Ok, just played through the new Infiltrator mission.
I got pretty much everything, I think, took me one and a half hours.
Played on extreme difficulty. Humans with plasma weapons can melt you decently fast, but it was still very, very easy.
I did keep all the hud stuff activated because the game tells you to (as you're a terminator).
Anyway, had fun, but the terminator vision gets old (you can turn it off, but...). There's like an IR light in the middle of the screen and the corners can be dark-ish esp with nearby objects there.
Had ammo out the wazoo in spite of the high diff. mode.
I like that the map was from the main campaign and you get to see it from the machine side, sort of.
Found the bunker by accident though, same as with the science lab. Decided to ignore it at first to clear the rest of the map. No human survivors on my watch!
Enemies (including scavengers especially) could stand to have some sort of panic state or just act more scared of you, esp. after a few of them die. Some radio chatter you could pick up while playing of resistance types getting more and more desperate or something could help the atmosphere some more.
They also need to learn to throw some explosives ala Blood cultists and have more weaponry (RPG's or whatever).
I'll replay the campaign at some point with all the accessibility options/hud turned off, but idk. how much that will help. If enemies are deadly, you'll want to go slow and sneaky... Which is overpowered in every game pretty much.
Without the bullshit ultravision goggles (though they're iirc in movie one or two in the future war scenes?) marking enemies you may have some trouble during night missions because of the dusty lighting/post-processing making it hard to see clearly.
I'm curious if the A.I. improvements the devs have talked about help the main campaign be less easy to cheese, but I sure didn't notice anything during terminator mode.
The game is quite flawed from a difficulty standpoint but has some great atmosphere and is still the best Terminator thing since the first movie, maybe the first two.
To think the devs of Rambo: The Video Game managed to do the series justice to such a degree is pretty interesting. Some really dated cinematic/railroady elements here or there, though.
Nice of them to make a free DLC like this, even if it's short and easy. Kind of like making an Empire DLC for some Star Wars thing
This whole thing makes me wish we had a proper RPG, Deus Ex style immersive sim or some sort of survival thing with bunker building or whatever in this setting.
Lots of potential...
