Seeing as my pc can’t run either 3ds emulation or ps3, my options are limited for a proper sequel to 2, Ex Troopers. So I’m wondering if I should give 3 a go even though I heard it’s bad? I like that it’s set in a snowscape and has a focus on survival horror, both pluses, but the footage I’ve seen the core gameplay looks a bit jank.

  • it has some pretty cool first person mecha gameplay, but afaik (i could never stick with it enough to finish) there are no mecha guns, only melee with drills and claws and grappling hook hands. on foot gameplay disappointed me especially compared to the first 2 lost planet games, its basically a worse gears of war style cover shooter imo, whereas lost planet 1 and 2 had almost monster-hunter-esque gameplay with those classic dodge animations and invulnerability frames and the option to have centered camera.
