: Intercept Shaheed and recover the missiles

This game rules. All the mechanics are pretty janky (though not without charm), but the dialog and writing are phenomenal. I really dig how you get perks for every dang thing you do in the game - it really feels like your character is growing in real time. I'd forgotten how much I liked how the gameplay just flows - don't overthink it, go with your gut, live with the consequences. I'm pumped I finally have time to play games again. Here's hoping I'll be able to button it up by deadline.

: Intercept Shaheed and recover the missiles


that last bit at the end of the mission was pretty dicey for stealth/no kills. also throwing a guy over a railing isn't murder. the game's a lot of fun, i think i can at least get taiwan cleared by the deadline but i've also gotta make up a lot of ground in final fantasy.

cool game so far. it's wild how well the dialogue flows and how every other game i've played that tries to do dialogue this way completely fucks it up lol

yeah I've been thinking about it since I finished and appreciating how the real time dialogue selection makes you make a quick decision how you want to reply and also lets the conversations really flow. it's very cool.

I tried to beat Omen Deng during the level rather than in the boss fight and he used ancient Chinese sorcery to clip through the floor and shoot me to death while only his foot wobbled at me mockingly. He must die

Kind of wish learning anti techs in Blitzball wasn't such a pain in the rear end. Volley Shot's even worse since I've only seen it go off once in dozens of games.

It’s completely unnecessary. The only skill that matters is jecht shot and putting brother midfield

Omen Deng Deng Dong used evil Chinese magic, clipped through the floor then hit me on the head with his gigantic 3x size foot. For being a Stand user in an otherwise sensible game, and for being a traitor to the People's Republic, and also for dropping a solid gold shotgun that will help me afford the top tier pistol, he died

that's the most annoying thing about bliztball. really early on the strategy is to just get a couple of points and then toss the ball back and forth between the defense. any of the pass techniques that go up to 3 will technically make them level more but who cares, lol. like it's annoying that it's hard to get the goalie experience but he also doesn't need any! definitely needed a little tweaking.

: Beat the game as both Recruit and Veteran (PLATINUM)


This time played as a smarmy suave agent, mostly nonlethal, stealthy which was satisfying to do after playing the first run like a Ghost Recon game, Scarlet romance. I managed to do a few things I never had before that I always wanted to, like completely ghosting through the CIA listening post (not very hard this time so I'm not sure why it gave me trouble before, although maybe it's just because I did Rome last this time and already had my Stealth skill maxed out) and killing Marburg in the museum.

This game continues to kick a ton of rear end. I'm making friends with everyone except for the slimy corporate goons and the spooky rent-a-terrorist guy, and haven't murdered anyone any named characters in cold blood yet. The boss fights are... not great, especially since I'm running a full stealth/pistols build. Chain shot rules, though, so it's hard to complain too much.

I know the game really emphasised that there's benefits to making enemies of everyone but unless you're doing it because it's funny, I don't think I've ever seen good reason to piss people off lol. No I don't care about handler perks and neither does anyone else
