Remnant 2

Wow, 5 whole points... pathetic. At least you get something for picking up a trait book, and most of the other economy changes are a pretty good start. Lack of anything that increases archetype xp, while also having some undocumented changes that shut down the methods people were using before (according to reddit, anyway) is rather disappointing.

Fuck that Nightfall nerf though. That's enough to get me to put my Series X offline to avoid the patch, finish up the last couple things I wanted to do, and then send the game back so GameFly will ship me Atlas Fallen next week.

Not surprising that they nerfed what are probably the two best weapons. Nightfall and Enigma is the loadout I've got equipped right now as it happens... It's a good opportunity to look at some other sidearm options in particular, the OPness of Enigma meant I haven't bothered trying others recently.

I basically used enigma the whole game except for elites and bosses. Just made any swarm fight completely trivial

With the amount of boss fights with multiple adds (aka pretty much all of them?), enigma will still be necessary. This will just make them more difficult. Is there another aoe weapon that could substitute?

I have been using the Cube sidearm ever since I got it and never even really considered anything else. I am a sucker for infinite ammo plus the energon-cube shield has amazing offense and defense utility.

Gun wise I've been using the 150 round magazine into Medic gun the whole game. Never really felt a compelling reason to switch.

How do you handle swarms? Can the cube gun keep up?

Beat this yesterday and I'm sitting here laughing at how upset Vorph seems to be over this title. Play through the campaign 2-3 times with whatever classes you want and that should be good enough. Not every game needs infinite replayability. You don't need 100 trait points or whatever. Don't take it so seriously.

Steam says I put in 30 hours. I think I cleared out everything in my first campaign roll on Veteran. Rerolled on Nightmare and cleared my first region, still fun.

Game was great. 8.5/10. Story had potential on paper but ultimately the narrative is ignored too much and the ending fell completely flat. Still fun and more worthwhile than Outriders ever was.

Not upset, just ultimately disappointed. What could easily have been a 9/10 game was dragged down to about a 7 by some poor design decisions, a whole slew of extremely lackluster/not fun to use weapons/weapon mods, and a story that does indeed fall flat at the end. I wrapped up my playthrough and had everything ready to unlock Archon, but since BG3 is out and Atlas Fallen is coming very soon I just can't be bothered to level Explorer to 10 for the final hurdle.

Had never heard of Atlas Fallen, looked it up. Looks like God of War meets some kind of open worldy system? Looks interesting.

Just go in expecting copious amounts of Eurojank if you try it. It's by the same company that made Lords of the Fallen (2014), and the two Surge games. Each one of their games since LotF has been a vast improvement over the previous, so I'm cautiously optimistic about Atlas Fallen. Plus previews of it by ACG and others have been pretty positive, comparing it to games like Darksiders and Nier.

I don't know for sure why, but I really loved Surge 2. Chopping pieces of enemies off to gain their weapons and armor was great, and I dug the boss fights as well. Pretty good level design. I haven't played any of their other games but am looking forward to trying Atlas Fallen as well as Lords of the Fallen if they're at all similar.

Enjoyed LOTF and both Surge's. Feel like they got shit on for not being From quality, but nothing is

I’m waiting for Atlas reviews before I get it. Was also a big Surge fan.

Unplugged ethernet and turned off wifi on the ol ps5 before they could patch it, just began my first apocalypse run using a tank/regen build. Certain elites can still 2 shot me which is nuts. This is build I'm using:
Will see how far it gets me

I’ll watch that, thanks.

Playing this with the homies cause it's perfect boomer nonsense.

The first boss in the robot world is perhaps the worst boss I've ever fought in a video game. This is not boding well.
