We had a thread about a week ago which showed off riveting walking and talking, but apparently there was another broadcast wherein Bioware devs demonstrated the gripping gameplay, such as:
>flying at a moderate speed
>shooting with slow, weak-sounding guns at bullet sponge enemies
>wandering around a giant, lifeless game world to trigger a procedurally generated random event
>dressing their characters up to look like rent-a-cops or UK metro cops
>listening to a metrosexual englishman narrate information already relayed to you in pop-ups
>walking around and finding glowing orbs, then walking back to a central point
>being hit by unavoidable hitscan weapons
>encountering different factions, each one of which has palette-swapped versions of the player characters' suits because enemy design is really hard
It's just so boring. There isn't too much to laugh at, but I thought people should know since Anthem was radio silent for about a year. From what I have seen, they should have kept it that way.

I know you are mostly joking, and while things such as sound effects can be improved easily, things like the "weight" of the mechs, which impacts, how they move around, how they fly, how they decelerate stop mid-air like it's nothing is something that was decided upon during the initial stages of game design/animation. If you look in the video, the mechs can move around, and suddenly stop midair, or make a 90 degree turn, without slowing down a bit or having some back thrusters, or how they can perfectly land on the ground, instead of rolling in the dirt like it's GTA 4, because of how fast they were moving at an angle. I am not saying that all of these are great ideas, but they really should have put more focus on the animation department, because these mechs feel like agile humans with magic powers, instead of Iron Man.
And I know someone will bitch that I used the word "mech" instead of "power armor" or something else.

I gotta say, it's a stream with the primary audio being the guys talking. Every other sound is muted to some degree, which is why you're not getting a good feedback on the guns or anything really.
It's stupid on their part, but it's not accurate to judge it based on what we heard with this stream.
>I was hoping for actual skills
They seem to actually have Skills. The Storm suit could throw a lightning bolt, drop lightning in an area and set up a "wind barrier", as well as the ultimate.
It seems to be the standard 3 skills + Ultimate that you'd expect from most games.
I'm upset but I'll probably pirate it anyway. There's really not many games about just flying around in large open areas without stupid limitations on your movement like only gliding or having to use jumppads or dumb shit like that.
Dark Void and Gat out of Hell reallly were quite something just for this aspect alone and I don't know any other like it.

I doubt it. Warframefags already have their niche and would hate not being able to sanic. Destinyfags were cynical enough that Destiny 2 flopped, and even Destiny's combat looked better than this trash.
The marketing is getting more attention than I thought it would given how not even normalfags reacted when it was first announced, but even with all the upboats (which are likely inflated by bots), the top comments are chock full of fresh cynics who finally realized they were being served shit on a plate after the combined scandals of Battlefront 2 and Androgyny.
The Fallout 76 trailer has 33 million views and Country Roads became an ebin meme amongst normalfags for ages, but look how poorly that's selling. All the big publishers have been slapping their normalniggers a little too hard lately, and now they're actually being cautious about their purchases.

>Flight sims?
It's not the same thing.
The point is that you shift perspective every time you land\lift off, from a closer third\first person to a flying sim and vice versa changing the scale of the entire world in a very fluid way.
Dark Void for instance has very large open areas where it's a joy to fly around, but you can go towards an enemy ship or landmark and when you land the action scales down to what's happening there and you can take off at anytime.
I wish there were more flight sims where you could also come out of your plane\ship and do sections on foot.
>There's an overheat bar, and if you run out of shields while flying then you crash.
That's fine, not really a problem. The Overheat seems to have a mechanic with water to keep going further and it lasts for a very long time anyway, while the Shields dropping you when they run out is a balancing measure for combat.
But neither of this really hampers your flight most of the time, it just makes it so that in combat, you have to be tactical about it.
Kind of like the early moments of Gat out of Hell where you have limited stamina and you gotta understand the trade between altitude and speed, so you get that stamina is just a boost, and it makes flying a more involved activity overall with some thinking added to it.
699f1d No.15863706
>>15863676
Divinity 2 does something like this, but kinda fucks up some things. Once you get dragon form, you can go fuck up things that were landmarks as a human; however, there is apparently only one fight in the entire game where you can fight enemies you fight on foot as a dragon. I also wouldn't exactly call it a joy to fly around.
9406f4 No.15863720
>>15863706
Yeah, I tried it too. Jumping to Dragon Form and seeing everyone just fade out is really stupid, it's like having two games running in paralell.
I was expecting that, the moment you get Dragon Form, the enemies you find are equipped to deal with dragons, mounting long range ballistas or releasing monsters after you and retreating inside, forcing you to take a human form to go after them.
The flying was just standard movement around and that was it. Aer and Gat so far have been some of the best flying mechanics I've seen. Dark Void can feel finnicky at times, sadly, but it's a jetpack so it's expected.

Gotta grind in all those other games too, in fact you have to grind significantly more. Beat mission 2 of 4.1 a couple times on inferno and you're pretty much set for the rest of the game.

Yeah, I'm not really liking that shit. Even coming from someone that unironically likes Overwatch, it's a completely cancerous how much they seem to insist on it with all the prompts.
Warframe has "ultis" too in the sense that the 4th ability tends to be the strongest one (most of the time) but it's not as obnoxious as this shit.
I suppose it's an upgrade to Borderlands, since besides your Main Skill, you have 3 minor ones to change the gameplay around a bit besides shooting guns, but I'm not seeing this as being worth 60$ or even 40$.

Not quite. They did eventually cave and allow Vacuum to be used on all sentinels which extends to the new Moa companions as well. Only recently however have animal companions been given a strictly inferior version. This entire time it's been asked why they don't just make vaccum the default and universal. They said no, but haven't even given a reason why. They are still a bunch of stubborn idiots who only fix things when it's convenient for them.

ME2 was actually surprisingly competent for what it was. ME1 had a lot less character interaction, made the one good character Ashley the ugliest bitch in the galaxy, made Kaiden soy incarnate, the Krogan an articulate murderhobo, and the other two aliens were basically mutes outside of an elevator. The only one that was arguably any decent was Liara and she was basically walking exposition who had the only benefit of being "a cute".
Mass Effect was shit from 1 onwards but at least 2 realised that its fate was pretty much hardlocked into "shitty waifu simulator" and just focused on that instead of the uninteresting RPG elements and the space opera which admittedly could've been the most interesting part of the series and actually redeemed it somewhat
ME3 somehow managed to make the barely serviceable characters either sparse enough to not matter or so absolutely poz filled that any interaction was guaranteed to give you superaids.
The only thing I'm pissed that they fucked up was Dragon Age. One had serviceable gameplay and decent character interaction even if the characters themselves were mostly shit. Two was one of the bigger clusterfucks but at least had the Qunari to keep shit interesting. I'm not even gonna mention CISquisition.
TBH all of the games sucked ass and the only reason I even defend ME2 is because Tali is a cute.

Warframe and Destiny are very different games.
Warframe is Third Person, Destiny is First Person (With third person for melee weapons and in the hub zone.)
Warframe is a game were you grind to unlock new toys and upgrade existing ones. (New Frames - weapons - etc.)
Destiny is a kind of RPG-lite were you play some campaigns then work towards raids.
I sometimes play Destiny for the aesthetics and lore and that atmosphere that you can only get in a Bungie game, but all of that is mostly subjective stuff.
Each has different strengths and weaknesses. They're both good and not really comparable gameplay or design wise, but because poorfags/piratefags get an orgasm arguing that the free game is better than the super expensive game everyone will continue to compare them anyways.
Since I despise Third Person Shooters I don't play Warframe that often because I don't find the melee more appealing than other melee systems I've played.
I'll also be avoiding Anthem like the plague for being a TPS with what looks like no melee weapons.

The HUD, you eventually get used to it but yeah. I never got why Devs don't just push it to the border of the screen, there's a lot of space between the border and the HUD that's being wasted.

D2 was made free to get for two weeks, even being sent to anyone with a battle.net account. While serving to push the not-season-pass called Anual Pass, were 25% of it is free for people that dont own it and 100% of it will be free at the end of 2019.
Forsaken was sold with the other two shitty DLCs in a bundle, with a choice to get it with Anual Pass, making the kikery less visible since Forsaken + 2 DLCs plus 25% of the Anual Pass gives "enough" content.
tl: dr Bungie was desperate, relied on free-tards and buyfags getting the only decent DLC it managed to release and the not-season-pass of semi-exclusive paid online events.

warframe's only purpose is to squeeze a few dollars off of new shitters with sub 100 hours that cant get pass the grind wall. if you spend money then you will start to "enjoy" the "game". after 250 hours and you have decent loadouts your goal is to basically go touch everything DE has shat out in the past 5 years if you dont plan on quitting and waiting for the "next big thing". everything else is a buggy as fuck mess. you got a problem? dont bother reporting it because now you arent the majority, the majority wants more skins and little stuff animals the place in their ship right next to their fish tank. you are not locked inside the skinnerbox until you hit max rank. the more you play the game the more you will hate it and its incomplete developers while you wonder why the company is focusing on unrelated bullshit rather than fixing stuff that has been broken for actual years. They went out of their way to make an arcade fighting gamemode everyone forgot about in a weeks time after they stopped shilling. match making is still broken its only one map the way you unlock frames is only to populate the dead start chart because everyone is only doing xp and farm nodes. Lets talk about fortuna since thats whats everyone is still talking about for some reason. the player cap it 100k. and it went back to lower than average numbers 2 weeks later as people just figured out its a copypaste of their previous big update but with even less content because they plan to spread it as thin as possible intill Q2 of next year. The fucking trailer for the damn update stained more players than the actual update. Whats the content for the rest of the month? a piss boss fight people will figure out in a single day all the while dodging bugs they didnt fix since they pushed the update to a friday. more stuff animals cause lol XD. Final a 290$ frame just with gold bits on the arms and legs. people will buy it day one. people will just stand outside of relays showing off the money they just wasted and then DE will just shill that frame until the next. did you know they cut short the previous prime access just to get mesa in during the holiday? this will be their biggest profit margin of the year why even care about how fortuna did. and they probably plan on doing it a 3rd time for next year but with the infested.

This last one is most damning, personally:
<guy in chat asks how people of radically uneven levels will be partied
>devs reply "without getting into it, the enemies and players will deal scaled damage to one another, so it'll work out"
I'm intepreting this as him saying the game will look at a player's level and - instead of using the actual damage numbers you customized yourself - calculate what percentage of enemy health it would be "most fun" for you to deal, and just do that instead.
I genuinely can't fathom how you could design a less interesting combat system. The entire thing has seemingly been built from the ground up to obfuscate player agency.

Because it's often made to look good instead of functional. In the minds of those that draw it, it's nothing but Super Heavy Armor, so they'll add tons of pieces on top of it with weird geometry to give it weight and then finish off with a few belts and pouches so it looks "military".
Meanwhile, japs design power armor based around the idea of robots and utility, which is why they look bulky, less human and are chock full of extra armaments to use, like extra sensors, jetpacks, mounted rockets and cannons.
Japs know the true purpose of power armor is to turn one infantry into mobile artillery, with a wide array of powerfull guns you couldn't use except if it was mounted on a tank, but thanks to the power armor frame and servomotors, you can strap it to someone's back and have him jetpack around while shooting missiles.
West knows only that a Power Armour can take 100x more bullets to kill who's inside and that's it.

TF1 was kind of rushed, and basically CoD with mech killstreaks and wall running. The movement "system" was less forgiving, but also less interesting because the only way you could gain speed was wall running and the only way to preserve it was to time your jumps carefully (it was not bunny hopping, despite what the community called it). The customization was also poorly designed, because the best option was to strap the biggest gun to the fastest mech, so that's all you saw in most games.
I can't speak for TF2's population, but it's usually had a pretty small, dedicated community. As long as you aren't a total autist, you should be able to meet someone and regroup for further games. The lack of ranked matchmaking or any sponsored tournaments also saved it from tourneyfags.
>But I hear TF3 was being developed and I'm looking forward to it, don't want to miss TF a third time.
Respawn was bought by EA earlier this year, and their latest project was a mobile-only Titanfall-branded chinkclicker pseudo-RTS tower defence game. The series will probably die with the third game, given EA's track record. Now is the time to begrudingly give EA your money in exchange for a game better than anything they've sponsored in the last 10 years and play it if you're interested in the series.

>>15882147
I think what he means is that TF1's story was more about two sides of a conflict, whereas the IMC in TF2 are explicitly shown to be evulz for the sake of evulz. It's less nuanced - then again, it has actual gameplay, so I'll take the trade. There are also people who are still butthurt about the titan classes rather than customizable chassis, but that mostly stems from them not experimenting.

That's fair, and it's a common trend among many mecha enthusiasts I've noticed in the various mecha threads on /v/ and /vg/. I can't say I feel the same way, though - I like the aesthetics of mecha, but I've never enjoyed customization too much since it usually gets in the way of the actual gameplay. I like the feeling of seeing a titan's silhouette and knowing when he's liable to use his abilities, and how I counter him (since I'm usually playing Ion) by timing my own abilities or shots.

gameplay looks fine
but theres something offputting about studio so remembered for its storytelling making such generic soulless destiny clone

I will never get this about normalfaggots ,Why even play?,most of these subhumnas never explore things like for exapmple"I wonder what If I shot the electric cannon into the water,would it kill the deer standing in the water", I have never seen anybody other than me do something like that when playing video games
So if you aren't exploiting game mechanics and you can't plan things to outsmart your enemies,and games now more often don't have PVP, how can this be any different than sitting on facebook for them?
Why pick up a hobby that you don't intend to spend a drop of effort on,Most players don't read guides or watch youtube,99% don't check the controls scheme and about the same don't press everything to check what does what instead they will spam the chat with "which button for X",and what angers me the most is people that think "I didn't spend X amount of time in this game" is an excuse when they don't use even the most basic aspects like
Flanking,planning,cover&concealment,high ground,bouncing a granade of a wall to get it where you want it
You can't expect me to treat them like fellow humans
And some will come after me saying "you care about games to much",I assume they act the same way outside of the game and I wouldn't trust any of them with a fucking fork

>Tencent.
There is a rumor,not sure if they confirmed it that China is going to ban almost all Blizzard games and a lot of games in general,but then why would Diablo Immortal exist so we will see
And isn't Tencent a front company for the China version of the NSA+CIA ,I think I read it once that the party basically owns it and uses it to spread around the world like USA used MC Donalds
only that all Tencent's software actually spies on you

To kill time and stave away the realization of how hollow is your existence as a normalfag I presume.
read a normalfag review hitman 2016 and it went along the lines of
>Hurr durr, I did all the opportunities (literally handholding you all the way to a kill) and the gaem's boring now, what do?

This game honestly has the worst aesthetic world and character design i have ever seen, it's so incredibly bland and boring.

I put about 100 hours in TF1 and completed TF2 campaing on a pirate,to me the most fun part of the game is the flow and smoothness,Disembark mid sprint,set Titan to follow,jump into a build through the window,shoot one faggot,kick the other,jump out of the window,embark back to Titan mid air,I also used SID voice to understand the warnings when under fire and used Atlas-Damage Core, 40mm Cannon build

Notice how all the foreign games they suckered idiots into making appealing to China all got banned but the ones they themselves developed only got "corrective action" charges.

You'd think they would be thankful to not have to deal with chinks anymore but I guess the high horse needs to be ridden daily.

China main doctrine is economical nationalism.
Of course if they have a national champion (tencent) they're gonna do everything in their power to boost it.
Trying to appeal to a market that is NOT an open market is retarded.
Clown world.
