Another heads up for game deals: Transistor is currently $5 on PSN if you don't have it yet. It was tied with The Fall for the indie choice, so I suspect it might be the next in line.
I've made it to the beginning of Montreal so far. The story is alright, pretty standard stuff. I am enjoying exploring around the levels and finding the different ways that you can access different areas. In a few cases, I've gone through most of an area and then discovered a shortcut that I could have taken that would have shaved 10-15 minutes off of traversing through the level.
I'm trying to stick to non-lethal methods (mostly hand-to-hand takedowns) unless I need to. For the times when things get messy, I've chosen a silenced pistol with the laser upgrade as my main weapon. It almost makes the game too easy since headshots are not difficult to pull off.
I was interested to see what the much-maligned boss fights were like. They are a little annoying since Jensen is as fragile as glass if you don't put points into defense, but I don't think they are that bad from what I've seen. After dying about 4 times on the first boss fight, I distracted him with a flash grenade, sneaked to the other end of the room, and fired about 4-5 sniper rifle rounds into his confused mug and it was over.
I'm enjoying the game so far and I think I'll stick with it until the end even though Rocket League is threatening to steal away all the time I have for video games.
I started playing this game last week as well, I'm around chapter 10 according to the loading screens. Should we hold off on gameplay/story discussion until the weekend?
