Stuck in Silent Storm - Sentinels

Post by Stark »

I'm playing with some hard settings, and I took the 'save the London UN building from bombers' mission. Thing is, when I get to the room with the guys and their bombs, the damn place blows up no matter what I do. I kill the guys after one or two bombs are armed, disarm them... and the place blows up anyway. What are you supposed to do? I've only got three characters, so killing all four before they arm any bombs is pretty much out of the question.

Killing all of them before they get a turn worked for me.

Thats fantastic - and utterly worthless. I've got three guys with low-med equipment: the game cannot progress until I complete this mission. I can't ninja them all in one turn.

Did they arm any bombs? Did you disarm them, and did this work? Is the game really so terribly designed that taking the missions in the wrong order fucks the game?

According to the PCGamer US review... yes. They reviewed the bundled gold package and the only reason it got a score that didn't completely suck is because it came with the original Silent Storm. They ripped Sentinels to shreds in the review.

Man. That sucks. It's so neat... and I broke it. Le sigh.

Thanks for the heads up, anyway. At least now I can start again and get more guys, play missions in different order, etc.
