Absolutely wild people are dogging the game based on CLEARLY poor gameplay by IGN. Like really? And the fight seemed to go longer than it needed because they CLEARLY missed their first chance to kill the boss somehow around two minutes in - dicking around or just generally not knowing what to do.
I am getting the game despite having reservations, but folks need to be consistent with how they're judging things. Like IGN can't NOW be this great gaming site that covers games the way they are meant to now that they've put out a video that makes a game you're not looking forward to look bad.
. . .and honestly, despite IGN's absolute lack of engagement with any of the games systems (you'll note the boss ALSO adheres to awareness rules as normal NPC's. . .which they don't use at all), this looked like wonderful chaos to me.
Every trailer makes this look shit, the lack of impact is just terrible. I understand its a boss fight, but it's just so... boring... run around house and farm and shoot entire mags into the boss for zero reaction and he just teleports away.
Guns may not be instagibbing people in this but all the previews said they were weighty; judging this based on a boss fight and not the other media put out is silly.
What are those disc like items he is throwing around?
Also why such poor use of his abilities. Can easily get rook to stay in area of effect.
That is the characters teleport. . .that IGN apparently has no interest in using for either repositioning or co-op partner assistance.
