Anthem - Bioware's Destiny (PS4, XB1, PC)

[Starhawk 519]

I put 600 hours(!) into Destiny 1, which I honestly cannot believe, and that was with me really slowing down about a year before Destiny 2. I'd love for Anthem to fill that need/desire, but I'm not sure it will either.

I cranked a lot of hours with Destiny, but not quite that much Bungie gets so much so close to perfect, but yet so far, with the loot grind progress loop. 

 

I hope Anthem does well, they're sure trying to hit that mark. That gameplay vid is *so* much better than the actual E3 presentation, but not what I want to play.

I signed up for this. Not sure if you are automatically approved or what:

Wow - very cool, thanks for the heads up.

Couldn’t get signed up yesterday due to various website errors. Finally got through today but ended up signing up for the Xbox version since PS4 was listed as “Waiting List”. 

 

Might use another email to sign up for PC.

And I’m in. Downloading now. Look forward to trying it this weekend, maybe it will spark some interest in me.

[Graeme 405]

I got a rejection email.

Paul are you on PS4? I've got it downloaded and ready. Not sure what session I will be able to be on yet, but Im going to try for the first one.

Ditto.  It was queued up to download when I left for work this morning...

Same!

[Graeme 405]

I dislike you all. 

[Whooter 347]

Any early impressions?  I'm stuck at work all day today, so won't get to mess with it until tomorrow...

[NickC 272]

Haven't been able to get in, will try again during the second session.

[Whooter 347]

I just realized that answering my question likely breaks the NDA, so never mind. I’ll see for myself tomorrow. 🙂

[Starhawk 519]

I didn't try to get in until about 40 mins into the first session, so my TV saw nothing but the title screen for the game. I left it on, but it never connected.

[Whooter 347]

I'm not going to say anything more than I'll definitely be pre-ordering this...

 

 

[Starhawk 519]

I didn't get a chance to play it at all.

[Paul 74]

Crazy work schedule kept me from playing very much, my son played more then I did. But I liked what was there, I find myself more interested then before but I can’t say I will be purchasing...yet.

VIP Demo starts @ 11am CST today.  Right in the middle of my work day.  Awesome.  😛

 

Excited to see where it's at since the Alpha.  My understanding is the build is about 6 weeks old, and is already quite a bit different than the final product we'll see next month.

[Magness 146]

Looking forward to trying it later tonight

I have the same issue with this game that I do with Day's Gone on the PS4. I should be interested but I can't find a give a fuck bone in my body and I don't know why.

[Eldorado 327]

For me it just feels like more Destiny. Which might be unfair. Still, I didn’t gel completely with the last Destiny and I think that just has me disinterested.

Here's my VIP Demo Friend Code link.  It's good for three uses, so first come, first served!

edit:  One use left!

[Starhawk 519]

Redeemed! Thanks. I’d downloaded the demo tonight forgetting it wasn’t open yet. I’d go ahead an pre-order but I’d just bought RE2.
