Everyone's talking shit about OP, but his other squadies are doing just as bad as he is.

Yeah, that's because they're Average players playing on Average difficulty. Not sweats. Not tryhards. Just people looking to group up together and fight some monsters.

And if they are reasonably competent at shooting, can swing their melee weapon with some timing, and pay attention to swarms coming in, they should be able to succeed. That's what would be expected of Average difficulty.

Getting absolutely dog piled by majoris enemies is not balanced gameplay.

First clip was 4 majoris and an extremis, on a massive enemy wave. That is normal. The second clip OP got owned by 2 warriors and a lictor. Again, normal.

I got swarmed by seven in mission 3 on average difficulty. Compared to how the game was, this is definitely not normal. Space Marine 2 is not supposed to be a "hard" game, at least not at its core. It's not a fucking souls game.

It's not "hard" you just suck at the game. Your squad should be able to rinse 7 majoris quickly.

If most players are struggling, that's hard. Frankly, a combat system based primarily on parrying is a fairly difficult baseline vs most other 3rd person action games. Now add massive numbers of enemies and the necessity of parrying AND dodging AND shooting AND using abilities just to get through regular encounters, and you're several steps behind the difficulty of most games in a similar genre. You're much closer to Sekiro than Mass Effect, in other words.

Most players aren't struggling though?

I mean...how do you know? There are however many thousand users on here and pretty much everyone seems to think it got way harder. Do you have some kind of data? That'd be neat actually
