Im very torn about buying this game. If its just puzzles for the sake of puzzles, then I'm out.
Brad's description of the mystery of the island summed up as "a loose meditation on epistemology and spirituality" doesn't seem that interesting when your only reward after beating a hard puzzle is an even harder puzzle.
The game looks super interesting but I don't know if it will be give me the drive to finish it. I don't mind puzzles but if the game is JUST that, then its not for me. I need to see more videos of this game to get a better understanding of what it is.
Jeez, I could not disagree more with Alex about Hotline Miami 2. They're both trial and error games. Both games become immaculate and weirdly meditative after you've died multiple times and only then know where everyone is. The game then becomes about how stylishly and combo-ishly you can beat levels. Hotline Miami 2 definitely deserves a top 10 place. Sadly, this isn't so. Oh well, to each their own.
@ottoman673: haha, I love how people who respond to people wanting drew to use the dart pistol always go the "people are different, bro. life's all about variety"-path.
Its like it turns into a human rights' issue or something.
I also want Drew to use the dart pistol not because I want him to use it, but because judging by his play style it would be easier for him to use it. Also, given the fact that Drew is overlooking fairly core mechanics in this game, its no wonder he's getting more frustrated with this game than need be. For instance, Im still perplexed why they haven't done the Gunsmith side-op since Drew wanted a silenced sniper rifle.
@mithhunter55: I think most people want Drew to play with the dart pistol because it'll be better for his play style. I don't want drew to just play the game, I want him to have fun with it and the riot smg is pretty bad weapon to be stealthy with. Also, given that drew has wanted a silenced sniper rifle for a while, Dan should have directed him to do the gunsmith op. I'm not sure why it was so brazenly passed by.
The riot smg is a terrible weapon if you want to be stealthy and capture fools. Use the the dart pistol. That way, even if you don't get a headshot, they won't freak out and will go down after a few seconds.
Interrogation is key: it's weird how Dan doesn't know this but after you stun or zzz a guy, just go over to his body and right trigger to kick him. At this point hold a gun to him and he'll immediately submit to an interrogation, no need to wait for him to get up. Now, just use the left bumper to bring up the radial wheel and interrogate as usual. When you're done, you can kick him again to stun him so he doesn't scream while fultoned or just fulton him if no one is around. You should be doing this to pretty much everyone and if you do it this way, it super quick, and useful.
