TAG1 sucks, is TAG2 any better?

[Igris]

TAG1 just isn't fun to me, I loved the game and enjoyed but in TAG1 they just throw like 300 enemies at you all at once in some small ass area. First time I started running into ammo problems in this game. Don't get me wrong, I love when game gives a good fun challenge, but this is just neither of those.

Please tell me TAG2 doesn't throw 2 archvilles, few tyrants, a doom hunter, buffed demons and a spirited demon at you all at once, that sh*t just ain't fun honestly.

better 40 demons than 4. If you have a hard time, lower the difficulty. More demons = more fun = more gameplay.

Just spawn kill them as soon as they spawn.

This dlc managed to suck all of the fun out of this game, forcing you to use specific weapons now to kill certain demons is just a bs mechanic.

it's one enemy, my lad. and it's a specific part of said enemy. if one enemy sucked the fun outta the game for you, i don't know what to say.

Not true.

For me, 40 demons clustered up = charge in with personal shield + flame belch + blood punch × 3+ times until everything is dead/scattered.

For others its rockets, destroyer blade, grenades, chaingun... really any gun.

A lot of the people who loved Tag1 expressed dissapointment in Tag2, so maybe since you dont like Tag1 you might enjoy Tag2?

I loved both DLC's. Both have their merits. TAG 1 is challenging and makes you prove you have mastered the combat loop. TAG 2 is just plain fun, and you feel like an unstoppable force of nature. I can't wait for DLC master levels. Blood Swamps master level? I can only get so erect, lol.

Drop your difficulty level?

Hardly any difference really. Difficulty is not really a problem, just having 40 demons in your face is annoying and unenjoyable.

it wouldn't be doom if you didn't have 40 demons in your face.

Having played TAG 1 before and after the TAG 2 release changes, this is how I'd put it:
1. Before the change, TAG 1 was very challenging, but the pacing was exhausting. Before getting to your first major arena (which is also pretty long), you already have a lot of fights getting there.
2. After the change, the pacing is MUCH improved. The first two levels in TAG 1 are long, and by making the fights on the way to the arenas easier, the DLC doesn't feel so exhausting to go through. Before the patch, I had to break up the each level into 2-3 runs because I'm just exhausted after the big arena fights.
After the patch, TAG 1 is still challenging for beginners, but is more consistent (yet still harder) with TAG 2's pacing.

The problem with TAG 1 for people who aren't the Nightmare players is the difficulty spikes are huge.

TAG 2 is much less difficult, and the spikes are more bearable. It can still get pretty intense later on, but that's only if you choose to do the second escalation encounters. So if you're looking for a challenge, TAG 2 is definitely easier. But what I do like about it is the variety of encounters. It's more experimental with enemy waves, so some of the fights do get interesting, like being stuck in a small room full of toxic sludge with a Screecher Zombie that you can't kill while being charged by a Hell Knight. The final boss fight in tAG 2 is pretty awful however. Even after beating it, I didn't enjoy it at all.

Personally, I believe that defeating a full horde of demons feels badass.
