The battle against William Taggart where you confront him about Humanity Front's involvement in the attack on Sarif Industries in the middle of a live televised press conference.The battle against David Sarif, where Jensen can make his own boss confess and deeply regret an unknown transgression against the former that ended up contributing to the current mess.Talking down a hostage-taker with no assistance while the hostage is sobbing and crying and the unhinged criminal keeps periodically jabbing his gun into the hostage's head is one of the most intense experiences - and most rewarding when you win. The first battle against Zeke Sanders, especially given the fact that at this point you (probably) don't have the CASIE aug: you're literally arguing with someone based entirely on your own personal ability to read their actions, body language and personality without any of the assistance like the persuasion bar or the personality summary.I think this experience with player efficacy is relatively true to gaming, and perhaps more generally (you know, like in life): Often, it's not enough to give people incentives to complete a difficult but desirable task you also want to assure them it can be accomplished. Just having the reassurance that I wasn't wasting my time gave me enough confidence to do so. (And I did it a bit like this video above, with little or no kills, using the PEPs and tranq gun, and face-punching takedowns.) And the funny thing is this: I think I was finally successful, simply because I saw video proof that it was possible to succeed. I mean, it still took ten tries without dying, but I was almost successful with every attempt. And pointed to YouTube videos like this, in which other players documented their success:Īfter watching this, rescuing Malik suddenly and instantly became relatively easy. But then my friend Howard Berkey told me no, you really can rescue her.
After several tries where I just got slaughtered myself, I assumed that her death is what game designers call "forced failure" - a game resolution that the player has no control over. But seeing as she's besieged by nearly ten heavily armed commandos and a battle bot, it seems impossible to rescue her. You have the option of just escaping, but if you do that, Malik is slaughtered. I'm talking, of course, about the ambush on Malik's airship.
