Is this game frustratingly difficult?

Looking for something that is not crazy difficult.

Good to hear. How far are you in the game?

The game is indeed kinda surfing on the FromSoftware trend and might look, at first, a bit harsher than it should be, the first boss might be a biiiiiiiiiit intimidating even in the easiest setting but, tbh, it's MILES AWAY from being as hard as some stupidly harder games. I'd say that the first boss, that happens quite early in the game, makes you fear it'll be a very hard journey. But once you understand how to kill it, you instantly realize it was not that hard at all and would gladly kill three of them in a row if needed to. And you'll get stronger and stronger, both your character and yourself as a player, by the end of the game ; the game will be quite easy.

Definitely not the easiest games ever, far from it, but equally far from being a difficult one too. If you survive the first hour of gameplay, I'd say it's an average game regarding it's difficulty, a bit on the easier side even. The more it goes, the stronger your character is, the more accustomed you're to the game design and patterns, the easier everything becomes.

It is one of these games that reaches peak difficulty from the get go, then goes softer and softer.

Good to hear another person who felt the game got easier. As I've stated many times over, the Alpha is only hard because you have no gadgets yet.

I think the only reason this game is so freaking hard is that the guns all suck. If there was even one decent weapon this game would be a lot more fun.

I noticed the weapons werent great. I started off liking it and sadly it turned bad for me and I havent come back to it since

The 1st boss from chapter 1.
Been trying for hours with no luck.


1st boss chapter 1 unbeatable...
anyone have any ideas as to how I beat him.
FIRE weapons is useless to me, I CANT hit him quick enough.
Just running around in circles getting bashed :*(

Tried to freeze him to slow him down, but that counters the fire LOL

is there something I am missing here ?


SCREW the Fire WEAPON... Freeze it then smash with the electric gun.
almost refunded due to this.

what if you don't have a freeze gun? The fire gun doesn't charge fast enough to get a shot off.

Yeah but that would make you too OPed too quickly.

I agree with you. Why throw money away on something you're not going to enjoy? I mean, isn't that just common sense? lol

I bought this game when it was on sale over a year ago, and never downloaded it until yesterday. So i can't refund it or I would.

Not at all. I'm not suggesting adding over powered weapons. I'm suggesting fixing their broken mechanics. I'm sorry but this games mechanics are utterly broken. Seems like all they cared about was recycling mass effect 4 left overs, and didn't put any effort into making sure the fundamental mechanics work. It's like back in the 80s there was this game called Ninja Geiden. There's a part where you have to jump from one platform to another, but the developers didn't get the numbers right, as the result, you can only jump so far and the platform is just further than that. It completely breaks the game. Something very similar has happened with scars above. Some of the basic mechanics of the game are broken in the same way.

Yeah but those of us who never played Mass Effect of Ninja Geiden....

I myself liked the game, but I had a friend who gave me a steam card, so while I did buy it when it came out, I only had to pay half the money.

Look, I've tried to explain the bosses over and over again in many of these threads. There's just too many who feel the game would be unbeatable because of the Alpha. In reality that's the hardest boss, and I felt was the game's way to fool you into make it seem like it's harder than it actually is.

I like the game it's just broken. I KNOW how to do it. Everybody does. That's not the issue people are having. If you would pay attention to what people are saying, you might begin to see what the actual problem is. The time the fire gun takes to charge, isn't set right. It's a mistake and a flaw in the game. It's broken. That's why the jump in ninja gieden was impossible, and it's why the rock monster is impossible. The developers make a mistake. It happens.

They want to "fool" people into thinking it's hard is an utterly silly statement to make. I literally busted up laughing.

[ragnarok]

The charging of the thermal gun merely means you have to time it right. It still doesn't make the Alpha boss unbeatable. I WILL admit the timing can get annoying at times though....

[gendibal2]

you are ruining the success of your game with this alpha boss. even in rookie mode and maximum aim assistance. Really. I also see the average of positive reviews dropping, probably because of that. you are unconscious.

[gendibal2]

you will be advised to publish an update as soon as possible to resolve this
