This, and playing the beta with my friends is the best co-op experience I've had since RE5.

Some people. People are allowed to have different likes/dislikes. What happens if you don't like the idea of an RPG in a shooter?

It's a fairly generic/standard shooter with some RPG elements. It's Borderlands with slightly better shooting mechanics but much less satisfying and fun RPG features, and even then it's not like the bar is set particularly high.

The game isn't bad at all, it's objectively well-made, but so much potential is wasted I just can't muster up any excitement at all. The fact that every class' starting ability is literally just a slightly different grenade is most damning. Playing a Warlock didn't feel like playing what the class could have, no, should have been. It was just a standard Halo-esque shooter with the occasional superpower I could use after the cooldown is done.

The entire game is largely by the numbers and is so safe and unwilling to deviate from the norm into something unique that I just don't care.

Is there a cooldown period for melee attacks?
When i look it up i only find the differences in melee between classes.

If there is that's idiotic

NemeBro Senior Member

No there's not, but the melee attacks themselves are just standard Call of Duty/Halo-esque "Do a single slow attack".

0mega Spawn TheWarmestSun

Ohk?

NemeBro Senior Member

That's pretty shitty, is what I'm saying.

0mega Spawn TheWarmestSun

Ohk is one hit kill sorry

NemeBro Senior Member

No, it isn't a one-hit kill against everything, but that's because an unsettling amount of enemies are bullet-sponges. Especially bosses.

0mega Spawn TheWarmestSun

Thanks.

What should the Warlock have been?

Also the Melee special abilities do have cooldowns but you can melee anytime you want.

Maybe a class that actually heavily focuses on the use of "magic"? The gliding was pretty fun, but the long cooldowns of your actual "spells" (One of which is just a tricked out grenade of course) brings it down to standard shooter fare.
