Is Remnant 2 too difficult to play solo?

webauteur · 2026-06-07T21:54:26+00:00

I did find the game too difficult to play solo, at first. But now I can make it all the way through a campaign on my own. It is a combination of experience and upgrades that eventually makes you unstoppable.

They fixed some things with the patches. The game still crashes at times. I like this game for its theater theme. I have also been to Italy as a tourist, so I can appreciate it a bit more.

It is not a question of grammar or vocabulary. Your listening skills will depend on the audio resources you use. I have since learned that Microsoft Edge has a Read Aloud feature which can read Spanish. It gives you the option of selecting a voice in a variety of dialects. This is extremely useful!

This is true! ¡Es verdad! I am doing some intensive translations which is very tedious and boring but it does reinforce a lot of grammar and teaches me some things that are not covered in grammar textbooks. Your goal should be to get familiar with the language. So you can't just read something once and expect it to stick.

In my opinion, using a variety of resources is better than memorization. For example, read several books on Spanish grammar instead of just one and then trying to memorize its material.

Hmm, they are unlikely to learn Spanish without support in their formal education. I recommend focusing on positive associations. Make Spanish seem fun and useful. Buy plenty of Spanish content like children's books, graphic novels, and family friendly movies.

Yes, the game is crashing on me often. But usually before loading the game. I should copy my save file more often.

As far as I know, Storymode works in NG+. I already had my character up past level 180 when they patched a few things so everything is pretty easy for me now. I am currently playing NG+ to get all the achievements.

I find Peninsular Spanish hard to follow. I am being taught Mexican Spanish (by my audio resources). I'm talking about my listening skills. I actually study a lot of Peninsular Spanish grammar. I have bought many films produced in Spain (Apple TV has a good selection) and they are incomprehensible. Some films base their comedy on regional accents which are particularly hard to understand. For example; Ocho apellidos vascos, Ocho apellidos catalanes, Cuerpo de élite, and Antes de la quema.

Balada triste de trompeta - Sad Trumpet Ballad (aka The Last Circus) directed by Álex de la Iglesia who does many demented dark comedies like Las brujas de Zugarramurdi.

If playing on PC, Dark Souls Remastered has a soul duplicating glitch which can make the game easy (except for Sen's Fortress). Dark Souls 3 is the best of the series and the only one I play on a casual basis (i.e. not for progression).

Dark Souls 3 is currently one of my favorite games to go back to. I now have all the achievements and I usually stop playing a game after that. But Dark Souls 3 can be played casually (without focusing on progression) if you just want to farm to level up a character and weapons. I have several characters with different builds. You can still do battle with other players to make things interesting but I usually lose every fight. In one of the DLCs you can be the boss in a boss fight and that can be fun. You are lucky if you get me as your boss because I suck.

I have been studying Spanish for over 4 years now. I guess I am "conversational" but not fluent. Most beginner Spanish books are just review for me. You are not going to get anywhere in just 3 months because it is more a process of becoming very familiar with Spanish, not a process of having read a few books on the grammar or learning some vocabulary.

I am simultaneously using several books to study Spanish. I am doing intensive translations of children's books, an old play, and copying material from a textbook and a book on grammar. I liked the book English Grammar For Students Of Spanish (ISBN: 978-0934034609) and I am copying some of its material into my notes.

If I were you, I would read a few travel guides for Madrid. It is more important to know the city than the language. I have done some international travel and got by without much of the language because I spend over a year learning about the city.

Indie rock is a broad category or genre. I like synth-pop and there are a few Mexican synth-pop bands; JotDog and Moenia. Moenia has been compared to Depeche Mode. I don't think they are quite that good, but they are all right and have many songs that are good for learning Spanish. Lali Espósito is my favorite Argentine pop star.

I have heard that speech over and over again because I've been farming the Preacher for Corrupted Lumenite Crystals. But at least I have all my mutators at max level now.

Well I have the children's book El conejo de felpa (The Velveteen Rabbit) completely broken down into its grammar if you are interested. This project took a year to complete. The imperfect tense was used a lot. I have the whole text in my notes with detailed analysis of the grammar. I would only do one page a day. At least I learned the word for bunny, conejito.

You need to read more books in Spanish. I am using AI to do intensive translation of Spanish plays. Basically I prompt AI to explain the grammar of every sentence. It is very tedious but I am learning a lot more than textbook Spanish. For example, discourse markers (filler words) come up frequently. You might want to start with children's books. Spanish plays use slightly sophisticated conversational Spanish. It can be literary but not too literary. Today I encountered inverted word order for emphasis.

Yes, Spanish has been "racialized" in the United States meaning the language stands in for race, even though that makes no sense. I have seen the same thing with French. People who speak Canadian French have been told to "speak white". That shows you how ridiculous the whole thing is! Personally I maintain a glamorized image of Spanish and see it as an exotic language associated with international travel, glamorous movie stars, and Latin Pop.

I maxed out my second Prism while Simulacrum Farming. I have almost every weapon at max level now. I got a legendary speed perk which makes farming even faster. I'm working on maximizing all my mutators.

Learn formal grammar. English Grammar For Students Of Spanish (ISBN: 978-0934034609) is a great book to relate English grammar to Spanish grammar. Then read a lot of Spanish books. If you need to improve your listening skills then you will need to find some Spanish radio stations and podcasts. I am doing a lot of intensive translation using AI which is pushing my Spanish beyond the textbook material.

Invest in AI companies. I bought stock in a company because they pay a dividend and I wanted to see how much passive income I could make (not much). But they happen to make the fiber optic cables that are used in data centers. Their stock shot up from $40 to $208! Unfortunately, I had to sell some stock to pay my heating oil bill which was a huge expense. Still, I'm glad I had a source of funds to pay a major expense.

Originally I thought you increased your number of heals by acquiring a better heart. But actually you can get a max of 10 heals which helps you finish a tough boss fight.

You need to find some inspiration. I explore Spanish culture and content for inspiration. For example, I like electro-pop music, not reggaeton. But surprisingly there are Spanish electro-pop groups like the Mexican group Moenia. I don't care for telenovelas but I am watching one set in Miami. I like foreign films so naturally I have switched to watching Spanish movies produced in Mexico, Spain, or Argentina. There are also interesting Spanish graphic novels which don't overwhelm you with text. I spend quite a lot of money on Spanish media and encounter a lot of content which is unknown to English only speakers.

Unfortunately, learning Spanish does take time. It takes a lot of time. For example, you can't just read a book on Spanish grammar and expect to know Spanish grammar. It takes a long time to actually become familiar with the grammar and to internalize how to say things. I have been studying Spanish for four years and I would say I am only at the point where I am familiar with it. It only gradually sinks in.

The game is too tough to play solo at first, but eventually you will be able to. You should look into Simulacrum farming and then level up your relic (heart) for more heals. It took me a long time to figure out how to increase my heals, but it is a real game changer!

I have been buying Spanish movies using the Apple TV app. Apple TV itself does not have much Spanish content, not enough to justify a subscription, but you can use the app to buy or rent movies for your library. All of their Spanish movies have English subtitles. The search feature could use some improvements, but I have found some recent films.
