Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion

Only play this game if you really, really like faster-paced mech games. Everything about this game, other than the gameplay itself, is stupendously bad. I've been gaming since the late 80's and this game has the worst story I've ever seen. It's actually so bad that it's a detriment to the game, and not in a fun or for the lulz way. A game with no story literally has a better story than what you'll find here. The voiced enemies are all pretty insufferable, but cue the sappy music and trembling, shaking hand as they reach for the MC's one last time before they die every time you down one. We're not exposed to them in any way that's supposed to form an attachment to them before they go down. Yet their dialogue and the music is trying to inspire some feeling of sadness or empathy, and... nope. They're not getting any, and it's insulting that the game seems to be legitimately trying to pull that out of us, especially considering how obnoxious they are and the atrocities they're constantly committing. The allies are maybe even worse. I don't know if this is universal for languages, but the English delivery for Ash in particular is wildly bad. Remember the SNL skit where Christopher Walken is asking for more cowbell? Replace cowbell with angsty angry anime voice, and that's Ash's delivered line, every time. The impact of his anger is lost when it's the only way he knows how to speak. [spoiler]Angel's betrayal... sure, in storytelling, there's this notion of foreshadowing. But it's not supposed to club you in the face immediately. The opening scene of the game is you escaping with the warning that the big bads are out to rob you of your personality. The very first mission with her has her go, "Don't you wish you could just lose yourself?" in a truly weird and inorganic way. And then there's the fact that she sends you on missions to support the enemy with some very thinly veiled excuse. I mean, come on.[/spoiler] The loot is awful. What you can buy in the shops has flat C's across the board, what you find more often than not has averages below that. You can't improve what you get other than through expansion slots, and most of those won't make up for badly rated attributes. The grind to have really good gear is just too long. Gameplay, though, feels fun and fair. The enemies that feel like sponges almost always have some weakness to exploit, so it encourages you to engage with that whole system, and it's pretty satisfying with high crit, high weakness exploit weapons like the hand cannons and daggers. If you don't do that against the sponges, just slap the sponge if that's your thing, it's still fun. The movement is fast and smooth enough to where it's enjoyable to melee. Sometimes it's weird if you're locked on, or not locked on, but just swap briefly when your preferred style isn't doing the job, and it's fine. The literal only enemy in the game that forced me into a playstyle was the one Coliseum dude who just runs and debuffs you the whole time. He was not fun to fight as melee. Other than that, I felt everything was clearable either way. I hope they do something to fix the loot, and I hope I'm never made to play the story ever again.

肝心なことだけ最初に。前作と違いロボゲーでは無い。カスタマイズ可能なパワードスーツを着たアクションゲーである。 とりあえずストーリークリアするところまではプレイしたが、全然面白くなくてそれ以上のやりこみは一切やる気が起きなかった。発売直後にフルプライスで購入したことに後悔しかない。 ストーリー自体もかなり薄味。ほぼ無いと思って良い。主人公と敵のボス連中になにか因縁があるのはわかるのだけれど、倒した後に回想でチョロッと語られるだけなので全く感情移入できない。 そして何よりエフェクトが地味、操作感が悪くて爽快感が無いのが致命的。 ミサイルのロックオンが前作と同様に手動でいちいち面倒くさい。 敵味方のミサイルが1ピクセルみたいなサイズで描画されてほとんど見えず、着弾エフェクトもちっさくて地味なので、被弾したのに気づかなかったりするレベル。 ライフルやマシンガン系の武器も豆鉄砲を撃ち合っているようにしか見えない。 そしてスタミナと燃料の2重で縛られるリソース。スタミナはともかく、大型の敵と戦うと空中戦を強いられるのにあっという間に燃料切れでまともに動けなくなって補給に戻らざるを得ず、ものすごくつまらない。 ハスクラ要素以前にアクションゲームとして面白くない。 なにか根本的にゲーム設計を間違えているんじゃ無いだろうか。

これはこれで悪くないゲームなんだけどね アーマード・コアっぽいのをやりたかった自分としては、次はもう買わないかな

Fun enough game. can't recommend due to pricing 70USD~ alongside with myriads of microtransaction is too much even more so that one of the things you can purchase is a feature that should've been in the vanilla game. you only have 1 grand entrance to work with and now you have to spend money to have more. insanity

They hijacked my mech game series and made it exosuits instead.

Someone at Marvelous saw the Anthem trailer and thought, "yea, we can do that" and then saw Anthem itself and thought, "oh, we can do that better than them." Is Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion a perfect game? No. But it is a competent one, and more competent than Bioware's attempt at an exosuit game, which is saying something.

I wanted to like this more but maaan... I liked the first Deamon X Machina enough and I was initially excited to pick this up and I did like it enough to finish the game but at the end of the day its really hard to recommend this game to someone. Everything about this game just feels passable, the combat is good enough, the story gets you from A to B, the visuals look like an enviroment. But if you asked me to tell me one memorable moment in this game, gun to my head, I couldn't name a single mission or boss fight. It kinda feels like someone said "Lets do anthem properly!!" and then made something that made anthem look signifigantly more fun by comparison (personally I liked anthem, I just didn't like the MMO junk attached to it). If anything, this game feels more MMO like due to the amount of farming you have to do as well as mostly randomised gear. Summary: Just wait for it to be on sale for like %80 off and don't expect much. I finished the main story in around 30 hours

80%オフに釣られて買ってしまった 操作性云々はそんなに気にならなかった ただ、圧倒的にワンパターンすぎるテンポに辟易 フルプラで買うのもセールで買うのもあまり胸を張っておすすめはし辛い 恐らく森林マップといわれるところまで来たが 敵が異常に硬くこっちの攻撃は豆鉄砲を撃ち続けている感覚 ハクスラ要素もとってつけた感があり、ザクザク掘って手に入れて更新というより 鈍重な戦闘をやってゴミをいっぱい拾う感じで何も楽しさが見いだせなかった レビューするために10時間はプレイしようと思ったけどかなりしんどい マルチ要素は触れていないので友達がいる人は楽しめるのかもしれない
