Glad this is finally happening. Playing on and off since Switch release and I really want to play the game in higher quality. Finally can try it on PC or PS4 without losing progress
I just finished the first really hard boss (Balteus) and I’m having a ball. Can recommend. But play it on PC with KB+M. I know it’s a fromsoft game, but the KB+M controls are 10X as good as gamepad controls.
I feel like I would have beat Balteus by now if I had the game on PC instead of PS5. Even with the auto lock aiming, this asshole moves around faster than I can turn the camera with a stick, even with the camera speed at 10.
Edit: Wait… Does the PS5 version support M&KB…? 🤔 I’ll have to try later when I have the chance.
I beat him with a hardcore mobility and missiles build, but I’ve heard he’s much more doable if you switch to a superheavy build of all plasma weapons (the “Meefcake” is its name in the meta). One thing I noticed is his movement habits make him pretty vulnerable to missiles, which catch up to him when he holds still.
With mouse and keyboard where you can track him well he’s very fun to fight in close range since he likes to hold still for his missile volleys (you can pour in the damage while dodging), except that his ability to punish you with the bazooka means every screw-up is lethal when you’re in close. And that’s 10X worse when he gets his flaming sword.
I feel limited in my options because I’ve gotten everything I possibly can to mix up my mech at this point through the missions and the logcabin stuff, and while I do want to be a plasma goblin, I can’t even use 2 plasma guns without overloading my energy, let alone adding in the shoulder cannons. :/
I only have access to two generators. And one of those is the one I started with.
Something I’m struggling with: I don’t like it, but I want to.
I’ve only played like 2 hours, and I only bought it bc from software, but it looks soooo cool. I suck at most fromsoft games in the beginning, but the repetition and watching yourself get better as you master the mechanics was what got me.
But I don’t know with this one. I’m not complaining, everyone has their cup of tea. Just can’t decide if I’m going to give up on it or keep trying. I’m very very happy that it’s successful tho!
I despise the souls and souls-like. I just really want a merch game I can get into and I never do get into them. Not since like front mission 3 or xenogears or something.
I’ve found the build of my AC has a lot to do with how successful I am. I’m rocking two shotguns and lasers on each shoulder and right now I’m murdering most things.
If I was able to beat Steel Battalion, I sure as shit can handle this. Even if the boss at the end of chapter 1 is a huge douche nozzle with his god damn wall of missiles and speedy movement for his ridiculous size and god damn shield that sometimes doesn’t even take damage when I chip away at it, or my guns won’t fire despite not being reloaded or overheated…
As an AC veteran greatly enjoying the new game after many years waiting, I feel vindicated.
And don’t worry about sucking at this game! Even I had to spend 6 hours fighting Balteus to finally defeat it. Stick with the game, try different builds until something works for you.
Wow. It dropped at a rough time, too. BG3 is still going nuts and Starfield is coming soon. It's the kind of thing I'd love to check out but those two (and probably Madden because it's football season) are just going to eat the absolute hell out of my time.
