The Path of Neo

[Phienyx]

Yes.  Are you on TS right now?

[Phienyx]

I finally got things up and running....sort of.

My controls seem to be all funky.  w/o my hand on any of the controls, Neo seems to be running constantly in circles to the left.  Nothing I've done has remedied this situation yet, but it makes him nearly impossible to control.

yep i had the same problem with the game sometimes it would do it sometimes it wouldn't ... part of the problem was that i had a joystick connected to the computer.  I took that off and had fewer problems but it would still happen from time to time.

[Phienyx]

I hear you can use a game-pad with the game.  Is this true and if so, how?

[Phienyx]

Ok. I got everything working.  The running in circle thing had to do with 2 other controllers I had plugged in.  My game-pad and my flight stick.  After unplugging both of those, I had no other control issues other than the ones that come with the game.

Its an awesome game, but it could have used another 6 months of beta testing and polish to iron out some of the control/camera issues.

[Pirus]

good glad the joystick/gamepad was the issue as it was with mine and yes i agree the graphics could have been beefed up atleast on the charactor models and there are some serious flaws with the camera but all in all its still fun

[Phienyx]

The hand to hand combat system is the best.  I wish there was an option to not draw weapons at all if you wish to use hand to hand combat only....or is there?

I wish more fighting games used a system like this.

[Pirus]

there is .. I tend to holster the guns and just fight hand to hand sometimes not sure of the command but thats what the book/options panel is for.

[Phienyx]

I'll take a look.  The entire control/options set up seems clunky and "cramp inducing" as its been described.

[Phienyx]

Ok I officially HATE this game...or should I say I hate the designers.  I'm on "The Witch" level and this has got to be the most retarded level in the game.  Not only does this bitch get in some magical stuns from half way across the room, most of the stuff you throw at her misses.  On top of that, Since you can't hit her when she has that green crap around her, she revives what little damage you do to her when you can hit her.  Does anyone else find this utter ridiculous or is it just me?

[Phienyx]

Ok.... *deep breath*

Those of you who have played this for PC, how did you get past this level?

[Subb]

You put one leg ontop of your computer desk, a duck on your head and whistle to "Mary had a little lamb" to increase your damage by 500%.


Hope this helps!

AHA!!!

That wouldn't surprise me.  I love the fighting system in this game, but the unexplainable features just to provide some artificial difficulty is what annoys the hell out of me.  I know this is normal in all games, but its never ceases to irritate me.   Such as this:  Take the SWAT  team members with the Plexi-glass ballistic shields.  Do you seriouslly think "The One" would have a problem throwing a punch or a kick right through that thing?  Seriously!  Somehow I don't think a guy that can fly, run through walls, and take on hundreds of agents and survive would be knocked around by a couple of men in plexi-glass shields......LOL.

Anyway.  Any actual tips would nice.

[Phienyx]

Well, I finally beat this game.  Aside from the control and camera issues, its a pretty good game.   Most of the frustrations I suffered were due to the fact you have to replay a level a million times until you either got the right timing down, or you figure out how to beat a "boss" or level.  You know, the normal single player game stuff.
