Watch at: 00:00 / 00:00:20sup everybody this is Carrick with a CGand I'm here with TKD gaming and let'stake down he's somebody who you guysprobably saw doing impressions on thisgame phantom doctrine we're gonna coversome different elements of the gamethere I think this is one of the fewWatch at: 00:20 / 00:40titles that you can actually totally seewhy there's such divergent reviews Ithink we last looked it was like 79 atmeta and there were people having issuesthere were some people who absolutelyloved it what we're gonna try to do iscover it from our both ends because Ithink takedown feels a little bitdifferent about it than I do but we bothWatch at: 00:40 / 01:00have some of the same things that wenoticed in the game and watching hisimpressions video there was definitelysome some information there that we sawand I wanted to sort of cover it so whatwe're gonna do is we're gonna start anew gamewe're gonna watch as the differenttutorials pop up and then I'm gonnaexplain not only you know what's goingWatch at: 01:00 / 01:20on the tutorial and in the next levelthat we do in some of the further levelsbut also just overall some of thedifferent issues that crop up soanything to add there takedown before Istart this thing let's just begin okayso we'll go with the normal difficultyyou've got your hard which means bodydisposals unavailable so what that meansWatch at: 01:20 / 01:40this is one of those games where you'reable to actually go in there and takepeople's bodies and hide them it's acinematic it runs for a second itdoesn't really say where they're hidingI really liked that part of the gameplayyou go too hard it's unavailable andwhat happens with the difficulty here isit doesn't really affect their range itWatch at: 01:40 / 02:00doesn't affect that kind of stuff itaffects the number of people who pop inand a couple other smaller overall Ithink adjustments to the game so we willenable the tutorial for this it's notsuper long but I'll show you guys justsort of what can happen and we candiscuss some of the RNG or lack of itWatch at: 02:00 / 02:20and and how that affects everythingso should we do it let's do KGB thistime yeah right KGB go with Herrick bondErik let's see look at him he's agood-looking man let's go with that yeahWatch at: 02:20 / 02:40so the one of the first things thatyou're sort of presented with is ofcourse the ability to go in and adjustall of the different elements of whatyour character looks like in fact Idon't know what did you think were youpretty impressed by the character editoryeah that's one of the things Imentioned in the impressions video therewas quite a lot of options to chooseWatch at: 02:40 / 03:00fromit was quite deep yeah yeah it seemslike it's pretty nice I mean I wouldn'tsay it absolutely stuns or blows awaylet's say um you know something like anex-con but one of the things that comesup in this game which is fantastic isthe ability to change your charactermidstream which we'll talk about in abit so let's go with I'll just run youWatch at: 03:00 / 03:20guys through some of the different facepresets I like Kevin Kevin looks goodwould you pick for how fat or skinnyyour guys were I'm gonna go with uh momwas always mostly everytime I alwaysmust like real life right just I'm ayeah yeah and then you have differentWatch at: 03:20 / 03:40hair styles you have sixteen and youknow it this is one of those games thatreally doesn't jump in and show you abunch of stuff on the on the the hairyou also can put a hat on and thatdisappears right away but I'll just showyou some of that some of the hair movesthe effortyeah the afro is crazy so is curly bothof those are are crazy also somebody didWatch at: 03:40 / 04:00ask me I think they were looking at theimpressions video takedown did and theywere like it looks like the hair colorsaren't necessarily what they say theyare like dark isn't isn't super blackhair and that is true it's one of thosegames where it's almost like everybody'sgot highlights like everybody's showingup at a 1980s Flocka Seagal concert solet's go with let's go with a big beardWatch at: 04:00 / 04:20and if you have questions feel free topop them up there we go five o'clockshadow yeah like that it looks like helooks like a porcupine when you startchanging colors this is something thatyou'll notice let's just go with thisand then you got itWatch at: 04:20 / 04:40yeah then you got nineteen different youknow shirts that you can wear so whatwe're gonna do is we'll pick somethinghere let's make him look and there we goformal pants some gloves though cuz he'sa hit man baby and we'll go with glossyloafers oh yeah there we go now you haveWatch at: 04:40 / 05:00the headgear option this is somethingI've talked about it definitely doesremove you know it removes the hairoption overall you still see some of ithanging down but what's up guys let'ssee so we'll go with should we do abeanie or should we just leave him withWatch at: 05:00 / 05:20let's do beanie uh yeahgive him the couch look yeah and thenwe'll go with some shades here we gothere we go what types of Jays do we gotthere ha ha tactical shades there we golooks like a pub g3 character or a pub Gcharacter it does does and the coolthing is you have different attachmentsWatch at: 05:20 / 05:40so of course I have to go with the pipethere we goscarves I'll ignore tattoos and makeupthat usually shows up most of the timeon like the body and stuff like that butthere's there's the occasional timesyou'll see it so we'll just go therethat's it for that character so thatshould character generator there is anumber of choices it's not amazinglyWatch at: 05:40 / 06:00in-depth but I thought it was I thoughtit was fairly in-depth when I firstplayed it we'll get this loaded upevent you were about to see may havebeen buried or covered up I will say theone thing I really do like is just thatthe entire atmosphere is done reallywell even though this cutscene is notWatch at: 06:00 / 06:20or frames per second[Music]and if you guys won another overall ideaWatch at: 06:20 / 06:40of this takedown did an impressionsvideo you can see on this channel thatshould be posted in the comments here intwitch feel free to ask questions if youhave any the 19th the cutscene was madein the 1980s as well yes sorta so thatWatch at: 06:40 / 07:00you understand what's going on right nowit's sort of laying out the I guesslaying out the three different groupsyou've got your CIA your KGB and youhave the secret group that we're gonnasee in a second but use the network wedon't want anyone listening what youthink about the voices take them I wroteWatch at: 07:00 / 07:20down a note when I was doing a reviewfor that and I wrote down voice actingis cringy so I think that's why for acar remember but I think cringy what doWatch at: 07:20 / 07:40you think of them executed and you say II think that for the most part they'reabout where I expected but then there'sa couple that are definitely readingfrom the paper in front of memachine yeah Speak & Spell from 1980s soWatch at: 07:40 / 08:00this is a part of the other group thatthe KGB and the CIA are consistently infighting against each other but alsothere's this other group that is is sortof connected as well all right load upso this always gives you we're gonna doWatch at: 08:00 / 08:20the tutorial this is operation thresholdthis will walk us through differentelements and I'll explain those yourprimary objectives reach the sleeperagent activate this control phrase steelshipping manifests and evacuate there'stwo things about this that I actuallyreally liked in the tutorial and thenliked later in the game the theactivating of agents and the theWatch at: 08:20 / 08:40different overall ability for you to tosort of sway agents to your side Ithought was awesome and they can bepulled from your team as well and then Idid like the evacuation setuptakedown and I've talked about thisbefore but I'll explain it would be atthat pointWatch at: 08:40 / 09:00these cutscenes aren't so bad theselittle brief ones in between you have agood reason for pulling me off that RAFgig absolutelythis operation is crucial to projecticeberg why are you even talking to metaking an awful are you even talkingnonsense they may be expecting defectorsbut not the kind of hardware you'reWatch at: 09:00 / 09:20carrying you're the popularoh he got smoked I'm sure he's finejust remember them laterWatch at: 09:20 / 09:40I like how casual you are to your I'vegot this gun walking in without theseguy reminds me of Wolfe from BreakingBad oh yeah for sure so you have youhave your typical movement and actionpoints that we see in a lot of games youWatch at: 09:40 / 10:00have your ability to scroll up down youhave basically what you would considerthree overall levels you have yourhighest your medium and your low the theone thing that you will run into in thisgame that I've certainly run intomultiple times is the camera angleswhich I'll describe it in a little bitbut what it does this will walk usthrough the different steps you can tellWatch at: 10:00 / 10:20how many movement points this is gonnatake by just looking here and you cansee the x one that means one movementpoint and times two so all you do youhighlight where you want to go rightmouse button he goes fairly simple stufffor so far I do like some of thelighting effects the graphics aren't badmost actions as it says cost actionpoints that's a little blue triangleWatch at: 10:20 / 10:40that's off to the side some actionsespecially combat can cost fire pointswhich is the basically the the dangerdiamond so you can see that I'm out ofall points there are this is one of thefirst things that take down and I weretalking about when we were looking atthis game originally it does not alertWatch at: 10:40 / 11:00you that there's an enemy scene like alot of games so if you play a lot ofturn-based kind of games like this ifyou see an enemy the game will be likeboom you know there's an enemy over herethis game does not do that what it doesis it just highlights them down here onthe bar as you can see me moving aroundand it shows the one I've knocked out orno he's sorry he's up shows one far awayWatch at: 11:00 / 11:20and one maybe even farther away this isone of the things you're gonna noticethe distance in the game is incrediblyhigh so that means if somebody has anak-47 there's a chance they could hit mefrom all the way over here that doesbecome an issue for some players andI'll explain a second let's end thisWatch at: 11:20 / 11:40also I don't know about you takedown butI felt that the enemy activityespecially later in the game tookforever to make it takes place you can'talways see what they're doing so youdon't even know if it's actually doinganyyeah even if their insight he means bythe way guys you wouldn't want to seesomebody who wasn't insight and see whatWatch at: 11:40 / 12:00they're doingoh yeah even when their insightssometimes the camera will not move tothem so here's the cool thing one thingI like about this you hover over and nowyou can see a guest this seems to beaccurate but I I assume it might be aWatch at: 12:00 / 12:20decimation of where he's gonna go and soyou can see that he's gonna walk downinto the left this is highly importantlater on in two different ways whichI'll describe in a second so we're gonnaend this now I do have everybody on runso that you guys don't have to waitWatch at: 12:20 / 12:40around as they walk that's a setting andwe will give general I guess impressionsoverall ideas of the game at the end allright so move herenow I passed by the true the the littleWatch at: 12:40 / 13:00arrows here that means I'm trespassingwhat that means is if somebody sees mecombats basically initially or instantlyinstigate it you can also see here withthe camera you can see what camera spotsby the little exclamation point you cansee those camera spots and you can seewhere you can't go otherwise same thingWatch at: 13:00 / 13:20they're informed right away now this issomething to watch out for the AI inthis particular section is set up to notdo this but one of the things that doeshappen is that your character willactually go out and like leap through awindow when you don't expect them to andI'll discuss that a little bit so weWatch at: 13:20 / 13:40disabled this did you ever have thattake down where the guys would just likebust through a window your own dude yeahand this isn't a bit set to reallyexactly show as powerful a yeah there'sa setting inside your options um which Ican go to here so I'll cover these for asecond you've got your your basicWatch at: 13:40 / 14:00options for windowed fullscreen and andfullscreen exclusive your graphicsettingsthey all go from veryhi medium all the way down to low stickthat it very high and keep it thereaudio you have a good number of audioadjustments which is nice becausesometimes you don't want you know oneWatch at: 14:00 / 14:20particular thing up super loud and thenyou've got your gameplay now you've gotyour action cam this is when you dothings in particular in the game andthey basically go in and it zooms in onthem it's like a cinematic acceleratedmovement the speeds up charactersanimations and it does reduce the latetime but it unfortunately doesn't reallyadjust much of the way time or the waitWatch at: 14:20 / 14:40time for the enemies instantly open theworld map we won't worry about autosaveenabled and then always use the shortestpath this is something takedown wastalking about I don't know about youtakedown but without it being clicked myguys still bust right through Windowslike yeah even if there's an enemy rightnext to themyeah and the game does not indicatesound it does it from what I've seen theWatch at: 14:40 / 15:00enemies don't react to that kind ofstuff they react to the trespassing kindof things alright so go here we're gonnaenter the main building so he turned offthat camera so we can get in you can seethis guy you can see where he's lookingthis is sort of his overwatch here wherehe's gonna notice people so this isWatch at: 15:00 / 15:20interesting watch what happens right nowso you can see they want me to movethere watch what happens oh no he goesthrough the door this one I thought hewent through the window so enemies eventhough I'm trespassing are not do notnotice this so now use the controlphrase takes control over an enemy agentWatch at: 15:20 / 15:40subjected to control phrase this is thetarget agent rook is that guy and itsays how many oh whoops it says how manyfire points it's going to take and itsays the cooldown which is three threeturnsand now I did it and just like aliasWatch at: 15:40 / 16:00he's suddenly on my team there we go sonow we've got two people sleeper agentis safe to go anywhere go up the stairsuse the mouse wheel to change floorsthen select the target tile and thenlet's see going here to right thereWatch at: 16:00 / 16:19now guards can be taken down silentlyprovided their HP is lower this isinteresting to me and I actually likedthis change so you can't just knockanybody out they have to be of a lowerHP than you to do so now people couldargue about what stat it is and and ifWatch at: 16:19 / 16:40that stat is something that they likebeing the one that sort of adjusts itoverall but I think it works quite welldid you like this that you can onlyknock people out that are lower than youtake down or were you not a fan of it uhI think it makes sense because if you'vegot like a brute or a bigger enemy thenyou know gonna be out sitting down areyou physically right I think it makesWatch at: 16:40 / 17:00senseboom punch them right in the face nowlet's talk about awareness allcharacters have a certain level ofawareness it's used by its it is used byselecting actions in combat awarenessallows agents to dodge when shot ateffectively reducing receive damage itregenerates every turning can be raisedthis is important because especiallyWatch at: 17:00 / 17:20when it talks about awareness anddodging because if you are within gunrange of an enemy you are going to hitthem actually the RNG isn't contained tothat so you will no longer get the 99%chance to hit you're up against thealiens face with your gun and you fireand suddenly your bullets go somewhereit's not the way it is what happens isWatch at: 17:20 / 17:40they assume your agents your super spiesyou know how to fire you know how toshoot guns your part is is going to ifyou're within range you're gonna be ableto hit but then they can dodge and theycan get grazing damage and so forthdepending on their where they're wherethey're staying into the level in thatWatch at: 17:40 / 18:00termall right nowspotter supports pretty cool you use itto lift the fog of war as it says andreveals people but you can only do thisespecially when you get later in thegame you can only do this if you have ifyou've brought support into the missionso beware of that and I'll explain aWatch at: 18:00 / 18:20little bit looks like let's see when youattempt to knock someone down does theguards awareness come into play no it'sjust a hit point thing when you're upclose the awareness is more when you getto him let's go with what to sayoh you spotter here we go so we'reselecting this target select in thatlocation reveals the fog of war it willWatch at: 18:20 / 18:40show us the enemies this is cool littlecutscene I dug these thanks forsubscribing guy's place your agents atthe door this is my favorite part of thegame so far the breach so what happensWatch at: 18:40 / 19:00here is just like a Rainbow six siege orsomething you can put your peopleoutside of a room tell them to go in theroom and they'll breach the room at thesame time in this in this cool likeone-off so let's go here and then nowWatch at: 19:00 / 19:20we've got kingfish we need to get him toready to breach the door and you can gobut you can go right in front of thedoor thereI like the names to take down I don'tknow about you yeah king fish mm-hmm ohremind me to come Romania tell him aboutthe main character dying and the levelWatch at: 19:20 / 19:40oh yeah all right so we're gonna selectthe breach breach confers a damage bonusnearby agents move into the designatedarea and shoot any encountered hostilesthat suppresses enemy overwatch as wellso that means if they have an overwatchit still works over the top of them andthen requires at least two agents withWatch at: 19:40 / 20:00firing capacity that means they have tohave the available points and all thatkind of thing so we'll highlight herehere here here there we go alright soKing fish is gonna breach it shows thathe's gonna alert everybody when thishappens it's gonna be a from we're goingfrom stealth to basically full actionWatch at: 20:00 / 20:20now there we gojust do it and they breach in this isone of the best parts of the gameoverall that ability to go hot if ifyou're good at the game and you'rereally really slow and really carefulyou can get all the way into a place andthen sometimes they'll be a bad guyinside and you can breach in very coolWatch at: 20:20 / 20:40feeling overall note that using nonsuppressed weapons always triggers thealarm and starts combat there aresuppressed weapons that you will getalright so wants us to go here oh itwants us to end the turn enemy activitythis gets long later in the game like Iwas about 3/4 of the way through theWatch at: 20:40 / 21:00game and the enemy activity even withall the settings turned to quickest itit can take a bit of time alright sowhat does it want us to do grab thedocuments from the safethere you go in here and there are itemsall over levels by the way guys soWatch at: 21:00 / 21:20there'll be times where there'll betimes where you end up having ten eleventhings on the level that you can graband they they're suppressed weaponsyou'll find you'll find all kinds ofinformation for the quest so this is theevacuating part this is something thattake down and I've talked about as beingboth a positive and negative for thegame when I hit take it when I hitWatch at: 21:20 / 21:40evacuate it's gonna show us where it'sgonna go but it takes three rounds toturn on one of the things I found outlater at least for me take down and Iwant to know what you think I found outlater that it was sort of a cheat what Iwould do is I would find out where theevacuation section was gonna be and thenWatch at: 21:40 / 22:00I would write which highlights when youdo this I would run to it and thenprotect from there for the three roundsnow I wouldn't call it cheat sorrythat's just it's a strategy the gameallows but it did change the way thegame played a great deal so even thoughthis is having me do extraction rightaway if I was playing it I probablywouldn't so you can see set up overWatch at: 22:00 / 22:20watch to guard the room so what we'regonna do now you click on your gunoverwatch looks like the king in acastle game this is also something Iknow takedown was not a fan of so I'lllet him describe it but if you clickoverwatch you draw overwatch that meansyou can have some insane overwatch youWatch at: 22:20 / 22:40can have huge swaths and it also youhave skills that adjust the size theshape of the overwatch which is quitedetailed so what this means is all thesespots are gonna be covered by him sothen we're gonna move this agent herebecause it wants us to now what he'sWatch at: 22:40 / 23:00gonna do is set up overwatch over thetop of the evacuation zone becausestrangely enough we know an enemy comeshere because we've done the tutorialokay so you can see overwatch look atthat size of that overwatch guys likethat overwatch is insane and there's areason why this matters because they canyou can hit them no matter how far awayWatch at: 23:00 / 23:20they are as long as the gun range goesthat farlet's watch it thanks for sharing it -if you guys get a chance on Twitter andsuchoverwatch activated dude is dead I loveWatch at: 23:20 / 23:40the slow-motion bits that's very coolputting them down like a bad horsealright so that's how the overwatchworks I absolutely love that one of thequestions just popped up do you thinkany of the issues are outside thepossibility of being fixed or tweakedthey could be tweaked I wouldn't callWatch at: 23:40 / 24:00them needing for a fix though I wouldcall them maybe there maybe there's alittle tweaking to go on would you callany of these actual issues a bug thatneed to be fixed or is it just the gamestyle takedownlike what sighs the gang style it's theway the developer wanted it to besomething that some people are gonnalike and some people aren't which unlikea bug yeah doesn't happen because someWatch at: 24:00 / 24:20people no one likes bugs Yeah right dothe enemies detect your overwatch yeahno but here's what's weird I'll tell yousomething that happen in multiplayerwhen we played that seems very odd butif we don't get a chance I'll just sayit now in in multiplayer for reasons IWatch at: 24:20 / 24:40can't quite figure out you can hear theother person put overwatch on and so Iwas playing a takedown and I wasscrolling around the level looking towhere to move takedown did overwatch inthe girl that he was in control of saidsomething like ambush prepared and I waslike wait what and because of the audioI could figure out where that was thatWatch at: 24:40 / 25:00that I don't know so we're gonna go tofull auto this will remove theirawareness which also means it'll beeasier to hit it basically just showersof myth bulletsso here we go damage versus awarenessphantom doctrine has no random chance tohit you can see that right there but atax can deal different amounts of damagepresented as maximum damage over minimumWatch at: 25:00 / 25:20damage so if you look up in the optionsyou have eighty four fifty four thatmeans your maximum and your minimum sokeep track of that especially cuz takedown an hour playing against each otherand like my minimum against him was likethree and it because of where he wastargets automatically dodge incomingattacks provided they aren't atWatch at: 25:20 / 25:40point-blank range but it costs awarenessso if their awareness is down they won'tdodge dodge attack deals minimum damageelse maximum damage damage is furtherreduced by armor and cover ininfiltration at the beginning of combatenemy awareness is always at zero whatthat means is when you're infiltratingno one knows it's at zero and except forWatch at: 25:40 / 26:00it says as full enemy agents will havefull awareness through the ground levelI do like how far you can move I don'tknow about you take down but it seemslike you can just jet across the levelsyeah you can move quite far and thenmost of time you can shoot with yoursidearm as well and look at that he leptWatch at: 26:00 / 26:20off the what [ __ ] floor of thebuilding second floor you like noshattered femurs by the way in this gameall femurs are safe it's not like aYouTube video so says some weapons areaccurate enough to land devastatingheadshots but cost awareness so thatthat is sort of indicating that yourawareness is going down because you'reyou're paying less attention and thingsWatch at: 26:20 / 26:40around you and you're paying moreattention to the one enemy here's what'sstrange thoughlook at this revolver so that that's apretty far shot for a revolver but we'lldo it anyway so switch out I like thislittle scene here he's dead soeverything really is this tit-for-tatwith the awareness versus the where youWatch at: 26:40 / 27:00are versus your own ability to you knowdo damage it's it's definitely a uniquething all birthing hips are safe yesindeed all right so in turnhere comes an enemy now one of theWatch at: 27:00 / 27:20things you'll notice is as this comesout you're gonna get a cutscene or thedrop or the key back depending on thelevel if you're out of your nation ifyou're out of your home place it'll be ahelicopter this time it's in my homearea so or it's in my area so it's a carWatch at: 27:20 / 27:40now when the evac compromised timerlapses you'll incur damage penalty uponthe conclusion of the mission it doesnot affect the success or failure thisis sort of it I mean it matters butgetting out is probably more importantthere we go this guy goes once again noWatch at: 27:40 / 28:00femurs broken in this video the fact hecan jump so far and then he hit evacuateand here's a cool thing you can leavepeople behindso you can also pick them up but if youdecide you don't want to pick them upyou can you just leave them in thebattlefield and run off and here we goWatch at: 28:00 / 28:20what do you think of that element umtakedown did you carry your people tothe end one of my guys died so I gavehim a steam shot and then I carried himall the way on the level but it took along time a long time I still feel thatthey moved pretty well thoughso yeah AJ you can't divulge secretWatch at: 28:20 / 28:40information his arrest warrant wassigned Patriot this is when we startgetting into the other parts of thisgame and I gotta say I know thattakedown has some different thoughts onthis for sure but I will say that whenit comes to the investigation elementsof this game I actually loved it he justwanted to play which is a ballad but forWatch at: 28:40 / 29:00me I loved the switch-upand we'll see some of that here betweenmissions watches cutscenespace forces directive but did you playCIA correct you yeah I didn't yeah I'mWatch at: 29:00 / 29:20not gonna lie the cutscenes don't give aton of data I love how my guy just getsout he's like oh yeah with his littleWatch at: 29:20 / 29:40pipe in hand okay so this is I'm sorrywe have to go through one more up onemore level which I'll walk you guysthrough we need to get up we need tobasically arrest this character so howdo you feel about the body disposalmechanic I like it what about you takethem like I was I'm fine with it yes allWatch at: 29:40 / 30:00rightI've been too much to say about itreally although I've never seen thismission because I play there's a CLAobviously so what I'm doing by hittingthe tab button is I'm just switchingcharacters as they move this issomething you can do which is alwaysnice so you can see here by looking atWatch at: 30:00 / 30:20the cameras all this area here is underthe cameras overwatch basically thiswill alert combat right away but when Ido these guys have all moved so we'llend this turn we're not trespassing yetso you got to remember that this isn'tone of those games where it's instantcombat all rightWatch at: 30:20 / 30:40so if you notice where my line is drawnthat goes through a section that willactually alert so I think that all alertwhen I run through that so I'm gonna gohere and then go here so I'm skippingWatch at: 30:40 / 31:00over getting that alert because we wantto we want to go in as quietly ashumanly possible now we only need oneperson to hack a camera or anything likethat so we're gonna set both these guysup you can see how I think what takedownwas having an issue with is you know theWatch at: 31:00 / 31:20the way your characters move it can geta little wonky so you have to reallywatch carefully or you'll get an enemyseeing you in a second let's go here ohwhoops in this turn civilians socivilians if they see you and you'retrespassing they can alert that'sWatch at: 31:20 / 31:40something that you want to watch out forall right so we're gonna get my guywe're gonna go here you have to stop atthe door to open it nowI don't think opening takes any pointsat all that I've noticed so now I'mtrespassing luckily this is not a windowif this was a window he would have seenand cameras are now off now you can lookWatch at: 31:40 / 32:00at your save system you have all yourdifferent saves you can do save scummingif you want if you're you know orspamming whatever term you use if youwant to do that you can you don't haveto in the game but you can see now thatwhile these cameras are off the littleWatch at: 32:00 / 32:20lines here still indicate trespassing soyou have to make sure that you know whatyou're doing and when you want to do itso what I want to do is I want to end myturn nowbecause I want all my agents togetherwhat do you think about the trespassingmechanic were you cool with it oh I'mWatch at: 32:20 / 32:39gonna trespass and then look at thishere we go oh there we go nottrespassing anyway continue takedownsorry I did I did like it but I'm nottoo good at using the infiltration stuffI prefer guns blazing and the game seemsto penalize you for wanting todo that because it becomes much harderand then you want to throw all gunsWatch at: 32:39 / 33:00blazing right okay so there you just sawthe it went trespassing not trespassingso would you would you rather dragbodies to hidden spots or the way theydo it here I'm totally fine with thedisposal of bodies which I'll try toshow you next very I'm I'm okay with itlike I'm pretty happy that let's look atWatch at: 33:00 / 33:20what we got here there's no equipment toyou so Ohdragging bodies would take more pointsmaybe as well if you have to drag it toa spot yeah I like the body disposalmechanic I think it's pretty cool Ithink it's a it's actually quiteenjoyable works for me alright so now alot of people have seen talked aboutthis in reviews so I'm certainly gonnaWatch at: 33:20 / 33:39say it you got to really watch out whatlevel you're on because it can get alittle bit difficult to figure out whereyour character is gonna go you want tomake sure you have your flat surfacebecause it's the transparency systems alittle a little wonky there we go withthat character we're just gonna keep allmy agents together or somewhat togetherWatch at: 33:39 / 34:00move her to cover the steps now you cansee him enemy right there and we aretrespassing so what you can do is youcan see where he's gonna go he's gonnago when I'm highlighting him he's gonnago here and most likely he'll still belooking away we'll see you in a secondWatch at: 34:00 / 34:20move in to go up I might be able to takehim out with the other guy now that Ithinkyeah so we'll go hereand then what we'll do we'll highlighthim take down silently incapacitatesWatch at: 34:20 / 34:40he's got 35 hit points I have 85 so Ilove the Star Trek [ __ ] taken out ofenemies let's go with move thischaracter here and I'll show you thebody disposal mechanic okay so it'sgonna cost me one of my fire points toWatch at: 34:40 / 35:00do this fight consider fire points likeany aggressive or aggressive styleaction well and then it cut drops to acutscene you basically pick them up andit doesn't really show what happens butthere you go all right yeah I'm feelfree to ask any questions of yet allWatch at: 35:00 / 35:20right so we still need to go up intothis room so I'm gonna those guys aredone to keep people together I'm justgonna move a she has a move move herhere we'll end this and we'll go to thenextyeah I like a lot of the elements whatWatch at: 35:20 / 35:40do you think overall take down like onceyou got done playing it like what didyou like dislike were there particularthings that you really enjoyed or I likethe combat when you get into a juicycombat section it's really enjoyable Ienjoy that but then obviously the stuffyou were talking about themicromanagement stuff in between theWatch at: 35:40 / 36:00infiltration missions I didn't reallyenjoy whoa just now saw that guy thereall right so there you go didn't see himoriginally now we've got an enemy butwhat we're gonna do is we're gonna getmy guy to go whoops go right here whichWatch at: 36:00 / 36:20won't trigger his wait there we goand then another takedown knock him outso a lot of people have asked like it isit a little free with the ability towalk right up to somebody and take themWatch at: 36:20 / 36:40down and I would say yes overall it is alittle it is a little overpoweredbecause you can walk right up tosomebody will dispose that body I liketo dispose of all the bodies for somereason can you check this cord see ifWatch at: 36:40 / 37:00anybody has any questions and make surethey know they can ask them to ifthey're because I think some of them gointo there to chat no one's talking inthere at the moment they're just quietsilent they're probably feeling thestress of an agent incursion alright sowe're gonna go into this room so I'mgonna set this guy up set him there howWatch at: 37:00 / 37:20does a difficult strategy layer compareof the strategy layer compared to say XWatch at: 37:20 / 37:40come to it's a good question I would saythe biggest issue that people are gonnacome into and you really do want towatch this closely is that range theability to hit anybody anywhere and itis such a different overall feeling Ithink and I don't think a lot of peopleare gonna be prepared for it when youWatch at: 37:40 / 38:00first get in cuz there were times wheretake down an hour talk and it was like aguy was shooting us from I mean itlooked like Nebraska and it was just itwas really an odd feeling in that waybut that's that's about it okayso looks like the guy is already dead isWatch at: 38:00 / 38:20it crazy hectic or manageable well itcan be hectic when you get a bunch ofpeople in a battle because I've had ateam wipe and and take down did to whereI had like five guys and when it's theenemy's turn they're all able to justjust crunch down on you and becauseWatch at: 38:20 / 38:40here's the thing guys remember this whenthey're alerted and someone sees youthey tell everybody they have likewalkie-talkies basically but you don'tso if you don't see them you saw a fogof war and even though they're alertedto you you are not alerted to them youcan't you can't now just see the entiremap like the AI can so let's see followWatch at: 38:40 / 39:00the blood trailso this blood trail I liked this therewas different elements of the game thatwere sort of investigative as you wereplaying so you can see this blood trailon the ground here goes to this doorwill get this care can go there aboutthis character's go here he is almostWatch at: 39:00 / 39:20out of turns but we'll get him here okayI was wondering more about themanagement oh I like the managementlayer if you mean the overworld whichwe'll get to right after this missionokay so move himWatch at: 39:20 / 39:40I would say this game it really behoovesyou in this game to sort of into thoseturns early if you have to with anoverwatch overwatch becomes highlyimportant whenever anybody alerts youbasically want to end every character onan overwatch I feel yeah that's why IWatch at: 39:40 / 40:00always did all right so we'll go herenow we need to follow the blood trailgot your briefcase this is some of thestuff I like to this like I don't knowthe the spy stuff I know takedown wasn'tas in love with it as I was but go herethat character is done with moves thoughWatch at: 40:00 / 40:20we'll end this now because I know howthis level sort of plays out I won'tworry about overwatch but this is whereif you're playing you jump into thatnext level you probably want to turnthat on thanks again for subscribing andsharing guys I definitely appreciatethat appreciate everybody watching Iwish my video hadn't [ __ ] gone badotherwise we'd have a review right nowWatch at: 40:20 / 40:40but time for new computer I guessalrightwhy do I have to be on the other side ohno there we goyeah I do have to be on the other sidethat was odd okay so now evacuate theWatch at: 40:40 / 41:00team once he gets done talking here okayso here's what I was talking aboutevacuation right now nobody knows we'rehere so we're gonna rest and then we'regonna in turn not rest and in the turnWatch at: 41:00 / 41:20and then I'm gonna show you guys how theevacuation mechanic works and how Idon't know if it's dodgy I'll have to tosort of see what other people think butso you know exactly where the evacuationis gonna come you know that it's what isit three or two turns that you're gonnahave to wait uh uh three so you can domultiple things you can sprint straightWatch at: 41:20 / 41:40there or and turn it on right away butthe moment you turn it on in dependingon if a character sees that they canalert so let's just go with let's gohere let's open this door alright so asyou can see here this is a second levelso you won't be able to jump out of thisWatch at: 41:40 / 42:00window right or what Kenya I can'tremember if you can jump out ofsecond-story windows don't think solet's try it we'll go in hereOh actually you know what we'll go herethere's as you can see there's a safehere and it's got some items in it soWatch at: 42:00 / 42:20we're gonna go here and we're gonna grabthose might as well indigo I like herthere we go now we're gonna break thisin compact follow a compact follower allright now the moment we go thereWatch at: 42:20 / 42:40that's the trespassing line if we jumpout of it will stop trespassing allright so we'll end here game looks greatso far yeah I mean there's there'sparticular things I think some peoplewon't like but oh there's there's alsoones that they will yeah so you can'tleave anywhere here and there's no pathWatch at: 42:40 / 43:00in for that so why hide out get my guysset up and never want to set in front ofa door I can tell you that muchwhere's those steps there through herewhoopsWatch at: 43:00 / 43:20always got a watch for any enemies tobecause they can pop up quite quicklyand I think I don't know about youtakedown but it seems like you can guesshow many enemies there are by watchingthe meter did you notice that so yeahit's it's almost like each time somebodygoes it's a static bar move and so youWatch at: 43:20 / 43:40can sometimes look at that and gothere's four enemies so whether that'sbothers you or not you know that'll beoh here not too worried about anyWatch at: 43:40 / 44:00overwatch yet now just because we're notseeing anybody does not mean somebodywon't come through and second level soit's darkest [ __ ] outside let's go tothe breach where is that gonna be it'sgonna be okay well but we'll just godown the steps and around a lot ofWatch at: 44:00 / 44:20easier all right so everybody is dunzolooks a bitdouble-a but mechanic wise seems prettycool how's the AI does it behave fairlyintelligently man okay that's a goodWatch at: 44:20 / 44:40questionwhere's my there it is it's - what wouldyou say take down like intelligence wiseI would say that there's somequestionable Lords at timeswould you agree yeah it's just becausethey're accuracies always spawn so itdoesn't really matter about theirintelligence because they were alwayshate youWatch at: 44:40 / 45:00yeah yeah it's sort of a it's a it'sdefinitely unique system and there's areason I think why we're seeing so manyyou know we saw it there's some peoplewho have reviewed it very low it's itlike 79 Oh Metacritic and then you somepuc some people rating it incrediblyhigh just want to make sure I'm stillfacing all right so let's go withWatch at: 45:00 / 45:20we're gonna get everybody out of thetrespassing zone so that this now meansnobody's it's good everybody is gonna bedone nobody's gonna be trespassingyou'll see that pop up that warningWatch at: 45:20 / 45:40pop-up which means any non aggressiveaction will not cause an issue it won'talert if you're just re any yeah any nonaggressive action will not it you knowcause anybody to attack I think we'lljust go straight through here there's acivilian there which she's in my way soshe's getting taken out so once I get inthis room I'll go ahead and call theWatch at: 45:40 / 46:00support so you can see that and againyou can play it any way you can callthat support right away - there'sabsolutely no problem with that it'sjust this is the way I did it and itworked for meso I'm gonna continue doing it that wayI do like how they just bust throughthat window okay so now we'reWatch at: 46:00 / 46:20trespassing again that's fine let's goahead and you can also see there's asecond level here so whenever you doalert somebody you always got to watchthose levels let's go ahead and callthat I felt like this is a perfect gamefor those looking for a commando-stylegame yeah so it seems like you enjoy theWatch at: 46:20 / 46:40combat unlike some other reviewers seemsto me it's a preference thing it is buthere's the thing even to take down and Idisagree on this which is why I wantedhim in this to begin with because wehave I would consider it not wildlydivergent ideas about it but he likesWatch at: 46:40 / 47:00the in-depth combat when you when youreally you know get down and dirty andyou start firing away I actually likedit less than he did I liked theinfiltration and the puzzles he did notlike the puzzles which we'll we'll lookat the second or at least weren't a bigfan I guess would that be fair yeahWatch at: 47:00 / 47:20third the main game it seemed like itwould took away from the game what doyou think took what did you feel took ittook away from though like did it justslow you down yeah just a good board theset of those sections I can't imaginewanted to play the whole gameall those sections constantly cuz it'smandatory as well it is mandatory thatWatch at: 47:20 / 47:40is a very good point on tape tones wehave it is definitely mandatoryall right like XCOM where some of thatshit's optional yepso this one will probably see no enemieswhich is goodhow does that come how does this compareto something like shadow tacticsWatch at: 47:40 / 48:00you know there were some things inshadow taxes I like some things I didn'tI'm a big fan of XCOM XCOM - XCOM werethe chosen fantastic game so I would sayit compares Faber favorably as long asyou understand the way some of this isworking it is it can be quite it can bequite trying when you get in a bigWatch at: 48:00 / 48:20battle and here we go evacuation soevacuate all friendly agents we're gonnado so there we go is the plotinteresting I liked it but it take downdid not I would say right you weren't Ididn't get that much into the plug isfinally quiet generic I think that'sWatch at: 48:20 / 48:40gonna be one of those things that likedepends this will give you your summaryit'll tell you how well you did as youcan look at this is one of the things Iwanted to point out equipment acquiredtwo out of five so there was five otheritems out there classified documentsacquired zero out of three one of thethings I liked about this is there's achance that you could really end upWatch at: 48:40 / 49:00having a completely different levelplaythrough as somebody else not justbecause of how enemies are but if youdecide to grab all that stuff you knowif you dive into that stealth stuffnow we're gonna get into the basemanagement so material acquired agentscaptured no secrets were revealed duringWatch at: 49:00 / 49:20that particular operation so here'shere's the summary it shows theexperience gained everybody gets perkswhich all show as well then you got yourinfirmary infirmary as if people arehurt this is very typical stuff you putsomebody in there if they're hurt andand they get healed up over a particularWatch at: 49:20 / 49:40amount of time perks can adjust that solet's look at characters now let himtalk for say okay crew quarters allowsfor equipping your agents also in theyou level up they can be sent totrainings this is actually something Ireally liked so you can see here thatWatch at: 49:40 / 50:00he's got a perk and training availableshe has a perk available her training iscalled contact tactics when you go inthere it'll show you what thosetrainings do each training is a littlebit different you can see what what gunsit will allow and how you can swap outthat training it also allows forblinding laser which is a very cool veryWatch at: 50:00 / 50:20cool skill which stops other people'soverwatch enemies overwatch is a plotgood for the genre good for games ingeneral or both I think it's good forthis game the plot it fits in eventhough like takedown wasn't a fan of thepuzzle stuff is it possible in yourWatch at: 50:20 / 50:40opinion to do a pacifist playthrough youcould but it'd be [ __ ] hard I meanyou could yeah you could you just it'dbe a lot of hit in that end turn buttonso looking at perks here we've got aperk we can pick you got brick headprotects from stun that means somebodyhands done yeah yeah you've got martialWatch at: 50:40 / 51:00artist decreases awareness cost oftakedown you've got have takedown you'vegot revenue increases critical timeragents take longer to bleed out andstalker increases the maximum range ofoverwatch overwatch I would say is notnecessarily overpower but it is it isWatch at: 51:00 / 51:20highly powered so we'll turn that up onthat character we'll go here we'll lookat training so you've got your differenttrainings hereyou've got blinding laser like I toldyou pain stimulus when hit the agentreceives a bonus empath upon healingthis character also restores a smallamount of HP healing is quite importantin this game and then this one is justbasic firearms it shows you how to howWatch at: 51:20 / 51:40to use a ton of weapons so we'll go withbasic firearms all right so that's itwhoops and then we've got a perk customgear improves reload gifted bonus xpvery useful cold-blooded decreasescooldown on the focus and masochistimproves damage threshold let's go withWatch at: 51:40 / 52:00improves reap no yeah mmm I like bonusxp because then it always allows you toget more perks quicker gonna do adeath's game review probably not I don'treally have the time I'm swamped andthen this basically just shows you allthis info but let's break something downfor youWatch at: 52:00 / 52:20you look at the stat and you open it upand you can see circulatory respiratoryof motoric which I don't know that wordand sensory circulatory increases hippoints and fire points and basically itgoes down from there this is quitedetailed and this might be where aperson like take down who wanted more ofthe action parts looked at it and wasWatch at: 52:20 / 52:40like that's a lot of [ __ ] and it is youthere's they're not underlying toindicate you know hyperlinks in the gameto pop you over to a skill it's just ablurb of a bunch of data so be preparedfor thatoh very overwhelming it's very it can bevery overwhelming yeah yeah for sure andthen we'll do this guys perk and we'llWatch at: 52:40 / 53:00be donelet's see oh he's already got those okwhat are we gonna do survivor increasesmaximum hit points movement bonus whencarrying the unconscious carrot that's agood oneit increases HP recovery and hideout orincreases maximum awareness let's do hitpoints got to make a couple tanks rightWatch at: 53:00 / 53:20alright so recorders allows for you todo that also allows for you to hire soif you are out if you are down agentswhich I'm gonna tell you will mostlikely happen to you it happened to me acouple times the first playthrough thenyou'll go here to higher charactersthey're not super expensive and in factmoney isn't incredibly hard to come byas long as you're smart what's max levelof agents that I don't knowWatch at: 53:20 / 53:40I don't know I didn't see any max when Iplayed so that would be something Iwould have to check the Steam Workshopthis is for crafting items so we've gota character in here you can go in hereand this goes higher as you go up inlevel and you get more stuff and if thegame is about for about 40 hours if youWatch at: 53:40 / 54:00don't do everything it's a very longtitle let's have her build a flashbangand you can see different characterswill will give you different stats forthis let's go to analytics so this iswhere you put people you can assignagents to solve secret files over timethey'll work on them for you and notifyyou when they're done secret agents goWatch at: 54:00 / 54:20out and gather data the data is thentaken back and that's when like takedown was saying it can become even moreoverwhelming because there's there'sabout a bunch of puzzle elements andsometimes you have to do a puzzle to getto the next level so for some peoplethat's probably gonna feel a little oddso as you can see in the lower left itWatch at: 54:20 / 54:40wants me to go to my main screen this isthe same screen we always see in awhat's the XCOM something like that didthis ever confuse you take down becauseat first it confuses me it confused meuh uh yes it a bit yeah it was it was alittle odd so managing your espionagenetwork is about deciding who goes whereenemy agents are conducting operationsWatch at: 54:40 / 55:00your job is to find them assess thedanger and decide whether to stop themor conserve your resources whenever youdon't stop them your danger level onyour base goes up a little like XCOMwhere they're always looking for you andhere you can move which is nice this isa bad joke question does meta refer toWatch at: 55:00 / 55:20the character ability to gyrate duringbang-bang-bang I was like what um everyjob in every assignment takes time tocomplete while you're in a hideout timeis paused you can only activate it fromthis map which I actually like did Ifind the game difficult there werecertain levels that are I felt reallydifficult if you are not playing it in aWatch at: 55:20 / 55:40I wouldn't say a particular way but Iwould say like what take Don was talkingabout if you get caught and you're notconsistently putting out your overwatches youhave a teamwipe like that because it'snot about soaking damage you're notwearing a bunch of armor yeah and ifyou'll main character does as well thenWatch at: 55:40 / 56:00yeah okay so let's talk about that onmost of the missions your main charactergoes if they die it just read just goesback and I thought oh maybe I'm choosingto send my character into those and Idon't want to but from what I've beenable to tell it certainly looked likeall those missions it didn't have thatWatch at: 56:00 / 56:20feeling of a team where you go out youhave people with you and if they die Ithink there was one where he wasn'tthere but it seemed like my maincharacter went all the time no matterwhat I did I wasn't able to well therewas what I think there wasn't one or twothat didn't but I didn't die a ton so itwasn't something that popped up alrightWatch at: 56:20 / 56:40so you can speed up time let's do thisso this is speeding up time differentthings happen suspicious alert over timesuspicious activity signals around theworld they may be enemy operationsfriendly informers additional hideoutsthis is all very cool greetings fromKuwait Croatia keep up the good workthank you very much alright so you canWatch at: 56:40 / 57:00see up here this is my base this is theCobell hideout this is where yourhideouts located we are in where the[ __ ] are wewe're in Sakhalin this is not where Iwas when I start when I did the ER nowe're in somebody else can pronouncethat pablor vas where were you I wasdown here take down you were in lady iaWatch at: 57:00 / 57:20you were in CI a so yeah different spotso you can see how many agents are hereas well by looking there at the dots andlet's see special mission is here unlessspecified otherwise enemy activity issignificant to the storyline that issignificant has no time limit can beactivated upon your discretion thisWatch at: 57:20 / 57:40allows you to explore the story with atyour own pace which is nice so it wantsus to perform a special mission to pushthe story forwardso let's go ahead and start jobnow you can see the airplanes here thisWatch at: 57:40 / 58:00is very cool if your character has anexposed ID what that means is peoplehave seen him he got caught trespassingenemies saw him the character travelsslower to indicate that it's harder forhim to get through customs and stufflike that which I really liked the ideaof but I can see some people not being afan of that at all I liked itWatch at: 58:00 / 58:20let's go so they're investigating thatwill go here suspicious activity willScout this area scouting the target areato reveal enemy activity but we'll gothere so we've got our guys all doingstuff you can see this little green barhere at Vlad Sanath gate or I pronouncedWatch at: 58:20 / 58:40that completely wrong but you can seewhere that's filling upwe'll wait till that's done done theitem was oh we also crafted that's whatit's telling us all right here we golocal police the militia chief vanishedarrested for possession of unregisteredforeign currency so that's theWatch at: 58:40 / 59:00information we got we can continue andthis just gives you some story aboutwhat's going on at the time we'velocated a prisoner alright so now youcan see a bunch of [ __ ] popped up we'regonna wait for these characters to dothis scoutWatch at: 59:00 / 59:20is I'm gonna send them all all right soI wanted you guys see this there we godanger measures how close the enemy isto finding your hideout there are waysto lower it is there enough randomelements to like XCOM for replayabilityyesWatch at: 59:20 / 59:40wouldn't you agree takedown I meanoverall yeah all the time somethingdifferents happening yeah okay so here'sa special mission now you'll be you'renoticing I'm not going into battlesthat's because some of these there areno battles to go into it's specialmissions as you're there you're justyou're you're there doing stuff you canalso see tender idea exposed that'llWatch at: 59:40 / 01:00:00make his travel slower so if you needsomebody who can run around the worldspying on things do you want to get anew ID for that character which I'llshow you in a second so we'll go herewatch everybody flying you can seelittle airplanes I like this I thoughtit was pretty cool and we'll we'll gohere we'll go to suspicious activityWatch at: 01:00:00 / 01:00:20we'll send you can see different speedsID expose there you go so galleon IDsafe four hours to travel there codexand tinder are 5 and 6 respectively sowe're gonna send galleon and we're gonnago here and we're gonna send codex tothat ok yeah it's it is certainly aWatch at: 01:00:20 / 01:00:40unique game there's a lot for me I likedthese kind of elements but I can see whysomebody you know who likes the battlecan sit there and go damn it's it stopsyou from jumping in much more than let'ssay an ex-cop alright that part to bedone here in a secondWatch at: 01:00:40 / 01:01:00pact of silence rattling some cages makeincredible threats soon cause one of thelieutenant's to spill the beans so bysending those people that's what we dida glove was to be isolated on ordersfrom the GRU he's the one mentioned inthe yukon file let's go to end all themWatch at: 01:01:00 / 01:01:20home and we're gonna send people toinvestigate a possible leadthat one's going all right move timeforward uh unfortunately there is nodouble-time forward I noticed thattakedown when I was playing you can'tplay double speed it you know it soundsWatch at: 01:01:20 / 01:01:40like such a small thing but it actuallyscouting this area too I'm gonna sendthese guys with their IDs that are safedangers low at least but yeah I noticedthat you can't speed that up two timeswhich it sounds so it sounds like such asmall deal but it doesWatch at: 01:01:40 / 01:02:00how often do story moments happen quitea bit enough that for somebody liketakedown who wanted to jump directlyinto battle it was pretty quick so herewe go secret documents or secrets areshorthand for valuable information thisis when we start doing the puzzleelements and we've got a new secret filetheory of conspiracy we're gonna go intoWatch at: 01:02:00 / 01:02:20the investigation room and we'll do thistutorial so you guys can see it so thisis like a CSI crime board and whatyou're trying to do is just like thoseyou're trying to connect the dots thisis by looking through information in thefiles and identifying overlapping use ofwords and stuff like that so you can seeWatch at: 01:02:20 / 01:02:40Dean macaque and same thing over hereso we highlight that now make two moreremaining connections so what you do isyou look Chamberlain Chamberlain thatyou draw a line there and then LarryMcDonald you draw the line there okay soWatch at: 01:02:40 / 01:03:00when you do that when you do enough youget it to unlock more informationadditional Intel so what we've got hereadditional Intel now this is interestingto me I liked it I don't know take downwhat youwere you not a fan of like going intothe documents and double-clicking wordsand yeah I just felt like it was a lotWatch at: 01:03:00 / 01:03:20of busy work yeah boring thanks forsubscribing guys and also you should beseen takedowns channel datahe's got a good how long's yourimpressions 15 oh it's 20 uh yourimpressions videos like 20-some minutesright in minutes 30 minutes and what'sWatch at: 01:03:20 / 01:03:40nice about that is because we look atthings differently he he was more of theyou know what it's like to do tacticalstuff so so here we go you're lookingfor keywords so there's one now find theother two missing keywords the onlything I didn't like about this isbasically you can just click around andWatch at: 01:03:40 / 01:04:00it shows up so I wasn't I wasn't a hugefan it was a little less what do youcall itcovergirl there's the other one onealias remaining let's see Big Daddy yepthere we go close the intel piece sowhat that does is it gives us if you ifWatch at: 01:04:00 / 01:04:19you look over on the left it gives youmore connections now and we know thatthis is one connection so we draw thatmake the final connection covergirlcovergirl you can see that those sowe'll draw those and tutorial completenow we've got the information on theWatch at: 01:04:19 / 01:04:40organization now we need to do thisagain we need to find the organizationname inside of this I'm assuming Kotaknow a bunch of radio are men in blackyep men in black they just might connectthe dotsso you're basically reading some ofthese transcripts so we got that nowwhat that does is that brings us a newWatch at: 01:04:40 / 01:05:00one now there's nothing in here that wehave and you get more information onyour board by going out and doingspecial missions so for some people thisis gonna be really interesting forothers it it does slow it down I wasn'tbothered by that but I can you know takedown was period conspiracy these filesWatch at: 01:05:00 / 01:05:19interceptor from beholder communicationsand internal memos document how beholderinitiative uses popular conspiracytheories and unexplainedto create a whole layer of decoys verycool so you've got your men and black asthe first one so basically what they'resaying is like the B holders use the menin black it's almost like the oldrole-playing game and card gameWatch at: 01:05:19 / 01:05:40Illuminati and then you can go back hereand you can see where we got the O whatwe need another organization so let'ssee snow cat no nope nope nope submarineno nope Valhalla we're looking fororganization boom no not snow catWatch at: 01:05:40 / 01:06:00Agro recovered by the six nowBritish no Olympians there we go so weOlympians now is another organizationthat we can discover so now you haveWatch at: 01:06:00 / 01:06:19another piece of information that youneed to go through so it's I don't knowman like did it just feel I mean was itbecause it was wrote take down that youdidn't like it oh boy the immersion lookwhere the immersion I can think itseemed like it just seemed like it wasWatch at: 01:06:19 / 01:06:40in my opinion mmm I don't know lazy wayof making more gameplay without havingto do with the nice missions ofattacking yeah and I think for somelibel it's gonna be exactly the oppositeright for some people they'd be likethat's gonna be their favorite thing Ithink what we need to do is just makesure people understand it's there and itWatch at: 01:06:40 / 01:07:00happens yeah we got the organizationthere what did it say it give us amission here it said so up in the topleft it says your objective it saysinvestigate you cons dossier to learnmore though we do need to investigate atthe got thatWatch at: 01:07:00 / 01:07:19and black oh okay I see I need to domore missions to get more data so let'sdo some secret missions here let's justsend ID safe we'll send him to scoutthat area will send the long flightWatch at: 01:07:19 / 01:07:40we'll send in to go to scout that onewe're just gonna Scout a bunch of areasto get some dataOh idea exposed we won't send him one ofthe cool things I liked is sometimessomebody gets attacked and you canchoose to leave them let basicallyignore your agent like you've beendisavowed but then sometimes they'llWatch at: 01:07:40 / 01:08:00come back and it'll say something likeso-and-so agent is returned after amysterious absence and that's when youhave to start wondering if they've beenturned and they can be trade contactcleaner alright so we got somebody elseexcellent and let's go with we'rechoosing a perk for this characterWatch at: 01:08:00 / 01:08:20disguise cannot be detected interestingsnapshots no longer in the turndecreases cooldown snapshots no longerin the turn is pretty powerful let's dothat all right let's keep flying EEP flyWatch at: 01:08:20 / 01:08:40yeah seems as it sounds immersive to meit is very much so I think it's when itcomes down to it how over the top notover the top but how kinetic the combatcan be for some people I think they justwant to do that combat like take downwas he wanted to do more of the combat Iwanted to do the more you knowinvestigative elements so known enemyWatch at: 01:08:40 / 01:09:00ages you can also see this identity ofenemy agents may be revealed randomly sowhen you're scouting you'll sometimesget an enemy agent you can see wherethey areyou can try various actions with them aswellother than that takedown you got toWatch at: 01:09:00 / 01:09:20leave in a little bityeah gloves some food in a ton I thinklet's uh that's based the basic stepsoverall you know there isn't there'ssome more stuff that's added but overallthat's the basic the basic crux of it Idon't you know I don't know what areWatch at: 01:09:20 / 01:09:40your final thoughts overall like I knowyou didn't beat it or anything but whatare your final and present well Ienjoyed the combatI enjoyed the missions you go out on andI enjoy the I don't know if I enjoyedthe fact there's no statistics on howaccurate you're gonna be when you hitbecause I lied to you from my point ofWatch at: 01:09:40 / 01:10:00view but I didn't like you from theenemy's point of view right but thenthat's gonna be like that it's gonnahappen for you it's gonna happen forthem thanks for nice yeah thanks for thelook guys says silver thank you verymuch I appreciate it I appreciateeverybody watching tooit's a fun to do these sometimesdepending on the game um for me I wouldWatch at: 01:10:00 / 01:10:20agree I think so we're seeing a goodnumber of really divergent reviews Ipersonally feel that every game getsthose every game there's always somebodywho's gonna say god of war as a zeroright there's always going to besomebody who does that but a lot ofthese people they took a lot of timesthey really judge they really jumpedWatch at: 01:10:20 / 01:10:40into it and and they I think they foundit enjoyable I will say there were a lotof bugs I will admit that there's someweirdness that can happen whensomebody's on the third or second floorand they'll shoot pretty much throughtheor to hit you that can be a little oddand it can make you feel like there's avery big on their side a very big bonusWatch at: 01:10:40 / 01:11:00of some kind that's occurring and I sawthat come up in a couple reviews wherepeople like and that's you know there'ssome oddities there I take down had acouple crashes I know he said you gotstuck on a level or did you get a baddid you get something that brokeyou said level three or there was aWatch at: 01:11:00 / 01:11:20level that you had done you're like manI'm stuckyou remember none about that was when itcame to all the busier work in betweenthe levels I was confused how to do itcuz I didn't get the option for atutorial like you did earlier oh goshokay I so yeah yeah I mean when it comesto the way the game plays out I thinkoverall that's a good general take of itWatch at: 01:11:20 / 01:11:40I think that some things will botherpeople it is it is a difficult game ifyou've played hard West you already knowthat these guys do a really good jobwith it sort of integrating some otherelement into whatever title they'remaking and that's what I liked abouthard West I absolutely love that abouthard West with this game a little bitlike Mario added movement and madeWatch at: 01:11:40 / 01:12:00movements such a big deal this gamemakes that spy element a big deal and Ithink for some people it can pull thatback to me I liked the ability to youknow go around have my disguises I likedthe map I liked all of those interactivebits but I see why others didn't and IWatch at: 01:12:00 / 01:12:20see why the lack of information which issomething almost all the reviews havepointed out and I would have pointed itout in mine if the if the video hadn'tdied it I think the lack of data candefinitely hurt and full price tag gearnameforty bucks I would say I would say yesWatch at: 01:12:20 / 01:12:40as long as you really know that thatthose situations and how this gamehandles RNG because it is completelydifferent than what you're probablyexpecting and I mean both of us werelike what the they're shooting us from800 yards away and in it what it causesWatch at: 01:12:40 / 01:13:00is it causes the gamer to have to scrollthe map more and then I think people areaccustomed to so as long as you keep anI and look for that thing I showed youguys with the with the different peopleand you make sure that if you see peoplepop up on that you start looking rightaway especially if you're in trespassingthem but I think I mean I didn't get aWatch at: 01:13:00 / 01:13:20ton of bugs I'm not a big fan of the waythey can shoot through the floors attimes and some of the oddities of viewand viewpoint um what about you takedown like 40 bucks that's I know it's alot of money um I'd say if you're ahardcore fan of the genre and you'reinto your ex-consand hard West and other stuff like thatI'd say it's worth it because you canWatch at: 01:13:20 / 01:13:40enjoy if that's your sort of game Ithink also I have to say the length ofthe campaign is impressiveso one of the things we see in a lot ofthese kind of games is the length of thecampaigns sometimes let you down youjust get into it and suddenly it's likeOh campaigns over this one has multipleWatch at: 01:13:40 / 01:14:00campaigns it's got your KGB and it's gotyour CIA it's got your Overlord whichbecomes open when you beat it it's gotthe different difficulties which is verycool and those difficulties you're gonnaturn it off the ability to dispose ofpeople makes you watch where they'regonna walk but yeah if you're a big fanWatch at: 01:14:00 / 01:14:20of these I mean I think it I thinkthere's a lot here to offer you just alittle bit like Mario where you knew itwas gonna handle things differently thesame thing happens with this game youknow it's gonna handle thingsdifferently and you need to beabsolutely aware of how it's going to doit because it can be frustrating evenwhen I knew because I knew I you knowWatch at: 01:14:20 / 01:14:40you're given this information on the PRand they're like hey RNG is pretty muchgone that kind of stuff you knew it fromreading things and sort of looking atthe way everything goes that thatability to be hit from so far away canbe really frustrating at first though Iwould definitely say that you can goahead and go take down I'm gonna answeranybody's questions that they may haveif you need okay then oh no I gottaWatch at: 01:14:40 / 01:15:00stick around for that moment all rightso does anybody have any other questionscan the AI see you when you can't seethem know if if they alert you you alsoalert but the problem with that is isthat when one AI sees you they telleverybody and everybody pretty muchWatch at: 01:15:00 / 01:15:20knows where you arewe're Intel they come in sight of rangeyou don't so that can be an issue ifyou're in the center and there's enemiesall around you and that alert goes up itcan be quite difficultis there any base building in the gameyes there is I can show you that thoughI can't do it right nowWatch at: 01:15:20 / 01:15:40so see up here you have your techupgrades you got your analyticsexpansions these all take money actuallyI could just do one real quick they giveyou increases the agent limit maximumdanger increased effectively reducingthe risk of raids so let's do that takes8 hours cost a thousand bucks so we'llgo back to the mission boardthank you very much remind me I can'tbelieve I forgot that I will say that isWatch at: 01:15:40 / 01:16:00one thing that does pop up the interfaceis a little dry and I think that wouldbe the best way to describe it theinterface is a little dry and I thinkfor some people that can be quitedifficult to sort of parse where theyneed to do something because if you gointo we're in the workshop right nowwhich makes sense rightbut it doesn't really say much and thenWatch at: 01:16:00 / 01:16:20you look up here and it's like techupgrades so it sort of pops you upMichelle says the devs have already saidabout workshop in the future for modsbut if you could have a mod for itooh that's a good question that's areally good question if there was a modyou could choose take down I alreadyknow his answerwhat would the mod be if you couldWatch at: 01:16:20 / 01:16:40choose a mod for this game uh you thinkI'm gonna say take out all that I am ishe well that's exactly what I thoughtyeah is that what you're gonna choose isthat what you're gonna choose huh wedon't be though or maybe not as apercentage but change the system of howthey can shoot you and how you shootWatch at: 01:16:40 / 01:17:00them yeah there's there's definitely andI would say that's more along the linesof the perimeter right it's not likewhen you're up close it's that morequestion mark of when they're far awayand yeah the information at the range isridiculousyeah the range is ridiculous I'm sorryit didn't show up in one of these butguys it's crazy there is I mean whenWatch at: 01:17:00 / 01:17:20they can see you from that far away andwell you guys should have seen that withoverwatch look at how big overwatch waslike takedown was and I were we'retalking to each other and he's like dudethe overwatch is just weird like it'sit's so massive at times that you reallyhave to take into accountthey're overwatch you're overwatch andhow everything works multiplayer was ablast I do want to cover multiplayer forWatch at: 01:17:20 / 01:17:40a second I had a really good time withtakedown we did multiplayer we did acouple different things and one of thethings I really liked about themultiplayer was just the fact that itwas faster he was faster at movingenemies then the AI is and I know thatsounds weird but it was so nice to justlike yeah I'd hit done with turn and andWatch at: 01:17:40 / 01:18:00he was you know your tab and you'removing around and the AI scan reallyslowed down if there's any big negativeI have it's that in the later games whenyou have a ton of [ __ ] going on you'regonna be sitting there for quite a whilewaiting for the AI to move it's justgonna sit there and it doesn't matterwhat options you have it always takes ita little longer than I think most expectWatch at: 01:18:00 / 01:18:20um worth it I would say once again itsounds like you miss the ending butworth it I would say if you're a big fanI think takedown says the same samething if you're a big fan go into thisknowing what you're gonna get go into itknowing the difficulty of that weirdranged thing it is for a select group ofturn-based strategy people it is not forWatch at: 01:18:20 / 01:18:40all turn-based strategy people it's notlike monster hunter world where it wastaking something that was highly complexand trying to make it so more peoplecould get in this is just like hard Westwhere it's taking it and it's adjustingstuff and and actually adding crunchwhich for a lot of people is gonna bethe biggest positive let's go to did weWatch at: 01:18:40 / 01:19:00build that yeah we build that so you cansee that we built that will go to crewquarters and money I don't know takedown I didn't have any problem moneywith money because in the next level youget the ability to forge your own cashso it's like I was just forging a bunchof cash and and I felt yeah that helpedWatch at: 01:19:00 / 01:19:20a lot we'll go back here I liked theinvestigative parts I liked the MP canyou rename your soldiers yes you can letme show you something let me see if Ican show you this because it may the thewoody call it didn't pop up so you cansee here dismiss locate recall you canWatch at: 01:19:20 / 01:19:40see where they are right in the optionswhen you go into the crew quarters whenyou get Forgeunlocked when you get the ability for itshe's like three or four levels past 2or 3 3 to 4 levels passes you have theability to adjust their ID because whathappens is you you can see they're allthese guys's ID are fine but you'll getWatch at: 01:19:40 / 01:20:00ID exposed and when their ideas exposedtakes them longer to do things so inthis area you'll have a recall or you'llhave a rename and basically you forgethem new identities and at that pointyou are indeed able to change the nameof characters so it's it takes a littleWatch at: 01:20:00 / 01:20:20while um code by the way people askedabout the star this is me that's whythere's a star indicates your mainplayer um anything else take down beforeyou need to go oh no we covered itpretty much everything all the negativespositives yeah yeah it's it's been ablast guys I definitely appreciatepeople supporting these and subscribingand and all that stuff you knowWatch at: 01:20:20 / 01:20:40sometimes when especially when it'ssuper busy like this or when you havetechnical issues and it's hard to dovideo in the past there was just nothingI could do and here now with twitch youknow streaming here and in the futuremay be streaming on YouTube as well it'snice to be able to sort of you knowbring some information to you guys in inWatch at: 01:20:40 / 01:21:00a unique form and and sort of answerthese questions in real time so the onlyway to play is the behold yes yeah yougot to beat that to play the beholderthey unlock basically that it's aspecial faction unlocks I I like it manI think I mean I get what I get whattake down saying but I mean maybe it'sjust cuz he's dumb right like let's justWatch at: 01:21:00 / 01:21:20go with that just joking but I reallyliked reading this stuff but that'sbecause I'm sort of above like I likethese kind of things did you ever seelike it was unfair did it ever seem likeit was unfair if you're if you're awareof the system's does it give you all theinformation that you need no no I don'tWatch at: 01:21:20 / 01:21:40think I I think that's the one caveat toall this is that the information that itdoes lay out isn't what some playersneed but it fits the spy motif I wouldsay that it fits the spy motif but it'sthere are times where you can getWatch at: 01:21:40 / 01:22:00a little it can be a little difficult tobe like what the hell and I saw a reviewwhere somebody was like or a spy game itgave out less information than I everexpected and I can absolutely see peoplebuying this and feeling that way but youknow what it's steam right you got areach steam refund you can always buy ityou got your two hours that is it for usI'll probably be doing a livestreamWatch at: 01:22:00 / 01:22:20later today on some other games maybe infact take down will join me we've beendoing a [ __ ] ton a hunt showdown

  1. hi from an old gamer , really like this type off video you have done here , helped me so much with the game. keep up the good work its a joy to watch your video's thumbs up .

  2. Thanks for posting. I def won’t be purchasing this game just because of the wonky ability to hit anyone and be hit from anywhere. No miss system!? Ridiculous! Even trained marksman can miss. Very disappointed as I was looking forward to another great game in this genre.

  3. I really liked the investigation stuff. Yeah, the mini-game is a bit flat, but as someone who hates reading lore and story, it was a great way to get me to enjoy it.

  4. You point out broken femurs multiple times, and it's good to see that the game characters are more realistic and don't suffer from osteoporosis. Carrying weapons and other basic equipment while jumping from such heights is not much of a problem in real life, even when the landing surface is asphalt or concrete.

  5. Just a heads up, the Forger will be available from the start, you just need to purchase it from the Workshop, up at the top. As soon as you're done with the tutorial, it'll be ready.

  6. It good game but the people shot to far the paper work take too long and find mission take to long all you do fly around and around get boring at least in x com you have mission fast this take all day to get to mission

  7. By the way the story is awesome. You can spot a shitton of actual events that really happened and real people. Like the Beirut US embassy bombing in 18. April 1983 and the sinking of K-429 did actually happen in 23. June 1983. I think those are not spoilers since both were mentioned in the E3 trailer. But it is a huge part for me to spot all the real people and world events they have tied into the story. 😛

  8. In infiltration enemies might also recognise you even if you are not trespassing and sound the alarm if your ID is exposed. Also your change to get ambushed is much higher. And I think using disguises do not work. You know you can tresspass freely around enemies if you use disguise? You can set in on at the team selection if you have made tactical recon. Enemies might see through it and enemy agents always do but there is the actor trait so that the disguise cannot be blown except by enemy agents.

  9. Before sending agents to investigate "Suspicious Activity" on the world map, you can see a timer for how long that "suspicious activity" will be there by hovering over it. If it will take longer than that for your closest agent to get there, don't bother.

    To help with this, keep your unused/inactive agents spread out across countries, unless you need them at hideout.

    To start an actual combat mission, your agents DO NOT need to already be in that city.

  10. I liked playing this game but tbh I was exploiting the save mechanic where if you fck up you just reload the last turn but towards the end I was using it less and less .
    I do think its more aimed at stealth since if you make them aware early your going get messed up so the basic way to play this is as follows :
    Make sure you have one agent that wears a disguise that agents can not break (1 at first but you can get 2) this makes it so you can walk around and get all the loot and take down enemy agents and plan your moves.
    You can either move the other agents around to get the easy stuff/disable security etc or just keep them near the escape place(Most mission you can see where the escape is) since your going to stealth you can even call in the escape car and as long as your not spotted its fine to stay there and if you get spotted you have 3 turns to get out(or just load the last save and make sure you dont get spotted).
    This makes getting skills for your people hp and awareness based since all you need is the ones that wear disguises to have higher hp than the enemy and the only weapons you need is a silences smg.
    If you like guns blazing you can but your going to get wrecked with the fact that they can shoot through full cover and from across the map in situations you shouldn't be able to get line of sight so while this is a thing the best way is to just stealth the missions.

    I also thought sending people on a mission that could speak the language was a thing but in my play through it didnt matter if they could speak the language all you needed was your disguise agent with high hp and you will not have any problems .
    As for your base you do need to keep making cash by forging and items in the workshop to be able to pay for moving your hideout but as long as you keep the enemy bases down your going to be ok but at the start you will need to get all the loot from missions to sell and make items to sell .

  11. Just started watching your video, here is a quick tip for you about windows. To avoid busting windows just simply click a few squares at a time till you avoid the path of the window. This game is meant for you to take your time.

  12. Not sure if you know this, but during the recon of a site in the world map, if you see the handcuffs icon, it indicates enemy action. You can react to it proactively by going into it and performing an available action, if you have sufficient time and assets in or near the location. Your available response can vary from covert action, where you choose agents to break the enemy infiltration of the area, to a full-blown assault in the isometric tactical. As a huge fan of Silent Storm and new XCOM, this game is awesome. There's work to be done on the production side of things but it is still enjoyable.

  13. Also not sure I like the idea of enemy AI never miss…
    I don’t like it when it feels the AI ‘cheat’ …. have unfair advantage… x ray vision, never miss etc.

  14. The Analysis part using the cork board is a great part of the game much overlooked. Its a touch too "pixel-bitching" in its implementation yet even so its a great attempt to merge analysis with tradecraft in the field. Idealy indiviual players should be able to adjust the amount of each action they want – analysis heavy, balanced, field work.

  15. Bought it the last day of the winter steam sale; absolutely love it, can't keep off of it. My major gripe tough is that suppressors completely destroy game balance and difficulty… I'd also have preferred that only concealable weapons (compact smg's and pistols) makes you not openly hostile; it's kinda goofy otherwise to have someone in tight clothes suddenly pulling up a huge light machine out out of its ass…
