It's just a very boring way to design an enemy in a game where most enemies give you a fair amount of freedom in how to approach them.
You counter their attack, quick swap between a bunch of weapons, either you instantly murder him or repeat. If you try to do LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE he will be like "lol blocked".
Any time he appears in a group you have to stop what you're doing and deal with him separately. After the first couple times you fight him it's not hard at all, just vaguely annoying.

>>712772834
>between a bunch of weapons
Lol skill issue. It's 2.

>>712772978
That's all you can say? You don't have a response to anything else?

>>712773265
No, you clearly don't know what you're talking about omegalul

>>712772834
Every enemy has gives the player a lot of freedom to determine their approach, but pretty much all of them have an optimal strategy that most players will adopt towards them.
The marauder just forces the player to only use the "optimal" fastest way to kill them every time. Having an enemy that requires you to focus it when present in the arena isn't bad design imo. I could have maybe been done better, but Its pretty good as is.

Holy fucking yappers you got filtered

thats a lot of words to say you have skill issue

90% of /v/ got stuck on the first dungeon.

just annoying if you run out of supershotgun or ballista ammo

>flash green
>blast his face with SSG/ballista
>or just shoot a rocket behind his feet
wow so hard

tank controls + fixed camera angles

>>712773786
If I recall, you used to be able to cheese him with grenades, but an update made him block those so you have to do the super-shotty/gauss cannon hotswap combo. Which isn't hard to do, but still, that's one less option on the table.

>>712774517
Sell me on the game.

>>712773786
Optimal is not the same as mandatory. In a game with so many moving parts there are going to be situations where you're not playing perfectly optimally or have to adapt to some situation. There's dynamism there. That's not the case with enemies that have only a single strategy - you have to break your flow and focus on executing that one strategy. It's a very shallow way to design a game.
Sure having high-priority enemies is good but there's a thousand different ways to handle that. Some of which are already in Eternal.

>>712778667
Yeah the devs clearly wanted you to only deal with him one specific way and it's terrible design for a game like Eternal.

(p.s. other dude I'm not replying to your samefagging)

>>712778739
it's gay shit that nigtoddlers say is super cool like a character action game almost
but really it's kinda like pikmin and that's why they like it

>>712776172
Really? I played the first one, and it was basically Souls with guns. Did the second one do something weird that threw people for a loop?

>>712772687 (OP)
played on ultra nigthmare and he really didnt gave me too many issues, i died a few times to him until i got the pacing and his moveset right.
cant believe anyone would rage at this, /v/ really fucking sucks at videogames lol

>That master level where you fight two (2) of them in a pit of toxic waste
If this is "fun" I'd rather die desu

>>712772687 (OP)
...Wait a minute, that card...

>>712772834
The Marauder requiring your attention and a different approach is exactly why it's good.

>>712779395
Even if you're not doing the combo, it's simply a matter of maintaining mid distance and shooting when his eyes flash. He'll slow you down, but he's not that bad. If you are doing the combo, though, he dies quick as anyone else on the field.

>>712779456
rain world is the best game i've ever hated

People struggle with forward>down>down forward inputs?

>>712779361
I'd say that games journalists' opinions are for the fucking birds, but that would be an insult to our feathered friends.

>>712779585
i didnt even knew about the combo, i mostly used the assault rifle and super shotgun, but i would just anything that i had at hand because i was playing on console

>>712779747
this can't be real, even my grandmother could figure this out

>>712772687 (OP)
He's designed to annoy you, you can't use any other strats from the game to beat him, you do the dance and make him go away and somewhere the dev nuts in his pants because he won the power struggle.

>>712772687 (OP)
>it was real in my mind

I choose to ignore the dlc cause it honestly ruined the game for me story wise

>>712779874
anon these reviewers have to play the first 15 minutes of a game atleast twice a day, that barely gives them enough time to network at starbucks and post their dogshit opinion online, he was just stressed

>>712779874
Sorry to say that it is. Supposedly the outlet he worked for posted the video as a joke, but still, it's pretty baffling that someone that bad at games is treated as an actual professional.

>>712780053
>>712780207
It really makes me wonder how someone gets into video game "journalism" and yet they are completely dogshit at doing even the most basic things in a video game. I don't think most journalists are actually real people.

>>712779267
My brother and I used to do this easily as kids
the instruction book tells you how to do every move :)

>>712772687 (OP)
Filter for the people bitching about him because of difficulty. Not for the people like me whining about how boring the design was. After you understand super shotty into gauss it just feels like a nuisance that isn't fun to focus on. They should have created more interesting ways to duel him.

>>712780458
Apparently the same guy wrote a scathing review about the original Mass Effect because he didn't realize you're actually supposed to assign points to different skills and abilities when you level up.

>>712772834
You are a shitter and deserve to Eternally(lol) seethe.

>>712779059
These guys are easy AF. I don't get it.

>>712779373
Pre nerf yes, I agree.

>>712772687 (OP)
Honestly, fighting him is fun. What isn't fun is when i try to get breathing room, i get stopped cold mid-dash by this pile of toothpicks. Fuckers should at least be launched tail-over-teakettle when the 800 lb gorilla that is doomguy rams into them.

>>712772687 (OP)
A filter at first, but not hard to get used to. After that just annoying.

>>712782091

>>712772834
>If you try to do LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE he will be like "lol blocked"
I was surprised he blocked not only a direct hit from the bfg but the tendrils as well, was funny seeing it just phaze through him & kill everything else instantly.

>>712779149
I mean this is just bullshit, the game tells you to use torches and you can still miss. Or Burning Hands can just roll poorly. Shit even if you buy the acid flasks or whatever to throw, genuinely will die to the swarm before you kill them.

>>712785543
not only that you cant crucible in half after stun him without breaking his immunity by glory kill exploits what a gay cucked designed enemy im glad these faggots die of HIV after dork ages

>>712779282
what you have enough gear to bypass his retarded shield like freeze grenade if it works you cant even crucible him after parry stun

>>712785837
After that happened with the bfg I didn't want to potentially piss away a swing with that & have it be wasted but I always wondered.
They spend a whole level hyping that thing up as the ultimate weapon & you can't even use it on him but he will poke him in face with the arm blade to glory kill him, thats so fucking dumb. Glad I didn't try.

more recently

>>712786343
Exactly, anon. It’s like they went out of their way to neuter every fun weapon just so you’re forced to play their little “parry puppet show” with him. Whole arsenal full of demon-shredding toys and they turn him into an awkward dance partner instead. What’s even the point of building up the Crucible or BFG if they just tickle the miniboss and bounce off? Let me rip and tear, not politely spar with an RNG shield goblin.

>>712779149
Those swarms are bullshit not how they work at all on the tabletop. The ones at the House at the End of Fun are way worse though. Truly awful design

>>712772687 (OP)
Time Limits

>>712772834
You can do chip damage with the sticky bombs if ya fire them next to his feet or microwave his dog to get a quick shot at him.

>>712772687 (OP)
I never understood how people had difficulty so much difficulty with him. He was so rare so you always had a BFG shot avaliable to nuke him.
>he deflects it
You just have to shoot a little to the side and hit his back with the AOE retard.

>>712786467
Skill issue

>>712789989
It's not difficulty, it's flow.

>>712789989
He just breaks up the flow.
Which, imo, is his entire purpose, and if you treat it like that, he does his job. A very high priority target that must be addressed on its terms.

Although I did 100% get filtered by the slayer gate that has one spawn the the buff ghost thing already in him to the point I quit and never finished the DLCs. It wasn't bullshit, I just realized I had met the point where I was not good enough at an encounter to beat it and repeated trying was not teaching me to be better.

>>712790271
>He just breaks up the flow.
>Which, imo, is his entire purpose, and if you treat it like that, he does his job.
I'd take him being spammed every level over the platforming to break up the flow desu.

>>712790372
I think they overdid it, but the whole purpose of the platforming is to give you a break between encounters so you don't get exhausted just shooting all the time. Especially because the encounters at higher difficulties are pretty exhausting if you're at my skill level.
I didn't find any of the parkour sections particularly difficult either. One or two are annoying, especially if they involve wall climbing. It was mostly the constantly checking the minimap for collectibles that drove me crazy. If the secrets are actually secrets I'll search for them but not get very sidetracked. But put them on the map and I will spend hours figuring out how to get every one, on every run.

>>712790580
I understand the purpose I simply don't like it, they could've made shorter levels like 2016 instead of forcing something thats not fun into the game to pad the length. That was further exacerbated by the nonstop glitches in my playthrough, cutscenes not triggering is bad enough but having to do boring platforming over & over really made me hate it. The game randomly deciding doomguy is a retard who can't grab ledges causing him to do the ledge grab animation & just fall anyway & start the whole fucking thing over again was just... *chef's kiss*
I don't think I've ever played a game that oscillated between amazing & rage inducing to this degree before.

>>712790580
>was mostly the constantly checking the minimap for collectibles that drove me crazy.
I forgot to mention, I just skipped this in 2016 & eternal, if I saw something organically I'd do it but outside that I never checked the map. I barely missed anything that mattered in 2016 & eternal it really didn't matter at all that I missed upgrades since ammo upgrades are basically pointless past the first one.
