END RANT.


Restart the game and read all the notices in Jackson

And then just stand in the pub rather than progressing I guess

Location spoilers: Jackson, the stadium and the island all looked nice in their own ways, although the island you don't get to experience in peacetime.

See, the game allowing you to spend more time in Jackson would have been *perfect*.

The trailers set up a bit of an expectation of spending longer in Jackson - but then the trailers did a lot of things like that :lol:

I can’t believe this. :lol:

:oops:

I was totally focused on Abby. It didn't register.

Causing panic and mayhem by taking out the sharpshooter after Martyr's Gate is hi-larious :lol: :nod:

How about this note...

:lol:

Another narrative moment I completely missed on first playthrough. Manny's sex cave just before sneaking out of the WLF camp.

Just cracked my first safe without knowing the code too. Listening for the clicks totally works.

I said I'd pick up the pace but I spent 2 hours going through that China Town section after you leave Manny lol. That Scar encounter was intense and I couldn't help myself with trying to stealth it. Managed to take down the first area unseen, but the second section with the broken buildings was a bit tougher. Ended up having to gun down the last few guys. The way they all surround you is scary. Also completely forgot about Abby's reveal trailer we saw ages ago so I'm still not fully blind. I'm guessing that part is next since you get caught at the end of that segment. Oof, I'm not ready.

If you can get this part of the game to work right, you can sort of play clicker tennis :slol: Clicker is the ball and gunshots are the shots – you shooting at the whistlers, whistlers shooting at the clicker(s). I managed it last night and it really was hi-larious. Forgot to save the footage ffs :x :x :x

So all the bigots, racists and immature entitled idiots that review bombed the game on release, (most willingly showing their hand with some of their comments but also demonstrating their amazing speed-running capabilities completing the (pretty substantial) game bang on release), are slowly but surely being overtaken by positive reviews.

:lol:

I think it's pretty cool, considering the initial 50k or whatever it was, on it's own was substantially more than pretty much any other games user reviews combined.

Clearly didn't bother watching those videos I posted did you? :lol: There's still probably lots you haven't noticed, like dusting the floor by crawling over it?.........admittedly not as useful as cracking the safes.. :slol: :shifty:

If there is one thing you won't catch me doing, it's watching videos :P

It's like reading about something but really slowly...

Next time I’ll transcribe it for you, maybe with pictures? Do you look at pictures? :shifty:

Do I like pictures? Books with pictures are the only books I read!

There's a great YouTube video about why watching something being explained to you is 100 times better than reading about it, but you don't want to see that right now. ;)

I really hope they do something neat with the multiplayer. Got a hunch with what they might do, but need to finish the game first before I get amped on that idea lol.
