Thread 717225469

What does /v/ think of remnant 2? I know im a bit late to the party on this. I have to admit i was off put by the obnoxious diverse characters in the opening but once you actually get into the game and you can ditch them at the ward the gameplay is a lot of fun. Ive been playing solo so far. Started off in some shitty forest and killed a wolf monster. Got a pretty neat gun oit of it. I like how so much stuff in the game is randomized.

It would be better without level scaling

>>717225469 (OP)
I liked the first one more

Are the Remnant games in the same universe as the Darksiders games?

>>717225672
I jumped to the second because i heard there was better build variety.

>>717225594
I kniw what you mean. I havent gotten alk that far but already going back to areas where i first started is feeling way too eaay.

>>717225469 (OP)
I alt+f4'd after the intro where you are saved by your strong and indepoondant she-boon companion while she goes on some anti-white racist rant and refunded the game.

>>717227087
Yeah, that was pretty fuckin rough. I also noticed ita really hard to make a white character.

fun with friends, the DLC is decent as well and the guns are fairly balanced now after the patches. It doesn't feel that much like souls slop and the bosses generally have interesting move sets to town around

>>717225469 (OP)
First game was great but needed a bit more
It's pretty much a sequel that does exactly that, just adds more.

Biggest issue that its very poorly optimized and the performance sucks with it being built around using DLSS so it looks kind of ass and runs poorly.
Personally the builds can be a little annoying as you don't always want to mix classes for what you want to do and it disincentivizes pure builds but its still better than the first game where you kind of just maxed everything out.

>>717225469 (OP)
Well the first game was also all token pug-faced diversity hires, that can't be a surprise.

>>717228173
Everything felt pretty equally worthless in the first game apart from an auto weapon with fire buff and turret to actually deal damage.

>>717225469 (OP)
Enemy damage is retarded if you're not abusing DR stacking on higher difficulties, 100%'d all the collectables and shit yes no deathed on highest difficulty it was cancer

>>717225469 (OP)
Go to bed Greg

>>717225469 (OP)
Dropped it 5 minutes in to having to listen to the smug nigger patronize me while im saving her stupid fucking ass

>>717225594
Hard agree. As much as 2 is a huge improvement over the first in nearly every way, that Power Scaling really fucks you over. Especially if you're into using everything you come across like I am. A jack-of-all trades type character.
Remnant: From The Ashes is probably the most fun I've had in a vidya gaem in such a long time.

>>717227087
>anti-white racist rant
She literally just questions 'Santa', what're you talking about?
Are (You) really so delicate?

>>717225469 (OP)
I think its a really neat concept for a game, and I absolutely love that the devs aren't afraid to hide shit and make things convoluted and difficult to get. Even if they go a bit far with it sometimes. Requiring a very specific series of tiles to spawn in a full run of an area can be a bit much. Or the backrooms thing that no one figured out until datamining.
Still, its a really great game. Exactly what I'd expect out of AA.

>>717225469 (OP)
I got this confused with revenant 2. WTF is this?

>>717228605
I dont know who greg is.


>>717228657
She refers to the guy who founded the ward as "an old white guy"
I think thats what they meant.

>>717228662
>backrooms
granted, the whole purpose was to be datamined. the devs even admitted that because there was literally no way anybody would stumble on it
>>717228739
third-person shooter with souls-like bosses and enemies, linear level design, randomized dungeons but not procedurally generated. its pretty fun, i like it because combat can get real hectic

>>717229317
I really dont get the souls loke comparison theres nothing really soulsy about this game other than a stamina bar and some rolling.

>>717229270
Yeah, in reference to Santa Claus. If I had the game installed, I'd pluck out the exact dialogue.

>>717229492
That's pretty much all it takes. The Developers mentioned the Souls series being an influence, so I suppose it's fair?

>>717229492
Only thing setting it apart is 3rd person shooting
Checkpoints, trash mobs, bosses, melee, dodge roll, etc it's 1:1

>>717230403
All that stuff is in the majority of games these days.

level scaling + """diverse""" opening = trash

>>717225469 (OP)
The game has some absolutely gorgeous environments, I especially like the scifi area.

>>717225469 (OP)
It's very good. Just like the first game. Don't skip the DLC, it's important.

>>717234592

totally organic posts

>>717234724
Yes anon, every game thread is a shill thread no matter what. Dumbass.

First game had more bosses total, but the second game had more memorable bosses. They were smoking crack when they designed the CUBE. Also first game had more broken builds imo, second game everyone runs HU/GS and stacks DPS.

>>717234942
>spoiler
fuck you, hes great. one of the bosses in both games
unironically i think there was more variety in 1 than 2 despite the focus on variety and an abundance of stuff

>>717234592
This made me lol. I havent seen all of the game yet but most of it is "the sci fi area" from what i have. But yeah, its a good looking game.

Pretty fun tbqh, the highlight was definitely the bosses and there is a nice amount of them too, the major ones are mutually exclusive so rerunning a world instance at least twice is encouraged.

Contrary to what people might say, I find the final boss to be the best boss of the game, those who don't agree simply got filtered by it, that final boss will test all and every single mechanic in the game, if you didn't master them by that point you are in for a world of hurt.

How do you get more armor sets? Ive been playing for a couple hours amd im still using the atarter set. I mostly just find crafting/upgrade materials. The few guns i have found are prettt cool though.

>>717235547
Armors are just supper gimmicky to find, usually hidden after completing a puzzle or some shit.

You will end up looking like a fucking clown by the end of your run.

>>717235547
Whispers, the guy in the starter area, sells armour. hes under the bridge in the middle of town. otherwise you generally wont find a lot of armour in this game. not as many as before
>>717235752

I started with a hunter but was thinking of picking up challenger for my secondary class. That revive ability is neat. What does gunslinger do?

This game still has the trait point cap which is retarded. There's no reason to keep playing after unlocking everything, clearing hardcore, running through Apocalypse, etc. They also took an ultra-balanced approach to weapons and classes since the game released meaning everybody converges to the same build. It's completely idiotic that the devs claim to care that much about preserving their ideal model of game balance while defending level scaling in the same breath.

>>717235894
challengers my favourite archetype beside Archon
but gunslinger and Hunter combined gives the highest DPS with little investment compared to other builds. gunslinger by itself has a mediocre damage ability with shoots 6 shots from their revolver and then two juicy buffs that increases damage and fire rate and the other gives unlimited ammo for a duration

>>717225469 (OP)
Dork Souls with a gun and even worst armor designs and class identity than the first game.
Soulless Eurojank.

I love me some Remnant. The first game was a little rough around the edges but they really hit their stride with 2. I just got into 2 again earlier this week and have been playing the shit out of it. It's not the best game ever but I just like how it all comes together. Everyone draws a different story. Each stoey gives tou different stuff depending on how you follow it. You can reroll shorter adventures for another "see what happens" run and get thoes rewards or draw a story you haven't seen yet. The archetypes are a little weird but I dig it. The story is a little weird but I dig it. Level scaling and upgrading weapons on a linear path is a little boring but whatever I dont mind a little grind. The skill point system is weird too but it gives ya a little flexibility and trying different builds out. I wish respecing was a little cheaper but it's not the end of the world. I love the root as an enemy. I love the forest goats and their strange society. I think the labyrinth is the tits along with the weird creatures that manage it. The other realms aren't as cool but still spin weird stories. It works fine solo. If you have a friend that wants to pop in and adventure with you it still works. Love some of the weird, wild, and impractical weapons. Fukkin love me ssome Remnant. If the phrase "Dark Souls with guns" doesnt utterly repulse you, you'll probably have a good time.

Amazing improvement mechanically from the first, some performance issues, and some obnoxiously hard to guess puzzles and secrets that you can go entire playthroughs and never find some. The best known is the Archon class. Others include the Polygun, the Anguish side arm, and one of the DLC classes that has you wait 5 minutes of real time in a particular spot on the overworld map. Otherwise, fun game with an even better final boss.

>>717239858
More games should try to expand on what the "souls" formula is and what it can do. Dark Souls with guns (and randomization) turned out to be a good idea.

I loved the first game but couldn't get into the second. the sheboon in the beginning unironically soured me on the game from the opening minutes and I never recovered. I played some sessions with my friend anyway but we just couldn't get into it so we dropped it

>>717225469 (OP)
it's great
but that moving block level....
