Almost got it right: [/spoiler]
Thanks.
btw, teh funny was during the last scene in the game, where you have to jump into the hellicopter. I waited till it got closer, forgot I had the super double jump, and jumped right over the hellicopter while the blades cut into me.
I just got it last night. I haven't played it yet but I watched my friend play the piss out of it, zoning myself out during story bits. It looks really fun, even though the aiming looks awful. I'll post my impressions after I get some playtime in.
I'm still trying to get on the elevator out of "Sanctuary", man those rocket launcher guys are a bitch.
I ended up running away for most of that g0zen. And after I got the jeep near the second group of soldiers, driving. Head for the green glowing door at the base of the elevator btw; you don't have the key card for the exit to the side yet. That worked pretty well.
I got to "game over." So it was sort of all a dream, and I'm still mad that the opening cinema chose every moment that hinted at that to include. Had they happened over the course of 10 hours and not one minute it would have been much less obvious. I like the time traveling twist though. Somehow the fact that Alex died so long ago makes it suck even more. And the fact that I'd seen the room you're in after they wake you up (but in the past) was cool.
But pretend the twist hasn't happened yet and I'm fighting Solus thinking it's the last boss. I'm trying to better understand the story. There's Nexus, Sanctuary, the Army guys, the scientists, the T'lans... How does this all work? Many years ago Sanctuary/Nexus was built as an artificial habitat and discovered by mankind in "present" (ignoring the time travel). The army took over the operation in hopes of building a super soldier, but the operation was largly a failure. The native beings of Nexus (the T'lans) at some point got lose or appeared or something, causing the army to decide to scrap the project and kill everyone envolved. It turns out the T'lans have a plan to rocket themselves throughout the world, so the Army kicks it up a notch and calls in the WMD. Gianni's plan is to take down the Silos from inside so that they wouldn't have to drop the bomb on Yokohama. It fails when he is killed. Before nuking though, the army wanted the data gathered during all the research, now held by Stefani - who took it after they cancled the project in hopes of continuing her research. After getting that, Operation No-Return begins, theoretically destroying the remaining T'lans.
Is that anywhere close to accurate? I've had some trouble piecing together the whole thing. I also forget what happened to Glen. If you do answer please don't including anything from the game post wake up. I only played five seconds of that and I don't want to know what happens :).
What I wanted to say to you earlier was that I didn't watch the opening cinema (I started to but once I saw it was just a game trailer I figured they'd be showing off cool parts and so I waited to see it until after I'd beaten it) and didn't read the manual so I missed all the hinting at the story's twist. Shame you were witness to all of it. :/
I think you've got most of the story right, I'll confirm it later when I feel like thinking. There's still some more to be revealed (smaller stuff, though).
The trailer you unlock was pretty cool. I wonder if it was all CG, though, since everything is like twice as smooth as in the game. It could've been something they did to the video, I guess.
I think they just made some better models for the promo videos, it's not like half the scenes even display the proper settings for the characters.
Holy God, I'm there right now. Hardest, ever. It took me half an hour to even reach the last batch of baddies. And that's the challenging part. This is such a great game, but the dev team made some really bizarre choices. This one is the most annoying yet. Checkpoints between the battles would've been the perfect difficulty, but as is it's just frustrating. If I can beat it tomorrow within a few tries I'll take it back but it doesn't seem likely. Hopefully your tip will help.Quote:
