Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion

没玩过初代，二代也是打折入的，虽然存在一些设计上的问题但这个价格依然值得我好评

爽刷

♥♥♥♥ game

Truly, truly awful.

was halfway through the Legion fight before remembering this is Daemon X Machina and the ost is actually fire

So, overall? I don't really want to recommend this. But I didn't entirely hate it either. If you plan on playing this alone? Absolutely negative do not recommend. The reasons for this are; - The plot, once again, is atrocious. The first game was already a terrible example of storytelling but the gameplay was fine and you could skip through it. This game puts it front and centre a lot of the time, so you are stuck skipping through a lot, getting a new loading screen and then skipping through the next slop filled dialogue that just loses all substance when you are 20 hours into the game and the sheer lack of any coherent storytelling has just melted your brain. - Jank is the name, and it remains the same. There are so many rough edges to Titanic Scion and at many points in the game it will show and frustrate you. Either being stunlocked by weird attacks, getting launched by a tiny rock whilst you are doing a driving mission, horses (yes, horses) deciding now is the time to LEAP at any point, really odd balancing of overworld mob strengths giving you a jarring F2P MMO experience at times where you go from fighting a weak guy to suddenly facing off against the exact same guy but on crack.... the list goes on. - Scaling of the difficulty is number go up scaling. Yep, just bullet sponges and you getting nearly instant killed. I wish they had some better difficulty options but hey, it is what it is. - The world.... is just boring?! There are so many really cool places to see and explore but there is just... nothing of value worth doing?? The mobs are almost all the same, the grind of the game has you killing and fighting the same groups of enemies again and again, the treasure hunting is just egh, the racing is so jank that it's best only done once for the sake of having done it... I was hoping to find far more special encounters in a lot of the more interesting places or perhaps some cool NPCs or settlements but it's just all generic... At the end of the day, you go from having fun exploring to just using the fast travel because it's just not worth looking around anymore. - There's a card game, and it's just a timewaster that is not fun at all. It feels like it was added on to just pad out the game with more stuff. - Waaaaay too many loading screens. - The supposed highlights of the main story lead up to a massive battle. Do you get to experience said battle? Where there are more enemies than ever before on the screen? That every cutscene and dialogue has hyped up? That you have been pining for with a bunch of "Go here and do this" quests????? Yeah no you don't get to do squat. Ride a horse through it and run through some corridors lmao loser you can go do REAL PROTAGONIST THINGS. Man what a waste of potential... The Pros? You can customise your exosuit quite well, you can adjust your playstyle to whatever build you have, we have arm guns again (although a lot worse than the previous game), the music is okay at times (I am so sick of tragic song number 1 that they spam through story moments because ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they only have one sad song and they WILL get their mileage out of it) and the boss fights have some cool designs and SOME interesting mechanics. That's pretty much it. But with a friend, it becomes tolerable. You can do a surprising amount of goofy things and a lot of the cons tend to fade into the background when you can laugh at them or face them with a friend. Suddenly only one of you gets launched in a race and the other can still finish the mission. Suddenly the jank that kills you immediately isn't that bad because your friend is there to pick you up again. The monotony and terribly bland storywriting? You can easily move past it when you and a friend begin mocking it. We had moments where alone, we would have both quit, but we managed to move past it. And we ended up having more fun than we thought we would. Did I want this game to shine more than it does? Yeah absolutely I spent over 40 hours trying to polish this turd into something that inevitably, we did have fun with. There were moments where we were both hyped and loving what we were experiencing, but they were definitely blurred by everything else surrounding them. Would we do it again? Probably not lmao We vastly prefer the previous game over this one, but it was still fun to get together, fight some bosses, collect our builds and beat the game. If you are curious, give the demo a try. And if you think you want to experience the whole thing after, just know that it's not really a dish you should eat alone, especially at that price point. Grab it on sale, take a buddy or two into the mix. Know that there will be jank, know that it won't always be good, but know that friendship makes most things in life far better. And at the end of the day, I have to give Friendship a thumbs up. Not Titanic Scion though, god no! Only do this to yourself if you have a friend who will go through it with you. And be sure to remember; this game will mess with you both. Stop the progression of one of you in the main story, force you to go into singleplayer if you want to use certain systems, and no matter what you end up doing, give you a loading screen count that bethesda would be proud of. I really hope if we get a sequel that it improves on what they have. Focus on the gameplay with the suits/mechs, don't just pad the world out with nothingburger content! Hell I'd rather they go back to mission gameplay if they are just going to give us mining nodes and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ horse racing!

I like idea of flaying around open map and fighting bosses or large creatures farm now I would not mind seen how coop work to play in teams.
