kidson2004 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Anyone played the demo yet? It came out yesterday I think (or today). It’s available to those who pre-ordered the game. If so, what do you think of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 30 minutes in and I haven't played once. Off to a great start. Attempted to load a mission then literally sat in loading screen for 7 minutes so I closed application, and now I'm stuck at main menu. Dang. Awesome.

Durandal Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Seems they had quite a bad start already. First the servers couldn't handle all the player request and they had to shut it down shortly after the start. And it seems even though they upgraded their servers a lot of people still can't get in. This isn't just a Anthem problem as it turns out, a lot of EA games are affected by this. Might even be some malicious attack by your usual angry script kiddy. But what has the community in an uproar is the fact that a lot of people who can play the game didn't even pre-order the game. They were invited by those who did, every pre-order came with three free invite codes. But it wasn't communicated at all by EA/BioWare. Naturally a lot of people are unhappy with this, especially since many who paid for the game can't play the game while those who got an invite for free can.

Tusked-Lattice Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Based on this demo I think Mass Effect Andromeda is a better game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ_Solo Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 After reading all the complaints I thought I'd experience a hard time getting in after they opened it to PS+ members. I only had to restart the game twice when if failed to load freeplay and saw 1 connection error after a mission but it didn't disconnect me.

Splathew Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Rough around the edges but the potential is there. I don't want to dive in too much since progress doesn't care over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavergray Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 It feels okay, like a third person shooter version of Destiny. It does feel like it's of a higher quality than Destiny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneliestPanda Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Have yet to even play the first mission since I keep getting stuck in the infinite loading screens. Glad I didn't pre order. Going to wait a few weeks or so post launch and maybe pick it up then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrosivescott Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I enjoyed it. I had a rough start though Friday I could not get it to work and Saturday I was to busy, but Sunday I finally got to play. I agree with most on that it feels like destiny, a little division mixed in as well. I like the iron man feel to the suits though and will definitely get on launch if my friend gets it cause it is very fun with someone else. I put up a clips video of some things I thought was cool/crazy/funny/weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdhight Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 There is good gameplay, but surrounded by other things that take too long and aren't fun. It can be great; they just need to streamline it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
