After beating it on insane...

[chevelleking]

I must say this is a really well done game and loads of fun. I'm actually going to do New Game+ because having more weapons in this game will make it a different experience.

Is it worth the money? Absolutely!!!

If anyone was wondering it took me about 6 h with medium exploration.

did you beat it on insane with a clean start?(no farmed new game+ to help you)
if so, cool!

Yea clean start, Atlas was a bit of a pain.

how did you deal with the final boss? Stuck there on hard, it's really tough and frustrating, as it's such a long fight with no checkpoints.

I think this fight varies a lot based on peoples weaponry, but the NRG Electric Mortar Stasis is really beneficial here, as well as the laser guided RPG and the Smartgun.

Use the stasis charge to pause the Charging robots when you really need too and tend to let them charge into stuff that they get caught up on, and take out all other enemies first while avoiding the boss's laser.

When all the mobs were killed I used the Smartgun to take down the bosses legs.

I also had 3 points in Trauma Pack which is really useful when you get into low HP.

Its such a hectic fight I agree, and can vary by large amounts between player by player, based on your weaponry, possibly the developers should offer a "talent reset" near the end of the game. However they may feel the game is beatable with all weapon combinations.

i guess if you did all the non weapon upgrades you might find it impossible :)

Last boss is actually somewhat easy.

Key to last boss is to focus on adds and ignore the boss until they're down. Except when the laser is chasing you - run like hell.

It just depends on how good you are at "crowd control".

Wow, you have some mad skills. I'm on the first giant boss guy on hard, and woowee, he's a tough one.\

Edit: Ya! Beat him with some help from the laser guided rocket launcher. That thing is useful and fun.

After beating Hard Reset on Insane I felt invigorated to replay all the classic fps games on the highest difficulty. Doom, Quake, Serious Sam, Painkiller, Unreal. The game restored a passion I thought I had lost!

You opened up some old wounds in my memory :(

[sh4dow83]

[Schnitzl]

You really have skills man! Congrats! Just finished on "normal" in 5:40 *lol*.
...practice practice practice...

I'm playing on Insane right now, clean start. So far my total playtime goes a bit above 10 hrs; played for 2 hours in normal at first, got bored, restarted in Insane.

People have been complaining about this game being *only* four hours long. In my case, it gotta be the longest freaking "four hours" in a game ever! :)

absolutely... seems to me those are all noobs running through it once on easy or normal, not caring about secrets or "ex mode" or anything really...

think Blood was even harder

[Jumpy-B-L]

9 hours here,still going. I got to what I hope is the last wave of enemies during the last boss fight but the heavy grenadier took me out. It's a ♥♥♥♥♥.

lol agreed. Took me 10 hours to beat it on Insane. Going to do a EX run to get the upgrades for the NRG weapon(focused entirely on CLN weapon and a few combat gears). So I'm going to get around 20 hours of gameplay to see everything this game has to offer and that's not counting how much I'm going to be replaying it just because it's so much fun :D

The fact that this game is getting hammered for being 4 hours long (complete bull♥♥♥♥) REALLY infuriates me. One of the best FPS made in years and it's getting ♥♥♥♥ on by dumbass reviewers who played on Easy and didn't look for any secrets. :(

Blood is harder than Doom, yes.

I hate this game on insane. No, seriously. F*ck you, stupid charging robots! I hate you SO MUCH!

they're not that hard to dodge, they don't change direction when charging, so you just need to start strafing a bit earlier and you'll be fine.

Yeah, yeah, I got that, but it's hard to fight 2-3 of them, because strafe is ugly here. Strafing is not enough for me, I have to jump as well. But mostly I hide behind any solid cover or corner.

Still hate them! Even those pesky dumbasses with rocket barrage don't make me THAT nervous.

[provitiligo]

OK, charging robots was kinda easy. Now I'm stuck with that jumping half-man/half iron spider dudes. They move and kill too fast :-(

After 18 deaths on normal i finally beat last boss, lol. Problem is i only got all the gear upgrades and one or two weapon upgrades. Epic fight at end it actually felt good to win. Story wise it felt like it was just beginning! i want to know more...
