Overall, seems that caffeine doesn't do much for your strength training in the 1 — 5 rep range but it can improve your muscular endurance in sets that are above around 6 reps.. It doesn't always increase how much
weight you can
lift in these rep ranges, but you
generally can do
more reps with the same
weight or
more total sets if you take caffeine.
Chromehounds was nice but I wouldn't call it great.The environments were sparse (a notable trend in From Software games), the assembly system was prone to abuse (cock blocking), and while I
generally lift my nose at anyone who complains a game is «too slow» I do have to to admit that the
weight to speed ratio seemed skewed.A smaller nitpick that got to me was that the heavy gunner role felt underdeveloped when it came to the mechanics involved or
more precisely the lack there of, using only your eyes and your misses to judge where to aim was jarring in immersive sense (they have giant robots but no laser range finders or even an reticle on the screen to give some form of estimation of where to aim) and felt like an after thought.As usual, From Software had a pretty cool idea but failed to apply the extra level of polish that would push the game to greatness.
