skillzdadirecta Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 Game is running well on Xbox now. Seems like the issues are resolved for the most part. I just did a mission that wasn't in the alpha that was pretty dope. They seem to be getting out in front of the rocky start yesterday http://blog.bioware.com/2019/01/26/anthem-vip-demo-update/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Still stuck at the loading screen. The loading screen is overpowered if you ask me. It needs to be nerfed. I haven’t defeated it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you shut down the game and go back in, it should tell you that you already have an expedition started and if you'd like to rejoin. Do that and it should work. I repeated that several times and it worked every time. As for my time with it, I really enjoyed it. I think it'll be a great game, a lot of fun and it has a tonne of potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALIEN-gunner Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Without work-arounds the loading screen is RNG based but weighted with a 90% chance of getting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I got the hang of things like understanding where to go to and whatnot I had a fucking blast. The battles were intense and I love the gun play and grenades. Also like the melee. Felt really good stepping into a enemy and just slicing them. I wish my teammates had mics. Would have been fun discussing the game while we played. It’ll be lots more fun with friends in a squad. But after using @Man_of_X instructions on how to get into the demo I played for about two hours without any interruption. I’m super hyped now for the full release. The game has tons of potential. Just hope when it launches were not dealing with these types of problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 So does the demo not have respawning or something. I see it saying “respawning” on my screen, but it just sits there. Endlessly. Seems kind of lame actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it locks up just shut the game down and reboot. But when it comes back to the loading screen pick continue. Do not choose another server.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 From what I played last night it felt fun to control, move around, and shoot. It feels like a BioWare shooter, which I enjoy. Too many loading screens breaking up the flow of a mission. I hope we either have less loading screens, or they are significantly shorter. It would be nice if the game would load in the background like many open world games do. I hope I can play tonight after I get back home. I think there was some weird network stuff going on in my last missions. I spawned in with no head, my grenades would not explode, and my super would just lock on but never fire. I want to see if I can play without these issues to get a better feel for the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I'm at least glad the loads didn't copy the Destiny formula of making you watch an animation that can't be skipped that gets janky if you load too fast, but still takes forever. The in-mission loading screens seemed nearly instant, but it was still weird it had them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Also the Demo seems to be running perfectly today for PS4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I played on a peasant PS4 and it ran just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I found that the ME combat was what I liked least about the game -- and I'm not looking for a game with a loot grind. Any sense of whether this will have enough story/non-combat gameplay to make it worth playing in a single-player-like way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This probably isn't the game for you then... they claim the story will be pretty involved and typical Bioware fare with choices and such for each player, but the game will revolve around combat and loot drops for the most part. Combat in this game is basically a refined version of ME: Andromeda which had the best combat of the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything you just described that you disliked is the meat and potatoes of Anthem. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALIEN-gunner Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Non-combat in a looter shooter? Magic 8 Ball says "Not likely". That's good news it runs fine on a non-fabulous PS4. I'm sure I'll be getting the game. Everything about the combat and progression that I'm seeing is my kind of game. It's like it takes the best parts of Destiny, The Division, WarFrame, Diablo and Lost Planet and mixes it all up in a blender. Other than the glitches and bugs frm this 6 week old build(so called) the main complaint I'm seeing is there's no PVP. However I couldn't care less about that.

skillzdadirecta Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 I wonder if there's a narrative reason why your Javelin is outside in the open at the fort as opposed to bring in a hanger or something. that always bugged me. Also they really should add a sprint option to running around the fort. Regular movement speed does feel unnaturally slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
