It's difficult to express just how much I hate Marauders

[Arnold Braunschweiger]

I bet that id wanted us to think "oh neat, it's that cool, difficult enemy that's really different and fun to fight" but honestly whenever I notice one of them in the crowd, all I can think of is hitting Alt+F4 and uninstalling the game.

And now I hear there are two of them that you have to fight at once in the DLC? No. Just no. I refuse to put up with this crap. I will honestly pass on the entire DLC now because mere thought of fighting two of them at once gives me cancer.

It's like they're doing it to spite us because they're salty about the fact that literally the entire community is complaining about this terrible, broken anomaly in an otherwise excellent game.

He's literally the videogame equivalent of a constipation and just like when struggling to squeeze one out, I'm also risking a stroke while trying to defeat these sh!t stains.

This discussion has been done to death. Maybe if you were complaining about this months ago when the game first came out and people were learning strats to deal with him, you could be excused... But now? It's just laughable.

Unlike most of the people who seem to be defending him, I didn't spend the last 6 months playing this game. I played it once when it came out, played it again recently. That's it.

Elitist pricks like you can flex all you want but that won't change the fact that it's a crap enemy.

the ´fact´ is that even that you played one time, it's not fault of the game if you were not good and failed, even that they give you a tutorial of how to defeat him sooo.... yeah i'll just say Git Gud since this discussion about the marauder is really old.

also, you don't like it?, oh well srry but it wont leave or be nerfed on the game :p

I can handle this game on ultraviolence just fine so it's not about skill, it's about Marauders sucking farts.

It's also amusing how you say that I failed, even though I just told you that I finished the game twice. Do you have a learning disability or something?

"I refuse to learn how to deal with this enemy and chew out anyone who explains why my dislike of him is unfounded because it has to do with my inability to adapt to or learn the mechanics."

Yeah, we must be the "elitist pricks" with "learning disabilities." It certainly couldn't be your attitude that's causing the problem because that would require some level of self-reflection.

Oh yeah let's start with the insults right?, srry dude even if you cry about it they won't change anything, and with the DLC they shown with the 2 marauders how the developers feel about those babies like you :p.

also don't generalize, since I don't see the ENTIRE COMMUNITY saying the same and crying like you, right?

If you'd stop for a second to actually read what I wrote instead of playing armchair psychologist then you'd know that I am capable of dealing with these guys, I know the mechanics, and my complaints have nothing to do with my ability to play the game. I stated this multiple times so tell me, if you don't have a learning disability or you're not too busy smelling your own farts, then why is it so difficult for to understand that I'm not talking about the game's difficulty at all?

I didn't insult you. I asked a legit question because you guys just can't seem to grasp that I'm not bad at this game, even though I've explicitly stated that I can handle the difficulty just fine.

But you're right, forgive me. There's just something about people with below-average IQ that brings out the devil in me.

Marauder is not hard. People always ignore the main hint: SHOOT HIM WHEN HIS EYES ARE FLASHING GREEN

quickswap SSG-ballista-SSG and you can land three shots at one.

I didn't say he's hard. I said that he sucks. And yeah, thanks genius, it's not like the game throws a big tutorial screen at you when he first appears and his eyes glow green just before he attacks you. GEE, WHAT COULD IT MEAN?

Got any more revelations to share?

what's your problem then

He doesn’t want to let the game remind him he needs to improve.

Letting the game make you humble is the first step to improving, the game kicks the hell out of you until you evolve in a a monster.

I like this enemy as well.

Ok but for real what is the problem you have in particular? Not fun to fight? Annoying/tedious to fight? I know you don't think Marauders are hard so what is your issue in particular?

I can understand not being as fun to fight as other enemies. Kinda feels restrictive and like you gotta hold back or try to stack staggers with grenades to remove them quickly. I think they work well when paired with something else dangerous, which is why they are not really that exciting in the base game (they are never placed with super heavy demons in the base game).

I try to find creative ways to fight like using aoe from explosives and different combos to keep it interesting but I can understand why you might not like to fight them that much.

[jordyexists]

I see nowhere in your post offering anything that wasn't addressed in the two videos I posted.

The issue isn't "are you skilled enough?" The issue is that you're having any sort of problem with the Marauder, then the game is telling you you're missing on some of its more advanced combat mechanics. You can have all the skill in the universe and without wisdom it would be useless. You might be skilled at using a sledge-hammer, but if you don't have the wisdom to know that you need to use a scalpel for some intricate work, you're going to make a mess. If you then complain the issue is with the person who commissioned your stonework because the little details can't be hammered, and how dare they tell you that you're not a skilled mason, because you've broken down hundreds of stone walls successfully, that person would be completely justified in ending their contract.

But I guess someone as "high IQ" as yourself shouldn't need that explained to you, should they?

You complain about our reading comprehension and you've not even addressed anything anyone else has said, resorting to ad hominem attacks instead. Clearly you must be the brightest person in the room and this can't be a case of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Finally, someone who gets it.

I guess restrictive is a good way to desribe it. It's a showstopper that inexplicably can 100% block the most powerful ordnance at your disposal, even though none of the other demons in the game do that. I would understand if they threw him in there for variety but the game hardly suffers from it as it is.

There is a certain flow to the combat thanks to the fact that every enemy has a specific weakness that you can exploit but, ultimately, you can also just brute force your way through the horde if you lack imagination. But Marauders just completely kill the momentum for me. All I want is to move on but I can't because I have to spend a few moments playing grab a$$ with them. In a game that's all about maintaining speed and momentum it's like having to randomly interrupt your morning jog to play a round of chess.
