so i hate this games combat because of finisher timing. i hope 2 is going to actully be better

[Zathra]

like holy mother of god. the bolter sucks in this game and on top of this the finishers even when you time it well is the most ♥♥♥♥♥♥ designed gimmic of melee ever. you have no i frames when doing a finisher and each weapon hgas seemingly random or longer finisher timings for longer more grandiose animations that serve no purpos at all. like the power axe. cool i got an axe. sad its finisher likes to cherry pick the attack that takes 3 hits to kill one orc because the devs thought it would be fun to make it more drawn out at the expense of the players ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ health pool. i have come to the conclusion that this game is really only fun on normal as hard just ruins the game. its like im playing half life agian where difficulty is all crap settings where enemys become damage sponges and you take so much damage that it can outright nulify some options the player has to deal with this problem.

if you are struggling with the bolter and executions, its probably a you problem. The bolter is a great weapon in the campaign and you should never put yourself in a position where you are low enough and well surrounded by orks that you die during an execution.

i think your overlooking the inherent flaw of melee in this game

melee becomes obsolete in the second half of the game becasue sniper type enemies will obliterate you while youre fighting in close corders avoid using the hammer as it locks you out of 2 weapons and snipe the chaos marines and priests

You can complete this game on bolt pistol and chain sword, it’s a chapter challenge iirc. Melee just needs timing and knowing how to cancel

I just downloaded this game to get up to date for "Space Marine 2," and mostly breezed through it on HARD difficulty.

I'm guessing the devs intended for you to not be able to spam executions whenever you need them, because that would trivialize the entire game in my opinion.

You have to choose the right moments to perform an execution, usually for me that's when the enemies have thinned out. That's the strategy that worked best for me N E WAYZ.

id probably just watch a no commentary playthrough of the campaign or a story recap vid if i were you lol. this game was a cakewalk on normal until like the final section of the game where the game just starts throwing daemon hosts at you that beam your health down in 5 seconds, but even in that case easy exists, so.

I agree 100% and the sequal is going to have this even worse lol but kids see shiny animations and loose there minds lol! the combat in this game is straight garbage !

It has been confirmed that you take 0 damage when in those animations in SM2

That might've sold me the sequel, I started playing this because the new one looks cool but I was also annoyed by the long executions in this, I think I'm going to drop it and just wait for the new one.

Can you, really? Around... Chapter 6 (?) you are forced to change it for the Plasma Pistol.

I would love to be able to keep the Bolt Pistol until the end, and do a Pistol Only run.

Yeaaaah... I kinda just gave up on the finishers for the most part. I agree with you, I died a good amount of times because I was short on health, and doing a drawn out execution I get shot or hit. It helped me to think of it as Elden Ring and accept my death as an inevitability, but something I could try and learn from.

If it helps I recommend the Lascannon, Storm Bolter, and Power Sword. (If I remember my play-through correctly) .

I understand your rage friend.
