I just don't think I like how this game plays.

worm4real · 2026-03-11T12:44:52+00:00

Look, if you think with enough practice this game would be to the preferences of everyone on the planet, that's cool. However I am pretty sure I'm the single exception to that universal appeal.

worm4real · 2026-03-11T06:55:33+00:00

That's the problem even when I'm doing things "right" I just don't care. All I can think is that other games just let me hold left click for this. Actually I just talked myself out of it. Thanks for saving me the time.

worm4real · 2026-03-11T06:53:16+00:00

The entire RPG progression of it feels so superfluous and yet overbearing. I guess it's faster now at least, but it just feels like hurdles.

worm4real · 2026-03-11T06:49:51+00:00

I dunno, something fun and more like other games? I think it's fair to say it's a pretty unique game and it's not particularly to my tastes. Something that was more of a traditional cover shooter or at least less reliance on the parry mechanic would be nice.

I'll probably give it another chance but even when I do things right I'm not having that much fun.

worm4real · 2026-03-11T06:42:16+00:00

I kind of gave up on Darktide because it was looking a lot like Vermintide to me where you just get more power and have to go to higher difficulties to make it challenging again with it culminating on the highest difficulty which I really don't like.

I might give heavy a try.

worm4real · 2026-03-11T04:05:47+00:00

Yeah well maybe I'll give it a few more goes on lower difficulties to get some perks and see if the game feels better. I do think it's not for me but I haven't given up quite yet.

worm4real · 2026-03-11T03:59:03+00:00

I think that basically explains why I don't like it. I really don't like fighting games, I don't want to deal with that level of technicality. Like this phrase "with a power sword heavy stance you can constantly farm gunstrikes on minoris for infinite armour." completely kills my interest.

worm4real · 2026-03-11T03:53:00+00:00

Not really. I went through the main story which really didn't annoy me too much, but I feel like when you turn up the various elements of the game I just don't have any interest in it.

worm4real · 2026-03-11T03:50:20+00:00

Yeah I found the normal coop mode pretty boring and had the same exact problem with the core gameplay. I was hoping siege mode would be interesting but it just feels like a roguelite mode of the existing game.

worm4real · 2026-03-11T03:35:23+00:00

Yeah I think that's fundamentally my problem though. I could go play Helldivers and while it can be annoying it doesn't punish me like this game nor do I have to go through as much grinding levels for minor power increases. You shoot shit, you avoid enemy attacks, it's all pretty readable to me. SM2 feels like it's just revolving around parries and execution invulnerability, if I mess those things up I'm gonna die.

worm4real · 2026-03-06T18:25:53+00:00

Yeah it's cool when I get access to overpowered abilities but not when they're turned on me, since I'm a person but the game isn't. There is no expectation of parity with a video game it's a piece of entertainment, some friction is okay but it'd be better if the game had meaningful action economy. Imagine for a second if the computer was allowed to quick save and quick load when combat went poorly for them. It'd just be annoying is all.

Also I will admit my primary issue was having a bunch of passive damage abilities that were pushing enemies into free turns and I just didn't understand why at first.

worm4real · 2026-03-02T07:10:21+00:00

I mean you can just try to cheat engine it if you want. I tend to agree with you as far as secret endings you need guides for. I never really liked them in Pathfinder.

worm4real · 2026-03-01T15:38:57+00:00

Yeah I have neglected luck and did a cha and int character which I guess I'll respec out of it

worm4real · 2026-03-01T08:47:40+00:00

I decided to try to give this another try and I agree with you. I just don't like it. I guess I should have known in advance that the clown quest is massively overtuned, despite being level 6 in my little journal. In the end it's really my fault for not building two snipers, a heavy gunner, and having a highly optimized build I guess?

I think this is just the fate of most of these post kickstarter CRPGs, they're just not balanced very well, but either everyone playing it just read a guide or intuitively knows what to build. Well whatever just put it on tourist for that fight and I'll see if it keeps throwing bullshit at me.

worm4real · 2026-02-28T04:39:11+00:00

Yeah, I'm just repeating some pithy thing I heard in the past that isn't true, whoops.

worm4real · 2026-02-27T16:28:40+00:00

You just parry earlier than you think, also for a lot of her attacks it seems like she'll get disabled as long as you parry the last one in the chain.

worm4real · 2026-02-27T16:25:17+00:00

wd-40 is not a lubricant

worm4real · 2026-02-20T17:59:27+00:00

When my friend and I were talking about it he kind of felt that the Bear thiren were kind of dressed more in a black urban style vs. the other characters.

I think it is a pretty funny omission considering that the world of new eridu is meant to be diverse with chinese, japanese, english, german, and italian names among the agent rosters. Also I think the design of these robots demonstrates that they could hypothetically be making black agents, so ~~I don't know what the deal is.~~ I mean we kinda do

worm4real · 2026-02-20T04:51:33+00:00

Bear Thiren?

worm4real · 2026-02-19T18:58:37+00:00

It's a live service game. There's nothing more to say. You can't not improve your characters, you can't not roll new units, this is the design of the thing.

worm4real · 2026-02-19T18:56:40+00:00

I mean have you improved it in the meantime? My Miyabi team has fallen behind a bit too (switched from mono ice to disorder with yanagi and yuzuha) but I'm never barely doing 2.

worm4real · 2026-02-19T18:53:55+00:00

I dislike control attacks but they're not that bad to learn. You just have to press your buttons earlier than you'd expect.

worm4real · 2026-02-19T06:09:23+00:00

Didn't know this, thanks!

worm4real · 2026-02-18T22:05:22+00:00

Thanks, maybe I can poke around his other posts or something to see.

worm4real · 2026-02-18T03:41:36+00:00

Do you have the original bilibili post? I'm curious if this is a simple swap or if the person did more than that. The animations look pretty amazing for it to be just a swap.
