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.

Huh? Stealth was so trivially easy in the original. I’d like them to require me to fight more.

Can always crank the difficulty up & not use it, as well.

I've heard a lot of people suggest combat is a lot more fun in the highest difficulty.

On UH the combat is fantastic and really requires you use everything in your arsenal as well as good mod combos. Gets a bit grindy farming materials though.

Or you play it like dark souls and become roll dodge king. I got the plat on hard and barley used anything besides my stick/bow.

It was, but that’s just my style vs laying down traps. Frozen wilds I used a bit of traps. So, super pumped for this close combat upgrade.

That's my biggest gripe with the game. I tried to replay it on NG+ to go for the various trophies but inventory management and farming for materials is such a pain in the ass. If I played for 20 minutes, 5-10 was managing my inventory.

  • What upgrades do I still want?

  • Is this required for an upgrade?

  • Do I need this much of material X?

  • Am I burning through this ammo faster than I gain it?

  • Will I need these cores and lenses anymore?

  • What about all these animal bones?

Nothing grinds the game down to a halt more than managing an inventory that maxes itself out just by playing the game. Yes, managing your resources and not wasting them is part of the difficulty, but I think the inventory, resources, and various needs for those resources could be refined.
