Unfair Early difficulty spike?

[Kyle Nuva]

Deep in the hive the elite bugs and super battle droids are built like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tanks and wipe you out like its childs play. WTF? you die and cant even select one of the three options but wait to be revived or start over? wow great game so far. NOT. 1000 enemies and some that take forever to kill and eat up all your ammo. not enough ammo or good weapons, even the elite guard beam was short lived, thanks game

[maVRoyal]

Sorry for necro...but this game was never meant to be easy but to be harsh tactical shooter. (harder parts are still awating for you :P)

*cough cough* droid ship without anti armour ammo *cough cough*

Thats what whole game is like, from start to finish. Its not like the new games nowadays. This game requires you not to suck at it.

That's not unfair, that's called challenge. It's what makes a game fun and what makes me yearn to play the game again and again

You have tactical options available to you. Cover, 4 types of genades, a sniper, team mates with limitless ammo, gun emplacements, anti armour weapon not to mention an interesting selection of lootable enemy weapons and tactical situations.
It's quite a lot to work with really, Once you get into the groove it's like a clockwork shooting gallery.

It only gets better as the game goes on and throws even more at you.

Theirs in fact so much to work with that the game is one of the few "authentic" feelings of what it would be like to be in a war with 3 other wise cracking idiots.

Not really but the camaradrie is indeed nice.

There is no "early difficulty spike" or difference between "easy" and "hard" difficulties. Just a ton of bugs, the occasional damage sponge and really bad design choices around every corner.

The gameplay cycle is essentially "I died due to some surprise some designer thought was funny. Now I know there's a thing there. Now it's easy because I know it's there." and all the tedium of a game that relies on scripted sequences.

best advice I can give you is use cover. they arent exactly the best shots but if the SBD hits you like once, you're out

[Syionic]

Walk up to the SBD, orbit him at close range, stab him until he dies. He'll be whacking the air while you stab. Also, just abuse your teammates and hide behind cover all the time.

Sounds like A+ gameplay enjoyability.

Screw EA and Disney; they gave us no choice but to play these outdated games. Why the hell does it take 4 commandos 30 seconds of firing non-stop at a super battle droid to take it down? Droidekas are weaker than SBDs? Heresy.

wtf. I beat this game when I was like 12 back in the day. It really isn't difficult. My only gripe with RC is that it's too short! Its end on such a cliff hanger. (which I will not spoil). Key to taking down SBDs, focus your squads fire just like the game tells you to do in the tutorial or use grenades. Im very fond of the electro-stun grenades or whatever they are called.

^This.

I beat this game countless times as a 6 year old kid. There's a wise saying regarding challenging games, and it goes something like this: git gud

Almost all of these comments are extremely useless. The best tactic I use is when you're fighting the elite enemies, Super battle droid and heavy Trandoshan are examples, I use the sniper rifle and aim for their head. If you're fighting droids, using the electric grenade helps out so much because it drains their health AND it stuns them. Just watch out, you only have 5 of them so use them wisely.

When you run out of sniper though the best thing to resort to with supers is to circle them with the knife

Don't forget about the grenade launcher because that kills the super battle droids in almost one hit. Also, certain spots allow your teammates to have snipers and they can become overpowered with snipers. I remember just watching them take down a spider droid by themselves with just snipers.
