    Finished the game my thoughts on a few things.

    Ok, I have been playing games on different types of computers since 1985 starting on a Commodore 64. I am now a 69-year-old pensioner and play on a PC. I finished the game in 31 hrs which I purchased the gold edition in a Black Friday sale with 50% off. Now I here on this site I read that people are sick of the capture scenes on Jacobs area.
    When I had the first one I struggled with it but after a few times of getting killed or running out of time, I eventually mastered it. Playing the game I have the play level set to normal but when I got to the capture scenes I changed it to easy. Basically, you have to run around and learn which way to go. It is a bit driving on a new road the more you drive on it the more you get to know it. On the second capture scene when I fell down the hole thing I thought that I had finished like the first one but know you had to keep on going shooting the ghosts until you killed the last one. Anyway, after mastering these, I found them relatively easy.

    Faith. Again killing her practice makes perfect as the saying goes. Again after struggling with this on easy mode I watched a couple of videos on Youtube and they gave me a few clues. Again you have to play this running around but use a bit of timing to shoot at Faith. She fires these fireball things at you in I it was 3 at a time then a short gap before she fires more shoot at her between these gaps. Watch out for the zombies though. I finished this in 5 minutes. My weapon of choice was the Mars pack laser.

    This was my secondary weapon. My main one was a sniper rifle. Actually, the lase pistol had just about as much range as the sniper rifle and was good for shooting down planes and helicopters.

    The end game scene where you killed Joseph I used the laser pistol after figuring out what I had to do as your friends started shooting at you too as well as Joseph's men.

    Thanks for that tip!

    I had no problems with the forced linear parts )after being captured due to hitting the XP for that area). I don't know what the fuss has been about. You can't actually die in those parts. Maybe some players get all stressed because they are in a confined area against their own will and can;t simply shoot enemies the way they do in the open world?

    Anyway, thanks for letting everyone know you can switch to Easy Difficulty level once captured. I am sure a lot of people will find that part a bit easier.

    1) Mars weapons are so overpowered it is insane when used in the main campaign. So saying you don't see an issue, while using DLC super overpowered weapons, isn't saying much. It is like turning on God Mode, and saying what's so hard about this....??

    2) Unless you are talking about the small percentage of people with physical issues to twitch game play, most people don't have an issue with actually playing the capture scenes......it is just the stupid way they were handled and fact you are "captured" like 12 times in the game through all the different sections.....and even to the end, none of them just decide to put a bullet in your head cause you killed their sibling.....

    Honestly, as far as Faith goes, once you get her to the last sections where she is in the center, just chuck about 3 of the dynamite wrapped in bolts and she is dead in a few seconds....When I was doing an NG+ run with my son cause he wanted to play Co-op in a game, I killed her pretty much with ONLY explosives. May even be quicker and easier than Mars Weapons, if you have enough.....

    I don't see it like being a god mode as the weapon comes standard in the Gold edition. You cannot just hold the trigger and continuously fire as it runs out of charge. You have to wait 5 or 10 seconds while it charges up while running around getting shot at by Faith. While I waited for the laser gun to charge up I would shoot at her with a sniper rifle. BTW you could also use a rocket launcher to shoot at her too which you can pick up part way through the Faith episode.
