Yes the game is great with the freedom it allows you! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Hoping Pirovash gives it another shot soon too.

SPOILERS!!

In my game I talked to Juan but refused to kill him when ordered by Ana. Ana then shot him and said 'this is how we deal with terrorists'. I got chastised for it by everyone except Alex back at base, despite JC's argument of how killing unarmed prisoners is illegal.

Ah yeah, I just shot my way through that outside area. I used EMP grenades to take out the turrets etc and get to the corners, using either keys or lockpicks to get in. Oh yes, I think I got that secret area too, it was a brick in the back wall right?

When you send the message via satellite Walton Simons will always turn the soldiers against you. It's because you're sending a distress signal to the terrorist organisations.

When you leave, if you didnt kill Ana like me, you fight her in the Subway station. You can either get captured by her, or if you kill her Gunter then stops you outside. You can choose to surrender or he'll fight you. I'm not sure if it's possible to beat him in this fight though.

Yeah it was a brick on the wall.

Ah so the experience doesnt drastically change then. I hacked the computers which allowed sending the signal. Later I found out that the code could be found beneath the building in that overly protected basement. Lasers, closed doors, explosions everywhere. Finally got the code and I was like damn. Well at least the loot was nice(also skill points).

There was no anna in the subway station. It was just me and I tried to avoid gunther by trying to destroy the mechs, but seems that it was part of the story. Kind of regret helping him out now at the beginning! I think I tried fighting him but that choice was absolutly impossible lol. Shots from everywhere!

I just escaped the UNATCO HQ. Spoke to everyone that wasnt a soldier trying to kill me. Asked some of them to join me, but advised the doctor at the medlab to stay. There was also a soldier at the beginning in one of the prisons that can assist you through the whole area. I actually managed to get him out with me. Miguel was his name.

MORE SPOILERS:

Haha, yeah I went to the basement as well. I figured I 'should' since that is where the proof of corruption is as well. Did you find it? It was on top of the shelves, you need to jump to grab the datacube that has evidence of Manderley accepting bribes from Walton Simons.

I managed to make it out of the complex after setting off the distress signal without killing any UNATCO guys. I chucked a lot of gas grenades and made use of bodyarmor and haz-mat suits to escape past them. Ana wouldn't have shown up in your game because she's a fine red mist already. And yeah I threatened to fight Gunther but got rekt and woke up in the prison Cell when Daedalus helped me escape.

I got Alex and Jaime to try and join me, the General stayed behind because they need good people to stay back and support what UNATCO stands for. I managed to get Miguel out as well, and managed to take out a few Men in Black agents too. Those guys are creepy.

Let me know when you get to Hong Kong and how you go there! I'm currently on the last legs of the HK missions.

[CrazyT]

I actually didnt find that. Coincidently I still have a save file there. Where should I be looking?

Wait you could get those MIB to follow you as well? I had a red aim reticule from the moment i saw them. They looked scary indeed

I am actually at hong kong now I think, I mean we landed somewhere with the helicopter. Cant remember how and why. You may refresh my memory on this if you want. I kind of lose track with things with my irregular gaming time.


Edit: Wait nvm found it. It was in the same room with the other datacube it seems.

[CrazyT]

Spoilers

Hong kong is great . At first I felt it was hard to navigate because of how big and mazy it is(I dont use the maps). I decided to explore the whole place before I went looking for tracer Tong. The place is huuuge. Sewers and stuff had a lot of exploration. The boat with the woman selling mods. Also the secret room in that boat by activating one of the lamps. There was a biometric charger thingie but also a box with money. There was also 2 small boxes inside of it. I was like why not destroy them, and whadya know, even more cash inside of them!

I also got in one of the bars in that same area. Stumbled on some guy who thought I was paul. There was like a whole secret area thing in the back through the kitchen>freezer>airduct> umder water. Some monsters were there and found one of those augmentation upgrade items on a dead body.

And thats just some of the few things i did. I mean fooling around in this game is so fun. Its what im doing most of the time. The woman behind the counter at the lucky money has a lot of cash if you hit her unconsious.

The red arrow vs luminous path fight in one of the underground areas was hilarious to watch.

I ended up at maggie chow which seemed to be a bitch. I got the code from her but from further exploration I had already gotten to the dragon's tooth and it deactivated the sidequest. Thankfully i still had the code to acces the passage under the police area.

Got the killswitch removed at tracertong and am now at versalife

[spoiler end]

At this point im thinking that this game is the kind of game that keeps getting more interesting and better as you progress. The bar keeps on rising. Especially when I think about how the game started and I was still skeptical. Im not thinking about when its gonna finish, only about what's next. Im glad that i sticked with it. I recommend everyone to as well if you read this

[MadeManG74]

^The game does keep getting better and better as the stakes get higher and you get deeper in to the conspiracy.

I finished up at Hong Kong and I'm now in another location! Don't want to give spoilers! I'll wait until you're caught up.

Just finished the game! As fantastic as I remembered it.

Hope you guys are still playing

^Congrats

I just finished the docks. I think so far that has been the toughest part to stealth/pacifist through. Huge environment with a lot of places to check and explore. Took a lot of time

I'm in paris now

Edit: Btw what does a bogey mean lol. The stuff some of the enemies say makes no sense. I mean... fascist?


Edit2: I just found Jaime reyes in paris. Did he also give a "killphrase" for gunther? Supposedly he got it because I advised him to stay at UNATCO for intel

Bogey is a military term, it means making contact with something unknown, but assumed to be an enemy.
EG: I got a bogey here!
When do they use fascist? I don't remember that one. Unless it's civilians talking about you when you work for UNATCO.

Remind me where the 'Docks' were? Do you mean in Hong Kong? How did you go about getting to the UC and the like?
Paris was a great level, I really enjoyed that one a lot.

I didn't find Jaime in Paris. Where did you find him? I thought I explored the area pretty well too. Maybe because I asked Jaime to leave UNATCO we got a different result?

I didn't get a kill-phrase for Gunter at any rate. I love how the older mechs had kill-phrases, and how Paul/JC had their remote Kill-Switches.

[CrazyT]

It just sounds funny when they say it. The voice acting can be pretty funny in general .

Yeah its in the beginning when you're still against NSF when they called me a fascist.

With "Docks" I meant the naval shipyards. I'm not sure if it was in hong kong or in the US. I think it was in the US? About the UC, i'm not sure how I got there anymore. I think through the subway backdoor I got there with a code tracer tong gave me, and then there were a couple of ways to maneuvre through the place. There's a bit with the blue laser security, i used the multitool to disable it. I dont know if there's any other way of getting through or getting rid of the laser. I used the drone to disable the 2 mechs behind it. The drone has been really useful so far. I'm glad I picked it  earlier in the game. Especially now its lvl 3, it disables even the big ones instantly. So I ended up going down to maggie chow. If there's anything I should know about that part do tell.

Yeah Jaime was in Paris in one of the bars/restaurants. He ended up telling me how he had a feeling the UNATCO was getting suspicious about him or something like that. And then told me how he got into UNATCO's system and got Gunther's killphrase from there. So my decision of keeping him there worked out well it seems!

Seems to have come in handy!

Seems to have come in handy!

Ahh yeah I know what you're talking about. You've spoken to Stanton Dowd then I take it? I found that mission quite fun.

I know you could get into the secret base via Maggie Chow's apartment, there's a room that the maid gets very nervous about you being in that opens a secret door. As for the Versa Life building to get to the UC I think you need to go in through the back or in the front door.

Oh yeah, to disable the blue lasers/trip wires, you can use EMP grenades as well! That's usually what I did to save my multi-tools.

The drone sounds really awesome, I didn't use that, I picked the other one (EMP Shielding?)
Either way, I think it's great almost all the various augs have their uses through the game and there's usually a time for each you think 'I'm glad I chose that one'. The super strength one came in handy reaching some areas by moving big containers around and the like for example.

[CrazyT]

Yeah shanton dowd. I mean you're supposed to do that to progress right? He was in that deserted demolished building. Speaking of which, hell's kitchen was tightly secured at that part. Couldnt even move around.

I figured as much about UC. You never know with the options i've encountered so far. Compared to human revolution, this game has a lot more options to find your way through the game. Its also in what augmentations you choose. I dont have the heavy object lifting aug so i think our methods differ a lot with me having the drone aug. Its definitly handy against all the bots later in the game. You can basically sit in a safe spot and just disable about everything. Making emp grenades kind of obsolete when making it reach lvl 3. Emp grenades disabling blue laser strips made me realise that the drone can do it too! But there have been a lot of bits where i wish i could lift heavy objects.

Right now i've just been done with the MJ12 Sub base. Killed simons on my way out. Its funny how its my first legit "boss" fight. After killing anna navarre on the plane, and having gunther's killphrase, this was actually my first battle!

I also found an amazing glitch at gary savage. I decided to record it. Check this out lol. Not sure if its a well known one.

Having a full inventory and just standing there makes him keep giving me 500 skill points lmfao. I feel like im cheating now

[MadeManG74]

^Did you get Stanton his Ambrosia? Also, did you meet Lucius deBeers? He's always so cold

But yes, one of the great things about this game is the wealth of options opened by different augs. I remember using the EMP drone ages ago, but didn't use it this playthrough. I used the aggressive defence aug instead which was handy in gunfights, protecting me from rockets and the like. My character was more suited to shootouts this time, with my gep gun I was able to attack most mechs with that. The white phosphorus rounds made short work of infantry too.

And yes, I believe Simons is the only NPC in the game you 'need' to kill.

As for that glitch, that's nuts! Don't ruin the game for yourself by abusing it too much!

[CrazyT]

I think I did. What was the place called? There were a lot of gravss and he was at the cemetary. I definitly got the ambrosia for him. Man there's so much stuff that happens, you kind of lose track. Or at least in my case since its my first time. I keep going from one part to the other. Its different from HR where the game goes from hub>mission>hub>mission. Its less consistent and less predictable in this one. I enjoyed every environment so far but i kind of lose track of where ive been.

We should really show our augs and skills at the end(when im done too :p). Kind of curious at the differences

Edit: oh yeAh i did see lucius debeers. That was kind of sad seeing him being tricked by everett. I was really conflicted about it and was wondering if i should end his life or not. I decided to leave him, but then I read more about him, and now i wish i just ended his life... Seems he was a terrible guy
