@@ajfev1092 so I didnt actually learn how to build a computer? LTT PC build tutorial is a lie, and the computer that I built with its help is a figment of my imagination and doesnt actually work?
Well, sometimes I’ll go for stealth, but I’m more of a fan of going guns out and using my hacking abilities at the same time. And I love causing gang battles
@@Pl4sm4Ro4ch jt really does since you can get away eith anything by just spraying. that's why he prefers the first game due to its reputation system and the better hacking
@@honshuu except you can't...what game have you been playing. The hacking in this game is really in-depth and if used correctly makes you feel like you have super powers. If you're just spraying on the easiest difficulty what's the point?
@@a6pukoc113 I did a full stealth run too I redid that mission SO many times, determined to do that one stealth it took like an hour and a half and several pause menu reloads, but i DID do it
Or just flat out not kill people. The DLC's add 3 new stun-weapons, and even without them most missions you can just do with the jumper and patience. I'm to the point in the story where Horatio dies, and my kill count is literally the 4 people who you "neutralize" in that mission (I didn't realize stunning them counted)(we'll just ignore all the peds I run over in the streets, I'm sure they're fine). The cops, I only use in an emergency, or if I genuinely see someone commit a crime. I haven't even unlocked the gangs. It's pacifist to taze people, right?
@@hambo4579 no it isn’t lmao I was mad lazy and used my drone for I’d say 95% of the missions. I just wouldn’t even bother going into the restricted zone. There are some cases where u gotta attack people but other than that u can be a pacifist pretty easily
As much as I love Matto, watching him play mission-based games is torture enough to make the most strong-willed person talk. And I still love watching it!
Watching him play any game other than GTA 5 (and sometimes even gta 5) is painful. To give him credit though I'm pretty sure he's said he hardly played games before playing GTA so he doesn't have years of gaming skill to his name.
Hey Viper, you prob won’t read this but I just wanna say thank you for being so enjoyable to watch and for posting such long vids. I have stomach problems so most nights I can’t sleep and your vids really help me relax and fall asleep better:)
Sad to see Matt not diving deeper into the Mechanics of the game. Had he actually bought any of the upgrades in the Research App he would have easily went through this game and thoroughly enjoy both stealth and guns blazing.
Exactly, it really pissed me off towards the ends where he complains about the hacking being "shallow" and "not as good as the first game" when anyone who has given two shits about it knows it's much better
i love these playthoughs, the fact that you've got your entire lets play edited down into a podcast length video, and the editing is pre-loaded with jokes and memes. Thank you for these!
I love how unstealthy he plays, almost 8000 hours in a game where stealth is broken AF will do that to you lmao Toying around with drones and doing missions only with them is really fun. It pains me to see how you missed most of the hacking and in general quality of life hotkeys... you can call back drones before they're destroyed and you can skip the cooldown; you can press C while hacking an enemy to stun it and i believe open it to melee attacks; among the upgrades that dont require you to get a data key (i understand taking those isn't the most fun thing to do) you can find a mass hack that stuns EVERYONE in a wide area for a quick escape, you can detonate stun grenades and explosives with Y, while having them equipped Edit: I forgot, you can even call the cops on someone to have them arrested, or make a gang think they're a traitor so they send a death squad
Also the game punishes you for going in guns blazing by giving you low health but Matt didn’t get the memo and kept playing the game unstealthy and complains that the “game is bad”
@@lobaandrade7172 well the game is somewhat bad. From the story to some gameplay elements from the original watchdogs that they just overused (Ex. The hacking puzzle connection) in this game the mini game is just littered all over for filler.
@@reasons2live it’s not objectively bad, it’s subjectively bad, you don’t enjoy it but I can understand why. I for one played both games and while I still prefer the first over the sequel, I (and many others) enjoyed the variety of the sequel. And the puzzle that they “reused” was actually somewhat re-conceptualized for the sequel, as you have to traverse the environment or use drones/cameras to connect the blue lines while in the original you just stared at a screen to play the mini game. All in all it is a step up from the sequel in gameplay (story is a bit of a downgrade but that’s not why most people play) and it is really fun. But again I can see why you and others don’t like it
Honestly the AI, and how they interact, was the most fun thing for me when I played this game, my favorite pastime was calling the cops on some random bystander, then a gang death squad on the cops and just watching them battle it out. Seeing other random gang members run in from a street over, extra cops show up, the world just felt.....alive.
Matt really just used two abilities the whole game and then complained that he only used two abilities... I hope he knows that there more skills that he could've unlocked to help him and that the passive hacking wasn't the game, it was him never hacking anything or anyone
Yeah, this was pretty hard to watch. He's so bad at the game, doesn't use the skill system, doesn't buy good weapons and then wonders why its so "hard". Even when I first played the game (was 15 years old) I never really had a problem.
It honestly felt like on stream he was engaging with a lot of the game's mechanics in bad faith. He'd occasionally "try" other strategies in the form of one poorly thought out attempt, before returning to stubbornly brute forcing the same playstyle and wondering why the game is frustrating.
Besides Rockstar, Watch Dogs 2 is one of the best open world maps in terms of it actually feeling alive. The little details like people playing music on the streets for example is really cool
I know the other day saw a woman beating car infront of some one and saying to him that what you get for cheating on me And saw two lost tourist in golden gate bridge and people walking their dogs homles people sleeping on the side walk The detail in this game is awsome sadly it didn't get the props it deserves
the fact that he doesn't use any of the mass disruption abilities or the distract hacks whenever he's in the middle of melee really irks me because that's how I played the game and how it's really meant to get you out of those situations where you have no mobility
"oh I'm sorry I thought I was playing watchdogs 1, a game with a good hacking system" Proceeds to barely use any of the hacking abilities, which are expanded in utility a good bit from the first game.
I had the exact opposite experience with this game. Might be that I'm more tolerant to cringe, might be that I like stealth or it might be that I played with a controller. Either way I'm sad to see Matt didn't enjoy it
@@punk5585 exactly. I mean he did call the cops and a gang on someone, so clearly he must’ve seen the skill tree but totally ignored the things he complains about lacking (like stopping helis, mass distraction and many other things that would made it so much easier)
1:15 is a completely accurate reaction to a car alarm, who actually thinks "CAR ALARM? Someone is breaking into my car!" that is right nobody since car alarms happen all the time
In my opinion the thing that brings joy to this game is the side missions and the skill tree, like for real the side missions are mostly fun and then the skill tree lets you fuck around in freeroam causing chaos. I personally enjoyed the open world more than the missions, just like in gta 5.
1:59:35 “ I found your guy, someone with a double masters degree in buisness” Me (A loyal DViper fan): “sounds like someone who doesn’t know how to tie his shoes”🤔😂🤣
@Sean Bryan same. I play on console and I’ve probably played this game 7 times over lol and never had a problem. The occasional takedown bug or enemy glitch sure but nothing as bad as that. Pc has to be the issue
Everyone has different play styles. You go in sneaky, he goes in loud. And for this most part I’m pretty sure some of his complaints were somewhat valid
@@reasons2live I don't think that was entirely the issue, he didn't even care to know that you CAN hack helicopters, you just need to unlock it. He also said it was passive hacking, but he didn't once disrupt comms or do a mass hack.
Okay, i love Matt, i really do, and i love when he plays other games. But not other games that are open world games. He's so used to GTA that if any open world game doesn't play like GTA he gets mad at it while it's clearly his fault playing guns blazing when it is clearly a last resort and not how the game should be played. He prefers WD1 because it plays more like GTA.
Well if he only has fun playing a game a certain way then playing it “the way it was meant to be played” would be pointless because he wouldn’t be having fun.
If the game has guns, Matt should be able to go in guns blazing and succeed. If the game punishes him for using the tools it gave him to try to complete the objective, he has every right to be frustrated and angry. You should be able to walk in and shoot everyone. The game is about hackers; as long as you hack the objectives, it shouldn't matter how you dispatch the enemies and forcing you to be stealth is not fair play.
It's so sad that Matt doesn't know that Ubisoft makes mostly stealth oriented games... Whoever talked Matt into playing this did him a disservice, as it's really not a game meant to be played fast, but to take your time and pick off targets 1 by 1, or use your drones to not have to set foot in a restricted area at all... The checkpoint system is actually INTENDED (stupid as it is...) to make you restart an entire section. It's to make sure that whatever time you might save by just going guns blazing and have a 50/50 chance of dying, DEFINITLY sets you back more time than just taking it slow from the start, playing the game the way the developers intended. Rockstar is a bit more lenient with checkpoints, but instead just fails you in a lot more ways between them to make up for that, and to guide the player... Ubisoft games are their own thing, just like Rockstar games are. Expecting no insanely long stealth and puzzle sections in a Ubisoft game is like playing GTA 5 and expect a 3+ age rating, or Bethesda games to not be riddled with bugs! So if Matt intends to play other open world games, i STRONGLY suggest that anything from Ubisoft be disqualified, as they simply don't work with how he enjoys playing games it seems...
GtaV is made so that even a 5year old can know what to do. This game actually requires some planning so I get the struggles, Matto is just not used to this
@@justrandomstuff6828 Yeah, watch dogs 2 is made differently. It’s more stealth oriented, while Watch dogs 1 isn’t. Makes me regret never buying Watch dogs 1, I’ve seen gameplay and it looks amazing.
@@darkhorsed Shit at explaining, perhaps, though I had no problem figuring out what each upgrade does, how to disable sensors, how to non-lethally stealth through encounters, how to get access keys etc. And I played it on console, I should have a worse experience. And the game is definitely not shit at everything, the sceneries are nice and there's a lot of small stuff to do and overall it's not a bad stealth game. I even stealthed in and out of the final encounter, both non-lethally
@@yaman7008 yeah it seems alot of people don't understand the concept reading descriptions. It's like complaining you can't beat any of the souls game without dodging your first play through. Its just ridiculous.
"Oh, I thought I was meant to be killed here." You're a speed runner, I'd expect nothing less. But as you discovered, that's not the proper place for a death warp. :-P
This man beat the entire game running past people shooting at him and not busting up their comms even once, surely there's an achievement for something like that
Watching Matt play this game was like seeing a kid enter a room full of toys and just start banging his head against a wall, and then when he gets told that's not what he should be doing he picks up one of the toys for a second, then drops it and goes back to hitting his head against the wall. Love you Matt but this was so painful to watch. P.S. I almost lost it when he said the hacking was more restrictive and that he felt powerless... NO SHIT MATT! Who knew that running around like a headless chicken isn't a good tactic.
welcome to another episode of viper shitting on another one of my favorite games video was still enjoyable as always, especially when matt completely ignored the stealth option in missions lmao
It’s okay if you don’t wanna use stealth in the game since it’s your own choice, and glitches are definitely something to blame on the game 100%, but y’know whats really useful when your going guns blazing? Cover, and using your tech point abilities more often. Buying your own guns and ammo is also extremely useful. I completely agree that the puzzles in the game are a bore tho.
fun thing hacking the ecu of a car will let you override the base fuel injection and u sometimes can squeeze some extra power out since most modern cars are made to maximize fuel economy
Me basically the entire video: JUST UNLOCK THE THING! Seriously, you can unlock helicopter takedowns, buggy/drone mines, auto-sewer-explosions, and so much more. So much of your frustration was from NOT USING THE RIGHT TOOLS. Also there's a hotkey for mines, you don't need to target them. Love you, but dang this was hard to watch.
@@stOneh3ad That's fine, but he was SO ANGRY at so many points in the video because of something that was entirely his fault. Not having the drone in the missions where a drone was recommended, not being able to take down helicopters, not being able to set self-detonating sewers, all those things he COULD HAVE done, and wanted to, but he hadn't unlocked it. So much of his frustration, anger, and feelings of helplessness was because he didn't invest in the perks.
Matt: Chooses the most suboptimal way to play the game, doesn't bother to upgrade any of the equipment, fails repeatedly on basic missions because of it, doesn't use unlockable gadgets and powers: "This game is bad". Doesn't bother to upgrade and actually take any of the hacking powers: "The hacking is so much worse in this one, I have no powers" And to the "hacking is so much more passive here" - you still have the combat powers that make enemies distracted or stunned, even in combat, you just never used them for some reason and then complained that they don't exist. They do. You didn't like the game for its vibe and because of it you stopped learning about new mechanics, instead just trying to basically beat everything with a stick. And because playing the game without actually using the advanced tools is more difficult, it made you even more angry. Honestly you should have stopped mid-playthrough when you stopped enjoying it. I get that part of it was trying to break the game for comedic value, but it's just not as polished of a game as GTA5, so it doesn't withstand that much of a deviation from critical path solultions.
I will be honest with you, I did try stealth on effectively every mission. The tools were non-existent, I had unlocked everything possible. It is conceivable that if you did side stuff you'd have more available, or that there were tools hidden somewhere, but most of the missions were solved with just throwing a drone or buggy at it. That was the "stealth" in this game.
@@DarkViperAU There's one very big tool I've not seen you use once in the video - cellphone distraction - I don't think the game teaches you that properly, but that basically solves both stealth and combat. About to get discovered? Ping that guy's cellphone and he stops noticing you for like 10 seconds and you can sprint in front of them and they won't notice you. I believe they even stop shooting you if done in combat. The skill is called "Create Distraction" and it's the first skill in the Social Engineering tree. And if you level up drone and the buggy, they come equipped with EMP/Frag grenade of their own, so you don't even need to fiddle with them to take out swaths of enemies. The whole army fort mission at the end there took maybe a minute for me to just fly in, drop the auto-frags from a drone and leave. One of the first upgrades on the drone lets you see and mark people through walls, making the stealth trivial. One of the last upgrades in the combat tree makes your zap gun oneshot even armored enemies, making it a one shot hitscan tool for combat. One of the most expensive rifles in the game is an anti-materiel sniper rifle which one shots any enemy in the game. One of the vehicle hack upgrades makes helicopters just go away. Maybe it's the game's fault for assuming most people will upgrade most of the skill tree by that point in main missions, but if you do side stuff and upgrade your arsenal, the game becomes much more easier and makes you feel like a god. The problem is the game didn't grab you so you stopped caring about it and just wanted to brute force through the main story. And that's okay, it's okay to not like games. And yeah, the checkpoints were ridiculous, but I think what happened here is the playtesters also used their whole arsenal and didn't have to spend so much time slowly bruteforcing through the missions. I think you were trying to beat the game with minimum possible tools out of habit of speedrunning, trying to avoid going for unneccessary complications, but you have to have played the game (any game that is moderately difficult) for a while before you can do that succesfully.
@@DarkViperAU Another thing upgrades do is basically give you the power to make robot enemies die or fight on your side, forever and turn off any security device by just clicking on it. By the late game you just become a machine that goes around, clicks on stuff and taps enemies with a zap gun and everybody just falls asleep. Zap traps are amazing for indoor stealth/combat as I believe they do not make a sound, so that's an AoE disable for humans silently. The game doesn't highlight it much but when you have any object in the game selected, be it enemy, security device, robot, vehicle or a machine, there are 4 different options for almost any of them in the bottom right of the screen, and some of them are insanely powerful, like an option to just turn off all electricity for a few seconds, like in the first game (called System Crash: Blackout here). The tools are all here, but I believe for this and some other you even have to go specifically loot them as an in-game item (it says where to if you look in the skill tree)
@@DesolateFields He didn't even use the blackout ability also which can turn off most security system and in night time it can make people blind in dark.
2:38:30 I never would have thought about attaching bombs to the drones directly. Mainly because the upgrade to have drones drop bombs exists and makes the whole thing redundant, but still.
Loved playing through this game and fully completing it last year in the summer, was a glorious 3 weeks in July. Seeing this playthrough in just under *3 hours* is mind blowing tbh 😄

Not too hard to sleep when watching watch dogs 2, Matt is the only reason i’m still awake.
The fact that a guy with 8000 hours in GTA actively refused to buy the only suppressed weapons in a game about stealthy hacking is so damn infuriating
Matt once again plays GTA even though he's in a different game

Besides Rockstar, Watch Dogs 2 is one of the best open world maps in terms of it actually feeling alive. The little details like people playing music on the streets for example is really cool

Man, sometimes I wish Matt wouldn't be such a pessimist, when it comes to new games for him
Luis Travino, he’s a member of the Tezcas gang.
Matt: T E S C O
the fact that he doesn't use any of the mass disruption abilities or the distract hacks whenever he's in the middle of melee really irks me because that's how I played the game and how it's really meant to get you out of those situations where you have no mobility
"oh I'm sorry I thought I was playing watchdogs 1, a game with a good hacking system"
Proceeds to barely use any of the hacking abilities, which are expanded in utility a good bit from the first game.
I had the exact opposite experience with this game. Might be that I'm more tolerant to cringe, might be that I like stealth or it might be that I played with a controller. Either way I'm sad to see Matt didn't enjoy it
Same, I kinda cringed when he complained about not having the tools for the job while ignoring how it's played
@@punk5585 exactly. I mean he did call the cops and a gang on someone, so clearly he must’ve seen the skill tree but totally ignored the things he complains about lacking (like stopping helis, mass distraction and many other things that would made it so much easier)

I love how he calls the FBI the “FIB”. He’s just that used to speed running GTA
Appreciate all your content matt, and hope you will be here for us for a long time to come.
In my opinion the thing that brings joy to this game is the side missions and the skill tree, like for real the side missions are mostly fun and then the skill tree lets you fuck around in freeroam causing chaos.
I personally enjoyed the open world more than the missions, just like in gta 5.
That ad transition was so damn smooth I genuinely watched through it
I love this video and I’ve watched it many times but I will never understand why Matto didn’t use the skill tree once 😂
Oh, in fact, he DID
he UNLOCKED stuff, but then never used any of it!

"It's awful and buggy!" Well,that game was made by Ubisoft after all.
@Sean Bryan What?
@Sean Bryan youre delusional
Ubisoft games are better on console. Since I barely had glitches.
@Sean Bryan same. I play on console and I’ve probably played this game 7 times over lol and never had a problem. The occasional takedown bug or enemy glitch sure but nothing as bad as that. Pc has to be the issue
I'm on PC and I didn't have any Glitches.
Kinda funny how much he complains when he doesn't bother to learn how the game works
Everyone has different play styles. You go in sneaky, he goes in loud. And for this most part I’m pretty sure some of his complaints were somewhat valid
@Sean Bryan To be fair this wasn't exactly marketed as a Hitman-style stealth game, more like GTA with hacking. And GTA ain't exactly subtle.
@@reasons2live I don't think that was entirely the issue, he didn't even care to know that you CAN hack helicopters, you just need to unlock it. He also said it was passive hacking, but he didn't once disrupt comms or do a mass hack.
i love playing this game guns blazing, its pretty epic
@@geohiekim8705 except you can play the entire game stealthy without killing anyone
"I'm a human being, I'm used to using doors." Matt's Sus, that's exactly what an imposter would say.
Okay, i love Matt, i really do, and i love when he plays other games. But not other games that are open world games. He's so used to GTA that if any open world game doesn't play like GTA he gets mad at it while it's clearly his fault playing guns blazing when it is clearly a last resort and not how the game should be played. He prefers WD1 because it plays more like GTA.
Well if he only has fun playing a game a certain way then playing it “the way it was meant to be played” would be pointless because he wouldn’t be having fun.
spitting facts right here
true
If the game has guns, Matt should be able to go in guns blazing and succeed. If the game punishes him for using the tools it gave him to try to complete the objective, he has every right to be frustrated and angry. You should be able to walk in and shoot everyone. The game is about hackers; as long as you hack the objectives, it shouldn't matter how you dispatch the enemies and forcing you to be stealth is not fair play.
I mean checkpoints are kinda important aren’t they?
It's so sad that Matt doesn't know that Ubisoft makes mostly stealth oriented games...
Whoever talked Matt into playing this did him a disservice, as it's really not a game meant to be played fast, but to take your time and pick off targets 1 by 1, or use your drones to not have to set foot in a restricted area at all... The checkpoint system is actually INTENDED (stupid as it is...) to make you restart an entire section. It's to make sure that whatever time you might save by just going guns blazing and have a 50/50 chance of dying, DEFINITLY sets you back more time than just taking it slow from the start, playing the game the way the developers intended. Rockstar is a bit more lenient with checkpoints, but instead just fails you in a lot more ways between them to make up for that, and to guide the player...
Ubisoft games are their own thing, just like Rockstar games are. Expecting no insanely long stealth and puzzle sections in a Ubisoft game is like playing GTA 5 and expect a 3+ age rating, or Bethesda games to not be riddled with bugs!
So if Matt intends to play other open world games, i STRONGLY suggest that anything from Ubisoft be disqualified, as they simply don't work with how he enjoys playing games it seems...
GtaV is made so that even a 5year old can know what to do. This game actually requires some planning so I get the struggles, Matto is just not used to this
Honestly i like killing every person stealthily in a certain area before moving on to the next area but this game takes the fun out of that part
must’ve taken lots of time to write
Remember Watch Dogs 1? That game is more fun when you play like John Whick, melee executions, bombs, parkour amd bullets
@@justrandomstuff6828 Yeah, watch dogs 2 is made differently. It’s more stealth oriented, while Watch dogs 1 isn’t. Makes me regret never buying Watch dogs 1, I’ve seen gameplay and it looks amazing.
Calls the mission bad because he won't use any of the game mechanics it told him to 😂
Uh, no. Game is shit at explaining, hell, game is shit at EVERYTHING. Nothing surprising tho, cuz it's Ubisoft after all.
@@darkhorsed Shit at explaining, perhaps, though I had no problem figuring out what each upgrade does, how to disable sensors, how to non-lethally stealth through encounters, how to get access keys etc. And I played it on console, I should have a worse experience.
And the game is definitely not shit at everything, the sceneries are nice and there's a lot of small stuff to do and overall it's not a bad stealth game. I even stealthed in and out of the final encounter, both non-lethally
@@darkhorsed
This game is a masterpeice you're just shit at the game

@@yaman7008 yeah it seems alot of people don't understand the concept reading descriptions. It's like complaining you can't beat any of the souls game without dodging your first play through. Its just ridiculous.

25:34 nice 3kliksphilip reference
This man beat the entire game running past people shooting at him and not busting up their comms even once, surely there's an achievement for something like that
Watching Matt play this game was like seeing a kid enter a room full of toys and just start banging his head against a wall, and then when he gets told that's not what he should be doing he picks up one of the toys for a second, then drops it and goes back to hitting his head against the wall. Love you Matt but this was so painful to watch.
P.S. I almost lost it when he said the hacking was more restrictive and that he felt powerless... NO SHIT MATT! Who knew that running around like a headless chicken isn't a good tactic.

welcome to another episode of viper shitting on another one of my favorite games
video was still enjoyable as always, especially when matt completely ignored the stealth option in missions lmao
It’s okay if you don’t wanna use stealth in the game since it’s your own choice, and glitches are definitely something to blame on the game 100%, but y’know whats really useful when your going guns blazing? Cover, and using your tech point abilities more often. Buying your own guns and ammo is also extremely useful. I completely agree that the puzzles in the game are a bore tho.
@@anotherrandomguy8871 its not bore if you know how to do it.This guy on the other hand just bitches and moans that's all.
fun thing hacking the ecu of a car will let you override the base fuel injection and u sometimes can squeeze some extra power out since most modern cars are made to maximize fuel economy
I appreciate the MightyCarMods reference.
For the sake of mattos sanity I think he needs to allow chat to tell him stuff about the game when it comes to puzzles
Me basically the entire video: JUST UNLOCK THE THING!
Seriously, you can unlock helicopter takedowns, buggy/drone mines, auto-sewer-explosions, and so much more. So much of your frustration was from NOT USING THE RIGHT TOOLS. Also there's a hotkey for mines, you don't need to target them.
Love you, but dang this was hard to watch.
Yes
He said he doesn’t care if he good or bad at a particular game, he’s just playing it as he wants
@@stOneh3ad and that's why he's bad at almost any game he plays beside gta5/among us and fall guys.
@@stOneh3ad That's fine, but he was SO ANGRY at so many points in the video because of something that was entirely his fault. Not having the drone in the missions where a drone was recommended, not being able to take down helicopters, not being able to set self-detonating sewers, all those things he COULD HAVE done, and wanted to, but he hadn't unlocked it. So much of his frustration, anger, and feelings of helplessness was because he didn't invest in the perks.
Matt: this game is less hacking than the first… you can’t even hack a helicopter
Me screaming at my phone: go and buy skills!!!
1:27 " I'm in.😎" "He's not in.😒"

I like how he doesn’t research anything and complain when the game is too hard
45:25 Finally, my favourite Australian youtubers.
Matt: Chooses the most suboptimal way to play the game, doesn't bother to upgrade any of the equipment, fails repeatedly on basic missions because of it, doesn't use unlockable gadgets and powers: "This game is bad".
Doesn't bother to upgrade and actually take any of the hacking powers: "The hacking is so much worse in this one, I have no powers"
And to the "hacking is so much more passive here" - you still have the combat powers that make enemies distracted or stunned, even in combat, you just never used them for some reason and then complained that they don't exist. They do.
You didn't like the game for its vibe and because of it you stopped learning about new mechanics, instead just trying to basically beat everything with a stick. And because playing the game without actually using the advanced tools is more difficult, it made you even more angry. Honestly you should have stopped mid-playthrough when you stopped enjoying it. I get that part of it was trying to break the game for comedic value, but it's just not as polished of a game as GTA5, so it doesn't withstand that much of a deviation from critical path solultions.
I will be honest with you, I did try stealth on effectively every mission. The tools were non-existent, I had unlocked everything possible. It is conceivable that if you did side stuff you'd have more available, or that there were tools hidden somewhere, but most of the missions were solved with just throwing a drone or buggy at it. That was the "stealth" in this game.
@@DarkViperAU There's one very big tool I've not seen you use once in the video - cellphone distraction - I don't think the game teaches you that properly, but that basically solves both stealth and combat. About to get discovered? Ping that guy's cellphone and he stops noticing you for like 10 seconds and you can sprint in front of them and they won't notice you. I believe they even stop shooting you if done in combat. The skill is called "Create Distraction" and it's the first skill in the Social Engineering tree. And if you level up drone and the buggy, they come equipped with EMP/Frag grenade of their own, so you don't even need to fiddle with them to take out swaths of enemies. The whole army fort mission at the end there took maybe a minute for me to just fly in, drop the auto-frags from a drone and leave.
One of the first upgrades on the drone lets you see and mark people through walls, making the stealth trivial. One of the last upgrades in the combat tree makes your zap gun oneshot even armored enemies, making it a one shot hitscan tool for combat. One of the most expensive rifles in the game is an anti-materiel sniper rifle which one shots any enemy in the game. One of the vehicle hack upgrades makes helicopters just go away.
Maybe it's the game's fault for assuming most people will upgrade most of the skill tree by that point in main missions, but if you do side stuff and upgrade your arsenal, the game becomes much more easier and makes you feel like a god.
The problem is the game didn't grab you so you stopped caring about it and just wanted to brute force through the main story. And that's okay, it's okay to not like games. And yeah, the checkpoints were ridiculous, but I think what happened here is the playtesters also used their whole arsenal and didn't have to spend so much time slowly bruteforcing through the missions. I think you were trying to beat the game with minimum possible tools out of habit of speedrunning, trying to avoid going for unneccessary complications, but you have to have played the game (any game that is moderately difficult) for a while before you can do that succesfully.
@@DarkViperAU Another thing upgrades do is basically give you the power to make robot enemies die or fight on your side, forever and turn off any security device by just clicking on it. By the late game you just become a machine that goes around, clicks on stuff and taps enemies with a zap gun and everybody just falls asleep. Zap traps are amazing for indoor stealth/combat as I believe they do not make a sound, so that's an AoE disable for humans silently.
The game doesn't highlight it much but when you have any object in the game selected, be it enemy, security device, robot, vehicle or a machine, there are 4 different options for almost any of them in the bottom right of the screen, and some of them are insanely powerful, like an option to just turn off all electricity for a few seconds, like in the first game (called System Crash: Blackout here). The tools are all here, but I believe for this and some other you even have to go specifically loot them as an in-game item (it says where to if you look in the skill tree)
@@DesolateFields He didn't even use the blackout ability also which can turn off most security system and in night time it can make people blind in dark.

@Eagle Bearer ah thanks for clarifying im only part way through.
agreed 100%, you can play this game guns blazing while using hacking but he forgot the latter and it kinda ruins the whole point and experience
