I feel like I'm in an alternate universe or something when goons talk about Control because to me it's a perfectly average game in terms of the difficulty. I died maybe a few times on the toughest bosses and yet you get screeds from people who wiped for two hours in the same exact spot.

Yeah if you're getting your rear end kicked in Control there's probably something you're not taking advantage of. Use Shield to run out and get health from anyone you managed to down (or even damage). Get back into cover while Seizing so long as you stay within the maximum distance of the target enemy. Make sure your mod loadout complements what you like to focus on.

Unless you're working on the one or two fights that really are huge slogs, but that doesn't really happen until the very end of the game.

I think the gun I ended up using the most was the charge one (pierce??) with damage/headshot mods because it seemed way stronger than all the others (launch is also extremely good)

You can make your own mods in Central Executive with the random stuff you pick up. But failing that, -recoil on Shatter is actually pretty good.

I don't have enough randomly dropped materials for a roll on the gacha, and Shatter's recoil is already fine

probably shouldnt be shocking that games from japan arent going to signify japanese people with t he same markers western media would. however westerners and especially americans in a lot of jpn stuff are extremely obvious because they do do it for those characters instead.

More Control Tips: don't use Launch in close quarters, because it will randomly pick up explosive objects that are completely out of view

also don't bother throwing enemies' rockets back at them because they do less damage over a smaller area than rocks

they usually do that for translations because going for the actual japanese regional stuff wouldnt translate but ace attorney goes real hard with it which is why this comic exists

There's that one case in Spirit of Justice where someone gets killed at a rakugo theatre and the details of the murder revolve around specific types of soba noodles or w/e

it feels like they're just messing with the localisation team at that point

Amazon Prime members get Forsaken Remaster for free this month. I remember that game with rose tinted glasses and I doubt it is that good today. I just remember it being one of the flagship 3d accelerator required games back in the day to show off how powerful the 3dFX graphic cards were.

Thanks for the update. This will go great with the copy of Overload they gave away sometime ago. RIP those devs. Overload was a better Descent than the actual sequel we just got.

Control kind of punishes you for using cover. Always be moving, the enemies suck at leading their shots and the game expects you to be all over the place to succeed.
