Thief -13- Chapter 4: A Friend In Need
CHAPTER 4: A FRIEND IN NEED
Garrett's best friend and contact, Basso, has been captured and is being kept in Baron Northcrest's Keep, so Garrett is going to break in there while there's a full scale war going on in the City streets as Orion's Graven are attacking the Baron's men and the poor are overthrowing the aristos.
100% loot and collectibles.
There's a secret entrance in the greenhouse that let's you skip the mansion pretty much entirely, which is useful if you're not going for loot. Do what I did by climbing up the scaffolding, but instead of entering the duct sneak past the guard on the balcony, use a rope arrow on the beam and jump and drop inside through the open greenhouse window.
There's another secret entrance in the library room with the nosy guard and Mother Mulberry as well, but it's pointless. If you don't get loot the greenhouse is the best entrance, if you do go for loot the cellar is better. The library entrance is difficult to use without raising suspicion and has overall bad placement in the level.
Also in the library it is actually possible to steal all the loot without dousing the fire, but it takes too long because you need to wait for the perfect moment, be incredibly fast, and the servant's ability to detect you is buggy making your chances very random. She can easily see you when she's turned around and yet other times she can't see you even though you're right in front of her and brightly lit (I've had some staring contests with her), so avoiding her gaze is just complete luck and has absolutely fuck all to do with her body model's movements.
I screwed up slightly in the main hall when throwing the bottle. I threw it by accident through the doorway, making the guard on the first floor not hear it. If I had thrown it on the wall slightly more to the right, the guard on the first floor would've stood still for a while, giving me ample time to loot the chest and avoid yet another raised suspicion in the stats. I decided to live with that screw up because I honestly wasn't expecting to finish the chapter in this go.
Also, although to the casual observer it might look like the guard saw ME when I was moving away from the chest, I believe he actually spotted the "open" chest. Like I wrote in the video description of the first chapter, the AI in this game has a supernatural ability to spot open containers no matter where, often even long after the lid closing animation has played out, and it always takes precedence over anything else suspicious they might see and puts them into alert mode. Had the guard actually seen a glimpse of me there, I do believe that would've been an instant fade to grey and game over.
Of course I could be wrong, as I'm not the game's developer. If I were, I'd be ashamed of myself.
It's fucking anno

SECON
second-sight-28-redemption-3-3
Yup, the six months ago chapters were the real present time and the chapters where John was trying to find out what has happened were just a possible future that kept changing as John changed events in the present, which was depicted as being the past. It was his last power, the ability to predict the future, the SECOND SIGHT that was even in the title.
Since the game tried to hide the truth and keep us interested in the story, it actually makes things more messed up now that we know what really happened.
For example, John got all these flashforwards of the future between his "six months ago" chapters but even after he realized that he has psychic powers he never started wondering why every now and then he sees himself run around in the future, being bald and killing Hanson's men. It's understandable why his future-self had amnesia and didn't realize it wasn't the present or real at all, but as we now know John was actually completely fine in Siberia all this time and the game shows us that he did in fact get these flashes of the possible future all the time. It would make some sense if the game was really artsy and not actually played from the perspective of John himself, making the future chapters something only the player sees, but as it stands now the game is just way too... messy. Bad writing, very bad.
I've said it before, I want another Second Sight, but only because this game already has a lot of the important stuff done right. Just give us REAL levels, a bit more lenght and make the ability to predict the future another power, and it would be an absolute hit.
Think about it, you play a future level where you try to uncover what will happen that makes the wrold go down the shithole and you meet a boss that you are unable to defeat due to the boss' super laser. With this info John's objective would be to destroy the laser or defeat the boss before he gets the laser in the present so that in the future the obstacle is gone and John can uncover more of the mystery, giving John new objectives and goals of what he must do in the present. This would be a GREAT gameplay mechanic, but I dare to doubt the game developers of today have any imagination left to create such a game.
Well, man can always dream.

DEATH
death-to-spies-3-demo-play-19
Here's a demo of a game I am really excited about! Death to Spies 3 is an upcoming new game in the Death to Spies series from Haggard Games (http://www.haggardgames.com/), and it's kind of like if Hitman and the Commandos had a baby, meaning it's absolutely awesome. It's a third-person stealth game series where you use disguises to infiltrate military installations during World War II and the Cold War to assassinate targets, sabotage equipment and retrieve intel. This third installment is looking to be even more like Commandos as the full game will apparently allow you to switch between three different characters at any point during a mission for the first time in the series, which I hope will work out fine.
This demo doesn't really showcase any major gameplay features, new or even much of the old and my guess, but just a guess, is that this mission isn't actually even going to be a level in the full product, but it does do two things: for one it gets people aware and excited about the new game, although in my case no demo is necessary seeing how Death to Spies is one of only three video game series still going that I can say I'm a fan of, and secondly the demo removes any possible fears of the developers potentially losing track of what makes the series so great, because I definitely see the Death to Spies I love here!
Death to Spies III is most definitely going to be the game to play while anxiously anticipating more news about Hitman 6. I recommend the whole series to fans of more tactical, stealth oriented gameplay.

THIEF
thief-deadly-shadows-07-into-the-pagan
The Jacknall's Paw, the second item the Keepers want to study further is hidden somewhere in the Pagan Sanctuary and no doubt well guarded. But, Garrett's a master thief and has dealt with Pagans before, so this shouldn't be a problem.
I suck at this level, always have. I don't know why either, because it looks easy enough to just run through, but for some reason I've always had trouble being as sneaky in this level as I normally am in all the other levels. That's why it's strange that until the point where the screen goes black and then fades back in (after taking the Paw) this was all done in first try. The blackout you'll see is me reloading a save, because I messed up as I was leaving and accidentally alerted the Pagans near the bridge leading to the training room.
During the walkthrough I normally only save after entering a new area (and if I play for fun I only save at the beginning of a mission) because it'd be annoying to see the screen go black all the time and it would also take my fun away because it wouldn't be as exciting, knowing that failure doesn't matter that much.
The reason I knocked the treasure hunter out is that he'll walk into the Pagans and a battle ensues that may easily involve 5 of the 6 Pagans in the cave and all three miners. What this does is make it harder to move unseen when everyone's panicking around these narrow tunnels, afterwards the survivors of the fight(s) will be on high alert for a short while, the battle may skip the dialogue between the two Pagan females (I try to record every bit of dialogue in these games) and any dead bodies found later will count against the player, despite the fact it's the AI doing all the killing.
Later on when collecting the Paw, the dead body brought from upstairs will count as a body found if it's seen, which is why I dealt with the shaman, and the Treant (I think that's what most people call them) does act like normal guards and anything he sees is also counted against the player, which is why I made sure to hide both the shaman and the dead body. Yes, the body was dead, even though it looked like it was standing up when I picked it up.

THE S
the-satu-mare-delirium-hitman-3-deluxe
Here's the HITMAN 3 Deluxe Escalation that was last to release, The Satu Mare Delirium and all of it's levels.
Pretty cool Escalation, I trust you agree. Surprising amount of freedom in how you can do things to either be faster or play it safer despite the rather strict objectives and closed level design.
This Escalation unlocks The Straitjacket suit, The Straitjacket Belt and The Taunton Dart Gun.

Waking up in strange underground dungeon wearing a straitjacket and escaping some biker gang in the woods is the easy part. Affording to buy a house afterwards is much tougher.
