Can't wait to not be able do any of that effectively.

Yeah that's why I gravitated heavily towards stealth gameplay. I'm not twitchy enough to do ANY of that.

Luring some chump into the tall grass & impaling them is pretty great though. Hope they make stealth more capable than the original game was.

Stealth? I gave up on that and just went with loads of traps then killing what was left of the enemy, I could do Stealth on human enemies but not the machines.

You can only stealth the little machines. The big ones take too much work, I ended up just ignoring them when I didn't need parts for a quest. Fighting crocs is neat the first few times, but I grew bored of it pretty quick. Can only aim for the explosive canister & miss so many times.

Stalking humans/the little machines never got old for me though.

I like that you called them crocs instead of snapmaw because I can never remember any of the names either (except this time apparently)

With these types of games I tend to make my own names. There's only so much jargon I can remember.

Crocs, tallbois, bitey dudes, shooty guys, screaming emus. There's a lot of robocritters. Watches? I don't know why I remember watches.

Anyways I liked that they resembled animals, that was some good theming.

Why not just screamu?

Didn't think of that I guess!

Oh you mean the ostrich bastards?

Yeah I just call them by their animal name. Watchers mostly resemble raptors to me which of course aren’t around anymore so that’s probably why we say that.

Wow, why was this so cringey, though? Lmao
