    Small side note on the dog and the slime boss, if you double tap the ability it calls the dog to your side and they won't engage targets unless your attacked so you get to keep the heals close to you. That boss was still a pain though, but their overall design is pretty good on most of them.
    Great game and incredibly refreshing after the mess Diablo 4 is, makes you realize how a good a well thought out game can be without needing stuff like seasons

    For the last boss, i also found it overwhelming and hard to avoid his attacks at first, but the best advice is LISTEN, don't look. Every attack has a very clear audio cue, and if you dodge when you hear it, you can avoid 90+% of his bullcrap.

    I think Remnant, both 1 and 2, does an amazing job at conveying it's entire premise through gameplay. The game is about hopping around different worlds and the game is actually played like you are hopping through different worlds. Stories that you encounter through the game are grandiose, epic, about saving the world, helping the people or fighting the power, but in reality are fairly inconsequential, because they have no relation to you or your mission. You can learn about the world, you can read books or logs or ask questions to NPCs, but ultimately they are so far removed from you, you can only learn and related to them with outsider's fascination.
    Also, even tho i agree on that you can't use certain builds in all of the encounters, it's sorta kinda on you for relying solely on what you are good at. Don't get me wrong, my first character was a challenger tailored specifically for 1v1 unarmed combat. It had only 50-60% efficiency, since it was completely usless against flying bosses, including the final boss. And it was my fault for going "No, i will try hitting it with my fists, even if it kills me". Baseline - you got a gun and you got a dodge. Go get em.

    This game should not have released in this state, and should have just gone the early access route, there are waaaaaay too many bugs. As someone nearing 100 hrs, the amount of small and large issues could fill out a 5 page essay. By the nature of the game, I don't think anyone who has less than 20 hours or hasnt finished a playthrough has experienced most of what is wrong with the game. Its really disappointing because a lot of the issues aren't new, they were in Remnant 1.
    The peer2peer connections, the desync, the mouse decceleration, the lack of loadouts, icon UI(despite being a huge problem in 1, and more than doubling the rings and amulets in 2), vendors breaking, items missing, missing rewards for completing game on hardest difficulties, misaligned audio, audio from enemies is inconsistent, game files being replaced by hosts save, no region selection so you often match with people accross the world, as a byproduct of peer2peer connections you constantly disconnect and then they for some reason removed the ability to join games from the start menu so now you have to load into your character every time you DC, scrap economy, broken trait rewards, negative traits, AI pathing is abysmmal for enemies and summons, missing archetypes for pre order users, and this is just the more technical side. Remnant 2 is a step up in almost every way and would've benefited from an actual early access release. I think people are in the honeymoon phase and due to the sheer size of the game and pathways, most bugs and issues will not have any effect on their experience which I hope doesn't get in the way of any patching.

  • @yoredrag-onight4204
    @yoredrag-onight4204 10 месяцев назад

    One of the greatest things I always loved significantly about Remnant besides its great use of Procedurals was the sound design.
    I do not have the second Remnant yet but i do know i have played around 200 plus hrs of the first one and I am still going because I still have things i am looking for.
    The sound design is so good that you could literally tell every single type of enemy apart from each other because of how distinct the monsters idle noises were and enemy attacks were so clear and telling you could turn around and still literally tell EXACTLY when the enemy is about to attack and dodge or slide out of the way on instinct alone and that is insane.
    Monster designs win game of the year for me too because it's not often you get demon trees like the Root or the other monsters.
    Something else i love is how there is so much reason to go again. The different puzzles and quests, how some puzzles could need a item that had not even spawned with that puzzle, bosses having multiple styles of clears ( Iskal Queen fuck you btw but damn if that fight is not hard as balls ) and etc.
    So much Remnant does right in a way that makes it just perfect to drag someone into the game with you. Even if you go it alone you are in for a game that is worth its very considerate 40 dollar price tag. (for the first not the second that is 50)
    The devs give you all this gold all for a price that is very cheap compared to the triple As demanding 60 to 70 and that is insane.

    Beat the game fully with 2 dif characters and multiple friends on PC. LOVE THIS GAME. I have 73 hours of game play myself and Hope the expansion adds actual new content like a new world or something other then just classes and weapons. Also I have an I5 11400F with 32 gigs ddr5 and an RTX 2080TI and was luck to only ever have one minor glitch with the game crashing one time on me during multiplayer. Never ran into any audio or any other problems. They do still need to optimize it for lower end systems for sure because to play at 1440p with a consistent frame time I needed to use DLSS quality but then again they did say before it came out they built it for DLSS so it is what it is with that(they have done some decent optimization since release that I did notice for sure).

I could watch it not proc a few shots then in a single shot proc on every target and jump me back to full.

    The gunplay and handling on this game is amazingly well done. The exploration is really rewarding. The re-playability is high. The co-op is a lot of fun. Now it works on ps5 me and my son have hammered it in co-op and it’s very very fun. Also when we’ve played solo we’ve had completely different experiences due to the RNG nature of the world building. Performance on consoles is average I’d say it’s fine solo but hit detection and a few latancy issues are evident in co-op and that’s from two people in the same house playing on full fibre wired connections. But overall it’s solid and the fact the ultimate edition with the dlcs is £55 it’s well worth the price I’d say. 8/10 my favourite multiplayer game that’s come out this year. My negative comment is the ps5 version has NO adaptive triggers I mean come ON! Have you seen some of these guns! I want adaptive triggers

But for ppl that don't know the game, We have world A B and C that have 2 starts and ending, then we/game roll a D20 6 times to se the tile you ger and then roll a D20 4 times to see what even is there or not, and then roll the D20 agen to see where/tile the event is.
    So lets sat Erik found an Event that have good loot on C lets say C 12 - 3 and tell his friend off it, So Jake now whant the items so he goes to C but the event is not there in the mode calling Adventure mode, 20 reroll later he found the item on lets say C 18 - 8.

    That was a beautiful review very helpful. I passed this up because of the “procedural generation dark souls with guns” which on first look sounded like “B tier money grab”. If they actually succeeded in making a good game like that, and I trust your judgment, that sounds amazing.
    I know you are a father and the one thing I wish you would add to your reviews is, “Can I play this in front of my kids.” For example I can play Elden Ring for the most part with my kids watching. It’s not a game for them to play, but if I turn off blood splatter there’s nothing too nightmarish. There’s no way I would play Bloodborne with my kids watching, however. I don’t think ratings systems are good at this because “blood” doesn’t necessarily make a game unacceptable for kids. Kids (mine anyways) are often okay with blood, it’s jump scares that are a problem, or story-wise if someone good has something really bad and unjust happen to them that can’t be fixed later.

    I seem to be missing something with this. I don't think it's a bad game, but I got very bored after around 15 hours. Felt like the itemization was poor, like barely anything I was finding was worth it. There's not that many weapons to find, I probably found like 2 weapons in the world after 15 hours. I think I found like 2 traits in that time. Relic mods that offer 3% increases (so what). Some rings alter playstyles up a little but not much, most are worthless % increase stuff. Combat got stale fairly quickly on Veteran. If you keep up with the upgrades, you can just blast your way through the core game. But I've seem higher difficulty modes and it just feels like an exercise in damage sponging, which doesn't seem that interesting.
    A lot of the stuff with vast dual archetype builds does seem interesting after watching Phemeto's videos, but I dunno. It feels like it takes a long time to get there, and that it's more like a post-game thing that you keep wanting to play on with. Which isn't all that enticing when you've already seen enough after the end of the base game.

    On PC 03:21, there is tech issues because is one on the first game running on UE5. So, yes, there is an insane "Depth of field" with very nice VFX effect and no pop up textures but the game can't stand 60 FPS on native 4K with my RTX 4080. Annyway, this game deserve his succes (1 Milions sellers already ) for the insane fun and addicting loop is giving us 🙂🎮

    My biggest problem with the game was the puzzles and how far out of the way any weapons and armor was. Either too hidden behind a gimmick or a convoluted questline that spans multiple worlds. 12 ish hour playthrough literally used the starting gear the entire time. There is a thing as too hidden imo Ik the game is centered around multiple playthroughs but Im not interested in that too many games out right now Id rather have a good onetime experience then come back for dlc and this didn't give me that. Had more fun in the 1st one tbh felt longer. Oh and the severe lack of upgrade materials and Money which re enforces the multiple playthrough thing/ rerolling. Hate when games force you to use a mechanic.

    Great explanation brother. My only minor complaint would be is I like my soulslike games to not have difficulty settings, I prefer 1 settings that represents the devs ideas of what they wanted to create not that plus toned down versions. And basically every game has difficulty settings, I love that soulslike games don't do what every other game does. But like I said it's only a minor complaint this game is dope AF

    Some things i dont agree with especially the boss vs class problem. Sometimes you dont need the class itself and just shoot. as example challenger dont need to kill with melee on flying bosses he still got a weapon to use and that is 110% do-able. Ive been playing mostly gunslinger through my 150 hours and it is easy to say for me but i have had no problems what so ever. Also the procedural generation is misunderstood it is more like a procedural "selection" If i startet now and you startet now we would have a very big chance of seeing the same things not all of them but a whole lot of it. There is 2 stories for each world (3 worlds) which is 6 outcomes in total, and then there is some smaller "dungeons" that is selected aswell. But people calling it "generated" is kinda not true it is not like minecraft or valheim and so on. The worlds are already created and randomly picked by the game when you play through.

    After the honeymoon I can say I enjoyed R1 way more. R2 is a good game no doubt but I don't really like the maps, too convoluted, too many lifts and locked doors to the point it just doesn't feel organic anymore. Plus the feeling of attrition praying you make it to the next save point is somehow gone, I dont really care about dying anymore bc all I lose is 3 minutes of time. The latter probably comes back in Hardcore but with the many issues there are I don't think I'll try that, won't lose my character after 200 hrs because a jump/ledge grab didn't register.

    People compare it to the Souls Games but outside of the Meditation Checkpoints and Challenge/Difficulty, but that’s where the comparisons end. Remnant is like Third Person Diablo with Guns. It’s a more accurate comparison.

      @aaronhumphrey3514 10 месяцев назад

      It's a mish mash of various ideas, but I do think the bonfire-esque checkpoints, the punishing difficulty, and the focus on boss fights qualifies it as a soulslike with guns. That said, it's definitely on the fringes of the genre.
      I definitely don't think it's Diablo with guns. That would be a looter shooter, and while this has looter shooter elements loot drops are not a focus of this is game in the same way as something like Borderlands.

  • @Blurgleflargle
    @Blurgleflargle 10 месяцев назад

    Personally I'm not a big fan of the popular "Dark Souls with guns" narrative. I'm more inclined to compare it to the run-and-gun era Resident Evil games - yes, the "unpopular" ones - first, and a soulslike second. That might be a much harder sell without further explanations, but it's also more honest imo.

The combat is the best ive ever touched in any game.

    I absolutely tried to enjoy any time i had with remnant 2. 50 hours. the armor boils down to wear leto's armor or get 1 or 2 shot anytime, anywhere, any mob. Health trait, Damage reduction, Elemental Reduction means nothing. Just invest points into stam and stam regen so you can dodge the 1 shots which are everywhere. Played with friends who jerk off to this game and found myself not being able to use my aoe abilities cuz friendly fire is horrendous. Before you say use the dog! How bout just get rid of the absolutely stupid friendly fire damage. Most guns are pointless as are melee weapons. Scrap in this game is something you will be starved for even after 50 hours of play time if you dont want to exploit spam. The list goes on, but there is d4 scaling as well based on your current gear level so you never feel powerful. I genuinely hate this game.
