I had Monaco 2 on my watchlist. Now it’s on sale and it reminded me that I never really joined a multiplayer game in the first one. Because I’m afraid that being a noob I will ruin the game for everyone. Same with Due Process. Of course that is a vicious cycle where I keep being noob but don’t join a game out of fear of doing a noob thing. Not noticing something important, not timing something right, etc

Multiplayer in itself is not a problem, I have been playing other multiplayer titles. Both as a noob and a veteran. But the heist theme feels daunting

In a way I feel Payday was kind of easier in that regard because it was geared towards that “oops, I guess we are shooting now”

Has anyone had similar feeling? I probably should “just do it"
I feel like on the first game I should warn the lobby that I’m a noob, at which point I expect half of them to leave :D

    I think I remember some early tech demo videos from that one. Is it able to provide a challenge when everything can be torn down?

      Each level has multiple things to steal/destroy but once you pick up/destroy the first thing, the alarm goes off and a timer starts.

      The gameplay is mostly setting up the heist. You break holes in walls, build bridges, set up chain reactions, etc to find a route that picks up everything and escape in time. You have limited ammo but you get unlimited spray paint to mark the path for yourself

      I know some people hate it but my only complaint is that some of the DLC is pretty meh. Base game is a blast, though!

      [Edit] also, I would avoid watching anyone play it BUT it won’t necessarily spoil any “solutions” because there’s an infinite amount of ways you can beat a level
