Are you sure it supports multichannel audio in games? I think it only does Dolby Digital encoded audio as multichannel, but I don't think it has a built-in encoder.

Just beat the game and I have a couple of questions guys.

 Spoiler:
 


Fun game. I am so glad I blew off that high school camping trip reunion thing in favor of beating the game over the weekend.

And yeah, it's hard for me not to be Pistol CQC Stealth agent on my replay. Too much fun. I'll try replaying on easy and not use any armor. Just the civilian outfit.

Hi,

I am just starting with this game. Can anybody give me advice which weapon skill is the best to spend points?
There are too many skills to maximize them all so what weapon is the best? I would prefer some sniper rifle skill or something like that, but I am not sure what may be the best to choose for that...

thanx

Did you install ALchemy and then add APGame.exe and APLauncher.exe to the list? Aside from that, I have no working knowledge of GPU-onboard audio.
I will try some more. Dont think I used it right. And I dont know the Device Name it wants to hear...

Thats why I got this card. It has a full fledged HDMI output, not like the Nvidia cards, that only accept SPDIF signals internally and passes it through.
This card and any other new ATI supports 8 channel LPCM 192Khz/24bit sound. So it does not need to encode anything.

The problem is the Unreal Soundengine that just does not want to render multichannel sound without Hardware OpenAL support or something. No other game uses crap like this anymore. So yeah, in every other new game it works Smile

Just stick with Assault Rifles and Toughness I suppose.

I find it's more fun to act like RE5 Albert Wesker and pick up Martial Arts with Toughness and some Pistols though.

So i just completed the game :]
I was an all assault guy - rifles, toughness, martial arts. Damn the whole game i felt like The Punisher Laughing

the things i did:
 Spoiler:
 



I must say i was somewhat dissapointed by the endgame mission.
Also the final ending presentation - just by audio during the end credits.. meh :[ I somewhat expected the overview of my choices to be chained more.. visually in the end. Also i think i had somewhat meh ending.

Now its time for round 2. This time - stealthy and merciful veteran Mike a la James Bond.. hm it would not be a full James Bond experience if one of my girls won't die tho..


Per aspera ad astra

So I didn't get a chance to see what it gave me, and more importantly - how did I get it. I wonder if anyone had it, and knows what's it about? It's not a big deal obviously, but I am just curious, since I didn't get it again on reload and I can't seem to find any info on it anywhere, which is odd.


You get it by "getting" 1000 points of damage without duying.

If you favor ranged, assault rifle is the best, if stealth, then pistol (due to silencer).

Submachines and shotguns are for close range. Submachine for massive ROF (dual wield!), shotguns for knockback effect.

I just did one of the first missions in saudi arabia, where i bought intel on extra weapons at Nasris place. When do i get them? There wasn't any change in my safehouse when i got back (i did relabel them in the mission).


You find them ON the mission, placed at various locations. A lot of time it's just some extra ammo or a few weapon mods, but sometimes you might find an a sniper rifle that has been placed at a strategic location.


But that wasn't the info @ the intel. They said that the stuff would be too heavy to carry and was going to be delivered to my safehouse.

Anyone know if Mina has a mission at the start in the Gray Box after you do weapons orientation?

Or do you need to meet a certain score or something?

If anyone cares, the Obsidian devs don't seem to be active much on the AP forums. Very unlike Obsidian, they were always surfing the forums for their previous games. Let's hope they'll give this some heavy patching like they did with their older games.

Finished on Recruit. Probably around 20-25 hours. I would of also liked to have some sort of end game stat summary, or more complete 'choice' overview. Oh well. Let's see what I can remember doing...

 Spoiler:
 


Overall
Story 9/10
Gameplay 7/10
Presentation 7/10

Really enjoyed it. But another case of Obsidian fucking themselves over with gameplay and presentation issues.
But I'm still going to do my Veteran run and do the exact opposite of my first run now.

The point of Recruit is to unlock Veteran which gives you Veteran speech options for the duration of the training! Oh shit... Sad

That was clearly explained when you chose the recruit/veteran option. At least if you read it ^^

Veteran and Recruit pop up now and then even after training though I've only seen both twice or so at most so it's not that common and I didn't choose it either time.

Isn't the point of recruit also to have a bit more challenge? Starting with zero skills as opposed to level 4 or 5 using one of the preset classes? That's why I chose it anyway.

I guess there's no way out, tried stopping guards from getting killed - same result. Oh well, just wasted my time redoing that mission 3 times. On the other hand, it turned out I missed some files before, so it's not a complete loss Smile
