Just picked this game up for PS3 and I love it. Its like Spawn met up with the chick from Mirrors Edge and then some how fused with the guy from Prince of Persia then you multiply all that by ten and you get this god like character called Alex. I suggest that anyone who can get this for console do that instead cause its a great console game to own. The plot seems a lil cliche and it kind of reminded me of spiderman for some reason but other then that the senseless killing and feeling of New York being your playpin is freaking awesome.

Has anyone found a way to force your way into a base? They have them full of sensors now and there's no way for me to consume the commander, lose the pursuit, and enter inside of two minutes. I can't disable more than one sensor without the base going on alert so I think the only way I can do it through forced entry.

what i tend to do, is steal a tank/chopper and blow one or two up, then retreat and hide/change back into my army suit.

then i sneak back in again, blow up any i missed. Rinse and repeat til all your sensors are gone, unless its one or two you can just disable.

It is possible to do it via stealth, it just takes too long.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

There's three sensors on the ground and two in the air. I have a 3 minute time limit from the moment it is accepted (takes at least a 40 seconds to get there usually). There isn't enough time to guerilla attack because there's always a helicopter in the area (no place to hide). I think it would take too long to run in, disable one, run back out, wait until it cools down, run in, disable another one, etc. That also wouldn't do any good against the sensors that are flying.

By the way, this is the last of the medium difficulty consume missions.


I drew the flying sensors away and threw a car at it--instant red alert.

 

[Mussels]

maybe wait til you're levelled up, and more powerful? i can one hit kill tanks with a flying attack now.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I have all the powers maxed except blade power (one is still locked), all movement maxed, all survivability maxed, only 7 missing from combat, only 1 disguise still locked, all vehicle, and all but one in weapony. All the events I have available were completed to gold ranking.


I managed to do it with 1 minute to spare. Here's what I did...
1) I went to a nearby tall structure to observe moments inside the base. I was trying to locate the commander but didn't see him. I had a Blackwater suit on from starting the consume mission.
2) One of the flying sensors was getting awfully close so I backed off and by accident, fell off the building. I immediately started to glide into the base.
3) Moments before getting close to the commander, the base lit up like a Christmas tree. For some reason, there was a rocket launcher sitting nearby. I picked it up and started firing at the closest sensors in the corner and ended up destroying a helicopter in the process along with sensor.
4) I high tailed it out of the base and sprinted around a corner changing back to Alex's normal apperance.
5) Luckily, no one saw me change so I was clear of pursuit. I switched back to the Blackwater guard suit and ran up the building and over to where I started.
6) I again ran into the base, found the commander, got behind him, and consumed him. This was from the side that had the sensor destroyed so my bar didn't fill near as fast. Once he was consumed, I made a straight line for the door and entered.

The commander was right where I needed him both times (next to the door) and the helicopters didn't follow a very close pursuit like they usually do. I think I got mad lucky.

All you have to do is to grab the commander while running. The base will turn red, but keep running up to a building, dispatch the choppers that come after you and then the meter will go down pretty quick. Run into the base and quickly enter the base.

 

[kurosagi01]

pretty much what zehnsucht said,what i do is quickly go in and when the commander is on his own,grab him then consume him quick then run off somewhere so the heat wave thing goes down then go in disguise and walk in normally

I tried this twice so far and I screwed up both times. The first time, I ran through and who I thought was the commander wasn't. To give you an idea of how insanely difficult this is, the sensors sounded the alarm before I escaped the other side and I didn't touch anyone while in a Blackwatch suit. The second time, I decided there's no way I'm going to be able to run safely without getting hit by a rocket. So I stopped right next to an Abrams and started to consume the commander. Before I could finish consuming, a rocket hit me. I'll keep trying though. Maybe I'll find the magic combination.

 

[ShadowFold]

Alright. Time to do this.. Just bought it off of steam. Should be done in an hour.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Third time. This time I barely made it past the enterance before the sensor alarm sounded. I grabbed and immediately consumed the commander but by then, the strike team were on me (which you can't evade unless you killed all the Apaches). By the time I destroyed them, my time expired 30 seconds ago and I was far away from the target.


This is now the hard consume difficulty. I think I'm going to try sabatoging one, consuming the commander (by then, they'll be on to me), and then attacking another sensor. Once two are disabled/destroyed, I'll flee and try to hide from the helicopter that is always there. I can then casually go in (the sensors will sound but not enough of them to trigger an alarm).


I still wish there was a way to force entry. It's easier to kill all the guys inside than deal with the helicopters and tanks outside.

Did you do a stealth consume?

 

[kurosagi01]

i'm on chapter 4 mission 3 now,i really like this game since it reminds me of spiderman 2 on ps2

 

[mlee49]

I love this game. I cant help but do the side missions because they are so fun!

 

[kurosagi01]

i've got the hulk hands lmao they do so much damage on those big lurkers or something

The base alarm sounds long before you can do a stealth consume.

I just completed another one. First I disabled the viral detector on the roof then I did the one on the left that is outside of the base walls. I then went for the commander but, before I reached him, the base was on alert. Regardless, I ran up to him grabbed him, and immediately consumed him. I then ran like the wind, went into a small alley, changed disguises, and lost the helicopter. Stupid me, I changed disguises too quick and found myself with a strike force on me. I quickly went around another corner and changed disguises again losing them (turns out you can change disguises to lose the strike teams so long as there isn't a sensor drone on you). I then ran for the door as fast as I could and entered with less than five seconds to spare.

These missions were pretty easy until about the 7th medium difficulty consume mission.



Musclemass is really only good for chucking stuff (very effective against bosses). Blade is definitely the best choice most of the time.

Gah why is the sound so low? I can barely hear anything.. Just checked, my sound is maxed out and everything. Anyone else get this?

Apparently that only happens on pirated versions

j/k no idea

It is a common problem for everyone. I +15 dB my headphone to compensate. Whenever something in the background makes a noise (like Pidgin), it about makes me deaf. They really need to fix it.


I finished the game on normal. You can keep playing after the credits scroll. Some of the events aren't even available until after you finish it.

Something tells me it isn't over yet...

 

[ShadowFold]

How did you +15 dB your headphones??

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS has everything at maximum (especially the wave source) with the master at 50%. My Klipsch speakers have a display of +/-x dB (0 to +80 dB) on the control box. Usually my headphones are at +25 dB. I had to turn it up to +40 dB in order to be more than a whisper.

My headphones are cheap $25 Sony MDR-XD200 I got off Newegg. The main reason I got them is because it has like 6m cord.

 

[Easy Rhino]

hook into the hive mind my ass. this is retarded. after you consume the first guy you go the military base and consume a commander to enter the base and then you kill some guys and get some upgrades and then you consume another infected guy but it doesnt point me to anywhere. i hate having to restart the entire part, especially after ive destroyed everything.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Inside the base, open up the disguise menu and consume the targets from behind. If someone will see you do it, the menu will just close and you have to wait a second or two before you can open and try again.

You can start a war in there but it is infinitely more difficult.

I am not certain if I'm following which mission you're on though.



Things they need to fix:
-Maximum volume.
-Audio glitches (crackles).
-Make the body of a tank control independent of the turret (this makes running and gunning unnecessarily difficult).
-After blowing up a hive or two with the thermobaric tank, it vanishes when the cut scene stops (you just stand there like the tank never existed).

Bah, there's more but I can't think of it now.
