It's not a joke post. Yes, I'm sure if I tried that stupid mission again, I could beat it. My complaint wasn't that there's no way at all to beat it solo. The complaint is that it's obviously made for more than one person (and it's obviously not fucking fun to solo in a game that's made for co-op), yet there's no way to make a group outside of people you actually know. The game doesn't need to scale me to my friends' levels. It needs to let me make fucking groups with people my level. It has no way of doing that. No chat in the lobby feature. No matchmaking. Nothing. That's a joke, if anything is.
I was saving my super for the big dude and I was playing smart. It's still a dumb fucking mission, along with every mission so far. It's just sitting behind a goddamned pillar for a few seconds, popping out and shooting something a few times then finding another fucking pillar to wait until your guard goes up again so you can throw another few bullets into some shitty bullet sponge and wait for another wave.
That still leaves the problems with the loot. Again, you can say I'm at the beginning of the game, but this is when the game is really supposed to get its hooks in you. A loot game should be throwing loot at me. I should be looking at weapons and stuff every couple seconds, practically. This is when beginning items are still interesting! It shouldn't be until late game where I'm waiting hours to get something interesting. I didn't feel like there was hardly any loot back when I played 4-5 hours of Diablo III.
