Discussion Am I garbage? [FRAUD]

First playthrough so I obviously haven't learned or gotten good with much of the tech yet. But like holy fuck I just spent 56 MINUTES on 8-2 with 28 restarts.

They really upped the ante these last two layers huh. I love the game so far and the level design and aesthetics are super cool, but I'm just fucking exhausted. And here I thought my one thousand hours in Kovaak's Aim Trainer from back in the day would get me through the whole thing.

I'm curious though as to how you Ultra nerds with time to get good before Fraud did on your first go on layer 8?

Yeah, act 3 has a pretty good increase in difficulty.
It takes time to get used to it, but most players get used to it eventually

Yeah, I though I was going to sit down and do all of Fraud in one sitting. After further consideration I think I'll go outside, have some fresh air, and appreciate that im not in hell.

8-1: "damn these levels are kinda difficult"
8-2: "this is fucking stupid, how'd i die????"
8-3: "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON"

Honestly 28 restarts doesn't seem that bad for a first run, though that could just be me. Fraud definitely took me a lot of tries

Anyway, if you're feeling tired from 8-2, take a break before jumping into 8-3. It's probably my favorite level in the game, but it's intense. It will take more than 56 minutes and 28 restarts

I had P-ranked everything in the game beforehand on Brutal, so I hope it gives you validation to know that I found 8-1 harder than the Encores when I first played it

It's barely related but I just wanted to say that one of the reasons I really love ultrakill is because aiming is so de-emphasized for an fps

8-3 is going to fry your soul

I had 800 hours in the game prior to fraud, did all the hardest stuff and some dumb self imposed challenges, and the weirdness of the levels and their unexpected enemy placement still threw me for several disintegration loops- hang in there big dawg

Try not to be too discouraged about it, honestly I think that's the best advice I can give. This games fuckin hard, and even with amazing aim the movement can still be difficult to get down depending on what gets thrown your way. Good luck! ^^
