This is an absolutely dumb save system they've got here.

"Save last checkpoint" is my only option for saving the game? Really?

I picked it up pretty cheap on a whim. It's one of those games with a ton of glitches and other problems that has occasional showings of a good game buried somewhere in there.

The save system is one of those problems. And just wait until you get to a boss fight. I actually stopped playing due to how glitchy and ridiculous the second one I got to was. Apparently using pistols makes the game a cakewalk, but I went assault rifle.

Oh well.

Yeah, I picked it up for like $5 during the last Steam sale.

Haven't gotten too far into it yet. It definitely feels like there's a decent amount of potential there, but also some glaring flaws. The hacking is pretty terrible, for example, mainly because you can't move the passcodes fast enough. It's so bad that one of the first abilities I bought was the one that makes hacking easier. And yeah, the save system. Abysmal.

Still, gonna keep playing because I do like it so far.

Pretty solid game that excels in story and interactions, but is a bit disappointing elsewhere. Definitely need to give it a second playthrough at some point.

Where are you at in the game right now? Still in the Middle East?

One thing I do like about the game is the whole suave/professional/aggressive thing, which the devs said allowed you to be the "three JBs" or something like that. James Bond, Jason Bourne, and Jack Bauer. Thought that was kinda cool.

Oh, yeah, I'm still in the Middle East. Haven't made too much progress.
