SSA 2 pt 5 when?

Just curious if anyone knows.


EDIT: Thanks to you guys, I have the edited arc on video now for archival purposes.

Thanks again.

Is it even getting released?

never...the game is over dude..move on

Oh I thought it was in and scheduled to automatically come out, like the last couple.

There's that Admiral guy by Posi in Steel Canyon that does... nothing right now. It's not him?

I'd be more excited for the SSA if I was actually subbed come announcement. I'm sure that it's a good one, though!

No, the hero contact is a Nemesis Jaeger up in northeast Steel.

Thanks for the info, I will check out the beta server.

Video edited and uploaded.

Thanks gang.

In case anyone doesn't want to (or can't) go on Beta, here's a quick rundown:

HERO:
1: For some reason, there's a Nemesis Jaeger in Steel spewing propaganda, which when spoken to kindly informs you that Nemesis is planning to attack City Hall. You relay this tidbit to Positron, who agrees to send the Freedom Phalanx to City Hall with you... but what if that's a diversion? A-ha, he's also planning to attack Talos... but wait, that might be a diversion as well! Why look, he's also attacking a radio station! Basically, based on your dialog choices, you can have all, some or none of the Phalanx accompany you to City Hall. Sadly, there's no badge for doing it alone.

You arrive and clobber three Jaeger that are powered by Pandora energy, but aren't too hard. Then an empowered Warhulk, who also isn't too hard.

2: You need to cut Nemesis off from the Pandora energy, so you go to Harvin's lab. You battle some Nemesis, push some buttons, then battle more Nemesis, during which you can push more buttons to prevent more Nemesis from coming. Then you push another button and the lab blows up, although all you get is a message that the lab blows up before the mission ends. Maybe they were planning to add SFX later.

3. Nemesis is attacking Steel Canyon! You go to an instanced Steel map and defeat empowered Warhulks, who give you "Pandora Power" or something, which adds -res to your attacks plus a chance to proc EXTREME!!!!1 energy damage. Then you fight the Nemesis Monstrosity, a three story tall Warhulk. It looked really cool, but wasn't too hard: I beat it with the gimmick petless MM I made on Test.

After the fight, you blow up, pass out, and awake in Fort Trident, where Posi spends eight dialog screens filling you in on his affair with a Russian researcher... wait, that's not it. He actually congratulates you, says that Nemesis if defeated, and the Phalanx needs to shape up more.

Then, out of the blue, you go to Ouroboros to talk to Mender Silos, who gives you a bunch of vague, blow-off answers about how he could have helped you but didn't. He doesn't say or even hint that he really is Nemesis, which I found disappointing.

VILLAIN:

In Sharkhead, you find "Inconspicuous Female #23573", a Nemesis Automaton who thinks it's 2013 and is telling you how to live under Nemesis' rule. You speak to Lastri, who calls you to a debriefing on your ship. Along with Odysseus, Captain Castillo, and two other guys, she tells you that you need to name your organization "The Illuminati" because you work behind the scenes and stuff. Whatever. Then, she says you need to make a truce with Arachnos. So, you go to the Grandville instanced map, and meet Ghost Widow, Black Scorpion and Scirocco. They won't let you in to see Recluse, so you pummel them, which is not too hard with your allies' help. You then go in the tower and talk to Recluse, who snarls at you but agrees to a truce.

The second and third missions are the same as the hero ones. After that, another debriefing, where Lastri tells you she won't be working with you anymore. As she leaves, you drop a tracking device down her cleavage, treating you to a cutscene where she talks to her boss. Surprise- she was working with the heroes all along, to form a rival organization to weaken Arachnos. You aren't told who the hero is, but when he says he's off to an orgy tonight it's kind of clear it's Manticore. After that, you go to Ouro for the same vague answers from Silos.

All in all, it was pretty good but not as great as the first SSA. Maybe a few more coats of polish would have brought it to the same level.

Since it's not guaranteed that I'll get to Beta to run this (tho hoping to), Thanks for the spoilers and humor. " ...where Posi spends eight dialog screens filling you in on his affair with a Russian researcher... wait, that's not it." ROFL!!!!

SSA 2 seemed like it involved the player more, but had less epic moments, obviously, than SSA 1, so it is different strokes for different folks.

IMO it had a lot less obvious plot holes and wall-banging moments than SSA1. Who Will Die had a lot of "forced to be stupid" moments that made me want to reach through the screen and shake the characters because they were being so dense.

I just played the redside version, and man, that was a damp squib of an ending. Did I miss anything, or was there any indication as to who Lastri was talking to at the end?
