How long did you leave it to replay?
Great. Sometimes (much more so on Hard). Better than you'd think.
Really good game.
Some of the fights with medium to large sized machines can be very difficult, but fortunately the game has a wide array of tools to help you. Without the right equipment it can be pretty damn tough. The story starts off slow and unremarkable but steadily improves until you're completely enthralled by it. Well worth sticking with it, I felt the game started fullfilling its potential by the halfway point. That's the point when it becomes hard to put the controller down.
Yeah it's good, new weapons are a nice touch and the new machines are great.
The story is a bit meh compared to the original but the new environments and particularly the snow effects are stunning and you get some of the meanest machines to test yourself against. There's one type of enemy in particular that is just insanely hard, you can throw pretty much everything in your arsenal at it and it still walks away laughing.
I thought the story was great. Very emotional, especially the ending.
It's on that level. Top tier...
There's no "lock on" but the aiming is still subtly assisted by default. You can turn it off afaik.
You'll want to keep some of it because you use it to craft your ammo. The inventory menus do a good job of letting you know what to sell and what not to.
How did you find ultra?
So fecking hard for me because I'm not the greatest gamer (basically I have zero patience to learn) but at the same time to forced to be aware of every single's machine weakness and how to kill them the most efficient way.
Yeah I rarely go back for the toughest version unless I love the game (Witcher 3, Last of Us). Never really had time for the Bloodsouls series in particular because I have such a short fuse that they drove me bananasSo fecking hard for me because I'm not the greatest gamer (basically I have zero patience to learn) but at the same time to forced to be aware of every single's machine weakness and how to kill them the most efficient way.
Honestly I learned the value of using elemental explosions for maximum damage
Horizon is one that definitely tempts me though, as is GoW.I'm trying to imagine the bloody Valkyries on the highest difficultYeah I rarely go back for the toughest version unless I love the game (Witcher 3, Last of Us).

I made a point of not keeping more than a single stack of each machine component, so once your watcher lenses or whatever start to overflow to another stack, sell them. Either way you're going to start running out of inventory space so I'd recommend upgrading you pouches/inventory as soon as possible. I think you need a bunch of animal resources to upgrade them.
Ultra hard makes this game even more enjoyable. You have to think before you engage, literally any encounter can go tits up if you don't take it seriously. You have to actually think about the type of weapons and mods you use and what you do with em.So fecking hard for me because I'm not the greatest gamer (basically I have zero patience to learn) but at the same time to forced to be aware of every single's machine weakness and how to kill them the most efficient way.

Spot on. It feels like a completely different game, you definitely use more stealth for starters and every combat feels like you need to super focused. The whole experience is so much different
Have you done the one where you took on more than you could handle so you end up running off, only to run into more trouble, and end up running for ages until you lose the machines? And then take a breather?

That's one of my ultra hard memories, as well as taking on 2 behemoths and around 10+ assorted machines and coming out on top. Think I recorded that one.
Game can be relentless, specially when you haven't unlocked the ride to call for in order to get away.
That was the 1 I was talking about earlier

best way to kill them is shoot off their little feet with with the airblaster thing, that way they can't dig underground anymore.
They've got some big fire canisters that you can blow up and they die pretty quickly.
In that big open desert area? If so be careful not to agro additional machines while fighting, because if you think 1 is annoying....I cheated a bit with the encounter at the quarry. Went to higher ground, shot it's feet and legs so it couldn't dig anymore then just picked it off.
I accidently stumbled across two whilst I was exploring so I'll go back to them later
You will take em on, just to do it.
