Shadow Warrior 2 demo playthrough.

[Neurotic Void Melody]

Have just found the next Doom-esque hyper violent FPS to be legitimately excited about...


It is a let's play with commentry, but apparently these are less obnoxious i hear, and hopefully this is something people want to see. So far It's impressive, compared to the first game. That chainsaw though...am gonna take a break for a while, hopes this is suitably informative meanwhile.

Looks good hope the enemies won't be bullet sponges like in the last one

Bullet Sponge? Pfft. I spent most of the first using the Katana and demon powers.

It looks like guns pack quite a punch this time around. Especially that shotgun. I loved the first game anyway so it doesn't matter to me.

This game looks neat to me because it is kind of like a diablo copy with it's random levels and weapons. The odd thing I am worried about is how the weapon wheel lets you put any weapon into any slot. I think that will actually result in a lot of pain trying to pick your load-out.

I've skimmed through the video and.... I'm not amused. Shadow Warrior was a fun tight action game. This looks like some padded Diablorderlands skinner box shit. With fucking fetch quests. Over 70 lethal blades and explosive firearms? More like over 70 iterations of the same 5 fucking things.

It has.... co-op I suppose. That's the only thing I'm remotely positive about.

Nah, not feeling it.

The whittling away at health bars and numbers being vomited everywhere reminds me nauseatingly of Borderlands, which is just about the worst thing any shooter wants to remind me of.

Plus the limp animations kill any interest in the melee combat. It's ye olde wave-your-weapon-in-front-of-the-enemy-and-watch-them-lose-some-health-and-maybe-make-a-disconnected-flinch-movement.

Yeah, it looks almost as good as Quantum Break.

Not keen on the damage numbers and a new loot system. The first game was great because it was so tightly focused on the katana/gun play above all else. I remember the devs described this game as trying to make you feel like a bad ass anime ninja or something. That sounds cool, but I don't want to do that in Borderlands.

 

[Frankster]

I was initially coming in to just say "loved shadow warrior 1, this is a day 1 purchase for me" but reading people's comments about how its borderlands like has shaken my faith.

Eugh..Another sequel I was looking forward to apparently being a big let down, wonderful.

I've gone over this video again and I'm not really seeing the borderlands comparison at all. Never liked borderlands even through trying, so it would be something that would turn me off. But am not seeing it here. If it's just the addition of numbers showing your damage, that is a bit of a skip for a comparison. It just looks like Shadow Warrior expanded to a logical degree.
To be more precise, this looks a lot more like what Darksiders 2 was to Darksiders 1.

It looks more like a diablo take on shadow warrior then a borderlands game. The weapons are random, but not in the same way BL handles their weapons. It looks more like diablo where you have this base weapon and then it can have enchantments placed on it. (SW2 also has that upgrade system.) BL gets more deep into it's weapons with a lot of knobs they randomize.

Also SW2 gets semi random levels. BL doesn't have that. It doesn't even really have levels. That will be a huge difference well playing.
