Apparently, there are other people in this game. And they are all into dancing.

Hmm, the combat system continues to make no sense to me.


The animations make it look cool at least.

Does anyone else get the feeling watching this ryan is abit too serious playing, he doesn't leave much time for vinny to make jokes and play off each other like Jeff & vinny do on ER. I think they should get jeff in on this so vinny has someone to talk with. :P

At least this is much easier to watch, having played the game for 3+ years, watching last time was so painful with you huge matrix n00bs running about. Granted, they had the halloween skybox turned on, but still...

Is this game free to play now? Because my MMO itch is growing and I'm too scared to jump back on any of my old MMOs or start a new one. Since this ends in a couple of weeks, I would have to force to quit it.

Btw, have the devs actually said they're bringing back everything as greatest hits and this is not a part of the story? Because if the Matrix story is about to end I can see this as the Matrix is beginning to fail. The changes are just sign that the Matrix is going to down and in the end all the people will be free.

so yea this would be the matrix online communities response: http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/posts/list.m?&topic_id=36300029344,

fyi, on page 3 they're tracking when tonkatruck is online, i think some angry merovingians might jump you guys, watch out. This would also explain why you got randomly transported.

Also, the Speed, Power, Grab, and Block abbilities are tactics, which are like buffs. You should put them on your tool bar and switch between using them. Using Speed tactic causes the enemy to become dazed, power causes Staggered, Grab is uh, I dont remember, and block... blocks. Making someone daze or staggered opens up new combat abilities to use, which should help you in combat :p

I agree, Ryan doesn't seem to like or feed off of Vinny's quirky sense of humor nearly as much as Jeff. It's almost like an odd couple kind of thing. More entertaining thing than I assumed.

I don't get why they didn't stick around on the roof.  I thought talking to other players was one of the major points of this endurance run.  I was disappointed that they didn't really talk to anyone, especially when it seemed like the guy wanted to show them some kind of player created event.  That seemed a lot more interesting than finishing a fetch mission.
