Gameplay = solid, computer AI seems tough but not
impossible. They don’t just sit there
and let you blow them up. They hide,
they dodge, and they fire. Firing
weapons was a challenge for me using xbox 360 controls, so will take me a bit
before I don’t feel like a total novice.
So far had 3 different gun types and all were pretty fun. The shotgun (which I really really really
want to like) is the hardest to actually use.
You have to be pretty close range and then when you shoot it the recoil
knocks your camera up so high you can’t follow up and do anything lol. It could just be the crappy low level shotty I
have though as well. I got some other
charge electric shot gun which is interesting but I haven’t played with much
yet and a few sub machine gun types which end up being what is used when I run
out of ammo on the others.
For other attacks you get grenades (which are cool). My titan has one that disorients so I can run
in and destroy stuff for a few seconds without it firing. One thing that stood out pretty odd in my
eyes was melee attacks though. You damn
near one shot anything you hit in melee.
That’s probably ok if you are a warlock with force push, or maybe even a
hunter with a knife, but as a titan you are strait punching stuff. It feels odd to blast away with a gun at a
creature taking 3+ shots to kill it when swinging my right hand knocks the
thing dead in one shot lol. I think some
sort of explanation to this would have been cool (like your suit is so powerful
to create a strong punch). Actually a
few things in the game seem to leave you to your own imagination on how it
works, this also is ok since its not important as gameplay but it was a
interesting decision.
One of those things is race choice. You start out the game and class choice is
easy enough (they give you plenty of description of the three). So you get a decent idea what you are picking
there. But Race choice has no bearing on
the game (only looks) which is totally fine, but there is no description what
any of those things really are. You can
be human, alienish, or robot. But why? Maybe they reveal this stuff later but its
kind of odd choosing a race and not knowing why you chose it. Did these alien race guys fight along side
humans? Did these robot things
help? Why these three races banded
together to begin with?
Story line has been ok so far. Lots of questions but I think that’s by
design. I’ve followed it ok though and
enjoyed the missions. Had to fight a few
mini boss type guys and the fights were challenging. Died on one of them which actually was a good
thing since I wouldn’t want the game to be too easy. There were also other real people playing in
the area’s im in but the game really gives me no indication why or how. My boss fights were instanced I think, but
the surface areas had others. Oddly some
were quite different level than me (12s and even 20s) so I’m not sure why they
were running around in the same zone as me.
I can only guess it spawned some mobs their level I couldn’t see but
that too would be odd since I wouldn’t be able to kill those mobs. I only saw enemies around my level.
Looking forward to more group play and seeing
how that goes. One guy seemed like he
was inviting me to join him but I couldn’t quickly figure out how to
accept. By the time I found the menu and
invited him to my fireteam or whatever it is he was off somewhere else and I
think didn’t accept. Was cool running
through a few quick parts with another player though, felt like I had a little
cover at least lol. Pvp should be fun,
can’t wait to try that soon.
