Deraldin Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I just finished that sniper level when you travel with that guy and assassinate some russian, so frustrating. The ending was so ridiculously hard I had to replay it about 6 times. I'd either get nailed by a rogue grenade and get stuck trying to run away because I like being in confined areas or I'll pick up my buddy and just get railed by a bunch of dudes trying to get to the helicopter. That was a great level, although I agree that the end battle was just amazingly frustrating. It took me over 20 tries to beat it on Regular. I'm working through again on Hardened. Some areas are harder, some are easier, and some are Ferris Wheel level difficult. The TV station kicked my ass repeatedly. It was an "enemies throw flashbangs too?!" discovery.

Noceur Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 That's weird... the only place I died on, in the Pripyat level, was when you're crawling between the patrol with tanks . I actually managed to finish the end of the level without dying once (on regular), but I guess it depends on where you lie down and what routes you boobytrap. (I think my buddy drew most of the fire, because of where I lay down.) I agree though, I'd say 90% of the times I died in the game was because of a grenade (or worse, exploding vehicles). Throwing the grenades back is pretty fun though. And I swear to god, 50% of the grenades that killed me are from friendlies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing the grenades back is pretty fun though. And I swear to god, 50% of the grenades that killed me are from friendlies. Apparently if you hide by the bumper cars you don't get swarmed so badly. Like an idiot I stayed right next to my buddy. I was crouching just behind the hill so that I could go prone and be completely covered from enemy fire. It only took me a couple tries to get through the first half, but it was the second part after the helicopters show up that really got me. It took a few tries to get the timing down so that I knew which enemies to take down in which order. I managed to make it through the beginning of the level only dying once. The only other place I died in that level was in the one apartment where you set your buddy down in the door, then clear out the rest of the floor. The dog killed me. I didn't have the timing figured out yet, in order to kill them after they knocked me down. I've only died to exploding vehicles twice so far. The first time was because I hadn't realized they would explode. The second was because I turned around to shoot someone who popped up behind me and while I waited for my health to come back after I killed him, the car exploded. My deaths have been surprisingly evenly split between grenades and bullets. Most of my bullet related deaths have been from not watching my back. The computer AI is surprisingly inept when it comes to watching your back. After all the guys that I've saved, you'd think that they would return the favour ever now and then...

theslug Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Lol yeah at first I tried the bumpers and I was doing really good but still not making it. So then I stayed by the ferris wheel and was finally able to beat it. Also I wanted to mention the flagrant killing of wild russian dogs. Pretty brutal but no remorse when you break their necks because they rip your throat out. Right now I'm in the missile base strokin mah launch codes There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noceur Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Hehe, the cars have a tendancy to catch fire and explode when I'm not looking. I steer clear of all cars in the game now, or shoot em up myself. Just like in real life. Anyway, I guess I don't have much choice but to go and play MotB now. ,_, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magister Lajciak Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I just finished the Mask of the Betrayer - one of the best CRPGs out there. I would recommend it to anybody with a penchant for CRPGs, but that is probably a bit superfluous on Obsidian Entertainment boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
