last time on nintendogz2 watchdogz2:
Marcus stole a self-driving AI-car from nudle and went off-roading, met some weird hacker-kiddies, found a grumpy lego face, pushed a tram in SF w/ a Vespa and played wannabe-star in a Nicolas Winding Refn movie (hell YES!)
so, I finally did do some of the missions yesterday, that you are supposed to do/what normal people would do because the infinite possibilities of gaming dictate that you have to do the main plot-driving missions asap … but I digress.
So! Mission Time!
No, I honestly couldn’t even fabricate what happened right there, because I’d think that nobody would believe that shit. But here we are!
DEDSEC indeed is playing A-Team, while cueing some random 80ies style music, to build a (seemingly) self-driving car (that is actually remote-controlled)
('suuup there, SF-wizzard! Don’t look to grumpy next time I try to grab a selfie w/ ye)
This game delivers, nothing to be added here,
Next up - finally! - business as usual, a normal mission.
Steal truck X from place Y, because we need item Z it has tucked away inside it.
Off I went to that place and scouted the place using my RC-controlled car/drone. Thing is, security guards hate RC-cars and kick/shoot/kill them when they encounter one. Tried several times to get close enough to h4ck some dude that has the key I need to unlock the gates to steal aforementioned truck. RC-drone gets killed every time … fine, then I’m gonna hack that self-driving forklift
and place some boxes in your way that you cannot go up/down those stairs/get out of that building.
So the guards just jump off the stairs to the right and look for intruders, and then disable ctOS because DEDSEC has h4cked into their system. -.-*
Fine, then I’ll just spy this place out as a self-driving forklift and check for ways how I can get to that truck.
Turns out it isn’t
that easy, because those guards are very sensitive to anything suspicious, re: RC-drone.
However! A flash of genius strikes: Why not trying to push that truck with the forklift?
it works!
Pesky guards still notice that something’s off, and accordingly, I try to hide:
Lifted one of these palettes and slowly moved around, until guard went off again.
-> back to executing my sinister plan again …
… whilst always being careful not to alert any guard. Still, some are suddenly thinking “hey, something’s going on here, gotta check this out!” …
-> FREEZE ……… “nothing to report”.
… fast forward to the tl;dr-version:
the last few yards I hacked the truck and let it run straight out of the shipyard, crashing into that red truck you can see prepared in the background of the last screencap.
At this moment, switching back to Marcus, I suddenly realized what was going on here:
Shit got so tense that I had been trying to pass off as a self driving forklift, thinking that I must not look suspicious.
For god’s sake, I’ve been roleplaying as a forklift.
Lifting my forks and make-believe-moving boxes around to look unsuspicious.
The very moment I realized that I’ve experienced the weirdest gaming moment I’ve had in the last few years, I felt a bit like my mind was blown.
After pausing for a few minutes to let that sink in (+grabbing a bite & sth. to drink), I fvkked off w/ the l00t and delivered it to face-guy
while still being puzzled by how intense this RPG-experience has been.
Like, seriously. A forklift.
=> 8/10 already claimed.
Game has managed to look like a mighty GOTY2016 contender for me.
Next time on wdogz2: …… idk. I honestly don’t know!
