Yeah, but in that case you wouldn't shoot a load of rockets at it right? This tells me either ammo isn't an issue in this, which would be weird, or it was just something they did to show off some cool rockets in a gameplay section...

And it makes it look like a weak enemy if you can just fly past it while shooting and not fear for your safety.

Uhuh, a big guy like that in other games it'd be like oh shame oh shame he's coming towards me.

Maybe the jet packs in this make it quite easy, hard to die?

I'd love to see things that throw boulders and knock you out of the sky. Jetpacks could easily be game breaking since so far I don't see any reason to ever go on the ground.

It'd be very surprising if you could play offline.

One can hope

Why would we hope it can be played offline? Doesn't make a difference to most people in modern society

Cause options are good. Also is a sign of what the game's priorities are.

Because playing games is fun when the internet is down.

Well we knew this was an online game, so it'd be weird if it can be played offline. If its an online game like Destiny I'm hoping that it isn't an option to play offline, because that can open it to hackers and stuff like that.

Pfft just get better internet.

Probably the latter! But who knows with Bioware anymore. lol

Oh didn't realise this but Sea of Solitude has been around for a while

I guess I wasn't clear enough about this so let me try again: I was saying that there was no real narrative WITHIN THE TINY SLICE WE GOT TO SEE/PLAY -- which is perfectly understandable in a random 15-minute demo of any game. I'm not saying Anthem has no narrative, folks.

I'm on the hype train.

If only it was that easy.
