Bioware's Anthem

Glanza · 9 Dec 2018 at 10:01

Managed to play the intro missions on the first test yesterday but we couldn't get matchmaking to work, will try again this afternoon.

I enjoyed it for the most part like Destiny meets Division, flying I wasn't a fan of the control being purely off the mouse I'd prefer to fly with the kb.

The UI needs work too, having to press enter to access everything instead of clicking screams console port.

tried to do "quick play" for the mission but nothing seems to be happening......

The Alpha test is only up at certain times mate.
Although you may be able to run the Game, the servers won't be up just now so nothing to connect to.

It was the same yesterday too (even during the play time zone)

I managed to play an hour or so last night. Don’t remember much, I was quite drunk

That was just the motion blur.

Pretty sure I turned that off in the settings

Game is fantastic!

Hyped big time for it, everything max and locked to 70 fps with ryzen 2600, vega 56 (stock) @ 1920x1080.

Gameplay and all feels solid to me (using a controller), graphics are stunning too.

I think this could be a day one for me!

Runs great on my 2700x with Vega 64 at 1080p. Will try my 4K TV later.

Controls didn't feel too great on keyboard and mouse, but loved the design and feel. Decided to get it on PS4 and ordered the legion of dawn edition.

How do you actually start a mission, I go to quickplay, click the mission and nothing is happening.....

chroniclard · 9 Dec 2018 at 17:35

Finally managed a mission, UI is awful, so clunky, need some work there. Gameplay was ok but nothing special.

CrispyOtter · 9 Dec 2018 at 18:06

I like the concept... quite enjoyed 'Iron Manning' about in freeroam.

chroniclard · 9 Dec 2018 at 18:25

Couldnt figure out how to launch into freeroam......given up.

You have to do the all the missions it gives you, the 2 SP then 1 MP then it unlocks.

Yeah it said it was unlocked and I could continue to play in freeroam but when I went to launch I just couldnt.

This game was labeled as one last throw of the dice by EA for single player story focused game, but its actually multiplayer meaning EA have abandoned single player non sports games completely. Sad times for gaming.

SkScotchegg · 9 Dec 2018 at 20:16

Can I play this too or is it closed alpha? And if so, my second quest is will there be an open beta?
