The game is basically Grand Theft Auto set during the zombie apocalypse, the wanted meter is always maxed, and you play as a cross between the Hulk, Clayface, and (John Carpenter's) The Thing. Throwing big stuff to destroy other big stuff is like the second thing the tutorial teaches you. The only hangup I've had is apparently the only way to destroy water/fuel tanks is to jump on top of them first.
As you unlock more high level moves, you'll find other options that are more efficient. The jump kick, for instance, that zooms you across the screen, especially when amplified with musclemass. Also helicopters work well, as you don't even have to get close enough for them to blow.
Oh, and some of the moves seem a little more complicated to pull off than they should. The game tells you that gliding is right trigger + A when it's really right trigger + A twice. Why can't it just be hold down A? Why does stealth absorbs have to hold down right shoulder first? So many moves that could have cut the number of button presses in half.
The gliding one might make more sense once you unlock more dashing/double dashing with increased jump height. At that point you'll be chaining jumps and dashes and glides in rapid succession, and you'll see why a double tap works well instead of a hold (like you'll want to dash, glide, then dash, glide again most of the time). IMO.
I don't see holding down the right shoulder and then tapping b as a big deal in terms of doing the stealth absorb. It will make more sense (maybe) once you have the other abilities on the wheel or at least make more use of them. I felt that everything they had on the main face buttons was combat essential, and since that's the focus of the game I'm ok with them prioritizing that over everything that got pushed to the second tier of commands. I would have liked Godhand programmable combos, especially if they involved developing stuff across bio weapon styles, but I think that was clearly beyond them since only one game ever has gotten that right. |
