Just get both

 

no

 

Yes. It's the sleek beak thing to do.

 

no buddy, buying broken games is the least sleek of the beaks.

 

Loving it. I miss the Metro and they haven't sold me on leaving it but I'm still only in the first area. Lots of good scares already. I've died a lot already wondering in the wrong direction so it's pretty high tension.

 

watched a streamer play anthem and he said it felt like 4 hours of actual story and like 12 hours of time padding content which was a bummer.

 

The gameplay is good though? Shooting feels challenging and what not? I get afraid of FPS's being too repetitive too quickly or being too easy.

 

The shooting feels maybe a step down from the recent Wolfentsein games, it's not like super polished but it's fun. I died a bunch early on because you need work benches to clean your gun and I had fallen into a swamp so my gun was jamming literally every two shots and I couldn't find a workbench for a long time, so that was stressful. A few monsters seem too powerful to kill early on, I used all my ammo reserves on a creature and it still didn't die. And another type (the dog-like things from the first game) howl if you don't kill them quickly and I got over run a few times and couldn't take them all out. I think if the game is going to manage to have a healthy difficulty all the way through it's going to be dependent on things like that, limiting your survivablity by lack of resources and health (on normal it's about 2 hits from a creature and you're down).

It's tough for me, but I'd hate to give you the wrong idea just because I'm not very good at it, haha.

 

Your description couldn't be better. That sounds challenging as fuck and exactly how FPS's should be to me. Will be picking this up after KH3 most likely.

 

if you stream crackdown terry crews might stop by your stream so brb while I try and get him to notice me.

 

I had to open after closing at work last night and instead of going to bed when I got home I played Chrono Trigger for a few hours, I’m tired as shit but I’m probably gonna play instead of napping now that I’m off work lol

 

Chrono Trigger has some parts I had to look up because I had no idea where to go or which character to talk to

 

Can't wait for you to get to the end

 

I’m barely two hours in and same

 

How are you playing it?

 

On my surface with a gamepad

 

crafty, what gamepad you using? Those 8bitdo ones look so good.

 

Some generic one I got for 20 bucks lol I’m broke

 

so I don't know if Metro is a good game or not, but the first hour is breathtaking.

 

Yeah, I definitely had to look up most of it due to the spoilers that I'm not gonna mention right now. Was still a damn great story though.

 

Anthem is so confusing because the gameplay is an actual blast and it's the most fun I've had in a multiplayer game with friends since original Destiny, but the rest leaves a lot to be desired. The characters are interesting, or so it seems, but placed in what hardly feels like a real story. The load times are atrocious (though my friend moved the game to an SSD and says it cut them in half...but I don't think I'm about to buy an SSD for this) and there are bugs ranging from annoying to weird to game-breaking.

That being said, I think the gameplay is satisfying enough right now to keep me playing as long as friends do and I think, much like Destiny, it can only get much better from here (just keeping fingers crossed that it doesn't take the expensive DLC note from Destiny's playbook...)

 

All additional content for anthem is going to be free

 

I thought I read that somewhere, but wasn't confident. That makes me much more confident dropping time in this game - D2 burnt me by releasing something with little to no endgame that was later filled in with $60+ worth of extras and I'm just not into paying for one game twice. Glad to see Anthem won't be taking the same route.

 

My yearly reminder that this was an actual conversation on an episode of SVU

 

every EA game so far that has promised free content over its lifetime has delivered so far, but at a pace where it's barely anything at all and much slower than their paid offerings (BFV vs BFI, Titanfall 1 vs Titanfall 2) so you know just something to keep in mind.
