Momma There Goes That Man Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 14 minutes ago, Mr. Sinister said: Goddamn. I need that. 😮  Yeah and they mixed things up too so it’s not just the exact same thing as the original. For example that first hallway on the left in the police station is where you first meet the licker in the original and now he pops up in a new spot. Puzzles are changed up too.  Also there are 4 scenarios. Leon A/B and Claire A/B.  I’m terrified of going back into the sewers where the wall spiders were. I always had to close my eyes and run thru there to the get to the ladder and continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played the closed alpha, demo last week, and will play the open demo tomorrow. The game's alot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Does Anthem have a single player campaign mode or anything? Like with a story?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I kinda blame ME3 for this. ME3 was really the only co-op/head to head mp I've ever liked, filled with a chill, non ****head community. My guess is they saw the success with that, and wanted to see how a more fleshed out version of that would do. I likely won't get it, but I hope it succeeds. Bioware's future is likely riding on this, as well as any future Dragon Age/ME game.   Oh, don't know when the last time was that some of y'all played Skyrim, but some of this CC stuff is off the chain. The Stormcloaks chainmail and Imperial gladiator armor are cool as hell. One thing I've definitely noticed playing again, is how ****ty the apparel is in this game, though things have changed a lot since 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purbeast Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Eh, I just read about Anthem that it's always online even when playing solo, so it's a hard pass for me. If it had a single player campaign mode with a story I probably would have bought it because the environment looks pretty awesome. I have no interest in doing any online crap with that game though, let alone having to pay for XBL or PS+ just to play it. **** that.

The goal was a single player game that could be played with multiple people if you want . You dont have to play it with friends, though that makes it easier.  2 hours ago, purbeast said: because the environment looks pretty awesome. I have no interest in doing any online crap with that game though, let alone having to pay for XBL or PS+ just to play it. **** that.  Yea paying for XBL or whatever to play a game is wack but that seems to happen with all my fav games these days. Its also a service I never seem to be without so while its bull**** im definitely stuck in the cycle. 10 hours ago, Warhead36 said: Might try the Anthem demo this weekend.  Yea I downloaded it last night.

purbeast Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Well it seems this game was designed for a co-op campaign experience with the single player one kind of tacked on, and is intended to be played co-op. The fact that I'd have to pay for a service I won't play to play single player is about as dumb as it can possibly get, but I'm not surprised that a company like EA would do something as stupid as that. That alone will make me never buy this game, on principle alone. I'm petty like that.

Fan since a Fetus Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I have $50 on the Playstation store. I was thinking about grabbing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Mass Effect, Titanfall2, Resident Evil Biohazard, and Middle Earth: Shadow of War. I didn't play much last year and need to catch up. I've been debating hard whether to get those 5 or go Red Dead. I think I'll go with those 5.  Also, got Divinity II for Christmas. I am level 3 and cannot when any fights. Any tips? I'm on the island at the beginning of the game. I've looked online and it looks like there is a ton of things to do, but I cannot find them. So, I've been trying to battle to get off the island, but no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Mass Effect is a masterpiece... if you can visually take yourself back to like 2006 lol. The whole trilogy is really good, but ME1 is legendary. Basically an adult Star Wars.  But them graphics tho 😑   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually really easy to find it cheaper than $60/yr. I have no problem paying for the services if I'm going to be gaming online which is what it is really for. I paid for XBL gold for like 12-13 years straight and PS+ since it came out up until last year. I don't really game online anymore so there's no use for it to me so why would I pay for it?  But again, having to pay for a service to play single player in a game that cost $60 already? Are you really trying to justify that it makes sense to do that? I mean you couldn't even play this game by yourself single player without a constant internet connection. That is really ****ing stupid.

It was designed to have a strong co-op ala Destiny, but the single player wasn't just tacked on. It is a major feature they are pushing as ALL of their success has come on the backs of great single player experiences and they have recognized and prioritized that from day one. They talk about it at great length. Its not something im worried about. How it works in conjunction with co-op is the biggest area of weakness im worried about, but that has also been a major point of emphasis for them as well.  Read this if you are actually interested in how they expect this to work https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-09-01-how-anthem-puts-a-single-player-story-in-a-multiplayer-game  If not, long story short is that your single player campaign is yours. You are welcome to invite anyone you want to join you on any mission. But the world you shape on your own and it is effected by your changes and no one else's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I loved Destiny, thats exactly why I stopped playing it. Cause if you miss a week you are done.

purbeast Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Anthem is whack. The part in the javelin is pretty neat and the sound is very good in the game, like REALLY good, but I had no clue wtf I was doing I was just shooting **** and flying around. The framerate is trash though even on X1X @ 1080p. It doesn’t stay at a constant 30 at all, probably like around 25 most of the time. The framerate when you are in the hub or whatever is also garbage. Clearly any footage shown of the game has been on a high end PC.  The game is just too complex for me personally. I wish the whole game was in the javelin mode and it was just a story that way with basic stuff going on.

Mr. Sinister Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 So, turns out I need mods for my necromancer playghrough after all. Went Legendary after hitting lvl 65, and I cannot hurt anything of note, unless I am given like a minute. Really bugged me because I joined the Dark Brotherhood, and Touch of Death is my go to assassination spell. It was more like Tickles of Death.  Put in the mods, and I hit it again on that crazy conspiracy dude in Ivarstead, and he screamed and went shooting up into the air like a rocket LOL. That spell is back to normal.  Seems like the only thing you actually change is the cost of spells, and not the damage, after a certain point. TOD should be close to instant kill on regular townie npc's, and now I've set it right.  Also totally owned that Mythic Dawn dude in Dawnstar, and took all his **** lol. That quest really has me itching to play Oblivion,  but I haven't decided on a build yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
