:911: The game :torgue:
This game is called Urban Chaos: Riot Response. You play as a top agent in a new proto-SWAT task force in not-New York/Chicago called T-ZERO (Zero Tolerance). You are Nick Mason, a legend, basically what you get when you mix Robocop with the Terminator and remove all aggression inhibitors. Nah in all seriousness he's ex-military and he's here to kick a lot of rear end. As a T-Zero officer, he is allowed to do whatever it takes to contain and end threats to the city and defeat the Burner Gang, a legion of crazy assholes who just want to kill everyone and burn poo poo down. Now, because we're on the right side of the law, that cannot be allowed. With an array of weaponry, even taking the gang's own primitive methods into account, there is no such thing as unauthorized force in this game. You have a gun, a shield, and a taser, and it's you against hundreds of Jason Voorhees impersonators. I'm playing the game and am of course joined by Coolguy & TheLastRoboKy.

The characters in this game don't really matter because they aren't Nick Mason, so let's just get to the gameplay. This game is Poe's Law in virtual format, glorifying American Law Enforcement to outrageously corny degrees.


:911: Rocksteady :torgue:
This was Rocksteady's first game before they went on to make the Batman: Arkham (noun) games! There is a very high level of polish & detail in this game. It plays solidly, there's a lot of cool poo poo to discover and figure out, and it makes for a fast paced and fun as hell FPS despite being obscenely short at only 17 levels. I figured I'd just play it because it contains a Taser, and I would never play any game solely for this fact unless it was an evil item of chaotic origins. This game is a bit frightening as it goes on because as discovered in the very first video Nick Mason does not actually exist in-game but that's just my opinion!


:911: The levels :torgue:
Every level demands a certain quota from you in the form of making a specific number of headshots, arrests, and finding mcguffin masks all over the place. You need to do this because it's how you unlock poo poo that actually helps you survive and have more fun with the game. On the flip side these challenges are poorly thought out in some of the later levels and are the crux of the three worst parts of the game, but that's just me again and we'll talk about that when we see it. Every time you do something cool the game flashes an award in your face to congratulate you for your badassery, so I don't think more needs to be said past this.


:911: Episodes :torgue:
Urban Chaos: Riot Response Episode 1 - Red Letter Day
Urban Chaos: Riot Response Episode 2 - RoboKy's quotes in this video would all make good video titles
Urban Chaos: Riot Response Episode 3 - Life comes at you fast
Urban Chaos: Riot Response Episode 4 - Maximum Grenade Belt
Urban Chaos: Riot Response Episode 5 - Petty Reasons
Urban Chaos: Riot Response Episode 6 - The Rise and Fall of Nick Mason

You foolish civilians and your "ideas" about The Law needing any fancy thing to keep track of Justice. The only thing Nick wants is just a nice set of Aviators.

Also other idea I'm too tired to attempt right now, final upgrade for Taser is Nick just breaking the thing in his hands only to find out that he was one with the lightning all along.

The more I think about it, I realize the blue liquid that you are given by Paramedics to heal with is definitely a play on the term blue bloods which is a TV series about a family of cops and is also a term to reference policemen.

You are literally injecting yourself with the blood of fallen police.

I don't know, because Nick seems to be a monster that entered the world as a byproduct of the Philadelphia Experiment, emerging from the tear as a spirit of the Taser here to wreak havoc.

YOU HAVE UNLOCKED... THE FLAMETHROWER is something I both hope and expect to hear at some point before this is over. Gotta keep cutting that red tape to get there though!

I regret to inform you there is no flamethrower. However, the Assault Rifle gets an upgrade that you never get to use which can definitely be construed as beyond the pale.

You also see the acetylene tanks all over the place. When shot they fly around and can ram into things. They don't hurt you but if they, rarely, hit an enemy, they set him on fire. Also, blowing things up sets them on fire as well. Molotovs will stop being used after a point in the game sadly.

I never died though :shobon:

edit: You are very right about Rocksteady starting their death scene streak with this game. For all the fun we're having and how corny we think it is, this game's atmosphere and mood shifts dramatically if you die and you see some of those scenes :suspense:

Seems like they're based on where you are, which of 3 ways you die, and who's around at the time. I'll gladly put together a video compilation of it all after the game's done, mostly because I'll be the only person to have done so if YouTube is any indication :getin:

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.

There was a comment on one of the Urban Chaos videos we've posted and it said "Wolf is voiced by vesemere, do you feel old yet?" and nobody responded to it and I had no idea who that was.
