaaS. It will be a massive time sink to get the full experience and I'm skeptical it will be worth the time. Not saying it sucks.
That's the problem with these on-going games designed to be played indefinitely. Most people don't have time to devote to multiple of these at once. You best believe it will be extremely grindy. That's the type of game it is.
Oh, that Ninja robot gameplay is the first time this game has looked like it could be fun to play. The other ones just seem too clunky & boring, from what I've watched. Not that heavier robots can't be fun, but how they've looked like in Anthem has been pretty boring.
Most likely bungie did the in-game lore since they hire people like Seth J. Dickinson and they have other internal writers
The lore in Destiny has always been interesting, the storytelling and delivery in game of said lore has been trash until forsaken
Idk I thought The taken king's story was pretty cool since it incorporated the raid and it had quests, they did a fine job with forsaken but man it was heartbreaking not to hear nathan fillion again.
Well yes true enough. Bottom line though bungie haven't been great at delivering story in game for the most time. If BioWare wants to succeed, especially since they are going pve only, they should really double down on story like FFXIV does.
Man yeah really! And to me it was very easy to hear it wasn't him in the role anymore.
Looks to have way more depth and variety than pretty much anything else in the looter shooter genre while also playing super smoothly and looking outstanding. We'll see with the demo/full game though. Other loot shooters are limited by their setting in the case of the Division or arbitrary design decisions in the case of Destiny.
I love the idea of this game. mech suit iron man looter shooter, but the actual combat gameplay looks way too close to crappy mass effect combat for me to get super amped about it.
destiny has it's issues, but the reason it works is the combat design is so good.

Seems to be. In the IGN footage, that's the closest I've seen someone playing come to death.
That's another thing. Haven't seen too much for what is seemingly a looty mcshooty. If the pursuit of the lewt ain't there, then that's a pretty big blow to longevity.
This is what I was thinking...have those tuber vids come out yet?
Van Bur3n This is a bit pedantic but I saw someone go into a downed state on either Datto's or Arekkz's videos. The streamer revives them, but it's over with little fuss so fairly easy to miss. It was in the very first "easy" mission I think, with only a few enemies in an outdoor area. I assume something weird happened or they got shot while they were in menus or something.
Loot wise - I don't think the loot will be interesting in the way Destiny's is (unique look and affects), I think it will be interesting like Diablo 3's is (unique set bonuses and getting the perfect combination of 4 random perks). I think the cool look and effects will come from cosmetic item drops as opposed to specific gear drops.
IMHO Anthem will be a third person version of Diablo 3, it's not a third person version of Destiny.
