And this just in, I suck at it.
Something I’m struggling with: I don’t like it, but I want to.
I’ve only played like 2 hours, and I only bought it bc from software, but it looks soooo cool. I suck at most fromsoft games in the beginning, but the repetition and watching yourself get better as you master the mechanics was what got me.
But I don’t know with this one. I’m not complaining, everyone has their cup of tea. Just can’t decide if I’m going to give up on it or keep trying. I’m very very happy that it’s successful tho!
If I was able to beat Steel Battalion, I sure as shit can handle this. Even if the boss at the end of chapter 1 is a huge douche nozzle with his god damn wall of missiles and speedy movement for his ridiculous size and god damn shield that sometimes doesn't even take damage when I chip away at it, or my guns won't fire despite not being reloaded or overheated...
Me too. I am glad I pirated it and not bought it..
As an AC veteran greatly enjoying the new game after many years waiting, I feel vindicated.
And don't worry about sucking at this game! Even I had to spend 6 hours fighting Balteus to finally defeat it. Stick with the game, try different builds until something works for you.
Not everyone has the time or patience to fight a boss for 6 hours. I guess I will stick with my boring ass games with easy modes. No offense to you.
I just finished the first really hard boss (Balteus) and I'm having a ball. Can recommend. But play it on PC with KB+M. I know it's a fromsoft game, but the KB+M controls are 10X as good as gamepad controls.
I feel like I would have beat Balteus by now if I had the game on PC instead of PS5. Even with the auto lock aiming, this asshole moves around faster than I can turn the camera with a stick, even with the camera speed at 10.
Edit: Wait... Does the PS5 version support M&KB...? 🤔 I'll have to try later when I have the chance.
I had a decent time fighting balteus but sea spider is going to make me put my controller through my TV.
Fly above him, use missiles, land only when necessary to replenish energy.
Wow. It dropped at a rough time, too. BG3 is still going nuts and Starfield is coming soon. It's the kind of thing I'd love to check out but those two (and probably Madden because it's football season) are just going to eat the absolute hell out of my time.
I'm loving every second of it. Already on NG++. Feels great on PC with KB+M. I'm in heaven.
I play almost every game genre, but mechs have always had zero interest to me personally
Was really tempted to buy it, but it sounds like it’s too much of a grind for my taste.
There is no grind. Parts sell for 100% value, and even the training missions give you valuable parts, so with no grinding I'm pretty much at exactly the mech I wanted from all the parts available.
The game is difficult, but it's rewarding about it. The fights are hard but also fun and interesting and the game gives you tons of interesting parts to try loadouts.
No grind? If you want to buy everything, you will need to grind. Doing the missions once doesn't net you a lot of money, but you can replay missions to make more money. You also will probably miss the optional objectives that can unlock parts you can't buy in the shop unless you replay the mission (or are playing with a guide).
Honestly I have had no grinding. I'm through new game, and a bit into ng+. I haven't had any money issues, and parts resell for full value. Unless you count dying on a fight a dozen or so times grinding.
