The story is not the greatest, but interesting to keep me reading it all.
It's a nice bonus when not doing the missions.

2 times no audio after shooting the gun, 4 crashes and sometimes the game doesn't react to mouse and keyboard. Seriously i'am playing an early access game -.-

It doesn't, I already saw a twitch stream for that.

I feel like 1/4 or 1/5 of the gameplay I watch is people either running around in Fort Tarsis picking up quests, being in their inventory or are in a loading screen of some sort. Maybe it changes at "end game" but it looks a whole lot less fun than The Division 2 to me and that says a lot considering I played the beta of TD2 and it was fairly generic. |
Is it always online? Maybe inventory data is stored online always. Weird way to do it though.

Alright, finished this piece of shit. On with my "review"
Story:
Garbage. Villains don't get ANY screentime, i think the main villain had 10 lines in the entire game, other bad guys get mentioned once then never again (Like the evil human doctor at the beginning of the game, in the intro), characters just disappear entirely from the story. No twists, no mystery no intrigue, everything reads like a cheap diner menu.
Storytelling:
UTTER GARBAGE. Who's great idea was to tell the story by means of conversations in the city hub? Nonsense! Everybody goes on and on about meaningless bullshit, it feels like Bioware has been drinking its own koolaid for far too long. The only sort of fun character are the ones from the demo, the 3x Matthias. otherwise, holeeeee shit the amount of cringe in this game.
Gameplay:
Go to point A kill creeps collect cannisters Go to point B kill creeps Go to point C kill boss. Would be fine, IF the damned mobs weren't so repetitive and generic. There's some enemy types in the game that only appear once or twice, and unfortunately there's pretty much no distinction between any enemies, everyone is too small too so most of the times it feels like you're fighting stick figures.
The AI is GARBAGE, it literally just either A: Runs towards you or B: Runs past you and turns around to shoot you.
Flying is ALSO severely impaired by the fact that you need to constantly be watching the fucking objective marker, and the fucking jetpack bar. I can't take my eyes off for a second since i'll overheat and crash like an idiot so basically even though i've played through the entire game, all i can say about it is that there's a few waterfalls, you go into the water twice, and everything is green.
Weapons feel like shit too, and they sound repetitive as fuck, there's no weight to anything, the enemies dont even have some sort of physics when you shoot them in the face with a rocket, they just fall down as if they weigh a ton. Shotguns work in the following manner: You click, half a second later the pellets fly, one WHOLE second later damage gets applied to the enemy and he clumps down to the floor. I have felt no satisfaction killing anything in the 20 hours i put into this gameplay.
Audio:
What audio? There's hardly any music, garbage soundtrack, audio cutting out randomly, the only mission to actually have some sort of theme was the last one, and guess what, it only played in the loading screen. At one point my phone alarm went off in the other room, it's one of those 2 tone alarms, and i genuinely thought it was the game's soundtrack for like an hour.
Loading screens:
Guys above werent exaggerating, lucky im playing this on borderless fullscreen and reading reddit or some shit while the game loads 10 times per mission.
Graphics:
Everything is green or brown or blue. Mostly everything blends together in shit paste. Enemy models are repetitive as fuck, sick of killing little red stick figures with crab heads, or little green men with yellow visors, or little orbs of light, or giant grey men that shoot fire on a 10 second cooldown and take 15 minutes to kill due to the 10 HP bars. I've just described all of the enemy variety in the game, it's all you'll be killing for 20hours.
A+ FUCKING MOTION CAPTURE ON THE CHAPS IN THE CITY THOUGH. They fixed character faces and fucked everything else.
I'd be angry for the purchase of a month of premier if it werent for the fact that i can play a few other games till the month ends, so all in all, eh, at least i'm getting my moneys worth.
Bioware is dead to me, i'd hoped andromeda was just bad due to being outsourced to whatever, but i sincerely doubt the guys that made mass effect 1-3 are the guys that made anthem. What the fuck.
Now if you'll excuse me, i gotta go wash my eyes out with bleach.
Edit: Oh shit i forgot to mention the PUZZLES
This game has the most insulting puzzles i've ever played in my life. To exemplify:
You've got a couple of blocks with symbols on each face and you need to match them with, yes, you guessed it, the symbols that are RIGHT BEHIND THEM. I SHIT YOU THE FUCK NOT.

Well, yes. Personally, i prefer to reserve my judgement (and execution) until after i've played the game, and hope for the best before that.
I am being objective, even between expletives. And even after this review, i'm still hoping that they'll fix up the game and add more varied content to it in the years to come. As it stands now though, it's a garbage story with garbage gameplay. They can't fix the story, but they can at least add the parts that make it a looter shooter, as right now, loot is meaningless, all it is is an extra +1 every mission.

ppl dont feel the need to play the game anymore since EA has a certain way of doing things so ppl have low expectations and a prejeduice against them that usually comes true.
Ofc it's always healthier to at least try a beta/demo or something else or waiting for outlets but I'd say the beta was enough to show where this was going.
Not saying the game is particularly bad but i think i mentioned before that this is probably just another coop shooter with no endgame and less content so they can sell more later.

I did try the demo by the way. And the demo was fine, problem is that the full game doesn't offer anything over it, no other skills to unlock, no other suits of armor, no other weapon types, no mission variety, nothing. The only humor in the game is from the same mission in the demo, with the triplicate Matthias.
And things i'd have wanted fixed since, like the lack of text chat for christ sakes, or the lack of clans, are still not in here in the full game.
I remember the E3 video announcing this with the people in game constantly talking about what to do and who's doing what and whatever, and my experience has been complete silence and people spamming emotes trying to get each others attention to some sort of critical task.
Sad turn of events, really.

Tbh i really dont get why companies kneecap themselves with stuff like that.
The framework seems solid they just need to fill it but thats what they rarely do unfortunately.

Thank you.

Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

damn reviewers are not happy ... more in the thread following that tweet

Or this | Quote: | | There's a large roadblock in Anthem's campaign that more or less forces you to spend hours completing in-game challenges (get 50 kills with ult, find 20 treasure chests, rez 3 players, etc) before you can continue and I can't believe this game is what it is. |
