Any word on difficulty settings/options? I've read in reviews that it might be easier than the original, which would probably make it an insta-pass for me.

What the good sir above me meant to type: Would you please be so kind as to enlighten me further, as I can´t seem to understand fully.
Thank you! Yours - JackQ xoxo

I'm waiting for nostalgia glasses to fall off in reviews. I like the base building aspect of the original but the mission part was always meh and weird.

Explain. |
She is after as much recognition and spotlight as possible, to the point of starting drama with Repackers cause they got thanked for releases instead of her.
She also got mad at a poster on Crackwatch cause they didnt include her name in the Title even though it was against the rules to do so. Overall she seems to care a lot about getting Fame for cracking those games so im not sure a smaller title like this would spark any interest in her. |
It's more about money than ego, the problem was that repackers were receiving much more donations than the actual person that was cracking the games lol.

I'm playing on Medium, still quite early on, and while I was doing the first Roboticist henchman story she managed to wipe out my base twice, mostly because I'm concentrating on social minions so I can bamboozle the agents before they even reach the main operation, but she was using hard to kill robots that exploded on death, so it was a clusterfuck, that was only saved by Eli's heavy-hitting ranged ability.
I was also raided by my first super-agent, she popped into my vault with a squad of heavy hitting thieves, and tried to walk out with my gold. The fight spread to my inner sanctum and had to reload because my genuis was killed. Eli was just coming out of a heavy session of smooth-talking agens at the front so he was low on morale, and had to send him for a bit of a breather REAL fast after I reloaded so I could use his ability so save my hide again.
So if you're ill-prepared, it can smack you around even on medium. These moments seem to be few and far between, but I still managed to get my ass handed to me.
It's also a good idea to keep an eye on the casino. Soldier agents cannot seem to be tagged for distraction like investigators (makes sense), so they keep getting in and start shooting once past the casino. And if the minions are slowly trickling in from all over the base, the concetrated fire can cause some serious damage. Again, henchmen deal with soldiers REAL quick, but that requires you to know they are coming and have them ready and able to use their damage dealing abilities.

It feels like heat management is more important now. Also, don't let investigators escape with evidence either.

The way I deal with soldiers is to use Ivan's rocket launcher and just wipe them out. Investigators are finicky, they can disguise themselves as your henchman and get to places they shouldn't.

Well, was mixed on steam but recent was a lot more positive so maybe that's coming from players after they patched it? People rarely go back and didn't their reviews once things are fixed

unfortunately, game has no replayability like 1st game, they put to much stuff in game, more does not mean better in some cases like in this case, i mean game is not bad, but later in game game became little overwhelming that you just give up and dont care about stuff and speed up the game. Less is way more.

Seriously.
I just played this for like 4-5 hours yesterday, holy fuck it sucks ass.
The first hour or 2 is fun when you're unlocking shit. After that, it's fucking pointless to do ANYTHING. I couldn't build vaults and shelves fast enough to the point where I just stopped fucking trying. Outside building a couple big rooms and SOME equipment being around 30K, having anything over a 250K is pointless because there's nothing to spend it on. Room excavation is the only thing that really costs a lot of money and when you're sitting on 750K on a non stop basis, it's pennies. Take over all the continents within 3 hours and you never run out.
There's nothing to do other than stupid side missions. Every continent has these missions you can do that....just makes you more money or rewards you minions. The story part of it is.....you get a cutscene for something, then you just click an icon on the map and send minions to collect it. That's it. Once you have the money, there's no other fun varying missions that are risky or whatever. It's all automated trash.
The AI is even fucking worse than the first one. Security serves 0 purpose in this game and literally doesn't do anything, at all. All enemy AI will get in your door, immediately disable traps, walk in your doors and just walk on by your guard posts with 0 issue. I have the upgraded guard stands that keeps guards at my entrances on rotation, there's always someone by, so investigators, saboteurs, whatever all just walk in looking suspicious as fuck. I even watched them disable a trap in view of a camera. Nothing. The ONLY time anyone responds to them is if they're military coming in with their guns, or if you tag them. Which you can do easily because they arrive by the same little black speed boat in the same area with the same notifications in the top right. Just tag them to die and go do something else and they'll get gunned down the moment they step in your facility. Which also doesn't matter where they die because if guests see it, they just run away scared. There's no penalty for watching government agents getting gunned down in a casino.

worst shit in game that you have to find intruders and tagged them, without tagging security will do nothing.
