Man, those jukebox expedition missions in Control are fuckin brutal. I think somebody drank to much Destiny. They're 25-minute arena challenges with crazy waves of enemies with high danger levels (AND are stronger for their level,) with a handful of objectives you have to finish as you fight/avoid them. Extremely unforgiving shit. You always start with an enemy-favoring perk/handicap in play, like enemies having double or triple health, nearly double accuracy, more than double damage... you have to figure out how to make advantages out of it with seize, or using weapons that cut through certain enemies when set up right. You'll get every kind of super-enemy, sometimes in pairs AND mixes simultaneously. Just things coming at you from everywhere. Whether you fight or evade it's constantly like Indiana Jones running from the boulder... only when he does slip away he looks behind him and there's another one rolling down, but this one has spikes... and then he dodges that one only to be chased by one that also has spikes... only this one is also on fire... and the floor is made of snakes.
I feel like I need to drink to attempt more than one per day. Just... so much fear, anger, anticipation, insecurity... they're an emotional roller-coaster to play through, though it's a rush to actually beat the upper tiers. Though I'm betting a lot of people struggle with the lowest one, which frankly is already nintendo hard. Really. They did everything possible to make sure you are underpowered/overwhelmed, even throwing in some RNG fuckery to make sure some attempts are massively harder than they already are usually! I don't know WTF they were thinking with this. And to think, you have to grind for tokens in order to get the privilege of receiving these shock-and-awe ass-beatings.
I mean... it's cool. It looks cool and it forces you to the limits of your abilities and understanding of the gameplay. It's just so much so that you'll go from being so good at the game that you're bored to smashing the controller/mouse/keyboard. The best you can possibly do with perks/weapons is not enough to make a dent in the overall challenge level. I would smash my keyboard with my controller but that'd be $300 I'm smashing together hoping for victory, so I think maybe I'll take my parents old advice and come back later.
