Skill Up straight up shytted on this game.

He basically says the game is too dumbed down for its own good. Isn't a challenge. Doesn't properly utilize its time aspect because time only really moves when you go to the menu not while playing the game itself. The story and ending don't hold up.

GameSpot gave it game of the year. I still haven't gotten around to playing it but I will soon.

It’s going to continue to be a divisive game and thats part of the reason i like it

I don't 100% disagree with what he's saying though, aside from the time aspect. Im glad it only moves between levels

Once you infuse a few good guns, slabs, and trinkets there is a definite noticeable drop in difficulty.

it went from being very confusing during the tutorial to being a little bit too easy…I think it’s strengths are the story/characterization…the gunplay/gameplay was decent overall…but I do wish there was a gameplay setting so you can create an experience that’s more suitable to each player…as an FPS, I felt it was too easy and yes the concept was “dumbed down” after the tutorial…still felt it was a great experience overall…was hoping for DLC but it’s not looking too likely at least not prior to the game coming over to xbox (and I’ll play it again when it does :yes:)

Put some more hours into this and so far I'm not understanding the complaints about it being too easy. Because I'm getting merked. I don't know if I'm approaching leads in the wrong order or what. I guess repeatedly "dying" is the point though. As for the AI, it makes complete sense why enemies behave in the manner in which they do. This game is less of an immersive sim with endless possibilities and more of a puzzle with a finite set of solutions. It plays nothing like Prey or Dishonored nor does it try to lol. :mjpls: People were tripping. Closest thing I can think to compare it to is something like Hitman? I'm liking it so far, I just need one of these slabs already.

It gets really easy really fast.

Once you get a couple of op guns and slabs you’re gonna be wrecking

I can believe that. That's why I'm dying to get that shift slab. I I've killed 2 visionaries (post-infusion lady) already but keep getting killed on my escape. I don't know what the hell it is because I clear a path on my way in. Kill the grunts. Disengage all turrets and sensors. I would like to think they're not respawning or repositioning but idk.

If you really want to break the game early you can just farm juliannas. She drops like 2 slabs and a good gun every time you kill her.

I just finished it like a week ago. It's really good and clever and fun. Definitely a bit easy though. The stealth was fun and really felt good but really you could just go in blasting and be fine most of the time.

Once I got that gun that you can switch between dual pistol and automatic it was a wrap.

Also the nexus power was kinda op. Cool as fukk and fun to use though.

nerds be analyzing the shyt out of games instead of playing it. Yes, the game gets easy after a while. Aside from dark souls I haven’t played one that hasn’t.

Second, utilizing time.. dude needs to shut up. His complaint is they didn’t make the game I wanted them to make. Who cares.

the game was fun and the story was interesting. The ending was meh, to bad but still definitely worth playing to completion.
