Nice to hear that there is no pvp. That means we don't have to worry about pve weapon balancing being match to pvp. Hey can play with their power fantasy a lot more. Also cool to hear that abilities are items. They can make some crazy off the wall stuff and change things up
Graphically it looks very nice, kind of hard to believe it's the same developer who put out that trash Mass Effect Andromeda. Also I hate to be like this but it seemed kind of forced having so many female players in the demo, I doubt you'll ever play with that many females in a game, I've seen some complain that there were no white people in it but I really don't care about that, when I create a character they are almost always a different ethnicity than I am. Also I've never heard Kardashain inflections with that narrators accent before, it was strange how they would just creep in at certain points lol.
Same. Ethnicity only plays if it makes sense in a certain context. Considering it's not the same planet, and there are more non-"white" people on our own planet, it makes sense. Not like in far Cry 5 where you are in Montana(?) And every other hunter redneck is a black woman, lol.
The female thing is just forced nowadays and is incongruent with current and historical gender proclivities, thus feeling weird when so overrepresented in the role of a warrior.
I don't know how I feel about this game. I feel like its a Bioware game in name only but I could be in for a pleasant surprise. I'm going to try it on on Origin Access Premier when it come out.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned (maybe because it's actually really obvious?) is how similar the gameplay looks to andromeda.
I saw many reused animations. The combat is 100% andromeda with longer lasting jump jets, down to combo priming and detonations. Not that that's a bad thing. I'm firmly set in thinking andromedas combat was nearly faultless.
Then again maybe nobody knows this because no one but me played andromeda. (100%'ed it but I'm not, in fact, a masochist)

I have a feeling this game will bomb hard.
Can anyone in a few short sentences tell me what about this game I should be excited about?
I don't think it will bomb as these type of games seem to have a kind of following. Especially if they run it like Destiny or the Division using the GaaS model. Will it meet EA expectations? That's anyone's guess.
I'm not trying to be debbie downer for this game, cause it does look really nice but I wonder is this the best use of the Bioware studio/talent. Bioware, a studio almost exclusively known for its singleplayer RPG games with strong narrative threads is making a social loot shooter where gameplay not story is the main draw. I get EA wanting to get more out of their studios and Bioware themselves could want to try something new but it seems like they are getting away from what made them what they are. Almost seems like self sabotage by EA, Bioware or both. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Guerrilla Games was almost completely defined by their work on 1st person shooters, then when given the chance to make something else they nail it with Horizon Zero Dawn.
