Do me a favor and help me eliminate YBWO next :slight_smile:

It has no business surviving beyond this round as one of the most linear BM missions.

You better watch out?Sorry,but itā€™s one of the best Blood Money missions.The Christmas atmosphere is awesome,the soundtrack is one of my favourites,it is a great mission for sniping(or pistol sniping) and I honestly donā€™t understand how you could call it linear.Oh yeah and there is a santa suit.

Are you OK?

Chad has a total of 2 intended ways to kill him, one of which takes decades to set up. If uninterrupted, he never leaves the jacuzzi which is in a wide open area with 7+ witnesses. There are only 2 ways up from the beginning and one of them is so useless that Iā€™ve only seen it used once on youtube - by myself. The OP guard disguise is incredibly easy to get (which you complained about for ANL), and there are no incentives to go for any of the other disguises.

As far as sniping is concerned you have 1 specific place (roof of the bar area) for Lorne and none for Chad unless you count sniping him from the opposite balcony while heā€™s smoking which is pointless because at that point you can just shoot him with a pistol or push him over. Lorneā€™s body will inevitably be found if you do this method because of his dog, who can infamously be a witness.

Just a gimmick disguise that has very little purpose except for youtuber jokes.

There is a good reason why this level had one of the longest standing records in Blood Money (I think close to 10 years) and thatā€™s certainly not because it allows creativity.

To sum it up:

  • One stationary target that can only be manipulated in one way (or I guess explosions/gunshots but those are never consistent)
  • Very little sniping opportunity
  • Vertical layout greatly restricts movement (studio also has only 2 ways to reach it)
  • Long elevator ride at the start prolonging the level for no reason.
  • Boring third objective, but at least itā€™s always on your path because of how the level forces you to go to the studio every time. Itā€™s also fun to try to coordinate around the guard movements in the room.
  • Most disguises are pointless compared to the easy-to-get bodyguard.
  • Incredibly light security around Lorne, with his room being completely empty and his floor easy to reach even in a suit.
  • The helicopter exit is always the preferable choice because of its proximity to the studio unless youā€™re going for SA on Pro and you have to get your suit back.

Completely agree on that front. It was actually my favourite level for a long time and I remember it was the first I really figured out how to do with SA without any guide. I sometimes boot it up just to walk around and listen to Vegas.

They wanted this played on their funeral:

RIP RiR.

Summary

This is the song played in the gangā€™s bar. Funny how relevant the lyrics are.

I am immortal.

Half-blind and spitting straight into the wind,
Down, down, trying to drag me down.

Itā€™s all right, I go to dreaming.
Itā€™s all right, I go to dreaming.

In dog yearsĆ¢?Ā¦

The blood of lions,
I, liquefying.
I ainā€™t dying.
I am immortal.

Two intended ways which can be done in a lot of different ways.
The jacuzzi can be shot from a lot of different positions(which is exactly the reason why I love this level so much).
The aphrodisiac option lets you kill Chad in a lot of different places(you can push him into the empty pool,you can kill him in the hallway and hide him using the waterfall before he reaches his private room,he can be pushed over the balcony where he smokes or one of my personal discoveries to wait less is that you can place a bomb on the balcony and watch him die from above because the explosionā€™s impact will be powerful enough to launch his body over the balcony which means his body will be hidden).
Oh,and except those 2 methods I have seen the method shown in this video as well.

Is it less useful?Yes.Is it complete useless?No.
I havenā€™t seen your video,but I know that there is a free bartender disguise in the staff area(and the bartender disguise is allowed everywhere on the map,even on the studio floor) and you have a great view to shoot the pool from there as well.

The difference between A new life and You better watch out is that the disguises in A New life other than the bodyguard donā€™t have access on the last floor of Vinnieā€™s house,get frisked or have other disadvantages and are more difficult/take more time to obtain.
In You Better Watch Out,there are 3 disguises which are allowed everywhere(or almost everywhere,even on the studio floor):bodyguard,bartender,photographer;and all of them are easy to get and each of them can be useful if you want to use a different route.

Here is a video of mine:

The dog can become a witness indeed,but is unable to find bodies on its own,so if you are fast enough you should be able to exit the level without getting his body found after sniping him(I remember I managed to do that once).Lorneā€™s body gets found after some time,but thatā€™s because the dog alerts a guard.

Uhmmā€¦By sniping I donā€™t necessarily mean ballistic kills.I also include accident kills like the pool one which can be done using a sniper rifle.

A disguise which surprisingly has a lot of access(as shown in my video) and doesnā€™t get frisked though.It is true that itā€™s not the best disguise gameplaywise,but itā€™s fun for roleplaying.:grin:

ā€¦but can be killed from a lot of different spots using the pool accident(tell me if you want them to be listed).

The ride includes listening to the awesome Vegas soundtrack,so I donā€™t see any problem here. :wink:

Well,yes,but the video tape is a tricky objective and balances things a little bit.I also donā€™t think itā€™s easy to reach the studio floor in the suit unless you get shot by bodyguards(and I hate that thing a lot).

And why is having more exits a complaint?
