This game's skeleton looks a lot like remnant from the ashes. But it clearly has its own identity. If it's ever on sale or comes to gamepass, i'll definitely buy it.
@JinFreeks
@JinFreeks Год назад
fair, I can very much see where you're coming from tho as somebody who invested some 200 hours (thanks steam for counting for me) I can see a few clear differences as well for one, Remnant has an art style, and I wouldn't ever dare to fault a studios first game for this but Scars looks very ... "trying to look realistic but don't have the team to make realistic happen" and I hope they embrace this flaw and try to develop a more interesting art direction with later titles and Remnant embraces the whole idea that the main gameplay loop *is* the game and builds around it, "finishing" the skill tree takes some 100+ hours, upgrading everything to max even longer, you can run individual levels or the whole game over and over, in a very well working drop in drop out co-op system if you choose so Scars looks like a more story focused single play experience (finishing all the perks in ng, puzzle content that would get very annoying to repeat in cycles, no mention of a cycle system or co-op - those are what I base this guess on) but I may very well be wrong about that since it's guesswork after a 9 minute video I watched

It's an ok game. I 100% it in about 6-8 hours of actual game time, that included 1st playthrough on hard then having to replay on easy because 2 of the scanning trophies didn't unlock even after scanning everything. The biggest issue I had aside from that is the pacing of the weapon unlocks. You get 3 of the weapons decently early on, but by the time i got 4th weapon and alt fire modes for certain weapons it felt like there wasn't much time left in the game to actually play around with them and then I just ended up use the default firing modes because they were better in most cases.

Honestly firearms would be even better in space because the lack of air resistance meaning you could be pushing projectile speed beyond the barrier around five thousand feet per second for small arms. It gets even funnier because the actual injury caused by this would be a basically a clean hole that all you would need to do it clog it with quick-clot(you can do this now but you will still be in danger) and you would be fine.

@@thaddeusgenhelm8979 hypothetically, you could use low grade binary to act as a propellant in a solid state instead of gunpowder in crushed powder state of matter. Binary explosive small grade form would be able to function in an environment lack of oxygen, because all it would require is a spark of electrical charge to set off. Use an incredibly small amount and it’s safe you too much and you have no more head.

I just finished the game with my first PS Platinum Trophy ever. I really liked the experience. The story is nothing big and nothing new but it´s well made and enjoyable. A lot of ideas from the beginning of the game vanish later almost completely but the game is short enough,. I finished the game in almost 8 to 9 hours. At the end I had eleven points over to spend in my fully upgraded ability tree. All in all a mediocre but enjoyable game. Worth a play. Thanks for giving it a review.

A lot of the complaints around the 5 minute mark looks kind of like developer oversight due to crunch time before release. I wouldn't say I'm surprised by that if it is the case. The graphics thing doesn't necessarily bother me, because I don't think high resolution is anywhere near as important as the art style is. Unfortunately, this game kind of looks a little less detailed than it wanted to be.

@@ChaosFox36 TBF, if you want to invest way to much time and effort you can make actually super late game build around fire bombs. *But* ... for one you're investing some 100+ hours here. And then you end up with a build that very much cannot do content on par with what you had to do to get it and if you just want to downscale and have fun than that's basically the only way a firebomb build can clear ng (or way of the samurai) which is a bit of a sad state for firebombs in this game. Sidenote: Consumables only is basically how Nioh 2 is speedran so don't knock all the stuff you can chuck at your enemies, it's mostly really just the firebombs that aren't that good.

i strongly disagree with 'targeting enemies weakness' line. that first boss was practically unbeatable when i tried to hit its weakness (i had aim assist turned off). first i tried freezing it until i realized that it took 1/4th damage from fire weapons even on its weak point i abandoned it immediately. then i tried hitting it directly, and despite my ability to (in borederlands) hit multi snipe head shot, quick scopes and and do silly gun play wizardry was almost entirely unable to hit the weak point at all (i think mostly due to the delay on the fire weapon... odd design to make the first enemy where that stuff matters the hardest possible combination of traits. even the enemies directly after are easier to exploit than the enemies directly before that boss). i ended up just freezing it and loading its soft fleshy face with lightning, and won that attempt. theres an enemy in the later game which has a lot of fire weak points, and even triggering them (which with slow time is still kinda hard to do) it doesnt just die. if you use acid then it just insta dies and you dont even have to aim. double true of the wood armor enemy, which you can break the armor open and use a scan to find a hidden weak point, except if you use acid its already dead. feels more like exploits than engaging with game mechanics. 7:40 oh and those bats that you one shot with your cryo weapon, their entry specifically says they are resistant to being frozen (so i never even tried that). so just great misinformation there....
