Of course I'm being sarcastic, like what do you even mean? "guns and knifes are over done" how can you justify that sentence? I'm at a loss for words reading it, hence the sarcasm.
Ranged weapons and melee weapons have been done to death cp shouldn't rely on them, time for something new.
You almost got it. Just add one word.
"Ranged weapons and melee weapons have been done to death cp shouldn't rely
only on them, time for something new."
Also, Protip: Sarcasm doesn't get across on the web most of the time.
Nothing but guns and knives is the problem - I'm not confident about hacking being useful; explanation below since I will be required to defend myself anyway.
This game will just have combat we have seen a zillion times before in CoD, in Fallout, hell even in Skyrim - just replace the guns with magic and bows. It's such a wasted opportunity given the setting … instead we just got nothing but guns and knives
again.
RE: hacking. In most games, it's added because the developer thought, "this is cool" but after the mob comes under your control … the developers don't know what to do.
Half of them instant nerf the controlled mob and it more or less becomes useless as it drops dead nigh instantly achieving nothing of worth. Even if the controlled mob somehow survives, the AI - they almost never put it under your direct control - is too stupid and unpredictable to be useful to you. At most it will act as a short lived distraction. The developers put zero thought into how the turned units can be integrated into the gameplay.
That's assuming the feature doesn't end up completely situational where the developers create specific "hey look, you can hack here" scenarios.
The end result is, hacking just becomes a gimmick that's generally not worth investing in. Easier just to kill everyone outright.
Nanowires … just another knife. I don't get what the big deal is. Thematically it's cool I suppose, just like the thermal katana. But gameplay-wise it's just another melee weapon.
End of the day we will be shooting and stabbing our way to victory … like in every other darn game since Wolf3D.
