Awesome coop game though! To bad there aren't anymore than 3 player models to choose from.

And its a bit awkward that there are 2 male and only 1 female option...

Just a heads up: mods with the downside of reducing clip size will not reduce below 1, so they pair really nicely with bows.

also, roughly how long is the game if someone does every side mission? i've just been knocking out the ones that pop up while the 'check kamiko's apartment' story mission sits there in the meanwhile.

The game is apparently pretty short. People report all side quests at 8-15 hours depending on difficulty, pacing, and skill.

Maybe my perception of game length is warped with all these open world games the past few years. Doom was 12ish hours? Did people think that was short?

I think that 8-15 is just about the right length for these type of action games. DOOM lasted the perfect length. Any longer and the action starts to wear thin.

Yeah it sounds like it's about the typical length of any other linear shooter campaign. Definitely gonna convince my friends to buy this and play through it again cooperatively.

The lovely part is they didn't bother to mention that detail upfront until right after the instructions on how to punch in the DLC key into Steam.

This link doesn't work anymore? steam://install/522332

If it does then there's two more DLC's
Quakecon: steam://install/522330
PAX West: steam://install/508970
Not sure what PAX West DLC actually gives, didn't notice anything

E: these links register the DLC to your account. At least they did yesterday, they could've changed it.

Makes me wish that I actually went with the Deluxe preorder on steam instead of the standard one.

The music is drat good and Stan Bush dedicating a new song to this game is just the cherry on top.

Is there a way to change the FOV on your arms? Some of the guns are so huge they take up an entire third of the screen and it's pretty annoying. :geno:

Non-descript objects or actors that you can interact with. Have no idea what the Wang Cave desk one does.

The preorder dlc is just a single melee weapon and currently, no.

That's more or less my impression.

The menus really need to be rethought though. Also I am wondering why there is a weapon wheel when I will only ever use the two quick switch buttons in combat, and you can equip weapons from your inventory any time.

I'm playing with a controller and I think the menus are dumb and the weapon wheel is pointless.

Oh, All-Knowing One, behold me!
I have no idea how you'd think the menus are useful for playing with controllers, anyways. The weapon wheel is there mostly as a holdover from the previous game, but the inventory/shop stores are just a little too barebones as it stands.

Holy poo poo, I just switched from a shotgun to little wang, while some demon was jumping at me, and the switching sword animation apparently counts as an attack and slaughtered that fucker.

Well, I beat the game. Total playtime of 9 hours, did all the side missions. I was kind of rushing it at the end because I was getting a bit worn out on the constant super fast combat. The ending was... not great. Really the story in general sucked, and the humor did carry it most of the way through but it felt real strained.

I really enjoyed it, I found the game very fun. The one complaint I do have is that it's pretty easy, I regret playing on the normal difficulty and I think people playing for the first time should probably do so on the hard difficulty. The hardest one looks like it just turns enemies into spongy monsters and Wang into a paper bag containing some blood, so I don't really want to do that. Looking forward to playing through it again but with swords instead of guns.

Yep, it's nowhere near as nice as the quick melee was in the first game but it's still pretty badass. I like hitting an enemy with a charged shotgun blast, dashing chi blast for the Mighty Boot, then quick swapping to melee while they're on the ground. Rip and tear :unsmigghh:

Also these things are a shitload of fun:



The force attack (alt fire + backwards) fires out this:



Which seems to linger in place and spin for a while. I put toxic on them and they do a pretty drat good amount of damage :haw:

Yeah I had something similar with a hellhound. Except the only thing left was a single foreleg. I just took my shotgun and exploded it after several attempts of cutting/shooting it. Did the job.
