I'm a huge fan of this game series and have purchased both games for PC the day they came out.
That being said I'm only a handful of hours into this game and I really can't say I like it as much as the first game. The first game was so much fun to start combat with a huge fireball before you even aggroed the enemies and watch them burn and finish them off with your first attack with a ricochet arrow or even throw some oil and burn them before starting combat. I loved being able to have two casters flank enemies and create tons of elemental havoc.
That is completely gone due to the way the armor system works. Magic armor and physical armor both make it nearly impossible to set up fun elemental traps like that and due to the long cooldowns of attacks you generally have to use basic attacks in between cooldowns. There is a bigger focus on "blood" magic rather than elemental magic which really, really bums me out.
I also don't like any of the origin characters I am finding the writing to be not that great and I just don't know what happened in between games. I do plan on playing through it and hope my experience changes but after several hours I'm just so sad it isn't more of the first game but a different thing entirely. This armor system is a real drag.
*chain CCs dangerous enemies while everyone teleports everyone every which-a-way*
I think you're missing some stuff. By the time my industrial-strength Bullshit™ is done with enemies, it's just mop-up duty. The teleports are for enemies still armored up. Anyone cracked open gets slept or murdered.
Another hint: use armor rebuffs as curative spells GO GO GO
Actually, the golden age cartoons WEREN'T censored cuz they were for kids, it was tied into the Hayes Code, which was for all film.
The "kids" thing came later once TV popped up and old pre-movie cartoons were packaged for or produced fresh for kids-time programming (hence "the animation ghetto").
"Masocore" doesn't fit any game like Cuphead. People wouldn't practice and Git Gud if they wanted to suffer, they'd just throw themselves bodily at game and never improve if so.
