Topic: The Conduit 2 Details Revealed

Still waiting to see this game for 30$ or less till I try it That is getting harder to do though

Then in online multiplayer, the Strike Rifle would kill in 2 or 3 chest shots. Either way, the Strike Rifle does more damage per second than the USP.

TPC Launcher is meh at best, its alright for some spamming fun, but since its such a short distance its not all that helpful. The Carbonizer is ridiculously overpowered, I think it got dummed down for online though, all you have to do is change the fire mode so you can run quickly (Primary) and then change the alt fire again (Secondary) for some quick carbonizing. That 57,500 was a nightmare to get btw.

Those reviews are hilarious lol

^^ I'm gonna find it really hard to buy anything with HVS's logo stamped on it after seeing that. That is such an irrational and childish way to react... ugh. It's just unbelievably stupid on so many levels. :facepalm:

I'll admit that I found the Joystiq review hilarious though, haha.

Very unprofessional gesture from HVS, although I understand the guy's frustration since the article was more of a sadistic massacre than a review. He gives away the ending (apparently HVS thinks it's a very strong point of the game) and makes fun of them in a very unprofessional way himself too.

So yeah, childish, unexcusable and everything (although the leaked email doesn't sound THAT nasty!), but nothing excuses the reviewer for mocking a product that can be considered good, mediocre or bad but certainly isn't laughable as he pictured it.

You can argue they were implying to be malicious, but nothing in the e-mail says to post a negative review, and it does say to read the book first.

Anyway, back to the game. I got to play some splitscreen multiplayer with some friends, and we were pretty disappointed at the lack of control options given to guest players for splitscreen multiplayer. Is there any way to access the full control options for guest players, play with multiple local profiles, or even just use my profile's control options for everybody?

Note: I know I can give them my control customizations like using the minus button for a melee attack. I'm talking about stuff like complete turning speed, dead zone size, and camera style options.

Not that I condone HVS's behaviour, but that 'journalist' should never be allowed to write another piece again.

My God why can't these websites get decent editors? A halfway decent editor would tell that dude the review needs a complete rewrite.

the review thing blew up on high voltage with a bunch of people giving conduit 2 one star reviews. it was at 4 and a half stars a few days ago but it's down to two and a half now. oops! guess it works both ways.

I actually like Joystiq but wow that's bad.

also lol @ the people complaining that people didn't like a game that they need to defend so much because they think it deserves a full....7 out of 10!

Alright, I beat the China level, but I didn't find the blueprints (i found the coordinates, though). Does anyone know where they are (or where the blueprints are in the Serenity level)?

I almost want to buy the Conduit 2 now.

I'd say lol @ the people who think that the right way to "professionally review a game" is to spoil the ending and make gratuitous fun of the producers for no real professional reasons other then to come out as a cynical, commanding journalist.

oh no, that was awful, I'm just saying there are much better games that get unfair low scores (see: Air Ride, Kirby)

Kirby's Air Ride is a much better GameCube game than Conduit 2 is a Wii game?! I don't see it.

So, China blueprints, anyone?

China Blueprints... I've found a few but I don't think I've found them all. Found all of the weapon blueprints, only 6 or 7 I think, still need the upgrade blueprints or whatever, but I hate going through Washington D.C.

So where are they? Can you at least tell me which weopon's blueprints are in the game? I don't want to buy something that I can just find later.

By the way, I totally agree on Washington D.C. I did not like that level very much.

There's one blueprint on the upper level after going through one of the doors up the stairs in the "search for the elements" part. Can't remember where all of them are exactly, just do a lot of pinging.

Weapons:
Hive Cannon
Dark Star
TPC Launcher
Phase Rifle
Widowmaker Turret
Deatomizer Mk4

Upgrades:
Heavy Armor
Essence Salvage
Explosive Focus
Energy Focus
Ammo Belt
Stabilizer
Light Armor
Improved Melee
There's still more I need to find.

I'll post the rest up when I can remember them but if you do buy them you get your money back if you find them in the campaign so you don't lose out either way.

This is a surprise to no one?!

Except you?!

...

question mark explanation point

Kirby's Air Ride is very good but still just a poor man's Mario Kart. Conduit 2 is one of the two best FPS games on the Wii (Goldeneye being the other one) with online multiplayer that surpasses Halo 3 due to the much better controls.
