Part 5: Episode 5: Garbage Disposal

Episode 5: Garbage Disposal

The title is a bit misleading, but in a good way. We not only deal with the first major challenge of the game (and the last time we'll need to rely on the environment to do something for us) and then hit the last stealth section of the game. I mention in the video I did a "loud" run through the area and I can throw that up as a bonus video, but the main reason it got cut is because I got lost. I mention it a dozen times, but there is not direction marker or anything in the game, so it's difficult to figure out where to go sometimes. We also get to meet Capek, whose name you remember to spell because he wears a cape(k). Anyways, next video we'll follow him deeper into his complex and get to see some serious shit.

All jokes aside, this area could be what makes you give up on the game if you decide to go silent. There is precious little ammo and no melee button without the doctor's suit, meaning you could miss enough shots to run out of bullets a couple times. If they meant for you to go stealth it wasn't well thought out.
