It's the fact that no one but DICE could work decently with it until EA wanted to make it more modular.

d16aa7 No.16079538
The big problem with the game mecanics is that the player is forced to go back to not-the-Tower to see the loot and modify the loadout. To me these issues and the loading screens during exploration are game breaking. There's a reason why people play Warframe and Destiny: they shoot, they loot, that's all. They never see a loading screen interrupt the flow of their experience.
>>16077859
Because of the shitty flying controls I ended up playing the demo with a gamepad.
The under water sections are a pain in the ass. During a strike (or whatever it's called in Anthem) we had one guy who died because he couldn't the path under water.
>It's actually playable and I didn't experience any bugs.
I only got one infinite loading screen, that's a big improvement over the previous build.
>>16079508
>the actual gameplay and combat was boring and insipid as fuck
The combat also lacks rythm. In these types of games there's usually a certain flow that doesn't make the combat boring. in Anthem each combat sequence takes ages and it's not entertaining. The enemies come out of the rifts from Cisquisition and it's another wave of boring shooting.
The only time I had "fun" was when I unlocked the Storm javelin. It reminded me of the adept class from ME:3 and ME:A.
9be485 No.16079615

I don't even get the point of the tower in anthem, usually it's a social spot to show off and see other people, saw none of that. so it's your own personal "rp" instance to endure cringy marvel-tier dialogs?
as for all the loading screens I suspect the engine simply can't handle it (or it's a side-effect of console limitations). bioware games were always a hacked together mess on a technical level, fixing that is probably way outside their abilities. at least it usually loads pretty fast when going into their lost sectors.
what annoys me more is how slow and outright tedious some shit is. the UI feels clunky and all the transitions and effects makes you spend ages just navigating, the tower itself is offensively annoying how you can only edit and launch at one specific spot, so you're forced to slowly walk halfway across the map every.fucking.time
>The combat also lacks rythm.
imo it wasn't actually that bad. at least guns looked and sounded like actual guns, not that destiny2 softair shit that feels they were designed by someone who closes his eyes whenever there's a gun on screen because GUNS ARE BAD.
the iron man gimmick was done well and adds dynamic, the rifts can work if bioware is smart and makes it so they can spawn all over the place so you're not always fighting in the same 5 spots with the other 90% of the map simple being scenery.
besides that wtf was up with that balance, who had the glorious idea to not give the colossus shields? makes the fucking frontline suit squishy as fuck while also by default requires more micro than just fire and forget like the starter suit.
>each combat sequence takes ages and it's not entertaining.
I assume it will get better later on when people figure out their gear and skills, division had the same issue with people complaining about bullet sponges when shit literally melts with proper gear and focus.

>>16079615
>as for all the loading screens I suspect the engine simply can't handle it
That's what I think too. ME:A had those weird loading spots on the maps where the game would freeze for a few seconds.
>I don't even get the point of the tower in anthem
It's not even a social hub, it's more like the base of operations from The Division. You'll find your NPC quests givers and microtransactions stands. A lot of people complained about the lack of social area so they're going to add one somewhere (they've never thought about having one apparently).
To me this game is like ME:A, it's a bunch of ideas and concepts thrown into an engine that wasn't made for that.
>at least guns looked and sounded like actual guns
True. I wish they would remove the sniper rifle, it doesn't work in that type of environment.
>besides that wtf was up with that balance, who had the glorious idea to not give the colossus shields?
I guess they expect each squad member to play as one of the 4 classes. The Iron Man javelin can spawn a bubble shield, the Storm can make an energy wall.

and with no one having a clue how to properly cook it together. that's what the most annoying about the game (and most AAA in general), it's not fucking rocket science, use gameplay elements that work, put in your non-shit lore as spice, refine it enough to make your own spin - bam, done. but apparently nudevs can't even follow such a simple concept anymore.
>I wish they would remove the sniper rifle, it doesn't work in that type of environment.
hm, why? you'd need something to cover longrange, in a game with guns might as well have something for that. I was actually surprised the ones I found were distinctive enough to not just be another model with different rate/range/recoil/damage but different behaviour. one a smallish charge-explosive, the other full auto (on top the usual). shit was somewhat creative, implemented properly and fun to use, whoever was in charge of that did a good job.
>I guess they expect each squad member to play as one of the 4 classes.
yeah, but even with that I don't see it. why have a shield as gimmick when you're sitting in a bubble (least you can shoot out of it, thanks bungie) or nuking shit from the back.
maybe it gets better later on with proper gear and build, just let me a tanky hulk (that's what the suit implies anyway), but it will be a pain in the ass to get there.

One of the main criticism of Destiny 2 from the "fans" was:
>you want to me to trek across a big-ass map when the AI is brain dead and poses no challenge for the chance to roll something that will make me trek slightly faster next time?
So Anthem decides to innovate by making the maps bigger and the AI dumber. So it's even more time watching NPC's unable to seek cover, NPC's unable to deal with your or their own abilities and best of all, miles upon milles of the same bullet sponges that killed off any interest Destiny had but at least were semi-rare there.
