The biggest thing I've taken from this stream and the last one is that the legs look weird. Definitely something I'll have to get use to.

Oh man, thats a customisation menu I can get lost in.. Especially assigning different customisation to different loadouts. Great stuff.

So 20€ to get 3 extra skins. I'm liking this game less and less.

I guess that's part of the reason they avoided giving any info on how you acquire these customisation options outside of the LoD ones, better not reveal too much mtx at once.

Yeah, they've already said you can buy or earn customizations for all things.

So yes there will be MTX for customization but you can also earn it in-game.

Christ, N7 fits Ranger like a glove.


Also, personalization and customization in this game are two different things, this was a personalization stream. In case they announce a customization stream in the upcoming weeks and it leaves people puzzled, a customization stream would showcase customizing abilities/weapons, etc.

The UI looks rather slick, impressed with what I saw.

The customization is pretty impressive but it is also very obvious most of color/texture stuff will be part on a MTX system or part of many special editions of the game; Which in and of itself is find IF majority of them is in the base game.

As a long time Warframe player, I am always tempted to jump on the day 1 train. I was actually very hyped for it when this was first announced but I choose to tune myself out just so I can approach the game with a clear mind. Until I learn more on how this $60 title will be monetized, it will probably remain that way.

So, with all the N7 stuff, is Bioware making this within the same universe as Mass Effect because nthat would be amazing.

I'm just joking, I know it's just a nod but it would be pretty cool

Just watched the video.

Holy moly, that's a lot of customization options. Destiny is child's play compared to this.

Not shown in the video: the prompts to insert money for every cosmetic.

I am sorry but I am pessimistic as fuck about this whole enchilada being used for anything other than to drive monetisation.

Have they confirmed that there are Javelin parts and gears that change the default looks? Like a different helmet or gloves?

Yes, the entire point of preordering and getting the special edition is extra cosmetic armour pieces.

Alright, I see. But I meant more in the lines of gear, loot that you can get from enemies, like a helmet from some giant robot or something, or even collecting materials to craft new Javelin pieces. A bit afraid when they say theres power and looks, and that it means loot you get from the game only changes stats.

No, you can get helmets and shit as loot from enemies but they'll only be cosmetic. The stats changing gear is all internal i.e you would get "engine of the eclipse" vs "armor of the eclipse" and it would give you +2 to defense or whatever.

You can get "active gear" like missile launchers and wrist cannons and stuff that do both though.

Loot also changes the appearance of the javelin

Knowing the last BioWare releases - even the good ones like ME3 and DAI - the usual effect is similar to Destiny but worse in a sense. While Destiny runs out of substantial content, everything that's there from a coding and polish standpoint is superb. BioWare releases are buggy and usually get rushed out the door before they're properly finalized. I remember Mass Effect 3 had heads turning 360 degrees in cutscenes at launch and Inquisition had key scenes in which the dialogue wheel would not show up and cause the game to break unless you tapped the "skip" button super fast throughout the whole scene, it's just not up to snuff in that regard.

And first they had that livestream where graphics were accidentally turned down and they showed off emotes where they clap their fingers through their hands. The most recent livestream looked better but so did Inquisition's gameplay showcases prior to launch, and yet, there were so many issues in the details when it shipped, things that just irritate you as you go through it, and that was the Edmonton studio. Again, ME3 was no different IMO and also made by the same.

They might find a better formula than Destiny for live-service goodness but I'm really not looking forward to the way Anthem inevitably has head-shake-worthy bugs every couple of minutes. I really hope they surprise me but at the same time I feel like I know the studio's output so well at this point that I know exactly what it's going to be, and a lot of problems come from shoddy programming and things that are hardcoded rather than systematically well thought out.

Yeah pretty much. The concept looks really cool but it's a Bioware release so needs to be approached with caution.

In fact it looks like a high budget Warframe ripoff which is actually fine by me.

Yes! they took my favourite part of Inquisition with materials and fabrics, really awesome. I'm gonna make a power ranger especially with that emote.

Also seems Bioware debunked the rumor of Anthem being delayed
https://www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheG...nthem_delayed_guy_leaked_information_sony_e3/
Wouldn't be the first time a developer of a game debunks a rumor/leak and the person with insider info turns out to be right, really hope it isn't true but this is hardly reassuring.

Hope the PC release isn't delayed, at least, but if it ever happens it'll probably a simultaneous delay unfortunately.

the thing is that all the changes he made in the video looked like different forms of generic. i haven't seen a single cool looking character yet. they're all kind of ugly.

With the power of the options here, it's in your hands as to how cool they look.

Way better than Destiny imo where all 3 classes look so similar visually, low bar I guess, but the colossus is vastly different from the others.

It's just a pity there will be nowhere to show off, considering there is no player hub in Anthem.
