Uh that information dump would of explained why Jensen is with TF29. lol
Also this:
Attachements? I just got weapons and they seem to be the same except for a cosmetic design. Although thinking on it I think the 10mm Elite pistol has a bigger mag size.

Preorder stuff might be "one save only", but I just started a new game and "Elite Edition Tranquilizer Rifle" from my season pass was in "storage" even though I am actively using it in my current game that is 4h+ in.
I don't know if they changed something, but PC season pass DLC at least carries over multiple saves. So I guess that "one save only" -issue is console-only?
--edit: what is going on, tried getting credit chip out of there and it dissappeared and can't get in new game? Was it a glitch I experienced and I got extra tranq rifle?
--edit2:
Alright! Thanks for clearing it up

I think it's the consumables like the Praxis kits that are 1 time use only. It says so when you take it from storage to your inventory, for the weapons it says you can use them over multiple saves.

Was the Juggernaut Collective and Janus every referenced in HR? I know it was in the HR tie-in novel but I don't recall it being in HR proper. If that's the case I can see why some people may have a bit of a WTF about their introduction into MD.
So I spent quite a bit of time in the
building in the same area of the city as the TF29 HQs. I've explored most of the building but need a certain keycard to get to the last area I haven't been to. Does anyone know where the
is located? I'm also thinking maybe this is story related and I can't actually go down there yet.

Not knowing anything as of yet, I wonder if the Juggernaut Connective abbreviating to JC has any importance like a similar abbreviation did in Invisible War...
It was in DE: The Fall
That's one thing that bothered me in this game as well as Halo. Ok fine you can say that these stories were officially released for the public to follow but at the same time less people played The Fall or read the Halo novels than people who played Human Revolution or Halo 3.
I get that you have to cater a bit to the fans who spend time on other extra stuff but you also don't have to do it so much that you confuse the people who didn't. Because at the end of the day this game isn't a sequel to The Fall and Halo 4 wasn't a sequel to the books but rather a follow-up of the previous mainline console entry.
Also The Fall was pretty shit.
Edit: It was in Missing Link. Strange I forgot.

Yes, during the Missing Link mission.
Yes that one is story related.
The bank is incredibly fun to explore man, I've visited almost all the rooms except two (but I accessed contents of one of them in an alternate way without going to that room) and you actually need to search around the entire town to actually be able to get in those rooms and get the goodies.

Yeah, there is nothing wrong with bringing Juggernaut into this, especially since it's a cool concept and fits the setting. But they probably should have introduced the concept better to bring players up to speed.
Ah, I only just started playing TML for the first time after I replayed HR last week. Didn't finish before MD released though so I missed the reference.

The Juggernaut Collective was also in the Icarus Effect book. But the book wasn't particularly great, and who reads video game novelizations anyway?

Anyone know where you can buy/get a tranq rifle? I chose stun gun at the start but would love a tranq rifle as well.
CrichtonKicks
Member
Yeah, I read the book. I quite liked it. I'm a junky for DX lore and appreciated how seamlessly it fit in with the rest of the series. I thought it was good for burning through on a long plane ride and better than the Mitch Rapp style junk that friends keep trying to push on me.

Yeah it's at the end.
One of the characters has a conversation with Janus and talks about recruiting Jensen for the collective. They decide they can't for now because of Jensen's obsession and relationship with Megan Reed.
Another little thing that I wish they'd put more effort into is 'presence'. Switching between cover and first person still feels abrupt and not consistent where my mind thinks Jensen is.
Also still no physical hands when interacting with doors or items on the ground or touchpads or anything. Hovering stuff was fine when half life 2 came out. not so much now imo.
Definitely didn't help that i was playing Wolfenstein New Order recently. MachineGames/StarBreeze folks are masters getting the 'feel' right for fps.

There's a vendor on top floor of the building you live in, check with him. You might also find it in TF29 headquarters lying around.

Yeah, I'm a huge sucker for full body awareness stuff. Still it's tremendously improved in MD over HR since there is at least some of that stuff for mantling, big jumps, throws, etc.
In fact mantling is probably my favorite new feature. Makes traversal feel far more satisfying.
Speaking of which, I lover how much they expanded the story items stuff in your inventory. They are full modeled, can be zoomed and rotated, etc. There seem to be tons of them, too. Really neat attention to detail.
Can you imagine how annoying it would be to see a pick up and open animation for everything in a long game like this? Wolfenstein didn't let you pick up random things and open stuff it didn't do pick up animations for weapons, armour and health packs either, so it had little stuff to animate in the first place.
The switching to cover bit is an issue that will persist in any FPS game, that also uses third person perspective too, as long as games use different rigs for third person and first person. Star Citizen is the only game I've seen that uses the same rig for both TPS and FPS meabibg the way your character animates in first person is exactly the same animation that plays when in third person and that causes additional issues. And I think they had to do a lot of work to get that working.
Hey guys, a couple of early game, first hub world, questions:
I just flew from Praha to the next city, I believe it was called Golem City. Did I just totally miss out on going to investigate the David Seriff side quest? Or will I be able to travel back to Praha and do that later?
Thought it was just me. Happens every time and takes a good minute to unfreeze.
The game also crashed when I finished the first set of breach levels and got a praxis kit to use in the main game. That has now just vanished into thin air (it's not in my L2 storage in main game)
To the left of the book store very early on in the game is a wall you can punch through. There's a tranq rifle and battle rifle in there.

Man, that vendor got pissed at me when I took all his beer. Kicked me out and now I'm no longer welcome.
Great, thanks man!
Loving the game so far. I was a huge fan of HR, so it's good to be back in Adam's shoes haha

It's not that Jensen's situation is not explained, it's that there's no buy-in to make me care about any of this stuff. The Jensen of HR was a corporate lapdog who forged grudging bonds with his colleagues. To be told that, after the aftermath of the first game's events, he basically dropped contact with all of them to go play hero elsewhere in the world is somewhat jarring. He doesn't have a personal vendetta against the Illuminati--even the ex he thought was dead is fine--so to uproot himself in the name of global altruism doesn't really follow.
Put him to sleep and steal his shit from locker.Man, that vendor got pissed at me when I took all his beer. Kicked me out and now I'm no longer welcome.

Silly question, on the PS4 and am having sound issues. I can't hear when somebody speaks to Jensen, any ideas?
CrichtonKicks
Member
The only colleagues in HR that he would be on reasonably good terms with is Pritchert. Maybe Sarif but that's stretching it. And both are well accounted for in MD.
Well there's Malik to but that's obviously a different situation.
And of course he has a vendetta- the attack that nearly killed him was linked to their schemes.
The voices come through the speaker on the dual shock controller. Is there a setting you've turned off for that, maybe?
Simo

Keep playing. There's more to the story that explains that and what happened to Jensen in the 2 years between games and why he joined the Collective.
There's also the fact that if you go speak to Sarif at the end of HR you can see Jensen doesn't give much of a fuck about him, but he does give a fuck when it comes to the illuminati. Which is why his reaction to Sarif at start of MD is in line with his character.
He also would have had a fall out with Megan, after their conversation in the white room. Malik, I guess is dead canonically unless she shows up later in DLC sequel. Plus Jensen also spends a yesr unconscious and wakes up with an amnesia.
You'll find out stuff in the game that will explain a lot of things.

If you're not using subtitles I recommend turning them on. It'll translate what people say in Czech.

Thanks! I have my sound on zero by default! All sorted now

That was fun while it lasted.
Some tutorial message is stuck on the screen after completing the sequence and it never goes away. I tried going back to an save 1 hour back but same issue =/

You can also choose to have it come out of your TV speakers instead.
I believe there's also an option to switch the output from the controller speaker to your TV in the game's options.

She's alive. Jensen reminisces about her and toys with the idea of trying to find her in the new Black Light novel and in your apartment in the bedroom, there's a floor panel that can be opened with a care package and e-books from Pritchard and also one for Malek where it says the Collective is getting her passes in order so she can come to Europe to join Jensen.

Why would he be estranged from Sarif? Jensen was doing his bidding for 90% of the first game, out of a combination of loyalty and gratitude for saving his life. Nothing about the ending changed that relationship; why would it be strained now?
The other big question mark is Megan--he learned his ex wasn't actually dead for the past few months, and he doesn't speak to her again after jetting off to the arctic to save the world?
I'm not saying he has no motivation to "do the right thing", but nothing about the Illuminati's schemes were personal in a way that would cause him to drop everything else.
Thanks, this is what I was looking for.
Did you not have the conversation with Sarif at the end of HR? Also the fact that he involved in an experiment without his consent (not the augmentations as thatbwas in his clause).

Hey it was a good read! Also the free novella has been decent so far, same author, and talks about how Alex Vega joined the Collective.
