Oh shit! Downloading this weekend for sure.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Thx for the thread. Going to give the demo a try later this week.

So, if I buy it .

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

You have to take care of that dentition, Count Dooku.

 

[BlackTron]

Thanks I'm grabbing the demo. If this sells well being on a real cart, all the publishers will just roll their eyes at us again.

 

[JORMBO]

I know a lot of people are hyping this up because it is not a keycard. After playing the demo I found it to be incredibly mediocre though. I canceled my preorder.

 

[Same ol G]

Still haven't tried the demo, gow doesnit hold up compared to the first game, i did ilke that one, is this faster paced or did it just look so in the trailer..

 

[Kataploom]

I got the first one on Steam and didn't like it, was too easy and boring, and I'm not a difficulty junky at all. Also they wouldn't shut the fuck up on missions, I really hate it when characters talk non-stop while I'm fighting.

Gonna try the demo tho, it looks different from the first one...

The first one was annoying, got to the final part and it was simply impossible without specific upgrades. Gave up.

That looks rough to be honest

 

[kazuyamishima]

That looks rough to be honest

It's 30fps with some dips

 

[Signalis]

It's 30fps with some dips

That's why I'm saying it look rough

 

[Punished Miku]

Much worse than I was expecting. Rough.

Really? I thought it was boringly easy, like too much and I'm not even a difficult freak, I reached missions level B or so I don't remember

Switch 2 performance?

 

[Fbh]

Played some of the demo yesterday.
Overall I found it quite dissappointing. The intro basically plays like a crappy and uglier Armored Core.
Once you get to the more open area I do see some potential, there's the promise there of an open world, single player Anthem style game. But the combat continued feeling janky and it insists on bombarding you with generic anime story and dialogue (the facil animations are hilariously bad too).

I could see this potentially being more fun once you unlock more weapons and skills, the sort of 6 or 7 out of 10 game that still manages to be enjoyable by offerting a type of game the AAA industry isn't delivering.

But based on the demo it's a "wait for a deep sale and/or PS+" game.

[HerpDerpstreit]

keycard?

The amazon listing in the US states that it has the "Full ROM on Game Card" -LINK

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Excellent and let it be so, because I see that it is Keycard, I do not buy it.

 

[Audible Silence]

my friends and I played this for about 3 hours together. the weapons seem pretty varied, and then some suits have extra abilities, then on top of that there were character abilities... i only got 1, which was like a cyclops beam coming out of my eye.
We found a giant mechanical spider to fight, took us quite awhile with multiple deaths.
decent enemy variety, found random convoys of enemies traveling in vehicles, theres some mini dungeons/bases to attack.
It certainly reminded me of an anthem crossed with outriders.

I think this game falls into the "i have nothing else to play at the moment so this will hold me over" catagory. it's either this or borderlands 4, and while Borderland might be the "better" game, i've already played 3 of them, DxM is certainly more unique.

Switch 2 performance?

 

[Deerock71]

keycard?

It's the full game on the card in the US, and therefore an essential purchase.

 

[Aion002]

I just tried the demo and it made me reminsce when I was a kid playing random mecha japanese games on ps2. While most were quite bad, I still enjoyed them a lot since I love this type of game.

But I don't think I would enjoy this game even back then.

The animations don't convey the feeling of being in a robot.

[tkscz]

So far it just looks like 60fps vs 30fps is the big difference. But the Switch 2's didn't seem as low as 30 in that video. Maybe I'm just tripping but it felt higher than 30 but lower than 60.

Yeah seems like it. Disappointing. My "nothing else to play" game is DDON and I'm afraid I find the combat in DxM rather lacking.

 

[Stafford]

Really reminds me of Zone of the Enders but with more possibilities. Loving the combat. Just had a boss fight where you can weaken the enemy by aiming at his armor parts, ripping them off and then blasting or slashing at their flesh.

Looks good, plays great at 60fps, has a interesting enough story by the looks of it, cool characters and even co-op! Awesome to have this franchise on Xbox now too.
