One of the main problems with BL1 and 2 in multiplayer was that level disparity really sucked. If a mate had like a few levels more or less than you, that was it. So you needed to have a strictly MP character and a separate for single player, otherwise someone was having no fun.
Did they fix that for 3? Somehow, I doubt it.
Too much thinking for my liking. You need to juggle all the different weapons that are most effective on so and so otherwise you’re fucked.
Also a lot more storytelling, which was… fine? But, rereading my negative vote on Steam, was told using the worst possible UX/UI.
I recall feeling like they had this perfect game, but then somehow, someone decided to hand it over to Bethesda for a last pass because, no, it’s too simple.
Éternal doesn’t have the arcade mode though. That was such a blast. Also they complexified everything, which really broke my balls. Doom 2016 really was the peek.
That’s the kind of quality content that needs to be stickied for further reference or something!
There was one fight against a boss that was a huge pain in the ass because he tackles you just as you exit a door to the roof and if you don’t use the right maneuver, blam! you have to restart and listen to his monologue. Again and again and again. Dear gods, it was so bad it’s actually the only thing I remember from the game.
Which is a damn shame because it really was revolutionary, the architecture is fantastic, and the parkour is flawless. Even the “you don’t have to fight” thing was genuine! I literally did not fight a single guy…
until that damn roof, where I suddenly had to learn the parry maneuver the hard way. Shame.
You can’t call yourself X and then not go all dark, that makes perfect sense.
I’m just waiting for the Radio X-like slogans, for the full effect : “we’re the end of the alphabet people, that’s got to mean something, but we don’t know what”
“It even provides”, perhaps? I also stumbled on that one on first read.
