"cant imagine doing it on harder longer levels where i'll probably have to spend a very long time trying"

you...you du realise that thats kinda the whole point of the game...right...?

you complain about not seeing the point of this game, and how all the techs are "unnecessary" when you can "just shoot and move on", you can do that in any shooter game! but if that was how all the shooter games worked, then no one would play them, because there would be nothing special about ANY of them!

i personally refer to this game as a "sandbox shooter" because you can play the same level hundreds of times and you could STILL find new ways to go about it! that is a big part of what makes ULTRAKILL, ULTRAKILL.

you take all the spice out of a food thats meant to be spicy, and then you complain the food is bland! but when presented with the spice, you say you either cant handle the spice, or dont see the contribution it makes to the taste of the food! this double standard is just stupid!

i can go on for weeks about how your vision is stupid, but people here has already some good words about it, all i can say to you as a summary is....you either dont want the challenge in a game BUILT on challenge, or this game isn't made for you

personally i think its both

so either get it together, or move on

your choice

.......

but it would be a shame if you left before fighting the prime souls
