In Giza and had to do a big mission in the giant Nazi compound, is there a better way to open the padlocked little chests or only via a gun? Anyway, 100 dead nazi's later and a free compound to explore.

You can hit them with a held weapon, your little white dot turns red when you aim at the padlock

It's funny as I accidentally did this last night, just belted the case. I had tried it before though and it didn't work so must be an angle thing, a weapon type thing or I am stupid.

I think I can answer that one.

I hadn't even noticed them until your post and then started smacking them. Was wondering how you'd ever get enough money to buy all the things.

Just did the bit after Gizeh last night, man this game is epic, haven't played anything like it in a while. It doesn't do anything new, but it's all so well made and just hits.

Agree, having great fun with it.

God damn I've been so busy these past few months, I'm behind on everything. But for anyone who cares, he's my 7.5/10 review.

Seems about fair.

Have only watched people play it but that’s where I’d sit in terms of the score.

Positives - story great, voice acting superb, environments are good and does well to compliment the indiana jones world in the nazi era. The side missions and commitment to those stories being meaningful is commendable.

Negatives - combat seems too easy and game not challenging enough, not the right balance between exploration and action scenes. Obviously not talking on an uncharted level but Indiana Jones films have some memorable scenes that are entirely reliant on action set pieces. Also the Indiana Jones animation is very Bethesda - his eyes remind me of when he was briefly brainwashed in temple of doom - not much life in there, Harrison Ford’s eyes are full of character.

They have done a great job and would be very surprised if there isn’t a sequel.

Have really only just started this but going with an early whinge.

Surely just pressing x is enough of an interaction. No need for x then a L stick down to open a draw.

Same unlocking doors. Right on the d pad. X on the door. Left on the stick. Just x will do pls.

Grow up.

I've done a fair bit of Egypt now. The most annoying thing is probably the nazi dog packs roaming around but they aren't really hard, just more of a pest.

The next half of the game is much tighter and better

Good to hear. I've just reached the Himalayas after 100%-ing the Vatican and Gizeh, and while I'm enjoying the game I'm getting a bit burned out on collecting everything.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Has anyone actually burned all the propaganda posters? They don't count toward 100% but they give xp

I'm up to Sukhothai.

Well I think my run with this game over. Was tidying up the Egypt stuff before moving and I think I've now locked myself in a tomb. Can't find a way out. Leaving Egypt and coming back just puts me in the same spot.

Edit: and I'm a ****ing idiot. Immediately after posting that I see the hand holds I've been spending the last 30 minutes looking for.

That temple/water mission was great. Heart was racing a bit in those parts where you are evading the you-know-what.

The boss fight with Locus after that while wading in knee-deep water was pretty poor though, not sure who thought that was a good idea given you can barely move.
