[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;51222565]But I haven't been let down by anything in this game so far.
Everything is clicking for me so far. It's a pretty enjoyable game.[/QUOTE]
I think this is where paths begin to divert for this game. I personally enjoyed SW2013 but I am heavily disappointed with the direction they took with this game. All of the issues TB points out in his video are the exact complaints I have for this game. The game feels like such a sharp turn from what made the reboot so great and I just can't get into it.
As a result, SW2 is my biggest disappointment of the year but that doesn't stop it from being a great game. If you're really into games in this genre you're gonna have a fucking blast. For people who aren't we're just gonna be sitting in the sidelines.
The Shadow Warrior games are strange in that you can get really fed up with them if you play too much in one sitting. I experienced this a lot in the first game, hence I will now try not to overdo it.
Makes it last a whole lot longer too.
[QUOTE=redBadger;51222358]The procedural generated maps really fucking suck. I've seen the similar areas scattered across different maps. Really offputting.[/QUOTE]
Well it is just variety of maybe 5 some what big different tiles so there isn't that much you can expect.
Found an Infiniminer refrence:

Some energy weapons are broken and use normal ammo instead.
Noticed it on shotgun I currently use - it supposed to have 60 energy battery and use 6 each shot but loads normal shotgun shells.
I modded yumi yo do explosive toxic damage now it's a monster.

Yeah, for all the praise people heap on the first Shadow Warrior reboot, it started dragging really badly in the second half of the game. This one has been holding up better for me by playing it in smaller doses like you said.
It runs on my potato so that's a big plus right there. Game feels solid, I don't like the fact that when you reload a save the enemies change their resistances and stuff but overall it's good fun. There are some bugs that need to be taken care of but it's really solid and I highly recommend this game to anyone who wants to sit down for some meaty gameplay and cheesy humor.
I had a bug where I opened up a crate and it launched me across the map putting really far away from the objective and right in the middle of a horde of toros and this was right at the beginning of the game too so that fight dragged on

[QUOTE]Added 3 new ultra-difficult tiers for Insane difficulty with much better loot to find[/QUOTE]
What does this mean exactly?
[QUOTE=Combine 177;51240597]What does this mean exactly?[/QUOTE]
Torment I, Torment II, Torment III.
Also tnx to new patch almost all my weapons deal piss poor damage on Hard.
Joining Insane on lvl31 is literally a suicide now.
I'm not really liking these balance changes.
They double dipped on nerfing Arm of Orochi on a knee-jerk reaction to the casual crowd by both decreasing the base DPS significantly (It does only 33% damage per Force Slash instead of the 100%) as well as significantly increasing health on monsters in the new difficulty tiers AS WELL AS giving a majority of those same monsters physical resist/immune, meaning you do shit all with the sword now.
There's also the case where I'm level 69, yet I can only have a handful of skills to put points into, and by the time I reach the "max" level (96, because exp caps out at 999999 or whatever) I still won't have enough to max out all the skills.
Enemies are now more resistant than ever in difficulties above Hard, fulfilling the wrongful complaints that enemies were bullet-sponges by making them actually bullet-sponges now.

They also haven't fixed the bug where if you dash into a ledge you can get sucked into the rock and get stuck there, nor have they fixed the bug with the cutscene where you obtain the Blade of Exile, where if you're holding a button when the cutscene triggers, you won't be able to skip it.
you can't stop me

mmm diablo 3 meta boyss
After reading bunch of negative things about the new changes I can say it isn't world end, I mean at least now you can't just fully charge in forward agro everyone in map and kill everything like it was nothing.

On hardest difficulty modifiers that it is.
[b]Upcoming Patch 1.1.4.0 - gameplay changes.[/b]
[url]http://steamcommunity.com/app/324800/discussions/0/333656722983201079/[/url]
[quote]- Increased cap for experience gained on all difficulties
- Added a significant bonus for experience gained on difficulties higher than normal
- Slightly decreased large and special enemies' HP on difficulties higher than normal
- Added negative stats cap for high level upgrades
- The number of auras for a single enemy is capped to 1 on difficulties below 'Insane tier 2'
- Base physical resist lowered. This change affects all difficulty levels
- After finishing missions for the second time, instead of Skill Points the player now receives a powerful new currency called 'Orbs of Masamune'. The number of Orbs depends on the difficulty level. A new set of violent challenges will be added to the game soon. Players finishing these challenges will be able to imbue Smith's Anvil with power to greatly improve weapon stats. Orbs of Masamune will play crucial role in this proccess.
- Crafting option is now available always after a player unlocks it in the first playthrough
- Items in shops unlocked by story progress are now available always after a player unlocks them on the first playthrough[/quote]
Looks like we're getting endgame stuff
I switched to insanity because "who wants some wang" was too manageable and the first thing I fight is an elite berserker that took a ton of fire and didn't lose any health because of its resistances. I just quit and went back to who wants some wang
Considering buying this game for my girlfriend and myself. She plays a lot of WoW and I'm a fan of Borderlands, and the first SW reboot. I think it'd be a good fit for us.

It's basically like a medium between Borderlands and Shadow Warrior, so probably.
Update is here, time to replay story and get balls.
The game is now ultra easy.
It is not seeming super easy to me.
It's actually much harder than it was yesterday.
finding some more bugs is always fun.
so the skill point limit right now is 137 (95 levels, 42 quest rewards) but you can go over that limit.
the quest ninja'd scrolls 3 is the quest that gives you the force slash skill including a point already in it. now if you reset your skills, even though free points like force slash are supposed to keep their point and not reset fully, force slash goes back to 0. so if you do this before turning in the quest, master smith gives you another free point on force slash, effectively allowing you to max all your skills again if you have the time.
I just beat it and it was a ton of fun. I was worried it was going to be short since I saw some people saying they finished it in 11 hours but it took me 20 hours and I didn't even touch the multiplayer
11 hours is [I]not[/I] short.
It's definitely not a super long game, but from the way they've been updating the game it seems like they want to make it more replayable with NG+.
