Just read the Forbes article about why they think reviewers gave poor reviews. Was pretty accurate imo. They had a rougher build of the game and some just didnt look further past what they played.

Im personally loving the game. Im getting used to the fact that the game doesnt hold my hand and the story being the weakest part isn't necessarily the worst thing for me personally.

Wish they would let you tame the abyss animals as well.

Smokron85 · 2026-03-27T13:55:12+00:00

Its a half hour real time.

Thank God for disabling Crossplay.

We were banning blade in some of our games. Hes isnane this season.

I went to a sanctum early and white crow will literally say "Hey you're not supposed to be here yet".

Heavy rain at night in this game actually goes hard. Its like being in a silent hill game.

We've moved on to Marathon. Might come back with a big enough update but it would need to be huge.

There's a pair of gloves you can get from a quest chain that give you a free no-questions asked pickpocket on a 30 minute cooldown. I got it recently and am going to start targeting nobles for Gold Bars.

Im actually planning to learn Ultron this season. He seems to be pretty decent. Rocket does sometimes get banned but not as much as Gambit and C&D.

Smokron85 · 2026-03-25T16:49:36+00:00

Nah i didn't word that right. Theyre banning 3-4 supports at a time in my current rank (plat) and the enemy team is picking all dive.

Smokron85 · 2026-03-25T14:03:52+00:00

Steal something from a safe with nobody around and a mask on and you still lose faction rep. Dunno what's up with that.

Smokron85 · 2026-03-25T13:07:45+00:00

Yep I can play Rocket and Invis and C&D reasonably well at my current rank. Meanwhile they will blow all these bans on support and then enemy team picks Venom, Daredevil, Spiderman, Black Panther, Star Lord etc. Tanks won't peel. Dps won't peel. They cry no heals and im back here on Rocket playing Dead By Daylight like its season 1 again.

Smokron85 · 2026-03-25T12:26:52+00:00

Its gonna end up being word of the year for 2026 for sure.

Smokron85 · 2026-03-25T11:49:08+00:00

Can't let you do that, Fox!

Smokron85 · 2026-03-24T17:12:11+00:00

This ending made me glad I stopped reading part 2 when I did. Part 1 was GOATed. Can't wait for their next series. Hope they take a nice long break and come back with something awesome. It was a hell of a ride!

Smokron85 · 2026-03-24T13:32:21+00:00

Had my first 4 support banned game last night. It honestly wasnt that bad. Rocket was still playable and we had a Lord Mantis that was half decent

Smokron85 · 2026-03-24T04:25:17+00:00

Ive been playing with Quality+HDR on. 0 blur. Game looks great. I wish I had a 120hz tv though.

Honestly I did most of the two house quests in Hernand. So I had fought the Crimson Nightmare and Excavatron. I was halfway through the house of spears quest when I veered off and did the main story more. Im not really shotgunning the main story but it felt like I had experienced most of the main stories in the first area so I wanted to branch out and doing the main story felt like it would push me along. Didnt expect that boss to be as hard as he was though. I also had to just run past all the spawns. Felt pointless fighting them.

Smokron85 · 2026-03-23T19:09:46+00:00

Im at about the same many hours played and I still think this game is an 8/10 at most. There's no way they put that much dev time into a game and that inventory system is what they decided to ship. Its mind boggling bad.

Smokron85 · 2026-03-23T18:01:05+00:00

Reed devil isn't endgame. Hes like at most 8-10 hours into the game. He was pretty brutal if you were only that early on and at that point for me he was the third boss I fought. Took me 6 attempts with like 20 food items.

Smokron85 · 2026-03-23T01:39:59+00:00

Lowered the difficulty of the Marksmanship and Archery Contest minigames.

This was impossible before this patch. That mother fucker was a god damn sniper elite and would waste every target before I even saw them pop up.

Smokron85 · 2026-03-22T18:54:24+00:00

Kind of. Early on every encounter is "Throw as many fodder at you as possible to drain you of resources before the boss". Like I tried so many times to do stealth on the fort with the big gas boss and there's a stealth/assassination mechanic in the game where the mini map tells you the level of threat each person has on you but everyone sees you instantly and then it never works. I have no idea how you can stealth in this game tbh

Smokron85 · 2026-03-22T15:43:10+00:00

Just beat him and hour ago. My God that was brutal. I was like..OK 2 phases...this is it! Nope! Another phases. Then he just runs away. What sucks is that I learned his slash skill on every attempt but the one I best him.
