so it's shit
yes, my point proven exactly. If you go in hyper critical looking for things wrong with it, you're going to find things wrong with it. It's so much fun to focus on those things, refuse to play it (or buy then return after 2 hours saying it's shit), and then continue to complain online.
I've played 3 full playthroughs since release, and as someone who doesn't even know what bullet sponginess is - I've had a blast with the game. Being hyper critical and having ultra high expectations is a sure fire way to make sure you enjoy a lot less in life.
i beat the game 30+ hours first week of release. i gave it a full hearted chance. youre telling me im being nitpicky by saying the combat is an unbalanced mess?
Yes. That is what I'm saying.
Yes, it does get a bit easy towards the end, even on higher difficulties. That did not make me say it was a bad game at all though, you asked if it is "good" now. I think it's always been good, but I personally don't care about things like bullet sponginess or if I got "too many headshots". I just had a fun time playing it.
no it's not about how hard it is to get headshots it's about how little damage you inflict relative to you takw throughout the whole game, that whole 'god or balloon' imbalance causes combat to slog. that isnt a nitpick, thats one of the most important things a combat game (yes it's other things too) can have. it's nice you enjoyed though and i appreciate yourbhelp
Sounds to me like you should've invested in quickhack upgrades. Those can really help out in tough combat encounters.
It's an above average game. If you want a faced paced shooter it's not what you are looking for.. if you are looking for a game with a lively world, interesting characters and story telling, with some shooting attached, this game is awesome
Easily an 8/10 in it's current state. If you just want to shoot stuff and nothing else play something like doom eternal.
i never said i just wanted to shoot stuff, i can demand basic combat functionality and still want to play a game for stuff besides combat
Itβs only shit if you suck at games. The game plays fine. Could it be improved? Sure. Is it shit? No.
punch a tree in real life, doesnt come down in one hit? git gud
