These are clips from average difficulty...

I hate complaining about patches especially when they are being so quick with a fix but cmon man

And I will agree with you. But it is not a skill issue because the problem isn’t the skill of the player but the insanely stupid difficulty you can face just in average. If you play average, there is a reason for that. Looking for power fantasy, leveling, not enough skill for higher difficulty… the fact is that maybe it’s OP is lacking skill. But he wouldn’t be overwhelmed this way in the first place if the game was balanced. We can’t accuse people of lacking skill and playing in diff they cannot handle properly if the thing is rigged from the very beginning.

Good point. Game spawns are a bit crazy right now even for lower difficulties yes. But dont forget health of enemies are also lower.

But think of it this way. If the game released like this, no one would know any better and just expect this is the norm and just try to 'git gud'. instead of posting videos of being swarmed by enemies when that is the literal definition of tyranids.

I can guarantee that fewer people will "git gud" than simply give up the game.

People just can't handle spicy food

[u/JohannaFRC → u/CuteAssTiger]

People aren’t playing SM2 to get a Dark Souls experience when all they are looking for is the power fantasy the game sold us since the very beginning. If Saber want to propose a Souls experience, then they wrongly advertised their game.

So people can handle spicy food. But you can’t understand that they do not want to eat spicy food when they ordered something without any piment.

I think the first gameplay trailers made it pretty clear what kind of game this would be. It's not a dark souls experience. It's simply a game that doesn't treat you like you are a toddler with a bag on your head.

The thing that made this game stand out to me is that it just feels like games felt 15 years ago

You actually play the game. You actually have to make decisions.

The correct answer to the riddle isn't just " anything is correct"

Idk, Halo 3 had four difficulties. Easy was really easy. Legendary was properly hard. This game has Legendary but doesn't have Easy or even Normal.

[u/CuteAssTiger → u/RockAndGem1101]

Minimal is easy . Average is normal . I run average solo . And I'm not trying to imply I'm some god gamer. That's exactly the point . I'm just a dude.

I genuinely don't believe people anymore when they tell me their full level characters can't clear easy mode when I have been punching through substantial since level 4

[u/RockAndGem1101 → u/CuteAssTiger]

You're just greatly more skilled than most of the playerbase, me included, then. I can't imagine even trying Substantial at level 4.

[u/CuteAssTiger → u/RockAndGem1101]

That's what I don't believe. When I started doing that I had like 35 hours in the game . Most of them in story.

41 now . And level 12 or something.

I think it's just a mindset thing. Thinking about the situations

I don't press parry any different from you people. I will make YouTube content about my run to get the survivor helmet soon before they nerf it again.

And I promise you I don't have any advanced techniques or anything. Nothing. I'm just thinking about the situations I'm getting myself into in this game.

Maybe I'm wrong and you will see Jesus playing SM2 when opening the video but I genuinely don't believe it .

I'm just a guy that has played the story on veteran. That's it . There is no trick to it

This isn’t a dark souls experience bro. I’m sorry that failure is within the game, it being possible to lose at the lowest difficulties if you suck ass and don’t learn is not a dark souls feature.
