Anyone on Xbox feel free to add me b1gbass1170

Preordered so I could play the early demo but just got sent offshore. Awful timing. But should be back for launch day.

It's funny how no game is ever ready for its own popularity.

Woke up at the crack of dawn. Loaded in to the "Destiny" area, frame rate and controls terrible. Selected a mission, loading bar stuck.

Restarted the Xbox
Quit the game 5 times, tried different modes... nothing

similar for me. well not up at the crack of dawn but stuck at the maybe 95% loading. can't even force quit have to restart the xbox.

Enough of a "C'mon EA" again that I cancelled the pre-order. may pick it up some time down the road but complete fail demos should be a thing of the past.

I disagree with this. The demos let them iron out major links prior to launch day. With launch being a month away it gives them time to iron out this stuff and hopefully the servers will be stable day 1. Now if we were having these issues on launch day after betas had exposed them, then I'd be upset.

No major game like this has ever had a flawless launch that I can think of. It's really more about how fast they fix things. Will it Be stabilized after a day or have lingering problems for a week is how I will judge it. I expect problems every time I try to play a game on release, EA or not.

We all know this demo is a beta.

I think I've played 8 total hours so far. This feels really good.

I agree I can't get over how much I love the combat and the diversity of it.

I was surprised and how quickly I went through the missions. In tyoical Bioware fashion, I was hooked wanting more. I can't wait for the story behind this game.

The character Matthias was funny and quirky, kind of like the Salarian doctor from Mass Effect

Figured it out. Select mission and then goes into infinite loading screen. Quit game and restart. Hit A to continue mission on sign in screen.

If this wasn't an EA game I would be all over it. Other than the server issues (understandable at this point) everything looks great. EA has burned me too many times, however, so I'll be cautious for now.

Only had time to get one mission out of the time spent trying to get the game working. After getting past the infinite load screen bug they're having a difficult time solving, the game plays great. The game is very much a knockoff of Destiny and they flip flopped the point of views between gameplay and the social hub. Music sounds the same too. Things I didn't like was the FPS or blur effect you get looking around in the social hub and gameplay of flying around can be disorienting. It will take some getting used to.

The game was really taxing my RTX 2070. I hope they improve performance. Also was having a lot of audio issues. The controls are terrible as well. Not nearly as polished of a demo as Destiny 2 was, of course, that meant nothing it turns out. Maybe it will work out the other way. Rough demo, but great game??

I can only hope.

So I didn't get much chance to play the colossus but it may be a little too slow and plodding for me. The ultimate is pretty awesome though.

Love the storm style and the ultimate. Actually I thought the ranger was boring then I changed the abilities around and got different weapons with a shotgun and LMG and got in things faces and it was really fun.

Also are you referring to pc controls or Xbox, I know pc controls is something they have been working on I noticed flight was better than the alpha. Swimming is still horrible though.

So on PC, once I redid the control map to fit what I'm accustomed to for D2, it made a lot of things easier. You can also turn off the blur when flying. It's in the settings. That may help with the vertigo type feeling.

I also mapped abilities and melee to my mouse buttons it's hard to move properly with the default key binds. I would definitely recommend changing it. Things were so rough at the beginning for me a debated using a controller but everything feels a lot smoother now.

Right now, after the demo, this will probably fill my destiny void. D2 feels a little blah at the moment. I know there were bugs, and that was frustrating. However, games like this need a grace period imo. They have to get it out to make money and it's a live game. I'd expect some launch day issues as well.

That could totally change at launch, but I am diggin the loop, the actual forge, the free vanity options like paint colors. My interceptor is maroon and white, while my ranger is hunter green and black with a gold accent looks awesome.

I played interceptor and had a blast flying in doing slicing things up with a dagger getting out and doing it all over again, really went into what I feel like a rouge should feel like. Quick agile and sneaky. The abilities on that class kinda felt secondary until I got mines.

Some things I've noticed about the devs is how opened they've been. Really makes me excited about the future of the game.

Pros: Once in the game, flying felt great and I enjoyed the differences between the two suits I used.
Forging weapons items and consumables was cool.
I actually went into free roam on hard and demolished world bosses solo after doing this.
The secrets I found flying around were cool.

Cons: There are some overall performance issues on all platforms. I run a GTX 1600 6gb and was getting 60 fps on the regular during missions, but in fort tarsis, I would have frame rate drops down to 45 and then jump back up. It can be jarring when you aren't used to that. On a console, I've heard of faces not loading in at the fort as well as even worse frame rate issues.

In the *strike*(forgot what it was called) there were times that the game just wouldn't load the next part of the mission, or the echos wouldn't exist at all. We would have to quit the mission and restart.

At times, it sounded as though my sound would cut out, or the sound of guns would continue even when there is no enemy and shots being fired.

I don't know enough about game design to say what can and what can't be fixed by launch. From my experience with beta's, the sound issues can be addressed unless the code messes with some other stuff. The frame rate issue might be what it is considering the engine being used and how graphically intense this game is. I'm sure over time this can be addressed to an extent, but someone much smarter than me can tell us more.

Anyone else notice anything?

One thing to remember is that this demo was a 6 week old build. They have said many things have already been updated or modded in their most up to date version.
