The combat is as good as SH3, which is to say it's still pretty boring, but at least it's not laughably easy.
SH3 was easy? I thought 1 & 2 were laughable on anything but hard, but then hard mode in 3 ment you couldn't spare health or ammo fighting a single random enemy, which I always ran away from. I also killed three of the bosses just melee weapons and I was STILL running out of ammo and health often.
Meh? That's also what I'm saying.
Although I now dread using algebraic expressions on Caltrops, I'll give it a try here to clarify what I meant:
combat_sh4 = combat_sh3
combat_sh4 = not_laughably_easy
Thanks to the transitive property of equality, we now know that I think combat_sh3 = not_laughably_easy. In fact, I quickly gave up on playing on the extra difficulty settings, because it transforms from a survival horror title into a stealth game where you simply can't afford to attract attention until after you've snuck by an enemy. Even dogs can almost immediately kill you with one attack, and everything moves damn fast.
I actually thought SH1 got fairly tough on the harder stages as well. For some reason my timing sucked with melee weapons, so the dogs were incredibly tough for me to deal with in the beginning stages. I spent a lot of time running away from things in that game, at least until I had stockpiled a decent amount of ammo.
And of course SH2 was the easiest game ever. In fact, that's why I brought up the combat at all - I was merely trying to reassure you that even if you hate everything else about SH4, at least the combat hasn't taken a huge step backwards the way SH2's did. |
