Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion

这年头还有锁定射击不带自动预瞄的机甲游戏啊。。。。。。

all currencies in usd it's a blast, but this is not a $70 game. i purchased it at 30% off ($49) which i thought was a lot more agreeable. the customization options are solid, the guns feel good, the story is campy and tries to take itself very seriously but, much like the first game, it takes a very long time to meander to something resembling a point and has some of the funniest voice acting (English, unsure about JP) i've heard in any game i've played in the past 5 years. a lot of the weapons are really reasonably good, but most of them have expiration dates on how long you can use them for before you're made to switch off of them (for something that handles almost exactly the same); which i think is a good thing, as it encourages you to try new things rather than saying "this is my pet weapon and i will use it forever". you can use your pet weapon forever, it just will not remain as effective. this game is not daemon x machina 1. this is a powered armor game, and not a mecha game. your powered armor handles like a mech, and not like powered armor. i do not know why they decided this was the move to make but they sure did make it. but i do have some gripes that i think might turn some people off: -the camera is your archnemesis and will cause you to take more damage than you think you should be. there is nothing you can do about this. -all of the vehicles feel like the center of gravity is above the actual vehicle, and small bumps, clipping objects, etc. will send you to Liuzhou, China -your turning radius is limited extremely dramatically when using boosts of any description, and you will have to stop or use emergency dashes to make turns sharper than 30 degrees. occasionally if you do try to make that turn anyway, you will do a comically slow 180 degree pivot animation, and run back the way you came. -all of the gear drops have RNG stats and there's nothing you can do to mitigate this. for me this is fun, for some people this will make you want to explode. overall, this game really feels a lot more "complete" than DxM1, it's got some quirks that make me want to throw a tantrum in a wal-mart toy aisle, but it's got all the same hallmarks that made DxM1 fun for me personally, and i can happily recommend it.

Ive been wanting this and got put off by reviews. Thankfully, after waiting, found a cdkey for 8$ and I can proudly say this game if peak. The story is serviceable and fun, but the gameplay is stellar and it runs like butter. Never got the dlc but Id still be willing to play it regardless of the reviews because of how much fun i had.

AT A BIG SUPER DISCOUNT ONLY. Decent game, obviously rushed at the end, terrible narrative PACING, narrative stakes and moments placed in such awkward moments, it ruins the emotions on both ends. Gameplay does still carry the spirit of DXM1, the mix max, the builds, while having less things than the first game, it still can pull its weight in gameplay. A lot of returning parts and if you played DXM1, you get familiar real quick. Enemies too will feel familiar, like if you play Monster Hunter Worlds and you went to play Monster Hunter Stories. Streamlined a lot of things, the movement is improved, better camera work, the animations are amazing, so many details put that people would probably miss (like a reverse jump and side jump animation), had fun building loadouts, weapon styles, min maxing. HOWEVER, that's where the praise stops. Everything else, is passable at best. It's like acing your finals but you barely passed all your assignments. Narrative is odd and tons of bad pacing; certain characters play TOO much into their archetype and everytime you see them you know what's going to happen, (there is a character that will scream 80% of the time, and it's always the same thing: WHAT THE HEL MAN); villains and story moments and fights are repetitive. Example of Narrative Debacle: Big war coming up, cool monologue, LETS GO: starts some anti climactic subway surfer, temple run mini game, emotion from high drops to nothing; continues to fight, finish segment, the good guys can tell their allies to run instead of die, but "because we're on a mission, let's just do nothing and go ahead"; i dont remember when but somewhere in between everything i said previously, they added a scene where a companion breaksdown, when you're in the mood to fight, you wont like it when a game suddenly wants to give you some plot twist. Terrible timing, terrible pacing. Example 2: Sudden lore drop from all the enemies you fight, there is a fight where you don't engage with the boss directly and fight their minion instead, but after winning against the minion, the cutscene plays where the boss is hurt and they are dying. Doesn't make a lick of sense. Every boss after this is a lore drop and each one had so much more context needed, so i gather that they ran out of development time and just chucked it into the oven. Which leads me to the next example. Example 3: We're in high tech exosuits, (somehow a little kid can pilot a full sized adult suit btw) and we take hits from bullets and lasers and in one of the cutscenes, YOUR BOY PULLS OUT A GLOCK TO FINISH OFF THE BOSS. Where in the world does a glock exist in this universe? idk. There is no animation, your character holds it, the scene cuts to the back of your character, hiding the gun, muzzle flash, boss is ended. P.S. My friends and I had a blast laughing and all of this, it's terrible, fun still to play but all of this feels like a fever dream or a joke. I'm the only big mecha fan of our group, and if this, not even by a long shot, stands anywhere close to Armoured Core 6. Honestly, if the gameplay and the feel of the Arsenal exosuits weren't super good, it would have been a thumbs down, it barely passes my marking score as a yes. Like another game i felt that drop the ball: Outriders, i will recommend it to everyone, but at a heavy discount and with a fistful of salt. You have been warned.

Excellent gameplay, solid 50-60 FPS on Steamdeck LCD, fantastic soundtrack too. The gameplay alone is strong. The story is the weakest part of this game, specifically the lack of character animations while the voice actors are making an emotional speech. I bought this game on a fire sale and avoided playing it because they removed the large mecha from the first game, which betrayed my trust. Please bring back the full sized mechs in DXM 3. In summary: This is a bad Armored Core competitor, but a good Monster Hunter competitor.

佃健一郎，放弃你旧系装甲核心制作人的身份，从头练起吧。 一代的缺点被无限放大，同时这东西本质上只是挂着ac皮的jrpg 更多的我已经无力吐槽，就像他那神奇的战斗手感和像是在开纸盒一样的开车手感。

This is peak friendslop actually. Only consider if stat chasing is near the bottom of your group's priorities, and if you enjoy their presence in general. This game scarcely takes away from that and occasionally even enhances it, but I can easily see that it's capable of putting you through torment while alone. So only worth the 80% off price as an group impulse buy, since it's still around double or more the price of the "Shoot the ♥♥♥♥ with friends" category of games.

I really enjoyed it The combat is fast and fun, and I liked being able to customize my mech with different weapons and parts. The missions kept me entertained, and the boss fights were exciting. The story wasn't amazing, but the gameplay made up for it. If you like mechs and action games, it's definitely worth playing.

剧情有张力，操作也舒服，虽然有时候闪避后退。
