https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxRZNhdtr6U i found this guy watchable, if a bit slow so i had to skip sometimes. research looks rather simplified now, lots of +numbers upgrades, which is a bit boring compared to the original. also the amount of tutorial objectives is overwhelming. that's the only complaints i have from watching

The original was very bold to gate important technology and traps behind a research system where you basically blindly mashed stuff together and hoped for the best but I'd be lying if I said I didn't go look up a published list of combinations every single playthrough so I can see why they'd change it.

Yeah on paper it's a cool idea and I liked it, in practice I just mashed the pay money to not interact with this button  A complaint I saw was someone saying their stations frequently go unstaffed, which sounds immediately fixable by using the punch clock from the first game, has anyone seen if they took that out or something? (No hate on the reviewer of course, if they didnt play EG1 that's easily missable, I just want to make sure my usual bullshit still works)

An easy reason for things to be unstaffed is only having the bare number of minions. Like if you get several gambling devices and only have 2 Valets they won't be able to staff them all, and also will be spending time resting and recovering, so there won't be anyone to cover their areas. Pretty much a lot of the people playing just need to recruit more specialists.

Minions being spent on missions is a change I never knew I really really wanted. Also, no more orphaned briefcases!!!

You have to respect that even after being promoted to running his own evil organization, Ivan is still more than willing to shoot rockets at random enemy agents. Like, literally, you HAVE to respect it. Otherwise he'll shoot rockets at you.

You know, I thought for sure one of the last second features they were going to announce was creating your own customizable villain. Wouldn't mind recreating some of my favorite villains from various movies and shows.

do any of the early impressions indicate any kind of extreme bugs or performance issues? That's about the only thing that could dissuade me from this

Game looks pretty good. I wish there were some kind of twitch integration so your minions and henchmen could be named after or minimally controlled/influenced by audience chat commands or something. It'd be pretty funny to check in on what a twitch user minion or hench is up to. Also a game in a similar kind of setting where one player as a RTS lair leader and their co-op player pals are henchmen playing in first or third-person (in addition to NPC minions) might have some fun potential.

I'm still torn between playing as Max again, or getting The Boys back together by playing as Ivan and hiring Jubei and Eli('s son). I love how much the devs at Rebellion clearly loved the first game  it really shows

I could never tolerate having my power plant anywhere near the entrance. One Infiltrator gets by and suddenly it's Chernobyl Also Infiltrators were kill on sight. Even if you bamboozled them with a Smarts torture they'd just come back

Apparently you can use captured people as trap test dummies. Also all the evil geniues' bios.

I wonder if each mastermind will get their own exclusive special agent nemesis in their playthrough. Emma trained Meanwhile Zalika is basically every Silicon Valley techbro, but actually competent, isn't she? (Also with less toxic masculinity one assumes) Although  at the bio where she beat her own AI at chess after a single year. It isn't even stated that in that year said AI became undisputed chess world champion, it's simply taken as obvious.
