Oh yeah, I also wanted to point out since Lunethex et al are usually too busy laughing about other stuff how ridiculous the premise for these side missions are. "Nick, the Burners have kidnapped a VIP who's VITAL TO THE CITY'S SURVIVAL." Like there's this collection of men in business suits metaphysically attuned to the essence of Neo Olde Chicago and if they die the city dies with them.
We call them politicians for life. Get elected for 20+ years and they know how things work or should work at their whim. It also sounds like a maintaining of the status quo, so the situation gets more dire.

I feel like as a Chicago Son myself I should be be notarizing how this isn't Chicago, but on the other hand I'd say "Well, at least it isn't generic New York. gently caress it, I'll take Not Chicago in a video game."

It's a short game with only 2 episodes left so in the interest of a high pace high adrenaline let's play full of thrills & chills the update schedule should match it.

Normally I would say that all the scene was missing was a cheesy post-mortem one-liner, but honestly that entire sequence didn't need it :stare:

The news segments imply that there's a reasonable timejump between levels, the anchor generally says something like "last month Nick Mason killed a fuckzillion gangers when they attacked the Charity Street Orphinarium" to recap your previous adventures. So not only are crazy mask-wearing murdergangs terrorizing the city but they've basically been doing so for something like half a year straight at this point without pause.

That's even better, because that means with the hundreds of mooks that have been subdued, shot, tazed, bean-bagged, charcoaled, or beheaded these guys must be doing a recruitment drive for the ages. "Ey, buddy. C'mere. Wanna join up with a gang of idiots in hockey masks and try and take down Robocop? It doesn't pay and there's an 80% chance your head will be forcibly removed from your body from a mile away by large caliber gunfire. The other 20%? You'll be electrocuted by Emperor Palpatine from a block away until you catch fire. Sound good? Can you handle a circular saw and pretend it's a chainsaw?"

Or maybe, just maybe, there are no citizens in this city. Either you are a cop, super cop, firefighter, medic, news reporter, camera man, mayor or "VIP"...or you're a Burner.

The start of the video outright stated that its been 9 months since this started, and there's generally a month or two between missions it seems. You're still depopulating the city pretty quick though.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
The game very explicitly wants you to play through levels multiple times to get all the medals-hell, it would require it if you weren't using a cheat code to start on the top difficulty, and weren't using computer controls to trivialize aiming. You really don't have anyone to blame but yourself for insisting on getting everything in one run.

I don't use computer controls, it's a PS4 controller :shobon:

Primary LP reason for completing it all in one go is because it saves time on editing, that way I don't have to splice in the YOU HAVE UNLOCKED MY NICK MASON BIOGRAPHY scenes and have a bunch of random clips. 1 run, all the rewards, ALL THE WAR CRIMES :kheldragar:

The reason I was going on about how you would have to do multiple runs was asinine was because, IMO, you should be able to get all the quotas in 1 run and have a buffer of more enemies to actually use the other weapons and items on for the sake of fun. With how high the demands keep going it starts stifling the ability and desire for creativity, at least for me, because they make such a big deal about going through all these and reminding you about it every time it happens. This is why I say Sewers, Forshaw Plaza, and the last level of the game are the 3 bad parts of the game. I can't find anything else to gripe about whatsoever since it's as clean and polished as Shiny Energy, the leading conglomerate in human power. Sewers has a specific number of enemies that give you just enough to 100% in a single run, Forshaw Plaza gives you a buffer of only 7 enemies who are not arrested or brained, and the last level in the game straight up does not have enough enemies to do both objectives.

Yeah, mouse control on an emulator is very hit or miss. One may be able to bind the right stick axes to mouse movement, but it would probably utterly flip out whenever the FPS drops.

Yeah, but the last level is rather fun and interesting, so calling it the worst level just because you can't minmax the trophies seems kind of petty.

It's only bad because you're trying to record it for an LP. The game's balanced around not immediately unlocking all of the weapons, and a radically different, far more conservative play style than you're using. I certainly understand not playing the game that way for a low effort LP, but giving the game poo poo for not being a different game makes little sense.

I'm most disappointed in how you haven't casually lobbed a nailbomb over your shield at a Burner yet. That animation is goddamn hilarious and I love it so much. A close second in disappointment is how you haven't shown off the secondary function for the shotgun either and how stupid powerful it is. Are you going to do a playaround video at the end where you show off all the crazy poo poo you unlock without worrying about quotas?

I'm going to say this wasn't lune aiming for the gang members dick because like 7 shots were on target before that and he was probably holding down to fight recoil and over compensated. Also because the gang members junk was shielded by the hostage at the start of the shooting.
