Welcome to Season 3 Episode 3 of the All Things Geekery Podcast – All About Anthem In this episode, We talk about the recent “DEMO” for Anthem, What problems we encountered, Our 1st Impressions, What we thought about the gameplay and we discuss what we think the future of the game will be. Show Notes Our Snapshot Opinion of the Game Anthem feels like Mass Effect made a child with Division and they were raised by Iron Man in the world of Monster Hunter This game is not Destiny, it is not The Division, it is not Warframe. The one thing we can comment on is the quality of the game. Publisher Concerns EA - Need we say more VIP weekend DEMO didn’t have a good start Will they learn, and correct the issues presented during the demos - It seems like they did with the Open DEMO as server problems were much less but we did experience issues the first day There will be microtransaction but only for cosmetics and all cosmetics in the game can be bought with a certain in-game currency - 0 items in the market currently affect your gameplay Technical Issues Not a technical issue but the naming could have been changed from DEMO to BETA and a lot of the PR would have been addressed - Community would have been more forgiving Server problems Connection Issues - for the VIP demo only Lag - Mostly in VIP demo Audio problems Overall Feel Combat Good mix of strategy and learning needed Teamwork oriented Solo queue play is very challenging as you really need to be able to communicate with your team Some mid-level tier enemies were extremely tanky. EA will need to look at balancing the enemies vs. player shield levels Loot One massive key to a shooter-looter is the LOOT and it’s got to be good The loot in this game was exciting and fun to get your hands on Weapons Good mix of weapons to use Depending on what types of weapons you prefer there could be a bit of learning curve with the weapons Situational Each class should have a special weapon they can use, which I think would give just a bit more edge and hone in each class for specific fighting styles. Would allow players to have a bit more customization with how they choose weapons for each of the slots A lot of the weapons had the same look, sound and feel which made it hard to figure out what to use Skills Learning curve Some skills felt very underwhelming in specific fights Situational Skills are somewhat customizable Movement Really felt like a console game that was ported to PC with how the controls were laid out Flight and Underwater Movement was a massive learning curve Overall movement was top notch and felt very smooth for the most part Environments Beautifully made worlds Challenging to navigate first time in as most new worlds are Exploration and hidden items Playing The Javelin Each Javelin is unique - Each has a unique feel Our Opinion of each Javelin STORM RANGER COLOSSUS INTERCEPTOR The Future of Anthem We now have a road map which shows a plan with new strongholds, loot, quality of life changes, & GUILDS! The core Bioware team is making this game The End game has Legendary missions which are enhanced versions of the missions you get from quest givers. The drops from these missions will also be of a higher tier to match difficulty. For the ultimate test in skill and squad cohesion, you can increase the difficulty of the mission to Grandmaster and above. It looks like we will have Diablo style loot in that there are rolls which will sync better depending on the play styles you are going for. FARMING NEEDED!

The Potato Heads review the Anthem open demo from BioWare and share their thoughts.
Well, the open demo ended and I collected my thoughts and it's time to see if this game actually has the potential to be a game better than Bungie's Destiny or it will waste its potential. Stick around and we'll see.
On this episode i Dive into the new game from respawn called Apex Legends and also go over my thoughts on the Anthem VIP and Open Demo the released over the last 7 days and wrap things up with all the Drama going on with Metro Exodus.
The Anthem demo (which is still very much a beta) went open for everyone this past weekend. After having a miserable time with the "VIP Demo", I got to play through all the demo content with a good crew of people. I had a great time and an more bullish on Anthem than I was before but I still have a number of concerns about it, particularly on the technical side. I go into those and explain why as good as the game could be, that people should wait to pick it up until they see what shape it launches in.

The Potato Heads review tips and suggestions to prepare everyone for the Anthem Open Demo.
The Anthem VIP Demo was available this past weekend for those who pre-ordered, had Origin Access Premier or knew someone in the beta who was willing to give up one of their 3 Friend Pass codes. I got to play a little of it, mostly because the servers were on fire. I talk about these (admittedly limited) impressions and how between the tech problems and this game's strong similarity to Destiny, that EA might be on the path of flubbing yet another big release. I'll be trying the Open Demo and the full release though so we'll see how it goes.
