I think I’m going to preorder tonight. I’m still knee deep into Odyssey but I could use something to break things up with that game. The Division 2 looks good but very familiar so I think I’ll go with the unknown with Anthem and hope for the best while I fulfill my Iron Man fantasy.
I’m not sure which Javelin I’ll use as my main though. Ranger is focused on weapons and single target damage which should be really useful for the tougher difficulties. The Colossus is just a larger version of the ranger with emphasis on AoE damage. The Storm and Interceptor in my opinion will be using weapons the least since the Storm is basically your spell caster and Interceptor is a melee hit and run fighter which interests me the least.
Played for about 2.5 hours today without a hitch! Game plays very smoothly...loving the lore in the game.
which one is that? i only see 2 armors in the store and they both look generic, is there somewhere i am not looking or do i have to level up moreMicrotransactions are not as bad as I thought they would be but they are not cheap either. Skins seem to be priced at $8.50 a pop and for comparison to another game AC: Odyssey skins are at $8. I did purchase one armor pack from the Ubi store for $15 that included one weapon, a mount and a full armor set. The armor is just a totally awesome looking set that I can keep upgrading making it useful throughout the life of the game so there is value there. But I'm still not sure if that's really true or I'm just justifying the purchase. I guess in the end we make our own choices but these in-game purchases seem to be here to stay. Well, CD Projekt Red did say no scummy MTX BS in their upcoming game so there is hope.
I played the first two missions of this last night and I absolutely love it. I don’t know what it is but it feels and handles so much better than the demo last month.

do you not have xbox? just pay for a month of ea access and see if you like it in the 10 hours it givesI haven't played the game yet but from the video I've seen of the in-game store its not selling much. But something about prices we should all be aware of is there are higher level rarity skins which will probably be more expensive. I don't think we can even call these things microtransactions anymore because to me anything beyond $5 goes beyond minor impulse purchase level but that's just me.
Anyway, after a lengthy viewing of a stream this game has way too many loading screens. In fact the game overall seems to be in a bit of rough shape and yet I still want to play it. So if I do get it and I'm disappointed after a couple hours I guess it'll be my fault for ignoring the issues I'm aware of and buying it anyway just to fly like Iron Man.
I'm sure EA hid most of the microtransactions until launch or even later. I notice a lot of companies even waiting a week or two so that the reviewers can't mention them.
I'm not too worried about microtransactions. I had decent options just from the hour or two I played.
The big issue is I think any in game currency is going to go towards crafting gear.
lol they're not hidden. There's actually a mission that unlocks the vanity shop, where you can buy skins and such. That said, the rate at which you earn in-game currency is surprisingly generous, so you can afford to buy expensive items really quickly without having to spend real money.

Yes, they are. I unlocked the shop and there's only 2 things in it. Mtashed has played for like 15 hours and still only has 2 things in the store, same as us.
There's no way there won't be a ton more microtransactions. The 2 things they have look bland and nobody would buy them anyway.
They learned from Battlefront 2 not to put everything out at the start.
I'm fine with cosmetic only transactions, but people should not assume we've seen the prices or the full item list.
Two things? We're not playing the same game. There are a couple of skins, but there are also textures, vinyls, and crafting mats. Saying future skins are "hidden" are like saying Fortnite only has a couple of items in their shop and "hides" microtransactions. ROFL.
Ultimately, what it boils down to is this: yeah, the game has microtransactions. However, unlike other games, they're pretty easy to avoid. Whether they'll change this is an entirely other question though. Could they nerf the rate you earn coin? Could they increase the prices? Who knows? But to suggest they're hiding things is silly, especially when you have seen them with your own eyes (odd that you only see two items somehow?).
does anyone elses settings reset every time you launch the game??? i have to constantly change the video settings anytime i turn it on!!! (i dont 0want your s***ty aggressive motion blur and AO)
I couldn't care less if you liked the game or hated it. However, you are posting BS about EA hiding things, and even posting some conspiracy theory that games are withholding microtransactions so that reviewers don't comment on them.Wow, you are difficult today. I never said they are a problem. I'm glad EA has dumped other models and gone cosmetics only. You seem to see an agenda that isn't there. I hate the constant EA bashing as they've changed their tune. As long as they keep pay to win out of it, they are a lot better than other companies as of late.
There's only 2 skins. Sorry I guess I should have counted each and every item. I assumed everyone knew what I am talking about. Still if you think 2 skins is it, we can agree to disagree. I would bet that more stuff drops within a week of launch, just after the reviews are done.
