I was playing it on PS4, and came across a not-so-uncommon bug that makes the game immediately freeze upon launch, so I uninstalled it about halfway through the Wyatt storyline and didn't look back. Many of them had to do with all the ways in which DOOM improved on what were some pretty obvious touchstones they lifted from New Order to make for a more fluid, dynamic experience, while others had to do with the oddly sloppy way the game handles going in and out of cutscenes and the outstandingly uninteresting and amateur way those cutscenes are directed. I played The New Order my first time around with it, last summer after DOOM, on the medium difficulty and had a hard time getting into a groove with the game for a variety of reasons. It takes away some frustration when you die from some bullshit scenario. I'm so used to playing FPS games on PC quick saving every 10-15 minutes or so. Also grenades are fucking powerful.ĮDIT: I'm super glad they put in a quick save in the PC version for this, which they did not do for The New Order if I remember correctly. Find good cover and a good distance, make good use of the ability to lean out of cover, and just take potshots and keep yourself out of harms way. If that fails, which it often does for me, I just play it like a cover shooter 90% of the time. What I learned from New Order though is to always try and go for the stealth approach, taking out the commanders is super important. I'm still playing on Bring Em On difficulty but I'm only a couple of hours in. This game is worse though because as many others have mentioned, the feedback on taking damage is not clear enough. There were some specific sections that were just straight up unfair or just kind of trial & error like in their design. The New Order had similar issues despite the feedback being better. Also, the enemy does approximately the same thing every time you re-try, unless you do something different. Dual wield assault rifles take down the big guys surprisingly quick. Last battle just now was me finding an angle and killing everyone who approached, including the Commander, the one guy working the mounted laser was my only distance kill. Run and gun is simply no way, for my skill level anyways. Tips, reload every chance, and headshots work wonders on everything so far. Also ammo pick up hitting E can be jittery. But hey, it may change.ĮDIT- complaints, even the guys in what I call English t shirts are bullet sponges, kind of ridiculous. But I kind of know when I am too exposed/taking damage, and the guns sure feel like you are firing something. I hit rough patches, and I have done that keeling over bit a few times also. Afterwards I saw that there was venting all over the place for me to pop in and out of. In one section I just stayed behind a fence plate on the second floor, and got them all with no damage. For normal (Bring it on) there is a ridiculous amount of guns, ammo and health all over the damn place. I don't complain because hey, I know what that would get me.īut I am oh, 2 hours in, not too far distance wise because it's me, but I'm making progress. I'm enjoying the game but I have the same complaint a lot of people had from the New Order which is I wish this game played more like DOOM and less like Far Cry. I played The New Order and The Old Blood on "I Am Death Incarnate" because I thought it sounded cool and made me feel like a badass but since that's now the ultra hard difficulty I doubt i'll be doing that with this game. Which I tend to take advantage of during the stealth sections, which I suck at. Third tip, make use of the ability to save anywhere. Second tip, running and gunning is good for when you need to relocate and it's the most satisfying way to play but also the most dangerous. I'm playing on Hard and just did the bit where you save the resistance woman with the child and found that strategy helped. First tip, when you're outnumbered find a wall and use the lean to pop out as if it were a cover shooter, it takes them a good two to three seconds to register you're there so if you take them out in that time then you'll be alright.
