[quote]I agree that it looks like a polished Warframe but it seems like a Diablo 3 loot endgame.[/quote] Looks can be deceiving.

The closed Alpha played like it looks. Beta right around the corner so you can see for yourself. The game is nothing like Destiny in anyway, shape or form at this point. Need more info on the endgame. It was fun gameplay though.

I played the closed alpha. While there are some superficial similarities to Warframe, that is not a fair description of how that rough-draft played. ...and is really not fair based on what they are showing to the public now on the eve of the VIP beta. Fact is that there is NOTHING out there right now that is really like it. [quote]The game is nothing like Destiny in anyway, shape or form at this point. Need more info on the endgame.[/quote] Disagree. But going into detail about the ways in which it is similar would break the NDA, and I don't need any grief from Bioware or EA.

What? There is nothing to go into details about. We had a small patrol area and a story mission period. Are you just arguing with me to argue at this point. The game is more like Warframe gameplay wise. From the loot reveal the loot system looks more like Diablo. We have no idea if there are Raid type activity, we know there are lost sector type strongholds. The only Destiny comparison is space shooter which is a bs comparison because one is third person.

Raids are suppose to arrive later as they are not ready yet.

Yeah? Is that part of the free story content? We don't have any idea. PvP is now on the horizon now also.

Destiny will stick around, as it is not a totally bad game. Just frustrating as all hell. I go through phases with it. Hard core, get done, then not touch it for months. Anthem has the ability to be good, but, time will tell.

I'd love to get done but I try to get everything. I'm really hoping Anthem will be great. I've been hoping for a game to play long term along wirh Destiny to come around maybe Anthem will be the one.

[quote]What? There is nothing to go into details about. We had a small patrol area and a story mission period.[/quote] You may not care to honor the NDA, but I'm going to. But if that's all you got out of the experience, then I'm afraid you kind of missed the point. [quote]Are you just arguing with me to argue at this point.[/quote] No. [quote]The game is more like Warframe gameplay wise.[/quote] Only because its THIRD person. The game play mechanics have almost NOTHING else in common with Warframe beyond that. [quote] From the loot reveal the loot system looks more like Diablo. [/quote] That's true of EVERY loot-based game ever created. [quote]We have no idea if there are Raid type activity, we know there are lost sector type strongholds.[/quote] Bioware has already confirmed that there will be raid-like activities in the future....and what they've described for strongholds sounds more like a Shattered Throne style dungeon than a "lost sector". [quote]The only Destiny comparison is space shooter which is a bs comparison because one is third person.[/quote] No. The similarities are that both are loot-based RPGs. Built upon a sci-fiction/fantasy base (technology plus magic). Both offering an experience based on a super-heroesque power-fantasy. Unlike Destiny---since Anthem will not have to worry about "balancing" PvP....because there won't be any----Anthem will be free to lean MUCH more heavily into that power-fantasy. As well as get MUCH more creative in doing it. Bungie---to their credit---is very aware of this and have been positioning Destiny to protect their flank. For the last year everything they've done with the game has been about ramping Destiny's power-fantasy and sense of power-progression within the limits of what this game's scaffolding would allow. Bottomline: If you randomly sample what my PVE clan is playing when they aren't playing Destiny...it isn't other FPSs. Its games like this....which is why Anthem is positioning itself to be serious competition for Dsetiny's PVE player base. And why Bungie----wisely---isn't hyping up that threat....but clearly isn't ignoring it either. Its why Trials is still in mothballs....and I wouldn't expect to see it leave mothballs until either next fall. If EVER. Because the demands for balance by competitive PVP players would cripple the PVE power-fantasy once again....and at a time when this franchise can ill-afford to do so.

I guess you missed the Anthem PvP article that came out yesterday. If you got more out of that technical test I'm happy for you. Destiny isn't a loot/rpg....but we already discussed this to death.
