Their games are always action oriented, though, so I'm not sure how much of a departure that is.
And Respawning enemies.The main bad part is backtracking.
... and re-spawning enemies.
It's an excellent game. The only thing that brings it down is the backtracking.Surprised to see Techmancer positive post though.
Yeah, the backtracking was fucking killing me, especially with the "every 5 minutes" respawning rate. That and the loot system. P. much everything else is positive tho.It's an excellent game. The only thing that brings it down is the backtracking.Surprised to see Techmancer positive post though.
Some faggots here like to overpraise these games. They are time wasters middle of the row games. Games you play when you are between good games. If you set your expectations accordingly you will have a good time. I have found that alcohol and snacks are needed to get through these.Mars War Logs and Technomancer installed. I sure hope I don't get bored with them.
edit - Oh fuck, I just saw Falksi liked it. That pretty much ensures it's gonna be shit
You have to compare like with like. Technomancer is great for people who loved Mass Effect and are looking for something in that general ballpark. Same for Greedfall and Dragon Age.Some faggots here like to overpraise these games. They are time wasters middle of the row games. Games you play when you are between good games.

you can only play ME1 so many times before you memorize every line of character dialogueMass effect 1 is superior to both of these in every way possible. Theres hardly any backtracking outside of the citadel, the story revolves around a fairly interesting big mystery, it gives you clear goals and a crew of fairly well developed (for its lenght) likable characters. Biotics are more interesting that technomancy and it is overall more memorable.
The technomancer story meanders a lot, and there are things that are left unresolved or with very unsatisfying payoffs. The world building is definitely a weak point here as well and the combat is always the same.
Its been about 5 years since i played technomancer, 10 since i played ME1 for the last time, i still remember most of ME1 pretty clearly, Technomancy i dont, all i remember is killing the same enemy at the same location about 30 times and the end of the game, roughly the same for Mars logs.
They are just are very amateurish games, Spiders clearly lacks the finesse to pull of something like what Bioware could pull out 14 years ago. In the end they just helped me pass the time.
Like i said, adjust your expectations and you will be fine.
I wanted to play Greedfall
I am three hours in Mars War Logs.
On one hand, the game looks disgustingly ugly. Like, both from technical and artistic perspective, it looks like shite. Downsampling does not work either (makes UI look unreadably tiny). And there is a ton of running around and backtracking even right at the start, through this ugly environment, which is not a lot of fun. The thrilling quests such as "bring me saliva" or "bring me trash" do not particularly sate my appetites.
On the other hand, I quite like the protagonist, combat is a simple yet effective rollfest, and the setting/lore seems like it might have some potential.
I haven't uninstalled it yet, so that's a good sign. When I tried it some 6 years ago, I only lasted 90 minutes. But I sure do hope it gets better from here.

These games are not for someone who wouldn't touch a non-turn based RPG or any RPG made before 2002 with a 10 foot pole, obviously.
Mars: War Logs is basically an early tech demo for Technomancer. If you like it, you'll love Technomancer because it's basically the same just a lot better all around.9 hours in Mars, about to end chapter 2. It still mostly sucks, but the god damn RPG gameplay loop of interactive dialogue, combat, bit of stealth, doing quests and improving my character and equipment is just so great that I am actually having fun.
Still though, it is kinda amusing to compare it to Witcher 2, which is two years older than Mars, and superior in every aspect by lightyears.
It still mostly sucks...but having fun.
Finished Mars. 13 hours, did all sidequests I found. It is terrible when it comes to any and all production values (graphics sucks, animation sucks, music sucks), but that aforementioned RPG gameplay loop plus decent writing and likeable protagonist made it somewhat enjoyable, 6/10
Technomancer next
