WE'RE TAKING OVER THE WORLD!! - This is PRE-RELEASE gameplay up until Episode 9, so the game may change after today (release). I've also learned a ton since starting recording this series, and you can see my Top Ten Tips on the game (which I don't necessarily follow early in this series) by watching this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIilmWiNgMuge9E Special thank you to Rebellion for the early access! It's been awesome learning your game!

[@nplhed]

It is my first time watching you play and this game is so ffun

[@Anastas1786]

So, Emma left the Forces of Justice not long after the last evil genius was overthrown, because she felt frustrated and betrayed when, rather than making the liberated world better, they just went back to their old rivalries and trade disputes and junk?

[@grisharotov9735]

More or less.

[@METALFREAK03]

Very realistic

[@MVPUnlucky]

A very relatable story. Imagine being intelligent enough to understand the threads of society. To see and understand the ills and events that led up to this grand travesty that was your life's work to prevent/stop. Only for it all to reset once it's over and every ounce of work you put into saving the world was for nothing. To come to this nihilistic conclusion that nothing you ever did or will do will ever save anyone forever, and it was all for naught. It's enough to drive anyone mad that's for sure.

[@nevermore7285]

Yeah, she became very nihilistic. She’s the only evil genius who doesn’t want to rule the world, she wants to burn it.

[@ight_of_heart]

She fell to the Dark Side of the Force

I love the power system because there’s something so funny to me about a criminal mastermind building up their lair but then all of the lights turn off because they forgot to pay the power bill.

[@flufflepuff2674]

I find that A.I thing humerous. It's like your minions are like "Uh, this is a restricted area, sir!" and they're just like "So anyway, I started blasting." Total over-reaction, if you ask me.

To be fair- the real reason why the forces of justice are so. Let's say Paranoid- Is because your the SECOND evil genius. Of COURSE they begin checking all the shady places of the world, because of what happened last game.

Thanks! - glad you enjoy!

[@Comicsluvr]

Regarding the judiciary showing up before you've committed a crime: Simply building some of your rooms is a crime. You'll notice that the bad guys never try to wreck the Cafeteria or the Barracks because serving food and having beds isn't illegal (yet...). However, owning gold in huge quantities IS illegal under most circumstances. So is building computers for the sole purpose of coordinating illegal activities around the globe.

[@ceu160193]

Most BS part is that bad guys(that are actually good guys) would consider killed minions as "evidence" of your wrongdoing, and super agents may even plant evidence for other agents to find. I thought Forces of Justice aren't supposed to resort to such dirty tricks.

[@StarlasAiko]

They're forces of justice. Of course they play dirty. Justice serves only the authorities, not the ethical right. Real world police is not supposed to plant evidence either, but it happens all the time when somebody is inconvenient to some political or economic bigwig.

Came here from the Escapists (Yahtzee) video. One thing you said really stood out and that is that Rebellion are behind this game. The reason that name stood out was because they are also behind possibly one of their more notable works, “the warriors” but also a couple of games I’ve played/playing, those being “Strange Brigade” and the “Zombie Army” titles (trilogy and Dead War)

Two things. 1- There were different NDA sent out some were able to show what others could not. 2- my issue with the game is the traps are now all in one, in the first game you got to set up triggers for the traps

[@keinenbockmehr1749]

Personally I hated that I had to place triggers and connect everything. I always played without placing any traps at all after my first try... Guess how much fun I had with the first game. Even in EG2 I mostly rely on my guards and only place a handful of traps... mostly because I don't think that they are very effective. I mean, they always get disabled...

Everyone multitasks, and thinks of multiple things at once. Everyone always weighs various options before deciding of something, or tries to take on multiple things at the same time.

Content creators like me simply let you hear those thoughts out loud.
