Fun game?

[Despina TTV]

I was a huge fan of the classic SW and the remake when it came out. This game is different in a few ways to what I'm seeing but wondering if it has the fun value like the previous one. And do a lot of people play 2?

I think it's very very different from the first. Still really fun but very little in common mechanic-wise

True

It's great fun but it's different from the 2013 one. not too many people play, meaning you'll be able to find games but you'll also begin to recognize everyone's names.

Thanks for the answers. Final thing, is there a lot of content, missions, and whatnot to do?

[🌎Earth]

oh hell yeah there is

There's plenty and as you often have some freedom in finding the path to your objective and also plenty of freedom in choosing a way of dealing with enemies, you shouldn't get bored too easily. I'd say fun&quality value compared to the first game is 3x better, while sadly story-wise is 3x worse.

Still, if you're in for action and gameplay that makes DOOM blush, it's a game for you. It's great.

If you wanna play in Coop we can play together.

Its a solid game. Some elements are a bit weird though. Like the "miss rate" thing. A minor notation. But if something has a"miss rate" it can potentially go right through the enemy and not to any damage. Like a miss in an rpg. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid if you ask me. Aside from that? A lot of enemies are a kind of dumb, in that they run right friggen at you. There isnt much of a mix of intelligent ai really. But if you are just looking for some quick action. Then definitely pick this game up. Its kind of like a lesser version of DOOM.

actually dude, the "Miss Rate" thing actually makes firearms MORE accurate!!!

for example, if you crafted an extremely high-level Dual-Wield gem with a stat like "Miss Rate 115%" marked in green, it actually makes it alot more accurate.

It's a blast, dude!
There's a lot to do but it's all kind of the same - Lo Wang kicking ass.
It's a game focused around kicking ass and finding more ways to kick ass harder.
loot craziness.

(I'm not in agreement with the "lesser version of Doom" statement - rather it's the sequel to Shadow Warrior, a game that came out years ago and plays like a refined 'Hard Reset' with solid melee combat. Doom was years away from a reboot at that point and has since borrowed ideas from other games, including Serious Sam. And, of course, SW2 has the Borderlands/Diablo element)

It's an okay game. SW2 is like those movies that you see and enjoy at first, and then you realize eventually that it's nothing special. It tries to be Borderlands with a Shadow Warrior 2013 skin. I don't know how the game balance is these days, but they kept changing it when I played, and that really turned me off.

The reason not many people play is because the game just isn't all that good. For example, you play a game like Dark Souls III and you'll almost never see the same person twice unless you constantly PvP in the same area and at the same character level for a while. Both DS3 and SW2 came out in the same year, so it's not like SW2 has age for an excuse. Rather, it's because DS3 is a legitimately good game. A game's online activity is indicative of both age and, more often than not, how good it is.
