Seriously satisfying adventure and meaningful choices in the gameplay to be made all the time. Agree man. Been so long since I hit that instant new game plus button on a game. You gonna try it too? Could be really fun to have literally all the augs.

Nah my first playthrough kept my very happy, stealthed when I wanted to, wrecked mans when I wanted. Only got about 5 augs left to get, and tbh I only ever used the vision to any real extent.

I must be doing something wrong. Really think the dialogue and animations are very poor, the story is uninspiring - and I loved HR btw. Ah I dunno, I really think I'm growing beyond traditional gaming altogether at this stage. My completion rate for games is dismal nowadays. Prefer to just hop on and shoot people with Badgers in Destiny, much like when I pretty much only played SFIV for four years; I've become a one trick pony.

You're just getting old Haak, plus you're all loved up now iirc so limited gaming time innit. I'm still single and work 2/3 days a week so I get about 40 hours a week potential play time lol.

I only have a few hours but still enjoying it

And this game has gone from a "probably will sell or trade it in ASAP" to "lets keep it and do NG+ if it has the option".

mistercrayon

It does.

I also am keeping mine

Because it's on steam.

Bob

I'm having some issues with it.

I'm almost at the point of abandoning stealth and just going loud and fuck the body count. There's just to many chummies fucking about to make it fun.

The maps just aren't as good as the last one. There's no sense of multiple paths or options.. sure there'll be vent or a locked door somewhere about if the main way is blocked but where's the people to sweet talk? I just don't like it as much. Prague is repetative as well. Each of the areas pretty much looks the same. There's no character to it all so it all becomes so much .. meh.

Also the blink/dash power is mapped to the left d-pad but your advised to use it when moving with the left stick so unless I'm missing something obvious it's difficult to use on the fly.

The whole

concept feels like padding to me. It's a smaller game I feel.

According to that jimquisition guy it was split into two games by sega(?)

Bob

I'm not sure what SquareEnix would have to say about that? the first game felt plenty long enough. Had four distinct zones iirc and I could take two guys down at the same time, or punch them through walls.. this.. not so much. Unless I haven't unlocked those yet.

mistercrayon

Double punch is doable in the tutorial mission so it's Deffo there. I think there are 1 or 2 wall punch areas but I think they want it more as a stealth path option and busting a wall killed the guy rather than ko so blocks off that route as a route for "pacifist" guys.

@Bob you can assign powers to any direction on the D Pad. my murder build chucks in a couple of grenades, dashes in and cleans up with the shotty. I'm liking NG+.

Yes but the d-pad is not good for a directional power up when I need to be moving to get the best out of it.. As I'm using my left thumb to move the stick.

fullspectrum

Ohhh, I see. I haven't messed around with it much. Put it on the shoulder button then?

Bob

Oh! Now you're talking. Will have a look.

fullspectrum

I shall try it too.

Vela

Finished. Good final mission but I get the impression that a lot of the references in the game are lost on me and link in to the original Ion Storm game.

mistercrayon

Yes

Howdy, Stranger!
