combat is worse than fucking witcher 2 and 3
thats how bad it is
also had terrible marketing campaign that tried to save itself at the last minute by making several shill threads not even 3 days before failure of a release
Technoshiller thread?
>>343736894
But I thought people loved the witcher games.
I'm playing through mars war logs and its ok, think im about half way through (helping old whore in shadowlair). I see people bash these games combat alot but to me its no worse than asscreed, bamham or witcher.
Is technomancer better than mars war logs? I like the setting/story
>>343737138
the games are good, but combat in them has always been little less than mediocre
>>343737138
The Witcher games combat is serviceable. It's fun, but it's very shallow and there's not really a variety of approaches you can take.
>>343736995
Not shilling, just enjoying a great game made by the fine people at spiders. This game is easily a GOTY contender.
>>343737187
>I see people bash these games combat alot but to me its no worse than asscreed, bamham or witcher.
The combat in all those games, save witcher, is a a whole lot more responsive and easy to grasp. I never played war logs but combat feels like witcher 2/3. You get used to it and sometimes it's even fun.
>>343737554
>that entire post
who are you even trying to fool? how much do they pay you per reply?
>>343737554
I liked Witcher 1/2/3 combat so I'll give this a go after war logs
>>343735334
>budget rpg
45$, don't care about sale, MSRP is 45$, so budget. 50$ is a normal price for a AAA game on PC, with push from some publishers to bring it up to console 60$. I'm pretty sure Witcher 3 was 50$ on launch.
This game is "budget" in a sense that it isn't good. But that's it.
>>343737902
When I say budget I mean the voice acting varies from bad to passable and the combat animations can look silly.
>>343738121
I think you meant "shoddy", not "budget".
When devs ask full price for a budget product it's called a ripoff or "overpriced". If game costs same amount of money, but worse than other games from the same price category it's usually called "shit".
>>343738362
The game it feels closest to is mass effect and I'd say it's about up to snuff. The voice acting really brings it down though. There have been a couple of scenes so far where the disconnect between voice and what's happening on screen is huge.
Game got cracked, pirate it, don't be retarded.
im in therefore im out
>>343739360
I already pirated it. I'm gonna buy it when I get paid since I believe devs should be compensated for making an enjoyable game.
>>343733086
No it isn't anon. Fuck off. The combat is clunky as fuck, the animations are garbage, the voice actors are all terrible, the crafting and skills are boring as shit, being a technomancer is fucking boring and you don't feel like a bad ass, you're left feeling underpowered and a chinese knock off jedi only somehow shittier, and stop fucking shilling.
>>343739751
Now this is a fine post.
Because of you, I will not try this game out.
>>343739751
In fact, I'm half tempted to record a scene that happens earlier in the game that showcases just how horrendous and shoddy the game is. I wouldn't make a webm of it though because the audio is the piss icing on the shit cake.
>>343739751
>feeling underpowered
I did too until I read some of the skills and tried to come up with an idea since combat was feeling shit. Now my fights usually consist of me hitting everyone with the lightning fist then proccing poison on them for the combined debuff to defenses. After that they die pretty easily.
>>343740263
I've already played with the skills. I got so fucking bored I just gave myself every single one and I still felt like I was playing a fucking cripple.
>>343740386
Maybe you should've used traps. I started using them and they feel pretty overpowered since they're quick to place and knock everyone on their ass while doing a ton of damage. Even to you and your allies.
>>343732125
It's a game made for genre enthusiasts who will overlook problems if they like other elements.
>>343737138
the thing about witcher is that i thought ill end up not liking it but i did end up liking itand thats why i bought trilogy on a sale, and i will probably do the same with this game
>>343740549
Alright, I'm not having any trouble at all shitting on everything constantly. I have never died in this game once. and traps still don't address the fact that you're a regular guy with lame lightning crap where only 2 abilities that could genuinely be considered lightning abilities and they look like shit, and feel underwhelming.
>>343740818
>I have never died in this game once.
I don't believe that. The combat is too jank for anyone to spend any amount of time with it and not get hit at least once. You either get caught on a corner or get surrounded. Your dodge doesn't go through enemies and there's no reliable way to stagger more than one enemy at once.
>anything made by Spidergames not being clunky and very mediocre
it seems like they are making the same shitty game since that crappy mars game, and the fact that the shilling for this sad mediocre pos is still going on is so sad.
>>343732125
It's an enjoyable b-rpg. It h as some flaws but I can overlook them for the parts I enjoy. It's maybe a bit pricey for some people but 30$ look like a right price for it.
Also Spider improved a lot from Mars War log so I find the reviewer to be hard on it only becuase it's not "indie pixel-art" or a "AAA". The game is a 6.5/7 for genre enthusiast.
>>343741195
Not the guy but once I had unlock the tornado i didn't die until the end of the game on normal. I had 64 health injections in my inventory.
>>343741514
Sorry I'm enjoying the game, anon. I'm well aware of it's flaws but there's enough I like about it to keep playing. I'm currently in the 3rd hub area and having a fun time.
Game is okay. Repetitive combat is easily the worst part other than the terrible final boss and ending.
Viktor did nothing wrong.
>>343741762
The only big flaw is all the backtracking to Ophir for a lot of quest, more unique zone would have been nice.
just beat it 20 minutes ago
why was this so much worse than bound by flame
>>343741630
>tornado
Maybe I should've kept leveling the warrior tree instead of switching to rogue. I went full power early.
>took the health regen option for the defense bubble
I regret it so much.
>>343741984
You shouldn't be using Magnetic Shield at all.
>>343741984
>took the health regen option for the defense bubble
Did the same, most of the time, when the shield is up, I can't even tell if it's working or not.
>>343741630
>roastie in a squad
please tell me you can kill her
>>343733973
I like it, but it's the same situation as Bound by Flame and Mars Log for me. I like the setting, I'm genuinely enticed by the story even if it's hardly original or deep but I'm constantly struggling with the shitty gameplay.
Technomancer has a pretty nifty world, although it's not exactly original. The companions are kind of neat as well.
>Can't bro it up with Sean after the tutorial
Also they abused the shit out of Yuri Lowenthal (or his impersonator) he's like every second person.
>>343742104
>Magnetic Shield
Why ? It work well with the upgrade that push back enemy if you got it.
>>343742104
I don't anymore. Overload, weapon buff, and 2 pips for using the fist to proc the 25% defense reduction.
>>343737187
Technomancer on a whole I think is better than Mars Log. The combat has this really delayed feeling to it though, and it's kind of difficult because enemies just swarm your stupid asshole.
For a lightning jedi you're weirdly easy to kill. But you get the hang of it after a while.
>>343742213
It's useless once you learn how to dodge. Not worth a fluid slot.
>>343742274
>The combat has this really delayed feeling to it though
It's the animation. Witcher has the same problem.
what game?
I think it is objectivly decent game. I played it for a bit, absence of jumping is main flaw for me.
>>343739751
God this is all true, and yet I'm playing through the game againwith cheatsbecause I actually kind of like the story.
I seriously don't understand the technomancers, though. Like even outside of gameplay mechanics that make you much weaker than you apparently are... why is EVERY FUCKING CUNT THUG FROM HERE TO THE UNDERWORKS PICKING A FIGHT WITH THE "SPEARHEAD OF THE ARMY"?

Same as why juvie pick a fight with Dredd, they are morron.

>>343742456
>why is EVERY FUCKING CUNT THUG FROM HERE TO THE UNDERWORKS PICKING A FIGHT WITH THE "SPEARHEAD OF THE ARMY"?

its low budget dipshit, of course it will look cheap and clunky. not everything is aaa walking sims. i think its fun and i like the setting and the awkward dialogue from the technomancers
>>343732125
I actually like this game, I beat it on extreme with maxed technomancy, with half of the rouge tree unlocked, with major crit and poison damage with dodge. Max agility/int, and 2 strength, I literally murdered everything with technomancy. I would crit for 500 on the aoe spell, shit was actually fun. And with crafting 3 you could really make your character OP.
Overall an enjoyable experience, it's like bloodlines or any other mediocre rpg with major flaws but a core that is nice to play with some charm. I recommend pirating it, I payed for it though. Play it on extreme.
>>343741514
why do you call it shilling? Do you really think spiders has the budget for that? Maybe people just want to talk about the game. Maybe not every thread needs to be about zero time dilemma and overwatch?
>>343743572
Then if its low budget fagatron prime make a good game within the fucking budget and don't do anything more than that, something spider refuses to do and ends up releasing this trash.

>>343743749
>Thanks for that fucking railroading game
What?
>>343743696
I broke the game with my build, I literally 2 hit everything and could crit for 500 with spells. With my dagger I also did major damage because with every attack it was almost a guaranteed crit, git gud. With the shield spell they only take off 25% of health.
>>343743815
Unless there is some secret combo I'm unaware ofThe army always becomes your enemy
Mars War Logs (2013) - Excellent voice acting, inspired lore, great storytelling. Poor graphics and trash animations. Would definitely recommend for a few bucks.
Bound By Flame (2014) - Mediocre voice acting, uninspired lore, rushed storytelling. Excellent graphics and superior combat to its predecessor. Wouldn't really recommend.
The Technomancer (2016) - Mediocre voice acting, decent lore, rushed storytelling. Excellent graphics but inferior combat to its predecessor. Wouldn't really recommend.
TL;DR - The Technomancer doesn't have the good combat of BBF nor the inspiration of MWL. Spiders needs to stop rushing their games.
>>343743905
Oh, I thought you were referring to later when you have to gather allies to take down Victor.

>>343744170
Oh yeah, sorry. I meant Victor and his guys not the Army. I keep forgetting they're seperate.
I actually liked Victor. He's probably the most half assed attempt at "I shall be civil with you!" I've ever seen.
>>343744275

Maybe it'll happen on a bad karma run.

Is it better than their last game? That thing was fucking awful.
so why is this game getting shit on in the reviews?
>>343744494
Budget games don't get to pay off reviewers.
That said it has some serious flaws that make it hard to recommend.
>>343744494
Because it's garbage.

Fixed that for you
>>343744418
>No option to, after the Technomancers repeatedly mention how fucked they'd be if you revealed their secret, tell Victor your secret literally seconds after said fuck-mentioning mere feet from the fucking Techomancer temple
A facepalming Sean in the distance would also be great.
I find it funny that the crit slow mo effect can be triggered even when your gun is overheated and that allies take damage from your mines.
>>343744494
It's difficult unless you spend some time really thinking ahead with the skills you will use. Hence a lot of people had trouble because they didn't min/max the correct way, especially reviewers.
>>343737554

Do you think he makes you call him Lucky in the man sack?
If I enjoyed this well enough, should I get Mars War Logs?
>>343745291
Yes but keep aware that, like this game, it's a very flawed game. Good, but flawed.
>>343745364
Other than the combat, my main complaints with Technomancer are the constant backtracking to Ophir, enemies everywhere, and a terrible conclusion. Are these same issues present in War Logs?
>>343745483
>Are these same issues present in War Logs?
Yes. However, War Logs had far more likeable characters that were interesting, well voice-acted and well-written. I'd recommend Mars War Logs for a couple bucks, but I'd hesitate to recommend BBF or Technomancer. Also, for some strange reason BBF had much better combat then Technomancer in my opinion, I believe due to how well they pulled off the animations and enemy variety.
>>343747053
I played BBF but not Mars Logs or Technomancer yet. My main hate about BBF was how the enemies did not stagger often. It felt like my attacks had no impact. Has this been fixed in Technomancer?
>>343747656
Enemies will routinely ignore your attacks and whack you for stupid amounts of damage. There are dedicated values for stunning enemies, but some of the heavily armored ones still ignore your hits.
>>343747656
I've noticed the enemies will sort of react when they get hit about 2 or 3 times when you smack them and then, even if you hit them again or are in the middle of hitting them, they stop flailing and just straight up smack you across the chops.
>>343747940
This, you can't stun lock. After a few kick - 2 hit combo you are force to dodge an attack
>>343739751
So is this game is good? If this meme fucker here hates it there must be something.
>>343748295
I like the game, but it's flawed. Combat is frustrating, story isn't anything too interesting but the setting is cool and I honestly like a lot of the characters.
>>343747656
>Has this been fixed in Technomancer?
Nope, and also BBF had much better "enemy attack tells" if that makes sense, basically it was much easier to see the animation for when an enemy was about attack. This translates into a lot of deaths feeling bullshit and why I think BBF had much better combat.
>Taking Yuri Lowenthal to confront Yuri Lowenthal, but not before buying some items from Yuri Lowenthal
>>343748608
>basically it was much easier to see the animation for when an enemy was about attack
It's really fucking bad that enemies will switch to another animation in the middle of an attack.
>>343748608
Didn't have a issue with the enemy tells in Technomancer but I didn't played BBF.
>>343748738
EXACTLY. Glad someone else feels the same way.
>>343748847
BBF's combat feels much better (at least in dagger mode) but it's hard to explain why, but one thing I know for certain is the attack animations for both enemies and the player (at least in dagger mode) were absolutely miles ahead of The Technomancer's. This video shows it pretty well. https://youtu.be/M7osAduXNMk
>>343737554
>squiggly white line is lightning
reminds me of shitty old movies where "lasers" and shit were just scratches on the negative
>>343749275
I didn't use the dagger.
Watchning the video the action look a bit more faster maybe this is why the tell seems better in BBF.
Is Rogue style really worthwhile, or is it just a meme?
>>343748295
It's a European RPG with clunky gameplay, of course /v/ hates it. Unless it's Gothic 2 then they go on and on about how great it is because they saw it on a bunch of top 10 RPG lists on Youtube.
