Tried the game again last night. Me trying to aim…

Played more last night with a buddy, had a great time with it again. Just kind of not my style of single player :/


Also, said buddy played with three other of our friends after I went to bed. They said the game crashed for each of them and then they had to keep restarting because you can't just jump in live. That's some bulls***

Finished the game this morning. Overall, fun game despite some bugs. Probably a first time I liked the game with the number of crashes, blocked side quests, glitchy side quests where I had to restart.

The final fight was a doozy.

Hopefully, they continue patching the game. There's alot love put into this and looks and plays great.

Did you run into any weird difficulty spikes? I’ve was good for awhile, but now when traveling to an objective I’ll run into a group of enemies, destroy them, literally one minute later encounter another group of enemies and they destroy me. Makes no sense

The Edge, CorpZ and some others have high level mobs. I only got in trouble if I saw loot on my map and I wanted to explore. I had to take the approach differently because it was difficult, but you can get good drops off them too. Usually, if I stuck to a mission below my level, I was fine.

The last fight was hard because of the number of mobs on me, plus bounties would be in the mix, so that didn't help.

It’s starting to grow on me the more I play it. Got a heavy LMG and then using the Focus fire cyber mod. It’s so awesome. Mix it in then with the bulllet time dodge cyber mod. So much fun

How long of a game is it?

Spiderbots was my saving grace. And leveled up my weapons.

I've been waiting for the game to be fixed on PC and apparently the Game Pass PC version just doesn't work properly, compared to the Steam version of the game. Interesting.
 
So far I’ve had one issue which got rid of all the enemies causing them not to spawn. Great for a quiet stroll, not so great for leveling. I had to shut down and restart the game to get rid of it. I haven’t done co-op yet. Does this game have matchmaking?
 
The Overwhelmer is outstanding. Nothing like blow dudes up into a shower of blood and guts. Combined with spiderbots and it’s great mayhem.

Volatile is pretty fun, and I love the mini rockets. Also like Heat. Good stuff so far...

Just beat the spider mech. That was a great fight. I used a grenade launcher with the rapid fire aug and the holo solider aug. It worked so well.

Great gun. Use that with the spiderbots and volatile augs and it's blood and guts galore.

I’m running Overwhelmer, spiderbots, life steal, and pocket mech. I have max tactical recharge, max critical, and max health. It’s great mayhem, and if my health gets low, I pop life steal and hop in the mech. Literally fills my health and my tactical at the same time. By the time my mech is done, I have another one ready if I need it.

That would be great on the final mission

Where do you get the pocket mech?

Damn this game can be hard sometimes. It's so easy to stray into a higher level of baddie and get overwhelmed. Still fun

Yeah, you get used to mowing people over. Then you turn a corner and get some payback. Not so tough now. :)

Had a bug the other day where my characters gender changed for no reason so I had to go have a surgery to change it back, it was funny because I was playing and thought he looked awfully skinny for some reason and then when I went to chack on a piece of armor I saw he had been changed to a female.

Still haven't finished the game. I am kind of taking my time with it. I love it.

I hope this studio expands. I'd like to see them work on a first person/3rd person RPG in the same universe in the future.
 
Finished this afternoon. Overall a fun game, although I’m kind of annoyed that several achievements are bugged.

Got so many glitches and bugs playing last night I just might wait for the patch this week(hopefully) on Series X...the big Green Mech that I cant beat so far on normal took me 2 tries before he even appeared after the cutscene,he just wasnt there lol,some dead end quest,bringing a bag back for a quest does not track and I must of walked around 20 minutes outside a town with no ennemies anywhere lol...
 
The uneven difficulty was a bit much for me, I’ll try it again in a few months
