I only played the demo/beta. The gameplay seemed ok, although I thought they had something good going with the jetpack. Aside from that and the pretty world they didn't really have much of a game built around it which reflects the troubled development it had. As said above, it sounded like it lacked the substance to warrant being a 'live service' game.

I played the alpha and it seemed OK. Planned to check it out fully when it came to EA access but never did. Decided to just hold off until the 2.0 launch, so it's been sat on my console waiting patiently for an update that'll never come.

Finally put the old girl out of her misery this morning and reclaimed some disk space...

So as a result of Anthem's complete failure and Fallen Order's success EA have mandated Dragon Age 4 to be single player only. Who knew that single player games were still relevant and that not everything has to be fucking multiplayer, multiplayer, multiplayer.

This surprises me greatly... Who would have thought!

Then again they'll probably rush it out and it'll turn out to be an Andromeda level failure, so next game will be GaaS or they'll shutter the studio.

So myself and a few friends have decided to take a run through Anthem (while we can).
Just a quick question. Does anyone know if we can play co-op from the get-go? Or do we have a prologue to complete like Outriders?

@Wayne

There's a prologue before you can hook up iirc.

I don't know if they've fixed it but if you're going to do a coop playthrough make sure everyone has picked up the right missions - it used to be a nightmare to make sure everyone had completed the right quests, and had gone to the NPCs to have picked up the next one (especially at launch, with lots of disconnections during missions which meant redoing them to keep everyone on track).

One more tip, if you want to play the story make sure to set it up to not allow randoms on story missions. I played all story missions solo so just turned off all multiplayer for them.
