This game is too hard!!!

[AirTrack]

I'm stuck at the lvl4 rescueing Doctor mission.

Constantly gets killed by the boss at the roof top.
The take cover action control is totally garbage,
some place you use left/right to move behind the cover, some place up/down instead, and you can't tell which is which.
Press the wrong button and the char will just stands right up, it is so stupid...

You will get used to it, don't get frustrated. It can be a bit finicky for me too. If you tap spacebar even in mid dive you can snap to cover. Just avoid tapping it too much, sometimes it feels delayed by just a hair, and it causes you to pop out of cover, also the same problem happens with skills if you're not careful, some can be cancelled, like the turret and ballistic shield for example. Stay with it, it's a fantastic game now.

It was getting easy until today.
I hit level 30 so everything on the map jumped to match me.

I enjoy a challenge sometimes but not ALWAYS.

OP...leave the area. Go grind your way to about level 6 and go back.

If you haven't tried yet, IMHO, it's best to do all the side missions and encounters before you attempt the main mission. Buff yourself as much as possible. At least way back in the beginning of this game that seemed the way to go about it. Maybe since all the updates things have changed. I'm speaking strictly about solo play though.

Might also be your gear. This is a loot game first and foremost. Treating it solely as a shooter will make you quickly hate the game.

Understand what some (doesnt need to know all) of the stats mean, and that armor really is important.. You'll quickly realize that even if you try to specialize into firearms or electronics, you'll still need a decent amount of damage mitigation.

As for the cover system, ya, it can be a lil finicky, especially if you're encountering lag or framerate drops.

watch out for these guys in game. they will show up as purple targets that think they are elite, but they will fall pretty easy.

For this mission, I swing out to the right past the main point to climb up and use physical structures on the map to block the main guy's line of fire. You don't always need to use "cover" for protection. You can then kill the little guys at your leisure, and 1v1 the boss. Just take your time and pick your shots and you'll be fine.

just keep your distance man

I appreciate the fact that at lvl 8, I can't just walk through level 3-6 NPC's.
If I don't use the cover mechanic properly, they're still deadly.
To me thats great.
Making NPC's my level a real challenge.
If you don't like a challenging combat game, maybe tetris, or bubble pop is on steam sale now.
Warning: Tetris and Bubble Pop will get challenging as you go deeper in them as well.
Maybe checkers
Or you could try playing with some lint.

You're playing it wrong then!
It's not COD, the simplest way to explain how to play it is 'keep your distance, use cover, don't get flanked'

Dying? Run away and regroup/use a med kit.
Enemy too tough? Work on your guns and mods or group up.

Why do people say the game is too hard when what they really mean is that they dont know what they're doing?

Why dont you ask for pointers on how to get better instead of saying the game is too hard...at level 4...thats a joke, its clear you dont know how to play this game. Ask for gameplay help.

This is a group based game, maybe you should ask how to use the group finder?

This trend of people blaming the game for their shortcoming is going to turn all video games back into pong. Stop asking for everything to be kindergarten easy.

This is a single player game and there is nothing wrong with a story only/easy mode for a single player game.

What's really sad is you kids crying when someone doesn't like something you like.
Back to your safe place now....

Don't tell me you're not a child. Your posts say otherwise and any further argument on the matter would just be further proof of your maturity level. lol

Now quitcherbitchin. Help or move along.

You're 0/2 and I havent even gone through half your post
Theres no help I can provide to someone saying the game is too hard at level 4
But that doesnt mean Im going anywhere

See? You make my point for me. lol...I picture you stomping..."I'M NOT A CHILD"
And I played it from start to finish solo. That's called single player.
Granted,it does have a limited/broken co-op but it is definitely a single player game.
