Why is it too high? It's fun as hell, looks good and it's pretty long. I'm in chapter 5 (out of 17) at the moment and Steam says i played for 6,5 hours. That's on insane difficulty though.
Why is it too high?
Also one thing that I find a bit annoying - those decorative bloody gore and corpses everywhere. They're way too many and their models are very repetitive, it's almost as bad as Fallout 3's bandit locations with the hanging corpses. Seeing too many of these unnatural gores just defeats the purpose of being disturbing.
Guys, how do I get more stars/shurikens on the fight challenges? I seem to be stuck at 2.5 shurikens for most of it, and that's with me swapping weapons, going for decapitations and using the special sword moves. Are you graded on how quickly you kill stuff rather than how spectacularly you do so? Because I seem to get the best rating by blowing all the baddies up with nearby cars or explosive barrels.
So, this game is a shitty Serious Sam clone pretending to be an old school shooter? Like Hard Reset? I will play the original Shadow Warrior then, it's free on Steam.Yeah, okay, fuck this. I've seen enough
This game is like Hard Reset all over again, a horrible pseudo-oldschool shooter for people who hate shooters.
I dunno if it's some sort of an elaborate joke that I'm not getting, but I wonder if those guns are even supposed to be used at all considering how fucking horribad they are. A crossbow with no accuracy and no damage, akimbo uzis that do nothing but just chew up through ENTIRE AMMO LOAD ON A SINGLE MOB OF SHITTY GOONS, shurikens that seem to be just for flavour and a generic revolver that appears to actually be the only fucking gun that packs the slightest amount of punch. And you don't even get to use them too much because they do shit for damage and you just keep wasting ammo that's pretty scarce. Even the goddamned upgrades you can get are fucking underwhelming, holy shit, how can you fuck this up so bad.
Which leaves us with the katana which is the only viable method of going through enemies, but it's not even fun either. wowowowo look at me i spam LMB and people die how exciting.
Shit corridor levels with horrible visuals and bloom overload, hell yeah.
Generic copypasta enemies that can barely harm you (and if you do LOLOLO REGEN MAGIX), look like lifted straight from Clive Barker's Jericho, and obviously come in only two types for the entire of the fucking first levels because enemy variety is not fun amirite lololololo
BUT OMG IT HAS RETRO SIKRITZ SO COOOOOOOL
And let's not even get started on this tryhard humour that didn't even get me laughing once that's trying to be witty, but is just stupid, and badass, but never really getting offensive ("I don't wanna sound racist but all you demons look the same" OSNAP SON, I'M SLAPPING MY KNEE LAUGHING). And how the FUCK can you drop the ball on fortune cookies so much? Here's a cheap reference to sum movie or song, haha plz laff at dis!
All this piece of shit lacks to complete the experience is some kind of "look out Wang, it's an MG42!", HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG FUCK
Well, to be fair, in the original SW, UZI chew through the ammo load waaaaaaaaaaaaay too fast for the actual punch they were packing, as well.akimbo uzis that do nothing but just chew up through ENTIRE AMMO LOAD ON A SINGLE MOB OF SHITTY GOONS
Shurikens were easily the most useless and flavour-y weapon in the original one as well (on par with the fists... and katana, and sticky bombs - although the latter ones were good for blowing up the cracked walls, etc., without wasting any of the actually useful ammo), the only saving grace being decent ammo carrying capacity.shurikens that seem to be just for flavour
I played a bit into chapter four, about the time when the braindead dudes with machine guns that do no damage pop out and stand around shooting. At that point I decided to rage quit.
And okay you are right, smashing LMB with the sword is not as optimal as smashing WWLMB constantly. This game is a joke.

Yeah well, the enemy AI and sword combos in the original were so awesome it's hard to live up to that. Oh wait...
seriously though, you cannot play this game just running around with the sword mashing LMB.

Seriously though, you cannot play this game just running around with the sword mashing LMB. You're either playing on an easier setting or constantly running away to health spell spam. Later on that won't work as well, since more and more enemies have long-range attacks and larger demons start showing up who resurrect enemies and other shit.
