Will Sup Forums play the Anthem beta?

Will Sup Forums play the Anthem beta?

Never heard of it.
So no.

i don't like activision games

maybe

I'll be sure to get all my actor friends together so that we can feign interest at brown and grey assault rifle number 38819.

If it turns out to actually be good, sure. But I have zero confidence in Bioware these days.

Well, this is the A team working on it, not B team and Andromeda.

>not B team
jesus thank fuck

Bioware's A team left after DAO

Doubtful. Everything from before that was clunky and slow like they forgot they weren't making a 90's isometric rpg.

but thats EA

It's impossible for looter shooters to be fun

>bioware
ohoh
ohoh
ehe
ahaha
no

I'm not completely writing it off though, I'm more of a guilty until proven innocent kinda guy. Theres a one in a million chance it might actually be decent.

Who gives two shits if it was the a or b team. Bioware collectively hasn't made a good game in fucking years, and it's genuinely astounding that you believe anthem is going to be any different.

It's either going to come out as a mangled mess like the majority of their recent releases. That, or it's going to release in a playable state and then be completely forgotten about in a week because bungie already has the market cornered on the genre and anyone trying to compete with them will inevitably get chewn up and spat out (see The Division).

source?

No one should be playing Beta’s period. They’re nonsensical BS that feeds the hype machine and allows people to piss out weak excuses for the shit they see in the beta and go “it’s ok if it sucks, it’s still in beta” and then act all surprised when “gee, this game still sucks”. But don’t worry, since you never left beta, they can always patch it up later and add more shit to the nothingness they gave you to play with.

Playing a beta used to mean something. Now like everything’s it’s another tool in the Triple A toolbox to manipulate and duck with the consumer.

Even worse.

This user gets it

Beta's what?

If its free of microtransactions(primarily lootcrates), looks like it has above average gameplay, and has a more to offer than just being EAs answer to Destiny than yes ill try the beta. But I dont have hope fampai. Im sure the constant threads it will inevitably have will tell is everything about it though.

>(see The Division).
Kind of a shame.
I know Sup Forums has a hate-on for Ubisoft, but I enjoyed The Division a bit. I wasn't fantastic by any means, but I actually loved the art direction and wandering around the post-crisis New York.
My biggest problem with The Division is the same as my problem with Destiny, and likely will be my biggest problem with Anthem, which is that these games put the player on a treadmill grindfest and then rely on DLC to pad out the content. And even then, I wouldn't mind as much if these games had longer lifespans. The Division died quick and Destiny is getting phased out by its sequel in, what? Three years? Many MMOs with the same core game design last much longer.

You're mostly right, but people who understand this actually can get some value from a beta. That is to say, they know they're playing a demo and can judge the game accordingly while ignoring the "it's just a beta" narrative.

It's Bioware's response to Destiny

>Im sure the constant threads it will inevitably have will tell is everything about it though
>there are STILL people that take Sup Forums's word as fucking gospel
>2kcurrent year

That entire "its the a team!" shtick sounds so much like PR bullshit. All of Biowares best are already gone.

Sup Forums is generally right about Bioware games though

NEW INFO?

nigger that's like saying Sup Forums is right about water being wet or the sky being blue.
doesn't mean i'm not going to look up or dip my hand in the sink.

When's the beta?

How do we apply?

How great will this game be?

All these questions and more on the next episode of...THE ADVENTURES OF IRON MAN AND HIS ARMORED FRIENDS.

LOL it's happening again, I read that the developers said that we'll be playing this game for ten years...I heard this sentence before!

My friend who loves destiny thinks this will be shit.

The fucking ironing is delicious.

doesn't matter. they made the decision to give "b" team andromeda. and didn't b team die and merged its corpse with some other company.
i'm willing to try this game.
but if i hear "diversity" is what making the staff and team. i'm fucking out. tired of it

Didn't the art director die? They'll probably replace him with some purple haired transgender person.

I always dreamed that Destiny was going to be a 3rd person action/shooter so I'm going to give it a try if beta is free.

Drew Karpyshyn

So...what, it's a new phantasy star online with guns?

Sup Forums can't tell you if a game is fun or not, but this board is good at pointing out flaws. It's up to you to determine whether they're problems to you personally or not.

probably, the jetpack mechanics look pretty fun

I kind of want a game based entirely around affecting your fall in the way the jetpacks seemed to in the trailer

You mean something like Gravity Rush?

I just want a decent mech/suit mmo...

But knowing how shit this industry is. its definitely going to be riddled with more microtransaction than a korean game.

It looks like a Destiny ripoff.

>All these questions and more on the next episode of...THE ADVENTURES OF IRON MAN AND HIS ARMORED FRIENDS.

was that suppose to be funny?
fuck off with your LOLSORANDUMXDDD humor

we know it only can be shit.
They fucked up so many games lately, they will not recover with Anthem.

Bioware needs to die as soon as possible

If it's an open beta then sure. Not pre-ordering for access though. Looks like a Destiny clone though so I'm not particularly excited.

When is this beta? And is it open?

judging by their marketing they don´t want people like me playing their game in the first place, so no

3 of their 4 multiplayer games have turned out horribly, trying a Bioware multiplayer game is just a waste of time

>The Division: Robot Edition
nope

>judging by their marketing
Wait what happened with their marketing? I'm out of the loop when it comes to Bioware these days

No, I don't really play multiplayer games anymore.

They haven't marketed it at all at least none that I've seen outside of some shitty game play a while ago where actors pretend to be real life people playing online games together.

There's a beta coming? Where?

Nope Its suposed to bait retards like you to a autistic butthurt answer

>nobody should actually take a chance to play the game, they should just shit on it from videos
I'm really not surprised anymore. I don't expect it to be good, but I want to know why it's bad firsthand. Just because some idiots think betas can magically fix things in the week between the end of beta and release doesn't mean you'll become one of them the instant you touch it.

If you gave me a bunch of screenshots of Anthem and Destiny I wouldn't be able to tell the difference

are there any new pics or videos since the release of those first showcase video?

If it's bad, we get more Bioware to laugh at. If it's good, we get a good game to play. The only way we can possibly lose here is if the game is just "okay".

Destiny looks like a lass gen game.

Anthem looks like a next gen game.

It's like lost planet. So no.

i too love the aspect of exploring post apocalyptic New York. I can tell Massiv's art team have put a very delicate world with meticulous care. But sadly this wont matter any more if they inevitably decide to shut down the servers and all thats left are media formats and ppl's memories of a game

Yeah if it's free and I don't have to preorder it.
If not then it can get fucked I guess

if they fuck it up i'll have nothing to live for after MHW

aw sweet i got the death rifle of doom

oh nice

I dont know why i always come back to Division.
Iam now almost 800h into the game, from the early beginning to today.
The atmosphere is so awesome, especially when a snowstorm comes up.

Just image if you take the graphics of the division with the story of secret world.

First you start in the frozen city and in the late game you fight your way through the caverns to the deep underground.

But this grinding all the time and from patch to patch really makes me sick. I think when i reached my 800h, then i put the game aside

Hell yea, why wouldn't I try it for free, if it's shot then I don't have to ever think about it after the beta.

As a big Phantasy Star Online guy, I'm really excited about this shoot and loot surgence. Anthem looked cool and I hope it does a good job of competing against Destiny.

bioware outsource it all to OBSIDIAN

game becomes goty

everyone thinks it was bioware

>MFW

Is this true?

the whole reason to play a beta for me is to get a feel for the mechanics of the game, so I know what to expect from a full purchase somewhat.

i agree. I love PSO and I hope this captures the same spirit of PSO.

PSO.

no but imagine if it did, imagine how amazing the game would be.

obsidian would never make a game like this though.

Bioware is cancer. Im not buying a game from them

Do you play Destiny? It rubs the PSO really well for me.

>Destiny
>Anthem
>Monhun World
>Sea of Thieves

PSO reboot when?

yeah I play destiny. I would have preferred if the shooting was 3rd person like almost everything else in the game is.

why not, they have made rpg's before and they made fallout new vegas.

>Back in the day games disguised a loot grind with gameplay and story

>now games advertise themselves as loot grinds

they have only made one ARPG before, and never developed on modern 3d engines

Reveal video of it reminded me of that I think I am at the objective picture

Story and setting still seem important.

if they can make a game like new vegas on the shitty engine from bethesda then they can make a triple A title on a better engine thats actually fucking decent.

>"We want the Destiny audience"

Hope it flops tbqh

The moment I heard about a 10 year journey it killed any I could've had for Anthem

killed any hype*

Destiny 2 is shallower than Destiny 1 and just about everyone is shitting on it but the devs aren't saying anything / they don't have any plans to change anything
I hope this kill it

Eh, free game.
Looks like ass though

>not wanting to spend the next decade playing the same game

pretty sure the C team did Andromeda

>mmo
I agree on everything, but I'd prefer if it was coop instead

Loot grind is fun when the surrounding gameplay is fun.

100%. I never hype or trash something without playing it first.

Also, my group is always looking out for Co-op games.

there's Warframe
it's free

>Warfarm

It's also well established to be garbage. Their ability to copy other games isn't going to change that. Anthem still retains the possibility of being decent.
