But after it was finished, it suddenly got to me that I was eating shit the whole time. I was hyped and blinded, the thoughts of game's issues didn't even appear in my head until my second playthrough was half done, back then I also had a lot more free time to play, so I was getting through the game pretty quickly. I made a series of posts in DOS2 thread about my progression on first and second playthoughs, nothing impressive really.

I purchased the game as soon as it was available and finished it 2 times in a row, oh boy, I really liked my first time. The first game was very flawed, but had a lot of potential, so I bought into Swen's bullshit about how they were going to improve the sequel. As for Cerberus, I've read that he is the first newbie killer, but I didn't even get a chance to learn his attacks, in fact I beat him without getting hit, I was just standing in the left corner and kept on shooting. The game is pretty easy so far, although I've managed to die once, no, not on Cerberus, but on the first secret mission, for some reason enemies are way more agressive there, so I had to readjust. This is actually pretty tiring, my forearm feels like it has got a nice workout, I thought that crazy combos required way too many button presses, so I reduced by them half. Looks simple, but it's very easy to drop if you jump at the wrong time, as for aerial rave I don't know how people cancel the first hit of it, I can't do this.

I've done a bit of practice and this is the best I can do so far. But it's not just that, the execution is also very demanding, you have to press a lot of buttons pretty fast without messing up and some stuff requires you to be very precise, like jump cancels have very strict timing, make one mistake and you drop the combo.

It's insane how much stuff the game offers to you, my head spins when I think about higher level play, where you have to dodge several enemies at once, look for opportunities to attack and land those fucking combos, the decision making requirements are crazy. What the fucking shit is that ?! How many years do you have to spend on this game to get a good idea of weapon properties, train muscle memory enough to do advanced combos and learn enemy behaviour ? I didn't think it was that bad, until I got a second pair of weapons that can be switched mid combo at almost any time.
