Nice to Know I'm not the ONLY 1 Falling...lol. | Lets Play Mirror's Edge [Part 2]

I've never had the balance, stamina, or sheer guts to run, jump, and parkour like people do in those amazing videos - but I'm TOTALLY down for trying it in a video game! Typically, you watch these people do amazing acrobatical moves with the fluidity of smooth running water, but brace yourself... I am not that! I'm more likely to look like a wrecking-ball going through a glass-maze...lol, but we're gonna have a great time either way.
I really hope you have an awesome time with me, and if you do, it would be amazing if you'd consider subscribing.
Thanks,
Benjamight

Hey, you pulled off the gesture, good one. To us Americans it looks like a peace sign but it is actually a _reversed_ peace sign. In countries like the UK, this is basically flipping the bird at someone 😅
Have you thought about giving the mouse and keyboard a shot? It really helps when you can quickly swing the camera around to orient yourself and chart a path. IMO, there's a noticeable loss of precision/responsiveness when using a controller in first person games, and that problem is exacerbated in a fast-paced title like ME. I find the button layout better on the keyboard too, but of course stick with the controller if it's more comfortable for you.
Nice job getting the disarm timing down too! If the situation gets too hot don't be afraid to use the guns to your advantage. Firearm combat really isn't a big focus in this game but it can help you chain together kills very well in a pinch.

Man, I wish I would have found this comment before last nights recording...lol. I was avoiding weapons, because I was kind of under the impression I wasn't supposed to try to shoot people, and man - there are some sections in Part 4 & 5 where using guns would have changed things so much (I actually gave up and caved in on literally the last fight of the game - but I was almost ready to give up...lol). You're right, the turning with the controller, did feel pretty slow, especially when standing still - if I play the sequel, I might give M&K a try.

@@BenjamightGaming At least you don't even have to worry about that choice in Catalyst! The guns are like biocoded or something, so Faith can't use them even if she wanted to

[@Isaacfess]

Already doing better than the first episode with the parkour!
On repeat playthroughs it is a ton easier to get around and get in a real flow state, makes sense too since Faith has been around the city.
I also love the design of the buildings you go into, something about the modern flat style that just works well.

You bring up a point that I mention several times in coming episodes - I feel like this game was designed for repeat playthroughs, and NOT for a first timer. It's so brutal with the police, the navigation system is so poor, and you die SO easy - that I feel like they expect people to already know where to go in order to actually enjoy the running portion of the game. But you can't know where you're going, unless you've played that chapter before...lol. I bet on a repeat playthrough this would feel like a totally different game, but for a first time.......... ah.... I'm still a bit bitter...lol. ;-) (don't worry, you'll see why in the future videos).

The art style is really good . Both in game and cutscenes .
These guys just don't know when to quit .

[@BenjamightGaming]

Oh, you have no idea Alex... the 'Blue's' start to get out of control in the coming episodes...lol.
