Anthem Executive Producer Mark Darrah talked about one of the main differences between weapons and gear and confirmed a text-based codex.

"You need to be hovering in order to shoot your weapons" I'm sorry WHAT???

[UnHoly_One]

I think that means only hovering, not while flying.

I don't think it means that you can't shoot them on the ground.

It is a misleading quote, and I'm only guessing, but that's the way I took it.

[porkChop]

Yeah I'm pretty sure you're right. We've already seen ground combat, no? So this must only apply to aerial combat, which makes sense.

Pretty much you can't fly full speed trying to unleash your full arsenal while dodging bosses. It's either running on the ground or hovering in the air.

I had high hopes for this game but I now have a sickly feeling its gonna be a boring grind in the style of Destiny and The Division. I don't think it's gonna be the game I thought it was going to be after seeing the reveal trailer.

@Skull521

I love games like Destiny, and that's the exact kind of game I thought it was going to be from the instant it was revealed. lol

What did you think it was going to be?

[Skull521]

A coop game with a story and and ending, maybe open world. Something like a Far Cry or Assassins Creed. Now I'm thinking it'll be a never ending PvE grind, probably raids and stuff, probably a severe lack of content with promises of more to come in the future provided you buy the necessary expansions, nothing I wanna play.

I think it’s too little too late for EA.

When this game was first revealed, i was really excited to find out more information. Now that more on game is out there, im not getting my hopes up. It still looks cool but it doesnt seem like its for me. Everyone has very similiar exosuits too. I know you can unlock new stuff for em but nobody will look too different from one another. The gun upgrades seem like minor alterations as you fight bullet sponges. I hope im completely wrong and it has a fantastic story/content but i dont trust EA at all anymore
