It's not even a real mech game, it's just an incredibly slow and clunky shooter. The 30 fps cap certainly doesn't help. Mouse sensitivity apppears to be bugged, since rotating the camera is still painfully slow even when raising it as high as possible. Or maybe it's supposed to be like that? Switching weapons is clunky.
Hit reactions are laughably bad. Firing your rocket launcher at a group of enemies feels about as impactful as a wet fart. Enemies spawn out of thin air and when killed, their bodies similarly vanish into thin air instantly.
Some might say it has aged badly, but I don't think that's accurate. This game came out in december 2004. Pretty much all my favorite shooters had already been released by that point, barring one or two exceptions (e.g. F.E.A.R. in 2005).
And for what is a game about the president fighting in a mech suit, the dialogue and voice acting feels weirdly lifeless and completely unfunny.

>Switching weapons is clunky. I agree, but you get used to it. Then you end up using rockets and reload cancelling to beat Hell difficulty, because you have no idea where you went wrong in your life.

It has no explosion, the grenade launcher is meant for groups. rockets are single target, don't ask me why. it's just how the game has it.
>the dialogue and voice acting feels weirdly lifeless and completely unfunny. ironically it would've been even worse, cause the president was supposed to be "calm and collected" and the voice actor who also voices Puma from Gitaroo man, didn't follow directions.
I think the game itself is fine, it's an easy action game built on "this is how Japanese see Americans". I wish the audio issues were fixed, not sure how you end up losing sound effects in your cutscenes.
I'm genuinely curious just what the fuck they did for over a year. Shit like the fucked mouse sensitivity and bugged audio during cutscenes is something that should've been noticed during playtesting. Apparently they had to redo the lighting from the ground up and the whole thing is a giant Frankenstein-esque monstrosity under the hood.

That is what killed the game for me.

The games pretty fun, any setbacks from being a port from the xbox are easy enough to overlook, just use a controller, almost like the game was designed for

Maybe they'll update it to fix the audio. Bazookas seem to do more damage than rocket launchers though, should I use bazookas for destroying structures? And are railguns and multi-missile launchers good? The first one of both sections seem either under powered or take too long to charge between decent shots

>people keep shitting on the game >tfw I'm fucking loving the game
same, the game isn't all that difficult even. I don't understand people complaining about the lack of checkpoints or running out of ammo. I almost want to think it's a piracy protection thing where everything's tougher

The patch *should* come out today for PS4 to fix the audio, but there's nothing about the missing sound effects in cutscenes in the patch notes. i thought he meant bazooka when i said rocket launcher. Railguns are only good for quick boss killing, chances are if you're playing on hell difficulty it's >4 machinegun >2 bazooka >wildcard/fun slot
People don't break enough things to find all the ammo everywhere. They aren't even playing on the hard difficulty cause you have to beat the game to get it. I can't wait till some people say "it's as hard as From Soft's Dark Souls Franchise"
