Nobody knows anything. The only thing that really matters is the endgame. They could pull a Destiny 2 or Division and [b]s[/b]hit the bed with content. Or there could be a fun endgame loop with lots of variety and different things to do. Judging by the fact that the game is launching with 3 strongholds and the way the loot system works where you have no idea what you got until you return home and have locked load outs, it doesn’t look promising. I’m guessing Division 2.0 with a hollow world with absolutely nothing to do and bullet sponge enemies.

It’ll die in a year

It was.....Ok Visuals and music were amazing but it feels like a cheaper warframe. Gameplay is.....eh. World is boring, story is boring, and buggy. [spoiler]Praise Calus![/spoiler]

It’s a unfinished game.

A great game that will co-exist happily with Destiny. If you like Destiny strikes then you will love Anthem. If you are a Crucible fan, then it probably isn't for you....

It was great for the 6 hours I was able to play. Mechanics are good, abilities are good...I like that some require quite a bit of learning to use effectively (but are usually the most damaging). The open world had alot of nooks and crannies to explore that aren't listed on the map. Demo was good..excited for full launch. The customization potential looks really promising as well. Alot of people were rightfully upset about server issues...but those issues should happen during a demo/beta, so they can be fixed for launch...there's also alot left out of the demo, so those upset about it lacking...well...it's supposed to be lacking (it's a demo--its only intended to let you dip a toe in).

Just curious was anyone able to beat the giant walking turret that kept producing scars in the free play section

Ignoring the glitches, bugs, and server issues, I'm just going to say my opinion on the gameplay and how much fun I had playing it. Is it bad? No, certainly not. Taking the demo as a test and technical difficulties aside, the game does have moments of excitement that I felt. It took a bit before I understood that guns were not the major damage dealer in this game; that goes to the abilities. And the abilities can be pretty cool. Once I unlocked a second Javelin, I chose the Colossus (as my friend said he'd go with Storm or Interceptor). And I gotta say, playing a Javelin other than the Ranger ups the fun factor. Some good things: - Looks great. I didn't get the weird facial glitch that I saw some others get. The graphics are nice. Customization took a bit for me to understand, but once I did, I quite liked how much I was able to make my Javelin(s) my own. The Fort (which really does feel a lot like Destiny's Tower, but if first person) has an ok feeling of liveliness to it. One nice thing was that walking NPCs will actively move to avoid you if you bump into them; stationary NPCs didn't do this. I am a bit confused as to why only my Javelin is at the Forge. It's like I'm the only Freelancer in the Fort. It felt weird. - Flying is pretty fun. Didn't take me too long to understand the mechanics of flight. Some issues: - The guns all look too similar. It was hard for me to look at the shotguns and distinguish them from the assault rifles. - Enemy AI. They overwhelm you with numbers, mostly. I didn't feel like there was overly cheap accuracy on the enemies. Attacks are telegraphed with a decent amount time so if you are paying attention, you can avoid/block big hits; if you aren't, you get punished. However, they weren't as dynamic as I was hoping. It wasn't easy, as I did die a few times on normal, but again, I feel like it was numbers that did me in instead of intelligent AI. - Team cohesion among matchmade players. This is a double whammy, because by playing the demo I understood that playing this game solo, while possible, probably would not be fun at all. You really do need people to play with. And while it's nice that the matchmaking pairs you with a squad for any activity, for this demo it felt like most people were just acting as lone wolves within a squad. Go in with a party to maximize team cohesion, because you can't trust a matchmade player to set up a combo for you. - Enemy spawning is confusing. I don't understand how they appear. Maybe that will be addressed in the full game. It can be annoying because they can just portal in seemingly anywhere, effectively separating you from your team or ruining a formation. This is just a personal gripe I had, not necessarily something that was ruining anything. - Freeplay feels largely empty. Just perusing the expansive world made me feel that there wasn't alot of action going on outside of the missions. I only found 1 public event while trying Freeplay. Otherwise, I was mostly flying, looking for groups of enemies, of which I didn't seem to find many. Assuming they iron out the kinks (loading screen glitch, despawning enemies, squad formation issues, server space), I can see this game being decently fun. At the same time, I don't see myself purchasing this game after trying it. It does remind me alot of Destiny. Which isn't necessarily a terrible thing; I did get plenty of fun out of Destiny 1. But ultimately I left Destiny, and I could see myself leaving Anthem after awhile too, so I feel like it'd be better for me to just not board the train at all.

I have access to the Demo but haven’t preordered, anyone else have this? Well there are gameplay issues and bugs that need fixed but it’s fun, genuinely fun which is the important part
