Perhaps someone can explain this game to me because i think it is overated as fuckI have 20 hours in it as of now, have beat it a couple of times and feel i have seen all there is to it.There is nothing challenging about it once you learn the basic systems.Every weapon is mechanically the same. The core gameplay for every classic is pretty much the sameI've tried playing the jester supposedly the hardest class but the core gameplay is the same and the game becomes trivial once you get past the swamp anyways.Why is it ao praised everywhere? The reviews on steam are good and people suck it off here to.Runs have no variance to them lol.
>>732678861Games with coop focus always get massively overpraised and good reviews even if the core game sucks. Doing literally anything with your friends is fun. Standing in an empty room is fun with friends. Watching someone throw rocks at a puddle is fun with friends. Anyway Barony is garbage, you got rused.
>>732678861you already posted this
maybe you'd be correct about no variance before the magic/class reworks, but since then there's a decent amount of variance even between the base classes.different monsters have different resistances to weapon types.if your claim that there's no variance is because you attack enemies until theyre dead, then i dont know what to tell you about 95% of vidya.
>>732678945People praise it withholding mentioning they primarily play it with friends on steam but perhaps you are right.You are saying any game on steam regardless of how trash it is will get review boosted if it has coop?
>>732679104There's not much variance in the levels is what I meant.Classes with shields for example; they all will pretty much play the same and tackle enemies the same way. The changes from a lot of classes are minute and dont confer a broadly different playstyle
>>732679115yes but only if it's a friendslop game where you're supposed to play coop with your friends. Games where you play in matchmaking with randos doesn't get the boost
>>732678861>There is nothing challenging about it once you learn the basic systems.Please tell me how.I have the opposite problem.>Wanna play melee.>The only way to avoid damage is blocking every attack>Healing is extremely limited so you have to block>Shields have very limited durability and keep breaking>If you mess up one block you are basically dead.
I played with a friend and only managed to beat it oncemid game we were already beasts but last boss pushed our shits inI was playing as an engineer or whatever class that uses turretsHe died and I kited the final boss
Really fricken love this game bros. Only got it a few weeks ago but at 70 hours already. I have over 1k hours in both deep rock galactic and vermintide 2 and this is looking like my next 1k hour game
>>732680431Charge a heavy at a distance, hit from maximum range immediately walk away rinse and repeat. Its something you learn during the first 10 mins of the game.
>>732680848Wtf? As a tide 2 enjoyed how the fuck do you like it? Tide 2 is challenging with depth, this game is a joke.
>>732680898not gonna lie you sound mad so I have nothing to tell you. Same thing in every vermintide 2 thread there's always some anon claiming the game is easy as fuck on cataclysm and that every class plays the same and you're just spamming click over and over again. Every thread of every game has posts like this I'm not going to justify the whole game in a 4chan post.
>>732680848i wish there were more games like barony.
Playing melee with a shield vs playing melee without a shield is an entirely different game, and now the 3 magic schools means any spell caster class plays completely different depending on the school. Finding a tinkering kit early can completely change the run too, try doing a tinker run where you're playing with teleporter traps and sentries for a hugely different run. You can make your gyrocopter place a teleporter trap on a location you can't reach, get your gyrocopter to set it as the teleporter exit, then throw a second teleporter trap down and step on it to teleport to the inaccessible area. Or fill a room with sentries and put the teleporter exit in the middle abd then teleporter enemies into the kill room during battle. Just some examples of run variance off the top of my head.
>>732680431Blocking is kind of an illusion in this game. When you hold up your shield, all that happens is your armour value goes up. There's no game mechanic where you like block an attack and it gets nullified or something, all that happens is hour AC value is higher while holding the block button. That means mid-late game if you can just stack a huge amount of AC with Divine Fortress(thaumaturgy spell) or something you'll take so little damage from physical attacks that blocking isn't even necessarily, and that's assuming you're face tanking everything. You can also play a melee class by being fast and just not getting hit. Your melee range is longer than the AIs so you can keep hitting them without being hit back if you keep your distance perfectly, and the AI is EXTREMELY forgiving around corners, the monsters will generously fully clear the corner at a right angle before they attack, so you can get like 4-5 free hits as a monster turns a corner. Get good at this and you can win melee fights without getting hit
>>732678861Why have you made this same thread 3 times? You really want to talk about it that much?
>>732681189Once you cover those limited sparse playstyles you've done everything though
>>732682150That was 6 play styles named in that post. Didn't even mention stealth gameplay or ranged gameplay which brings it to 8>you can only name 8 different playstyles off the top of your head in this high skill ceiling permadeath game!ok
>>732682274Lmfao how does the game have a high skill ceiling?Once you get to the sand area your runs already set in motion and its just a slog thanOnce you know how the ai plays and have some knowledge no variables will challenge you anymore
>>732678997>>732681840what is the name of this mental illness?why does /v/ keep writing fan fiction?
>>732678861I haven't played it much but I like it because it's open source
>>732682384This is all talk. It's extremely easy to type "the game is easy" in a post about a permadeath game when you don't have to back it up in anyway.
>>732682514Just cause its hard for you does not make it hard for me.
>>732682598sure thing anon. I also win every run every single time and no I will not prove it.
>>732680431>Shields have very limited durability and keep breakingThis hasn't been the case for a long time, I recently cleared a run with a class that starts at 10 blocking and didn't break a single shield between upgradesLimited healing is true, guess the fact finding the healing spell isn't as simple anymore puts a dent on it (you will probably find the shitty ass prayer that regenerates like 5 HP and won't be able to learn proper healing unless you focus on thaumaturgy)Missing a block getting you killed, I mean, if you play a class that isn't really meant to block. You'll need good CON to facetank anything, otherwise you should guerrilla
>>732678945yep, currently im seeing yapyap get pushed pretty hard, expect to see it on /v/ soon>friendslop game>muh nostalgiabait gfx>hey member harry potter>trailer (the only one, mind you) is literally just a friendslop game with forced humour moments instead of showing the game itself or the mechanics, not even trying to hide its merely a vessel for friend-created fun
>>732683446>Niggerslop post>muh hecking tranalistic graphics>Hey member poopdicknigger>trailer (the one you live in, mind you) is full of shit, trash, goyslop and infested rotten maggots
>>732683728hello yapyap dev, how goes your launch... oh, OH NO
>>732682421I don't know what it's called but it's the one that causes you to make the same thread every day.https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/image/JN7DKKrQ33mn_QQa27ahOQ/
>>732678861>g challenging about it once yobarony is great, way better than borimintide 2
