Yeah getting knocked down all the time is a real pain, I've just done the level three end boss and it was causing me a lot of grief! The laser weapon was so powerful against my VS.

I'm only up to mission 5 and I'm already sick to death of being either knocked over or staggering around getting my balance. There's so many instances of when you have no control over the character and it makes it all the more frustrating when your hit over and over during these periods. The game is peppered with bad design decisions, its no way the triple A title it was hyped up to be. Saying that I am enjoying it for the most part, the Gun Valkyrie comparison is spot on, a flawed gem.

to get the online acheivments do u need to use ranked games? and how do u get the giant moth one,?

[eastyy]

Yes i agree with the getting knocked around thing that is very frustrating

that mech boss petej mentioned i was cursing alot particulary when i got into the mech and the very second i gained control the enemy mech knocked a load of energy of before i could react

MonkeyWrench, same here. Level 3 was so ****ing irritating. Sometimes there is too much going on that you can't see what you're doing, which would be fine if your opponents had the same problem; but they don't. They just keep shooting through all the explosions and snow.

I LOVED this game up til mission 3. But to be honest, so far it has gone downhill from the first mission. The first mission was superb, the second pretty good, the third visually wonderous but gameplay wise poor. The fourth, already annoyed with it and ended up quitting and going to single player.

I think I'm going to have to restart the game on easy which I rather resent. But since the human AI decides it's going to rocket you to death, every time you stand up another one coming at you...I may have no choice.

I still can't make up my mind, it's great but ****e in equal measures...I'll need to finish the game to make a final decision I think.

Out of interest, what difficulty level ARE people playing this on?

Presumably you have to kill it on route to the boss of that level? Looks insanely hard, but the weak spots are obvious, and upon one of the many tries of getting past it I managed to at least get some damage before dying.

[yesteryeargames]

so if u kill one of these big mofos then go on and gert killed a the boss, do you have to restard the entire mission? or can u do a checkpoint after?

[Jebus]

Not sure, the checkpoint "system" is fuzzy at best. I thought whenever you put a data point up then that was a checkpoint but according to mission three, that isn't so.

When you die on that boss though, you restart the boss, so hopefully it'd save everything beforehand? Might be worth trying on easy mode?

Why is it the Manual makes more sense than the actual game?

[Crisp_Rapper]

this game is just flat out horrible... from the super clunky controls, to the amazingly infuriating knocked down 'oh i can't get up again' gameplay and the seemingly random story with huge chunks missing from it.

just got my worm hunter achievement, the mech boss was a tad irritating but love the general feel and look of the game so far

[Dezm0nd]

How do I download the bonus map from the marketplace, I have the LE version with my code but I can't seem to find it.

[Destrukticor]

go into the marketplace and then go to redeem code

pop your code in and away you go

[Dezm0nd]

On Normal, although the M5 boss is getting on my ****ing nerves now.

I've only got a small amount of T-Gen going into the fight, so gave up and restarted the level again. :/

, my god what a load of ****. If you end up getting caught between its legs it just ****ing drags you around until you die. Can't believe how **** this game has turned out compared to the length of time this was in development, its mind boggling. **** knows what they were doing. No wonder it got a post christmas release, it wouldn't have stood a chance against all the quality stuff that was released at the tail end of last year.
