Where is Sal´s Bar?

[Praesi]

Hi.


I enjoy the Game, but the constant searching for the hidden random stuff to advance is reducing the fun.
Or maybe im just stupid. In this case, can someone please tell me where the ♥♥♥♥ Sal´s bar is?

Thx.

Just keep playing, you can't miss it. It's a big main story area so as long as you keep moving forward you'll reach it eventually.

[Stoomkracht]

Same. Where is it? Walking around forever. You don't just reach it, it seems... library, Saleco street level, blue zone, whatever.

pagb666 has a all secrets walkthrough. Don't know how he did it without inside knowledge or serious work of map inspection. It's also a problem when you just want to know how to proceed because so much secrets filling.

Anyway, again a case of a tiny button somewhere easily missed. You have to drag an electric battery all the way to the office above the streets. Then in the corner next to the door is a tiny interactive button you need to press. Sigh... design fault. Again, interactive crucial item hidden in other green junk. That whole room should just light up JUST by plugging in the battery devs! I have serious suspicion about civvie praising this game way over the top to heaven. After pressing the tiny green button, you can open the gate in another nearby room. Which says security systems and not OPEN DOOR. And you will hear it but not see it happening when you don't watch through the window next to that monitor. And prepare for an unfair massive fight.

Btw seems that battery can explode too by enemy fire... Then you are just stuck.

No. A broken Power Cell respawns and is shown on the map.

Pabg666 had no insider knowledge, many people are able to figure out how to move forward by following green lights and using a map.

Selaco isn't going to hold your hand. If you prefer easier navigation, this game is not for you. Not being able to see a button with a big green light on it is not a "design fault".

Sigh, these kind of comments on critique don't help. Up to you dev. I'm not a newbie and grew up with classic shooters (and C&C and some point and click). On normal mode btw. I don't feel like getting perrrrfect at games. It is just entertainment after all.

Another design mistake... those flying bastards that blow up after shooting. You stand no change at close range. But yeah... whatever. I keep playing a bit to see what it has to offer more. Design is also too dark and same same overall. No colour (neon and gray, and blue and smoke), no variation, no contrast. IMHO ofcourse.

Btw the tiny green button is right next to green other thingies... that power cell should just power up the room... just like it did in a previous level.

I'm pretty sure we had this thread already. Sal's Bar is literally a level and even has big ass neon lettering that sats Sal's Bar. You can reach it after playing through the game.

This is most definitely a ragebait thread and as I said in the comment above, it is literally a level you or ReformedJoe made.

I didn't make this level, but had zero difficulty beating it and finding my way through.

I had little bit of difficulty finding the button to lower the wine rack until I looked under the bar but other than that I didn't really find any significant difficulty going through the game

Wine rack confusion is fair, it's more of an artifact due to the lack of voice acting. Dawn knows where it is, she visits the place often, so the player is meant to be told where it is

[Stoomkracht]

Uhuh

Also please (don't) ignore the too dark comments like trepang2 did (especially on consoles, no gamma slider there apparently). Please test on good monitors that actually display black and shades of black instead of visible gray.

Well after the kind-off-half-boss again stuck. At least the path back is blocked this time. Ah silly me. Somewhere something has to be pressed probably.

Yup the so called heavy barrel has to be moved and somehow mr pagb knows exactly where rrrright away xD. So it wasn't even locked off on purpose.

This kind of stuff you mostly just don't see at the major publishers now and past too because they play test stuff and adjust and know what the average player wants. Agree modern times it's too much handholding btw

How do people miss the giant building that says SAL after it literally says LVL 3-3 SALS BAR to declare that this level is Sals bar?

The big fight beforehand, when I saw that there was a heavy gate in the way forward and there was a heavy barrel. I assumed I'd need to use it to move forwards. But you don't even have to. There are a lot of cases around you can use to build a path forwards. How did people even play HL2 back in the day?

HL2 is very, very sequential. At most an illusion of freedom which is quite obvious for anyone with some experience. No way to get lost actually on how to proceed. This, however.

Right here bro
