All I have to do is obliterate (or kill the boss) with captain on monsoon and I have 100%d the game!
I haven't even touched that new game mode that gets harder as you beat it :/
Well I'm absolutely awful at this game. Only managed to even get to the first teleporter a couple times on Rainstorm difficulty and finally dropped it to Drizzle and then only made it to the 2nd area. Yeah this might not be a great game for me, my skills seem to be very... lackluster. Fun to play but man is it punishing!
There's a lot of variance to the game and a lot of it can come down to luck of the draw on items on higher difficulties. I wouldn't say MUL-T is easier or harder than Commando, but Huntress is easier to play on the surface since she has auto-aim.I just started playing this on Xbox and am having a blast. I love how they adapted the first into 3D - SO well done!
Question though - I've unlocked two extra characters so far (Huntress and MUL-T) and both seemed to be significantly easier to play than the Commando.
With the Commando the game starts you with, I could get to the 3rd or 4th level on Normal difficulty a couple of times, but usually died around level 2 even when trying to go fast.
But the first time I played as the Huntress, I easily got to level 4-5. And the first time I played as MUL-T, I even got the deja vu achievement to loop all the way back to the beginning.
Is this something commonly agreed upon in the game, that these two characters are far easier to play as than the Commando? Or is there something about the Commando I'm missing? Or something else entirely?
Though the Huntress is a big double edge sword. She's fast and does a ton of damage.
But holy fuck the amount of times a run will end cause you get hit from one attack off screen is insane.
Same issue with Artificer. They're glass cannons. The bell enemies are especially good at one shotting you
I was on my second loop on a Monsoon run and died due to Stone Golems.
Not one.
Not two.
Not three.
It was like fucking 10 that all spawned and all targeted me at the same time so I as dodged 1 and 2, 3 - 10 hit me and killed me.
I've had success running away and hiding behind cover, but I'm really not sure if that's the best way.
You can use that jelly boss AOE attack as well if you get it I think, does insane damage.
Closest thing is getting the Genesis Loop item which nukes everything around you when you have low HP
Risk of Rain and its sequel are both very different from Dead Cells. But they're both excellent in their own right.I am considering this, how would you compare this to Dead Cells?
On my second run ever I spent like 30 minutes looking for the teleporter in the 3rd world.
Also, look for the red particles near an area, this is where the TP is.
The general consensus is to constantly be moving and scout the first minute or so in a level. Don't stop moving, constantly remember where key chests/terminals are. Never stop to fight mobs until they are grouped up and/or you need $.

Dead Cells has a massive component entirely about progression. Gradually unlocking new abilities, better equipment, new areas, and more.
Risk of Rain 2 is much more of a "pure" roguelike in that you start over from scratch each run, with minimal progression from run to run. It's not zero progression - you do unlock new characters and a few other abilities or artifacts you can unlock to apply to subsequent runs, but RoR is significantly less focused on that kind of progression.
Yeah, after doing a few more runs, the final stage is not great. It looks good and has a nice BGM but it's just way too empty and you're screwed if you don't have mobility items. Happened to me with Commando and I just had to fall into the void and hope the game would teleport me further into the level. Also, theWarthog Run after the boss is not very interesting if you're just doing the same stage backwards.
You can use RoR2ModManager to download mods and create profiles. I like the base game as it is so I'm just running with QoL stuff. I have a friend who likes BiggerBazaar so I have that installed atm.
However, there's some really crazy stuff out there. Like Goku survivor levels of insanity. Beware though, if you're playing with others, all must have the same mods installed otherwise it won't establish a session.
I just got into the game and played 3 hours and really enjoy it. Is there any mods that improve the hit feedback when shooting. I may be jumping the gun as I haven't tried any other characters besides the main character but when using his weapon it feels like you're hitting enemies with rain drops.
I couldn't find an OT for this, is there not one? I've got the PS4 version coming tomorrow and I like what footage I've seen of this. I didn't realize consoles didn't have 1.0 yet, is there any reason to wait to start playing until that hits? Any sort of unlockable progress that will get reset, or major changes to get used to or anything?
On PC progress hasn't been reset. The 1.0 update does introduce a final stage and boss, but you really don't lose anything from playing now. I had 150 hours before 1.0 dropped and its really just some tweaks here and there (plus one new character)
Really? It was part of a sale last month, and I play almost everyday since I bought it. Only played online once, though.This game is dead on PS4, and too boring to play solo, I don't think this update will help.
Never had a problem finding a game (in the EU).This game is dead on PS4, and too boring to play solo, I don't think this update will help.
You can even hide behind the arches of the tele if you're in an open field, it's a bit finicky but it's a great last resort.

Weird, could hardly find any game
Absolutely fine. No doubt you'd get some slowdown after playing for 120mins with a screen full of bosses, but same story on PC.
Ah ok, and is 1.0 out on PS4 yet or still no?Absolutely fine. No doubt you'd get some slowdown after playing for 120mins with a screen full of bosses, but same story on PC.
Not yet. Due on consoles some time this year. Plenty of content/replayability in the meantime though!
