Interesting game so far. Surprisingly playable on ultra quality on my 5 year old i5 4 core 8GB ram GTX 750 Ti potato. I was really worried that I would have to play on lowest settings.
I get about 15-20 FPS, which is doable. Probably will go a little lower when the pretty scenery has all been seen.
I had to fiddle with the post processing setting to remove the lighting glare and background motion blur.
Playing it off an SSD is a must. Lots of load screens.
Short clip of me playing the Interceptor. Watch in 1080p if you can - Youtube destroys video quality 
Game play is ok so far. Quite disappointing it is using dx11 thoughtā¦
No performance issues for me thought.
So far i ran into two bugs that stopped my story progression completely. To be honest this really annoyed me and even though Iāve managed to work around the bugs in order to progress, iās just made me not want to play anymore.
Below are some reddit posts (they do contain spoilers)
Wow, that sucks. Not quite there yet, I have the missions though. Probably will wait until Friday to see if the day 1 patch fixes it
Based on @CrONusā issues and all the other hiccups Iāve read about, that release day patch is going to end up being pretty big.
I did manage to get only about an hour or so in over the weekend. Just enough time to play through the intro/tutorial mission thing and have a little wander around Fort Tarsis. Didnāt have any issues at all, but not really representative at all I guess.
Did a little bit of freeplay this weekend. For the most part the people in it treated it like an MMO, everyone went off doing their own thing.
I completed world events for the one tomb trial quite easily on normal and was downed 2x soloing a titan, also with no issues.
I am finding the javelin and the build I have made quite satisfying, I already have 5 different builds, each quite different in application. I love the Colossus. Charging through enemies with my shield up and flattening them is a ton of fun. Laying down a firewall and then running away to lure enemies through it and then blowing them all up with a big boom finisher is cathartic as all hell.
All in all, having a lot of fun solo. Level 10 currently.
The whole alliance of friends thing is pretty interesting. The way the āguildā system works is that anyone that is on your friends list is in your alliance and you are in theirs. You score more in game coins based on the contribution of all your friends.
It is a little strange.
Also got to play a bit this weekend. Mostly played missions with PUGs, and it wasnāt bad at all. It didnāt feel like people were just rushing ahead and causing me to miss out on all the action, but maybe thatās because I was playing faster than I normally wouldā¦ not stopping to smell the roses or anything.
This build feels much smoother than the demo, and the default PC keyboard/mouse flight and swimming controls are much saner than before.
Iām enjoying the story missions so far, despite the departure point not being particularly gripping. The characters are interesting and Bioware really has improved its character animations in dialogue scenes.
That sucks. Iām not there yet, so Iāll read the posts as soon as I am.
Iāve also been wondering about this, along with several other design choices. Will be interesting to see if this doesnāt simply cause all Anthem players to friend one another.

Niceā¦ So iām the only one here that had to suffer through this 
Glad they fixed it this early
I think iām cursed with this game. Had to redo a story mission 3 times yesterday because i kept getting disconnected at the exact same point in the story mission. According to reddit restarting origin fixed the bug and i was able to progressā¦ ai
I see initial reviews arenāt looking too great. How are you guys finding the game?
It is a fun game but it is incomplete. That about sums it up for me I think. Donāt get me wrong, I am REALLY enjoying it but I see so many bad design decisions and broken features every time I play. I also see the same repetitive tasks strung out with some text to give them meaning, mission after mission.
I am so very very glad I āhiredā the game for a month.
Iām beginning to transition out of the honeymoon phase unfortunately. From the initial start of the game flying was amazing and swooping down waterfalls and through narrow caves made you feel like a total bad ass but the amount of bugs Iāve encountered that completely halt my story progression is becoming extremely tiring.
As @Shrike mentioned, the repetitive tasks are becoming a problem now and Iāve started skipping the NPC dialog because i just donāt care anymore.
Even though the game is installed on my SSD, loading into a mission can take a bit longer than Iām comfortable with. It almost feels like the game is waiting on everyone to load into the zone/map before your character is spawned and of course i always connect with the one person that has their game installed on their slow mechanical drive. Iāve literately gone to the bathroom, followed by getting something to drink in the kitchen, talked to my wife about what weāre doing the next day and came back to the game still loading. I did however read that they are working on fixing the loading times with the āday oneā patch so thatās a bonus i guess.
Things that annoy me about the game:
The list can go on but i donāt want to sit here and type the whole day. The negative things outweigh the positives for me unfortunately and i donāt see myself coming back to the game after i complete the story. Maybe the game just wasnāt made for me and someone else might find that Anthem is perfect for them - it comes down to the person i guess.
So renting the game was the right choice in my case and Iāll continue playing until Iāve reached the last story mission and killed the last boss at which point Iāll gracefully exit the game and uninstall it.
Iād like to see what you guys think of the ending.
I accidently saw it on Twitch over the weekend
Oof.
Iām kinda bummed. Iāve been reading a lot of reviews and watching gameplay, and I really want to love this - but by almost all accounts, this looks like a skip. Bummer, man.
Spot on video!
I think BioWare are worried about the response too. Just saw that they pushed the big Day 1 patch out yesterday already for those Early Access players, presumably in the hopes that they can sort some of the issues out before the wide release tomorrow.
ETA - Of course it doesnāt help that the very next thing I see is a āZero Day Patch Bug Reportsā Reddit thread with over 1.5k comments on it already. 
It took Digital Extremes awhile to āfixā Warframe to the point where itās the acclaimed game it is today. It took Bungie awhile to āfixā Destiny 2 (though the fact that there is even a Destiny 2 speaks volumes of this ālive serviceā nonsense the big publishers are trying to foist on gamers).
While there is similar hope for Anthem, the fact is I couldnāt recommend it as it is right now either.
Hopefully they have enough money to spend the next 6 months to a year to fix this.
Dropping R1k on the promise of a game that will continue to be updated, which has deep-rooted problems, is just too much to ask.
