Just finished my first gameplay. My thoughts on the game so far:
Liked: - Dialogue system was brilliant.
- Thorton was kind of dull, but he has his moments, especially when he comments on the objects in the safehouses ("Mike and Sean! F*ck yeah. With three exclaimation points" always cracks me up)
- Choices that affected your gameplay to an extent. Can be improved, but it is on a good path
- The reputation system. Worked great, but would've liked to have expanded the characters more.
- I'll probably be in the minority that I liked the minigames. At first I found the Hacking games to be quite hard, but once you get used to it, it's pretty fun. But I love lockpicking out of all of them.
- The characters. Steven Heck and Mina would be my favourite characters from AP.
- I liked the stealth system. Sure it made the game easier, but I was fun knocking enemies out.
- The grenades. It gave some form of strategy, and my way of winning is knocking grenades off the walls. Made me miss the grenades in ME1.
Disliked: - Game mechanics are a bit stiff sometimes, especially the crouching and sneaking around.
- I found the pistol hard to use, since when I take headshots, it doesn't hit the target, but when I shoot at the body it does. Preferred the assault rifle with Subsonic Rounds.
- Some underdeveloped characters (such as Sis and the leaving of Madison) and way too much emphasis upon other characters (SIE and Scarlet, wut?) I HATED SIE, but Scarlet was an okay character, would've liked her more if I stopped half-hoping she'll swear like a sailor (she's the same VO who did Jack. I went "That's Jack??" when I first saw her) I actually had a good impression of Darcy, but I felt knee-jerked when he was trying to kill me in the end.
- Camera and mouse sensitivity is WAY OFF (since I'm playing PC) and sometimes when I turn the camera, it goes crazy.
- Wished for more variety in handlers. Most of the time, it's Mina and the occasional ally. Wished that it was more balanced out. However, this is more of a personal desire rather than a dislike (since I liked Mina)
- Felt too many plot holes in this playthrough. I know the purpose to leave the plotholes is to make people do replays, but there were too MANY plotholes.
- Fastforwarding feature when wanting to skip lines really irked me. I preferred to skip lines, rather than character's lines.
So overall, I liked AP, but I felt that replaying wouldn't be as fulfilling. Might rest this game for a while before I go back to it again.
