I mean yeah, that's true, but I fail to see anything wrong with the game in any technical aspect that would drag it down.
Also, I'm calling the fench out

There isn't really nothing wrong with. I saw one review saying is too complicated the controls and stuff. Honestly they're all irrelevant. This game is good

Seems it's less demanding than Elden ring and uses less RAM. For reference a 3050 can play it at 4k 35/40 Fps at medium/high settings. I can even see a 750ti or a steam deck having decent performance.

I don't like the level design, feel too much verticality. Also the lock on system is made for Parkinson patients or something.

Also S easier than I thought, first try all 6 missions and already got S on all of them.

Ok the first helicopter boss is incredibly trash and annoying. It's like they want you to stop playing right at the beginning 😡

I had to kill it with multiple assault melee attacks (L3 + L2). It's the only way because my guns barely made any damage and they were constantly reloading. Even the cooldown after melee is too long.

Regular enemies and mission after that are okay but I'm scared for the next boss.

It's very weak to melee. I die for 3 hours till I tried melee. Took me 15 min

From is probably the only developer that can get away with having shit tier graphics, shit tier reused animations, and non existent story and their cult eats it up because there games are Twitch fodder.

and No reviewer will hold them to the same standard as other companies because they don't want to upset their cult.

Is it the Juggernaut? I'm done for today or maybe ever. I'm so pissed. I'm not even sure where I'm supposed to hit him, obviously not from the front but I can't get behind fast enough 🤬

The graphics are fine for a mech game. They did reuse a lot of animations in the Souls game but I'm not sure here. Is it the same Pyre engine from Sony on PS3 🤔

I agree that FROM are at that level now, their games will never get attacked again. Rockstar level.

Is it the Juggernaut

Season 9 No GIF by The Office


Juggernaut is technically a mini-boss. He’s easy once you figure out his weakpoint. Its the top back of his head. Fly over him and shoot him in his weak point and he’ll stagger fairly quickly. Its easy because he’ll continually try and charge you which gives you a good opportunity

The key to this game like other Fromsoft games is not to psyche yourself out about difficulty. This game makes trying different builds relatively painless. Almost everything you sell you get the exact amount you paid for it back so you can try whatever.

The graphics are fine, they aren’t the best out but the performance makes up for it. I’m getting a solid 60 almost, and its like 4k. Even the ugliest games look great on a big oled tv with good framerate and resolution.

These gameplay first games are going to be considered the best games of this generation moving forward. I feel like sony might have to switch it up a bit with overly cinematic reliance they have.

crazy how short this game is but it's full priced. games used to be raked over the coals for things like that. anyway i'm playing it now and it's okay, nothing amazing and nothing terrible. the best mech/flying robot combat to me is still Anthem.

I noticed that.

Seems like a B side project with PS3 graphics with a small team to gone gold asap.
I hoped for a bit more care from From Software with the revive of the franchise.
