You were more patient than me. I lasted about an hour of it. I just don't think FPS gameplay and RPG stats gel at all well. Can't stand Destiny for the exact same reason.
Call me a traditionalist, but I expect enemies that take bullets to the face to do the decent thing and drop down dead, rather than just take very slightly more damage.
for my own gaming purposes i would agree, but i have seen my son do some very interesting stuff with borderlands 2 and payday 2 builds.
Borderlands is great because you can just break the math. Like these skills and this perk and this gun synergize in such a way that any enemy explodes if you look at them sideways.
I enjoyed Fallout 3. But I agree with the general point. RPG/FPS' rarely gel.
Fallout 3 isn't a FPS. It's got turn-based combat because of VATS, and that's what makes it good.
So true. Although I didn't always use VATS, sometimes I enjoyed the options.
That's why Shadow Warrior 2 was so disappointing after the first reboot. Reboot was an updated fps thay even managed to make the sword melee relevant through the whole game. 2nd one was a bullet spongy mess
