I'm level 25, world tier 7 and things weren't going too badly but the last few areas have seen a massive difficulty spike, I'm being melted by pretty much everything and it's forcing me to play the game as a cover shooter which is boring as fuck in this game. The worst thing is I'm not entirely sure why everything is shredding me all of a sudden, this game is supposed to be a bit of a power trip and being raped by mooks repeatedly isn't exactly fun. Unless the game actually drops some helpful equipment soon I'll just bid it bollocks and drop the world tier down to 5 and run to the end. Yeah - the difficulty is all over the shop. You can melt through people in one section and then get absolutely screwed over on the next. Are you playing co-op? It's a heck f a lot easier, the difficulty doesn't seem to ramp up by much with other players, and the revive you get is invaluable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Just got this as a rental today. It’s....ok. I suppose. The combat is fine, but I don’t really give a toss about the story. From what I’ve heard, it doesn’t amount to much anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Just had several sessions today where this has utterly refused to load, at all. Glad I only rented it, can’t be arsed with it, so back it goes. Shame. Bulletstorm was a lot of fun. This, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Decided to start the full game now after all and played up until the point where I stopped the demo (right after beating Electro). That was a big demo btw. in hindsight. Started from scratch instead of importing my character and went for the Technomancer instead of the Pyro because I was struggling to stay alive quite a bit in the demo and Technomancer's passive of self-healing for every shot you pt into an enemy seemed like the kind of help I needed. It's not as "empowering" a class as the pyromancer as you're not throwing fire around the map, but the turrets and gadgets you put on the screen are really powerful. There were a couple of situation where I had to restart a battle as the pyro but with this class it was just smooth sailing all along (though maybe they adjusted some stuff for the final release, no idea). Still think it's god primitive fun and the ideal game for times like these when it's 5000° outside and you can't focus on anything remotely serious.

Maryokutai Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I have to say, even though I expected a solid shooter from People can Fly and enjoyed the demo, I'm still surprised how much I like this game. It's just very fun classic videogame stuff that keeps rewarding you with loot, level-ups, new skills etc. at frequent enough intervals to keep you motivated. Unlike, say, Destiny, it's also a perfectly fine single-player game with a clear, linear and easy-to-understand structure, an okay storyline and surprisingly diverse (visually) areas. It doesn't get too crazy with mission design, probably because shooting a bunch of enemies in an arena is the easiest way to make something that works both alone and with friends, but the immediate gameplay is fun enough for that to not become too big of an issue. And to be fair, the competition doesn't really shine in that regard either, Gears is just arena after arena as well. The only annoying thing is that it is an online-only game. I had to stop playing the day before yesterday because there was server maintenance and it takes forever to log in when you boot up the game. I have no plans at all to ever play this in multiplayer so it's a bit dumb I have to go through all that. This also makes sure that I will never buy the disc version for the collection because it will be useless in five years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyKurosaki Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I didn’t hate this game. I just found it exceptionally boring. Bulletstorm was bloody amazing. In comparison this was spectacularly meh. Could i try it again on my PS5? Yes. Am I going to? Will I bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I get why people are pretty medium on this game. It's quite basic in both it's 3rd person shooting and loot progression. Lot of games doing these things a lot more interestingly. But I dunno. It's basic fun. I'm playing the Trickster Class which lets my guy use a massive energy sword, slow down time, and teleport behind people. Not sure what is so Trickster about 2 of those powers but it's fun enough. Remember when Giant Bomb used to talk about B games? It's like a good B game (Despite having really high production, the type and overall quality of it makes it feel like a B game) I'm enjoying it. I like shooting stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 The game this reminds me of most is Borderlands 1. Firstly because yeah it’s a loot shooter. Also because it’s basic, repetitive, straight forward, a lot of enemies run at you. But most importantly I get bored of it after playing for an hour. Then after 10 minutes I have this itch to pick it back up and play more. It’s true dumb fun. Anyway I beat the big lava spider boss. I didn’t really understand where the weak points were on it’s 3rd phase but managed to win so I’ll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I started this before I had to rush off to work, so only 30 minutes with scenes skipped. It’s alright isn’t it. Nothing massively magical but good solid fun. Dunno if it’s had an upgrade on SX but it looks lush. Nice popping colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
