No, I didnt get all upgrades. I didnt know I couldnt leave the mine once I entered
I believe I got 2 health upgrades, maybe leaving only one to get? I dont recall. Theres more health lying around the ground so its possible to beat him, I just get flustered, the rocks dont offer me much cover when Im drinking and the bastard comes around the side and pops me one, lol. Did you have all upgrades b4 entering the mine? and if not, were you able to play more afterwards, getting 100% of everything? I hope it allows me to do so. Im only at 370 points b4 the battle, Id hate to start over again.
Damn its moments like that where Id love to kill the natural light in that mine, and go sam fisher on his ass.
Condemned.... I just beat chapter 4 using no firearms. 1 - 4 stats at the end showed I used No firearms, yet it didnt give me the Silver melee
I'll try another map with just melee, if it doesnt give it to me, fug it.
I was about to apologize for raping this thread with GUN/Condemned topics, but I forgot which thread this was your just advertising, its ok
seriously, i didn't have all the upgrades, after you finish off mcgruder, you'll see the ending, watch the credits, and it will give you mcgruders shotgut (i think it was called the nok gun or something like that) and it will start you off at the outside of the mine and your free to do all the side quests and explore around. i did all the side quests after. you might have to start over if you want all the gold though because theres quite a bit of it, and its VERY hard to look at the guides and figure out which pieces your missing. i'm missing 2 pieces, and can't find the last 2 even with guides. (also giving a heads up that its only going to give you the achievement for beating the game on the difficulty your on, it won't give you the easier ones like pgr/perfect dark)
condemned was a great game, just gonna give you a heads up now in case you didn't see it your first time through, on the last boss sometimes a glitch will cause your weapon to dissapear. if this happens you'll have to kick him in the face until you can rip it off. the game allows you to change difficulty at any time though, so you don't have to kick his ass (quite literally) on hard.
also, the game only counts your last run through a level, what i mean by this is you finish level 5 your first time through and get all the birds, but miss a metal piece, after beating the game, you go back through that level and get all the metal pieces, but only grab 5 birds since you already have all six in that level, only the time you got the 5 will be saved so you won't get the golden bird achievement if you didn't have it already
----edit---
one more thing about condemned, each achievement you unlock, you can go into the achievements option on the main page and select it to view various things such as concept art, the making of, and stuff like that, i belive it was the golden bird award that had a real cool video of a game that looks like condemned but i assume it got scrapped and was renamed to condemned when finished (you'll see why if you unlock it)
