Hmmm, this is tempting, as someone who is interested in the sequel but never played the first.Damn, the first game is on sale on PSN for $14

To anyone who has played, what kind of time investment is it? Can I run through it in 8 hours or so to get the story and an idea of what kind of game it is?

Its great, i finished the campaign around 11h , and they patched the game for ps5 and xbox to get 60fps

It is a challenging third person shooter with elements similar to Diablo and Dark Souls. The game is designed to be replayable so in one run you won't experience all the content the game has to offer.
I don't think you should play it for the story.

Yeah, this is correct. The story is completely forgettable. Some of the characters are decent, but overall I can't remember what the story was about.

I've owned the first for a while but never really got into it. Recently started a co-op run with a friend to get the story and prepare for the sequel.
We've played for about six hours so far, and I'd agree on not playing it for the sake of preparing for the sequel.
The game is fun but it's not exactly story driven and it's meant to be played multiple times to experience different content.
I have a feeling the sequel will be an improvement so it's probably best to wait for that. Or play the first now and buy the sequel later if you aren't in a rush to play it.

The opposite for me, it was the only souls type game where i actually cared for the story and lore...

Yup
No haptics kinda sucks but Ive been spoiled with that shit this gen. Hopeful the general audio/visual feedback on the gunplay is solid.

I think the first Remnant was on UE4.25
Admittedly, I thought this one was also on UE4, until I read this interview.
It might not support Lumen, but it will support nanite. So that's something.

I'm lucky because i don't give a fuck about haptics
If you played the first game, you know that it doens't need any haptic to show great gunplay, you don't really need haptics for that.
I think nanite is not gonna make any difference with a small team like this one, like we saw the videos of remnant 2, it looks like a good ps4 game in 4k.

Ill find out tonight when I grab it off that sale. Put in some time before I grab the sequel. GAF brings the pain with the FOMO on release day

Just watch a recap of the first one (one that also include chronos and the dlcs), you risk to get burned playing 2 similar games back to back.Ill find out tonight when I grab it off that sale. Put in some time before I grab the sequel. GAF brings the pain with the FOMO on release day
And this comes from a huge fanboy of the first game.
I mean unless souls tps is like your favourite genre ever...
Then if you like the second one well enough you can still buy the first one that remain a great game for an even cheaper price.

Im not worried. It'll be more of a "lets see what this is about" sorta thing and not a full dedication. If 2 is that good i can always come back to it down the line.

If you already decided to buy the second one, i think you should just wait and play that one.
You can still buy the first if you like the second one well enough.

I havent decided yet. Ill see what you guys say next Tuesday.

From what i'm hearing from people who are already playing this one, people who liked rem1 are gonna love rem2 so you can just buy the game already, you are not gonna read any negative opinion in here most probably

I swear, this music intro is in every movie and every game (seemingly).
Big thump at the start that gradually fades, some young girl singing in a somewhat harmonic, yet slightly off key-melancholic voice that also fades, speaking few words till we get that bullshit imagine dragons-like build up. It's all so tiresome. It actually reminds me of youtube shorts and tiktok, and how everyone uses the same 5 tired fucking songs to do the same stupid shit.

I have tbh, i was so hyped for the trailer that i even liked the song, the power of fanboysm in full force

We have to remember this is still a small studio with a small budget. It's a AA game in most respects.
The thing that really matters is gameplay. That is what made the first game so good.
My concern is about bugs and performance. The first game had a lot of bugs and issues when it launched and it took a few patches to get as good as it is.

From what i'm hearing, this one seems in better conditions but you know how it work with youtuber and having exclusive access, so, finger crossed.

In what area did you noticed the biggest improvement?
I'm trying to not watch anything except official trailers and previews with b-roll footage.

Mostly the variety of environments thus far looks way more varied, the way the guns sound and shoot is improved, the melee is improved (was slightly jank in the first game).
Also, the dialogue is much better, really high quality now.
I also like the UI changes they made, you can inspect gear from up close
GymWolf
Member
Yeah the melee looks less janky, but i kinda loved the melee in the first one, it was super basic and the animations were just ok but it was weighty and hit boxes were perfect (combined with great ragdoll, it was a pleasure to smack smaller enemies).
Curious to hear the dialogues now, first one was just decent even if i liked the lore.
Best change in the ui for me is the map, a clear minimap goes a long way with the my enjoyment of a game.

Remnant 2 Is Going All In On Sweet, Sweet Numbies
Remnant 2 is more of what you love about Remnant: From the Ashes, but its pivot towards crunchy stats on loot may prove to be divisive.
www.thegamer.com
Wtf are numbies? Does he mean stats? gear? I've never heard that term ever, and buddy mentions it like 10x in that article.

What time is it?
The Handler's dog can revive you and can be used as a tank, healer, etc. to compliment your play style.

Liked the game a lot(Straight up number 1 favorite I feel nowadays) and mostly played solo... Did do little Co-op for the memes; but I feel like I got way more than my money's worth solo.

First game had great aesthetics, great gameplay only to be brought down by PISSPOOR enemy difficulty balance. Hard was fun but waay too tedious, Easy had no oomph.
Coop join in was a mess, Made me realize how spoiled I was only playing the big AAA all the time.
I hope they fixed everything, (alongwith dropping the "Remnant of the Ashes" title) because I really wanted to like that game.
