Q: Am new to pc gaming If I buy this is it going to cost me more money to play it? Do I have to be online after I down load game? Will Ps4 controllers work with game? If I missed anything can you tell me please.

A: No you don’t need any sort of membership to play online welcome to pc gaming. What I know about ps4 controller compatibility is that you need a 3rd party program to manipulate it as an Xbox controller.

Q: So I ordered the physical windows format but received a box with a download code? How is that a physical format? I don't understand?

A: You got the physical box. Most games nowadays require you to have an account with management platforms such as Steam and Origin to redeem the content. Even if it did provide you a CD, it wouldn't be the full game download, it'd just be a simple code to redirect you the page to download from the appropriate platform. On top of that, most people, like myself no longer have CD drives; I'm actually kinda glad that they just sent the code. Whether they sent the code via email or like this, it would have been the same redeeming. This way, you just get the box to display. I only went with the physical copy because if you had some perks with BestBuy like their GamersClub, you received a 20% off physical games. Personally, I feel that they should probably move towards extending that discount towards digital copies because physical copies create more waste...

Q: Anyone else having an issue with preorders not updating so you can download?

A: Contact the company, I had this issue.

Q: How will we receive pre-launch VIP demos if we pre order a physical release for store pickup?

A: The code is sent to your email

Q: Anyone know why Anthem - Legion of Dawn - Windows removed from bestbuys website?

A: It’s back up!

Great Gunplay with Questionable Gameplay Design
My wife and I both picked up copies of Anthem and have been having an absolute blast playing the game together. Picking out and customizing our Iron-Man like Javelins is an awesome experience. Once you land in battle, fly over to the objective, and kick some awesome Space Iron Man butt. The gunplay is excellent, everything is flashy with amazing graphics and sounds. The synergy between the classes works beautiful together with freezing the enemies and smashing them with a giant metal shield. Zapping them with lighting then catching the enemies on fire. It ALL feels AWESOME in this breathtaking world they produced. Some of the pretties sights I’ve ever seen in a game. Once the mission is over... you get hit with the Huh? Some questionable end-screen overview section with barely any info on what’s happening, and a ton of loading screens (installing on an SSD is a MUST), Loading screen from the mission end screen back into the city, want to check out your new weapons? Loading screen. Want to change the mission you're on and round up your team for some action. Loading screen. Want to go to the vault and see what crafting materials you have…. Loading screen. Too far away from your group while in the world playing? Loading Screen. Die? Loading Screen. Loading Screen. Loading... loa...lo... screen. The beautiful Frostbite engine CAN NOT handle this type of game. It was designed for arena like maps like Battlefield and Battlefront. While the few year old version The Division fluidly allows you to go from your own private instance to seeing other players and tackling their version of dungeons. No loading screens. Anthem is covered in question gameplay. The entire hub world is in first person view with a ton of NPCs to talk too. The dialog is good, their facial expressions are great for the most part but they go on and on about their life. Do I really care?? I don’t think so. Some of the main characters I do enjoy talking too but the generic people in the corner of the map is just… filler content? Filler LORE content. Bioware has produced a wonderful world filled with a ton of lore and awesome combat system and I have faith in EA and Bioware to make the game even better. But as of right now, the gunplay and flying is AWESOME while rest of the game is OKAY. I will give it a 4 out of 5 due to the fact my wife and I love playing together and we are having a great time…. Until the missions end and it's another 15-20 mins of generic boring NPC conversations and loading screens. If playing solo, wait for a sale! If playing with a group, its deff a good game buried by questionable game designs or maybe its just the graphics engine. Not sure whats happening here. Strong Alone. Stronger Together.

Awesome game with tons of room to grow
Just to throw my two cents in here since there seems to be some people who haven't been thrilled and I don't want people to be turned away from a really fun game. At pre-launch it had some issues, some real irritating ones, but I knew it was more of a server stress test than anything. At launch most things have been cleared up, there's still a couple little hiccups but a lot of them are getting fixed pretty quickly. Bioware (who I thought I would swear off after they abandoned Andromeda so quickly) has been really good about transparency and communication. Their turn around on a lot of things has been really good. I love the game, I'm a little over 100 hours so far and must say that it has been a blast and am still enjoying it. The story was great and in line with ME2's nice story. They have lots of room to grow which I think we'll see in the coming months. Gameplay has been fantastic, 4 different javelins to fit any play style and you can switch easily if you decide one isn't for you. The flying to landing to swimming has been a blast too. I love also how nice it is to customize it, you can really go nuts and spend a lot of time tweaking the appearance just the way you want. Lastly the graphics are crazy beautiful - I find myself just parking on a cliff side to enjoy the view. There's very few games I've ever done that with. I attached a cool pic of the view - keep in mind that I'm on Medium settings due to me running 3x 4k monitors on my older vid card. Love this game so much I made the jump to get a high end card to let it shine.
