we talk about this all the time in my discord. it must suck knowing that you're always on the edge of running out of content.

pre-loading on steam as we speak. looking forward to this. loved the demo.

I’m confused. PS5 system says it unlocks at noon today(roughly an hour and a half). Should I adjust my plans thinking I can play early or is that just a tease?

It unlocks in 50 minutes for me so I would say a cursory yes. Servers might be slammed since it's launch day so keep that in the back of your mind.

Well poo poo it looks like this may be unlocking early for a lot of folks. Very cool!

That day one patch though probably gonna be wild. Seeing a ton of posts about people playing early and lots of crashes.

That’s either a big yikes or that launch patch is going to be a big deal.

One thing that has always bothered me about co-op PvE games is that if you’re a person who cares about listening to dialogue and taking in the plot, you’ll inevitably be in a co-op group of people who just want to rush through an area to get the loot and then move on as quickly as possible.

Only really matters if it’s your first experience of areas, of course.

Same, as soon as noon rolled around the timer went from 0:00:00 to 11:59:59. That's just cruel.

This is because he rushed through the game and skipped all of the side content.

Yeah he did. It’s funny.

Here’s his 1 minute review. He said game is great.

I don’t know how he can say that because he didn’t really experience the game at all but anyway, no spoilers here. Here’s his review. It’s a 60 second watch:

Yeah I'm gonna have one character, probably trickster or devastator, that's for story content and a second(well, the other 3) for MP. Once I beat the story, story character will be MP

I will never not be annoyed at developers for doing this poo poo. Console has it already and there are plenty of streamers playing it on PC with keys given by the developers. Just loving release it to everyone already you dicks.

A few hours is whatever but a day and a half for some people is just rude.

But I feel like I already played it now. Endgame is basically destiny 2 strikes.

I think it'll be plenty long and plenty good enough at release. My hope is that, like Remnant, it catches on enough to justify a lot of additional post-release work.

I hope so too. I would love to see additional legendaries and expeditions, yadda yadda.

If anything, the folks streaming have all basically given positive feedback to the game and chats in twitches have been good.

It’s nice to see that maybe we are all in for a treat

Can't even tease my friends about their Star Citizen purchases. Just feels bad, man.

The initial reviews have all been really positive so far; I hope it builds enough buzz to sell early on. I dug that in the Twitch streamers chat, most of the commenters were shouting down the one or two people who complained that the dude who skipped all the side content was already at endgame.

Much appreciated! I just love being here. I need the community for my own mental health really. I appreciate your posts as well, Memnaelar. We’ve crossed paths in other games. :)

Amen to this. loving god drat Anthem. I can’t believe anybody is putting any stock or faith in BioWare from here. I’ve seen excitement around Dragon Age 4 in other areas and I’m just like, making GBS threads bricks thinking about it.

I do find it hilarious that it was one day apart (I think?) that Artifact and Anthem went under officially.



Also, lots of new legendaries coming out today via streams and I’m trying not to see ALL of them but there’s a select few I’ve stumbled on and I just loving love the look on this thing:



It’s been eons since I’ve played destiny 2, which I still think is fantastic (I just can’t keep up) so an endgame that comprises of “strikes” does it for me.

I LOVED destiny 1 for their strikes. You can duplicate that poo poo all you want, devs.

Yeah, as someone with 2 kids, a full time job, and currently doing a post grad I maybe get an hour an evening to play once everyone else is in bed, so this sounds perfect for me. A nice little loot grind, with the option of customising my own weapon mod combos will probably keep me going for a long time.

That big dumb warthog gun with a cinderblock tied to the bottom for REASONS is an example of why I want this game. It just seems to fit in well with a game where the "hero" complains about having a bad day after the shopkeeper who she wants to buy some tea from eats a bullet to the gut and dies.

It's so dumb, it goes right through the bottom and comes out the cool top.

Also, the demo having two different NPCs tell my hero "You did a good thing" in EXACTLY that phrasing doesn't make me think the writing will suddenly get better outside of the demo, but I'm here for it fam.

I kinda want to play Anthem, but the announcement that Bioware is abandoning the game for good and not releasing the 2.0 update, killed any motivation.
