How is it that you guys are playing the game when the worthless goober at my local EB says it isn't released here until the fucking THIRTEENTH?
Get your fill of sci-fi, science, and mockery of stupid ideas

Very weird. I just played it, and there was no trouble at all. Well, other than the fact that the tension meter just spiked and everyone decided to kill me, despite there being no reason for it. And me playing on Professional and all... sigh. Sometimes, one just has to restart, I guess.Stark wrote:Oh, I got the v1.1 thing already, but I always crash after a few minutes in the opera level.

Not really. It's slowmo indicating that you're about to die, unless you score a few headshots (in a row, I think), in which case you're pulled back from the brink of death. Of course, that doesn't help you much when there're still a lot of enemies around you, but it's still kinda fun. Also intensely frustrating, of course.What's with the red thing anyway? It's slowmo with infinite ammo before you die... but sometimes you don't. Seems to be random?
It's a good idea, just less than ideal in precisely the sort of situation you find yourself in in the finale.Stark wrote:So it helps you if you've got a moderate number of guys near you. It hinders, and prevents you from loading, if there is one, none of heaps of guys near you. What a horrible feature.
Agreed. Like the sniping issue, I'm kinda wondering what the devs had in mind there. On the other hand, they're danes, so I'll cut them some slack...Stark wrote:It'd be fine if it didn't STOP YOU LOADING THE GAME. I'm rarely in a situation to use it and I'd rather save then sit through their l33tzor excellent slomo sick effect.

Oh hell fucking yes.Big Orange wrote:Did anyone think the final was novel and very exciting?
That’s weird; I can sedate sleeping people just fine. I’ve sedated/poisoned the sleeping girl in the hotel where you start the “A Murder Of Crows” level loads of times.Stark wrote: When I find a sleeping/resting/whatever dude, I want to be able to jack him full of sedative or poison... but I can't. I've found *sleeping* people, in fricking bed, and I have to pop them in the face with a gun. Why can't I inject them? Who knows.
Nope. I just went and tried to sedate the sleeping girl in the hotel and poisoning one of the sleeping guards in ”A Vintage Year" and it worked both times.Stark wrote:Are you messing with me? I've waved the syringe at sleeping guys all over the place (well, the first two levels, since the bloody game keeps crashing) and nothing. When they're standing, the cursor goes red and you can jack them, but when they're lying down it never happens. Even tried to climb onto the bed and do it, but they woke up. And the 'napping' guys around the place? Their eyes might be closed, but they can SENSE needles.
There have been problems with sedating even standing people. Ofttimes when I've creapt up on some poor schmo, I've been unable to activate the sedation feature for at least ~1 second. That can, needless to say, prove quite fatal.Stark wrote:Demmit. Why is it so inflexible? What about the beds that you can't stand at the foot of? Bah. I still call poor design.

Much like GR:AW, I got sick and fucking tired of waiting. Why the fuck are release dates for Australia so arse-backwards, and Tassie more-so. It drives me fucking insane and leads me more and more to love systems like Direct-2-Drive and Steam.Vympel wrote:I was of course, referring to Stark and Ando, who are Aussies.
Imports my ASS ... thieves, the lot of you!
OK, its a shitty system, but what happens is, if you can get 3 (count 'em, 3) headshots before you die, you get revived back from that state and can continue on.Stark wrote:Oh, I got the v1.1 thing already, but I always crash after a few minutes in the opera level. I can't beat it in that time. :(
