Am I playing Mirrors Edge or did I accidentally boot Battlefield?

Finally got to the ship level, got onto a lorry and burst out onto the level where apparently the city's military decided to ship some SWAT along with the mysterious packages.

I mean, you know, I was under the impression I was playing a parkour game. Not a first person shooter, and a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ one at that.

Hey, maybe DICE should hire Valve's playtesters. Maybe then we wouldn't have such a badly designed combat system.

Um... Excuse me? x.x

[J4TV]

ok?

[Daddy-Salami]

lol? most chapters you can do without even getting a gun in your hands..

The game does suck with the interaction of any combat, more-so with weapons and it's been reviewed as such, many times.

Having the local authorities instantly attacking a young female that's not armed, no armor, and just trying to deliver a package/message is, pretty lame. There's a mod fix for that here somewhere, that takes out all the dumb stuff.

I found this: http://steamcommunity.com/app/17410/discussions/0/558754259264170492/ but apparently it makes you unable to progress past some parts of the game???

I'll give it a go anyway.

Nooo, mod makes my game crash.

I can't get cheats working either, let me just turn on god mode. All I want to do is just finish the game before the prequel comes out.

They dont want valve's playtesters. theyre the reason half life 2 is so damn easy lol

[Sparkle]

Maybe I'm just really damn bad at video games (heck, STILL haven't finished this game and I've had it for a year and a half), but HL2 took me forever to finish.

Yes, it is pretty "lame". But that's kind of the point in-universe. If you actually bother to go through the plot, you'll know what is going on. *The Fact That The Local Authorities Are Attacking You Without Mercy IS. A part of the Plot.*

As for combat, rule of thumb is simple: just don't do it unless you're facing Red-Blues (Red marked enemies you have to defeat).

Yes, I completely ignore that rule of thumb and like knocking out every one I can, but that's just me. For those who are not into the combat system, stear the heck clear and just get away. That's what this game is about.

Yep, I remember thinking the exact same thing. There's also a hilarious glitch that lets ypu skip the boat. It's hilarious because thats the name of the chapter: Chapter 7: The Boat XD

You learn to just beat enemies one at a time. Slide kick, followup, slide kick. It's silly but becomes tolerable.

I know another glitch that let's you skip the two fights in the boat chapter

And if you thought ME was glitchy like I did, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CY5E_VauWuw

No problem! I also found them a big help, so a (random enough) shout out to Ovendonkey for these. That last one was me searching through the playlist and thinking 'why not?' about linking it. Enjoy!
