Transformers: Devastation |OT| Rising in Disguise

Got to love those Prime drops. I mean, I do have a pretty good setup for improving drop rarity, but getting a SS Hyper Thermal hammer and Heavy Machinegun at once feels so good.

Prime Time gets only more so :)
 
Beat it earlier today. I think I like this the least of Platinum's recent titles. The pure amount of backtracking and being in the same locations just killed any sort of buzz for me. Maybe I'm not the target audience for this but I didn't get a big kick out of playing the 'OG' Transfomers either. Music was good though.
 
It's weird, I'm sure that I'm overlooking something, but I can't level my character past 32 in any one category.

Surely that's not the ceiling?
 
Started Prime and got this in the first chapter.This weapon's stats are ridiculous

Completely eclipses what I used for most of Magnus
 
Based on all the weapons I see for the hardest difficulty, I'm betting that Platinum is inviting everyone to break the shit out of the game eventually.

Unless enemies on Prime difficulty can take a beating with some of those weapons.
 
Just finished my first play through. This was a really nice surprise. I wish there were more environments but I'm guessing this project didn't have the biggest of budgets. I wonder if Platinum will get to make a follow-up.

This brought back a lot of fond memories of my childhood. I just ordered a Masterpiece Soundwave. This was one expensive $50 game for me. haha
 
Can someone give me a rundown of how to effectively synthesize weapons and TECH?

Always try to get synth exp on the weapon first, this will save you credits and level the weapon up much faster. Once it is at max overwrite the synth exp with another perk you want instead.

From there just synthesis weapons with abilities that you want to use on the weapon, rank doesn't matter in overall damage output only in how much exp you will get towards the weapon.

TECH is really just random with what you get, you unlock better options when you beat the higher difficulties.

Worse than Korra or Anarchy Reigns? c'mon now

Wait..that's how the synth buff works? I thought you'd just have to have an item with the buffs equipped, not the skill on the weapon itself. Blah!

Dammit! I didn't get an SS Star Saber until I completed Prime last night, dammit. I was maining a hammer that has slightly less damage (My Star Saber is at 12K ish, though. I have most slots ATK +), but it's so much slower...

It was great getting all those new SS ranks during the first hour into Prime, though.

edit:You know? I think I'd love this game a lot more if you could sell your loot right at the Analyze screen (when you first get back to the Ark and it tells you what you've gotten).

They don't. It's kind of on the easy side with maxed out weapons, so if anyone wants more of a struggle it's best to handicap yourself a little since the only aspect that really changes is the damage enemies dish out and them (maybe) moving a little bit faster than on Magnus.
 
Okay how these no damage trophies work? Just beat ch7
Megatron
fight without taking any damage (result screen showed 0) and the trophy didn't pop. Can't use checkpoints?
 
the preorder pack (skins and weapons) is free for everyone on ue psn.

Thanks a lot for the heads up, guys. After the Amazon.es fiasco I described above (which apparently also affected other stores like GameStop), I wonder if this is simply a way for Activision Europe to simply solve it all at once, or actually part of the plan from the start.
 
I do wish that the game gave you the option of whether or not to use a revival item when you die. Sometimes I'll have one in my inventory, blow it against lesser enemies, and then have the game automatically use one. Noooooo.......

Those things are precious to me, hahaha
 
Well atleast I thought I did. Should it work even if you use checkpoints after getting hit?

I think so. I'm pretty sure I remember getting hit in some of the bossfights and just going to options and checkpoint to try again, and it worked when I was able to do it.

Couldn't get the Megatron one, SOON...

I'm playing on Xbone, but I doubt it's different on PS4

Same here man, I hate when I would lose those things in like...a casual fight. At least you get them pretty normally as drops in commander-up.

I guess I must have left it on warrior then. Damnit. Oh well I guess it doesn't hurt to get practice on lower settings.
 
blitzwing no-selling EVERYTHING on commander and above is incredible. The only thing I've seen him stuck by is proccing weapon effects and my sticky cannon.

If it weren't for the fact that he barely has any area moves I'd be inclined to call him the toughest bot to crack.
 
Just beat the game on Warrior. Took me 4 hours. It's definitely a short game, even shorter than MGR somehow, but I still had a lot of fun. Gonna go up in difficulty now and try to collect as many weapons as possible.

Oh, how do we choose costumes?

Edit: Also, Shockwave theme best theme. Glad that the best Transformer got what he deserves.

The worst thing about him is that ridiculously fast punch punch shoot combo he has. It feels like it hits almost instantly.
 
I really liked this song from the game (
music playing during the turret section on the moving platform
.)
Sorry I couldn't find a video with just the song, so it's a let's play video. It just sounded very "Transformers: The Movie" to me.

edit: damn sound effects...

Blitzwing just doesn't give a shit. Gotta keep those punches rolling out no matter what.

i think every theme is best theme.

This is the truth.
 
Does Tech stack? I've got two Techs with enhanced doge lv.4 and it'd be nice to know if those would create a massive dodge window when equipped together.

Oh God, I hope so. I have a drop rarity up +100, +90, and +80 on prime and It'd be nice to know if I'm wasting slots.

I guess I could find out with the Max HP up ones, I'll check...
Hopefully they work the same as the others like Enhanced Dodge and Focus Duration ups.

Yeah, the Max HP ones stack but that was kinda expected right? I wonder if there's a difference between those that say "up +x%" and the ones that just say level (like Focus Duration and Enhanced Dodge).

Good Lord, I wish there was an easier way to find stuff you're looking for like a filter or something...

T.E.C.H. usually stacks, but there are a couple of exception cases such as dodge if memory serves.

Wish there was an intuitive way to find this sort of information out across the board.

Seriously, I was marveling at this video earlier, only an S, but goddamn. Also, dude catches the tank shell--I had no idea you could that!
 
From what I've seen, weapon and TECH skills that give % bonuses stack but ones that give "Lvl" bonuses (AtkSpd+, Recoil-, Enhanced Radar, Enhanced Dodge, etc) don't.

Not sure if things stack above 100% though, might do some testing with loot runs once I'm finished Prime
 
Man, the nearly final battle with
devastator and menasor
is crushing me on commander. They just take so health off with their attacks.

Yeah I've been stuck on that fight for ages now on Commander. The spike in difficulty is crazy.

edit: I did it!!! Goodness knows how many attempts it took!
