Pikachu Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Quote In the darkest chapter of humanity’s history, one hero — General Helena Tarsis — rose up to bring us into the light. The brave soldiers who joined her became enshrined in history as the Legion of Dawn. From the seeds of their sacrifice bloomed an entire civilization.

Pvp doesn't really change that, there are definitely PVE builds in MMOs that just about everyone uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Unless the balance is absolutely busted, a "build" means a lot less in a shooter because in theory your ability to actually avoid damage and hit shit is a far bigger factor than whatever skills you picked. Taking the ability with the most DPS won't mean much when you're the dipshit firing it into a wall. Obviously it'll still play a factor, but shooters tend to be a nice middle-ground between MMOs and fighting games, where an MMO is hugely about builds, and a fighting game is dramatically more skill-based but all the characters play differently so finding the "broken" one is viable, whereas a shooter I expect the "character" choice to be pretty slim and the ability choices to not be terribly influential on actually affecting gameplay.

There are PVP builds, but there are plenty of PVE builds to maximize DPS or ability usage so that you can solo high end activities or for team synergy.

I played a shit ton of the Division and most of the builds that were widely used were for PVP. There were some popular builds for PVE but there was definitely more diversity on builds when doing PVE stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 It also comes down to the amount of mobility. The Division is a realistic-ish cover shooter, so you're always grounded and moving slowly, thus aim isn't too huge of a factor unless you're that one streamer... The higher the mobility (and the slower the projectiles, if that's a factor) the higher the skill ceiling and the less relevant builds are. I do hope the game has a lot of slower projectile weapons, with some hitscan-ish stuff as an alternative for folks who don't like slower projectiles. Landing a slow ass rocket on some dude a hundred yards away is always a great feeling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALIEN-gunner Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Just like The Division and I believe Warframe, Anthem is smart to include matchmaking for all modes, something Bungie still fails at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mass Effect games were strong, largely based on the quality of their story-telling. There combat was only "average" IMHO. If they are giving up on the area that made their previous games special, I'm not holding out much hope for Anthem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that in these "ongoing" games nothing of consequence can really happen to the world. I have never felt truly engaged by the storytelling in any similar game and I think it would take major structural evolution for one of these games to even approach the lackluster story standards of a singleplayer AAA game.
