Anyone planning on getting anthem
I am dude, that beta was soooo good I can't wait for the next one to start this weekend. I won't have as much time to play but hopefully they'll fix the bugs that was with it.
I preordered it in Dec on Xbox and I played the VIP demo. I was gonna main Colossus but I changed my mind. I'm gonna mostly play as a Storm!
I only tried the Ranger last weekend so I'm gonna try to get the others unlocked this weekend to give them a try.
Honestly. I’m not impressed. Prepare for a rant.
Not trying to hate because I did give it a chance, beating the story and getting to max power playing all the game has to offer even GM3. Keep in mind I main storm.
Heres my thoughts.
The flame/overheat mechanic has got to go. Or needs to be incredibly balanced. Anytime something sneezes on me and I get caught on fire I’m always at 1 health. The effect lasts WAYYY too long and there’s no reason my shields and armor should instantly drain. I can’t fly to effectively escape to safety. I mean the suits are suppose to keep you safe and mitigate temperatures right?
After experiencing all the difficulties with the loot drops, don’t bother playing GM2 or GM3. GM3 has enemies health and damage increased by 3100-3300% - which to me isn’t a difficulty increase, just lazy development. It takes 5-8 minutes to kill the most basic enemies on GM3. While the loot drops are increased, the time invested versus the drops isn’t worth it. Right now GM1 is the best way to farm materials and loot making a third of the game’s difficulty curve absolutely pointless.
Any missions I join that aren’t my own either through the party system or quick play are broken 50% of the time. And even then a solid 20% of my missions are a bust. To add, challenges and achievements/trophies aren’t unlocking, which most other developers have down to a science.
I personally haven’t experienced this, only a game crash back to the home console screen. But I’ve heard about and seen reports of consoles literally being killed by Anthem. The ratio being 75/25 PS4 to Xbox. The game basically improperly powered off consoles which is a big no-no, and can wind up costing the user $$$$ in hardware.
I gave the game a chance. But with so many nitpick things wrong with the game, mechanics that don’t function properly or aren’t balanced, on top of a chance I could lose my console or it be internally damaged - I will soon be uninstalling Anthem. My fiancé and myself both enjoyed the game for what it was while we played it. There were some comical relief moments among other things. Just not that invested to take a chance at something bad happening to my console.
