Wamdoodle posted:The scope makes the heavy machine gun get a damage upgrade when zoomed in. I was able to run around headshotting demons even during the frantic Gore Nest cleanings. Will agree with the rotary upgrade on the chaingun. It would be better suited if this game had a linear upgrade path. Yeah, the scope is insanely good. Yes, you're looking through a scope but it's basically only slightly different from regular shooting and in exchange you get insanely powerful bullets that pierce enemies and do ridiculous headshot damage. They burn through enemy health bars like it's nothing and ammo is plentiful. It's my go-to default weapon because anything short of the highest-end enemies is dead in seconds. Also poo poo, how is this game so fun?

The stun grenade was the first thing I maxed and it is basically a win button. Honestly the only thing I don't like is the chainsaw. It feels too limited for what it is so I keep forgetting to use it unless I need ammo.

Gumbel2Gumbel posted:It gets pretty useful in certain situations later, especially when two Barons spawn at once. Chainsaw one, focus on the other one. I admit my go-to there is stun grenade and maybe decoy but stun grenade and decoy break a hilarious amount of combat encounters.

Glory Kills are a good addition I think. I'd argue they're better than medkits in that they encourage you to get back into the fight instead of frantically searching around for a box. I wish the speed they had with the Glory Kills Go Faster rune was the default but that's about it.

I went for Glory Kills From Further Away (way more useful than stagger + I think), Armor On Kill and Equipment Power. Holy poo poo people, if you don't upgrade equipment give it a shot. High-level grenades and Holograms are like cheat buttons.

Samurai Sanders posted:I don't have the BFG yet but my weapon wheel is full, where does it go? It's got a dedicated thing like chainsaw. The BFG is just basically a "I don't really want to do this fight" button more than a regular weapon. I actually didn't use it much because the fights are so fun I don't want to skip them.

Bardeh posted:I've had two bugs in the final two missions where I've had to restart from latest checkpoint, and then in the final mission I have to restart the entire mission to get past a door that won't open. It looks as if it's open but there's an invisible wall there. I got stuck inside places that I couldn't jump out from a few times and once I got to the last area it crashed multiple times. Very annoying for otherwise polish.

Your weapons are already absurdly powerful and zombies already go down in mere seconds. If anything I felt enemies were too squishy beyond a certain point. Having more of them wouldn't help with a Super Shotgun already clears a bunch with a single shot anyway.

I wish I liked the pistol. It's the only weapon in the game I basically never used outside of the first level or two. I get they wanted it to be your backup weapon and not be too powerful but it just feels so crappy.

I like just being able to play the frigging game and not having to do a bunch of cutscenes and in-between bullshit to get to the fun parts. This is gonna ruin shooters for me for the next few years probably. At least single-player ones.

Segmentation Fault posted:There's too many Gone Homes and Life Is Stranges IMO, and until recently there haven't been enough Dooms and Wolfensteins. This is really silly. The number of games-that-are-games dwarfs the number of 'walking simulators.' They may not be exactly in the flavor you want but there are plenty of Bayonettas, Marios, Binding of Isaacs, or countless other games. Maybe if you narrow it down to just first-person games there's a greater disparity but even then there are plenty of things ranging from Call of Juarez: Gunslinger to Borderlands to Overwatch.

Phobophilia posted:frisk will become doomguy's friend It's been done already.  the OFFICIAL DOOM NOVELS feature a sequel where the Doomguy returns to Doom (perhaps, as you say, in a NG+) and rather tha killing demons he converts them to Christianity where they become his friends. This is a mechanic that Doom 5 needs to borrow I feel.

Primetime posted:So how long before someone mods the game to have a permanent berserk mode? One of the most disappointing things to me is that they give 1-2 packs for the first few levels, then around level 5 you never see one again. There's at least one berserk pack in every level, usually somewhere in one of the big fight arenas. I know there's 2 or even 3 in the later stages.

Steve2911 posted:Fun game. I am literally glory killing everything possible and I'm not sure if this is awesome or a problem with the design. I genuinely think Glory Kills are well designed. Early on you can do it to everyone but as the game progresses they last long enough that you don't want to do it stupidly unless you're using the Rune that speeds them up. It's sometimes faster to just shoot enemies than to Glory Kill them and since enemies drop health when you're low on health (if less than a Glory Kill) it's not obligated to get back into the action. It's a good risk/reward feature.

Wanderer posted:Co-signed on the siphon grenades in boss fights. The last boss in particular has some big windows in which you can get the full duration out of the siphon dome, and if you're at full health, the siphon will switch over to topping up your armor. Also, siphon grenades seem to recharge super fast compared to everything else. Yeah, siphon grenades are absurdly powerful. Once you get them you're basically not going to die unless it's too quick for you to respond. It's great, especially with the equipment power up items

Holograms in particular are incredibly strong and will give you plenty of time to wreck dude's faces while they shoot ineffectually at the fake mans.

NESguerilla posted:So people really love the super shotgun right? It's seemed super bad to me since I got it. Is there some upgrade I need? Because it seems worse than the regular shotgun. The maximum-level upgrade lets you fire two shots which takes it from "good" to "broken" but even by default its base damage is absurd. Get right up into their face. It can take out ANYTHING in a few shots.

The Rocket Launcher is a good solid all-around weapon but it's not the biggest stick on the field which takes some getting used to. The Gauss Cannon is more Rocket Launcher than Rocket Launcher and honestly the launcher is better if you don't try to conserve ammo for a 'big' enemy and use it more willy-nilly. I absolutely preferred the scope for the HMG though. The fully upgraded gun tears through poo poo hilariously easily. I'm sort of tempted to do another playthrough and just try all the upgrades I didn't favor to see if it changes my mind but... eh, Overwatch in ~4 hours.

I'm not super fond of the chainsaw largely because a one-hit kill isn't that useful to me compared to 5+ free refills of ammo and if I really do need to oneshot something I have a bunch of BFG ammo I forget to use anyway. I'm not sure how they could have made it better though.

Maluco Marinero posted:Yeah, I feel like if you can see through the hyperbole and stop worrying about whether or not he likes the game, you can usually count on a zero punctuation review to actually highlight a game's flaws remarkably accurately for a comedy routine. Absolutely not. He frequently gets basic mechanics wrong, claims things are flaws that aren't actually flaws he just misunderstood something, and very obviously will repeat criticisms he heard elsewhere and didn't fact check when he doesn't like a game enough to get far into it. He's really bad even just as a "the guy who lists the bad parts of games" unless you're specifically looking for someone to echo chamber your own opinions. I liked the new Wolfenstein but I can't replay it because the non-combat segments really really slow the pacing down a lot. If there was an "arcade' mode that just pushed to the stealth/action segments then I'd gladly play that. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 04:00 on Jun 5, 2016 |
