We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
I found that he did have a point where you could reliably throw at him.
After Tomassi does the sparkle + ground pound, he hovers, stunned, a few feet off the ground for a few seconds.
Finally got to fight the dreaded Tomassi I heard so much about. What a joke, seriously, do people not use shield and pierce? because it was very easy to fight him the same way you fight any other elevated type enemy.
Just go up to the upper level at the start of the fight, pierce his ass, launch stuff at the mobs, use shield when he can launch stuff at you and for the siren.
Anyway, I'm only five skill points away from the Platinum, might as well get it :)

Nice! Thanks for that. I haven't seen the main menu in so long I guess I forgot.
Beat the game today. Excellent game that came a little short in a few places.
Highlights
Highlights
- The world building and story. Really no complaints at all, beyond "why wasn't X fully explained" but it's just not that sort of universe.
- Favorite moment was actually when the
. I loved the whole final section of the game actually, minus one thing below.game crashed during the false credits.
- I felt way too powerful by the end. I could one shot pretty much everyone with a Pierce headshot, even shielded guys. Fully upgraded launch was disgustingly powerful.
- No real final boss? There were some really great optional bosses especially
, so this was a real bummer.esseJ and the Anchor (although the latter seems to be divisive)
- Small thing but there were so many documents about the building "shifting", I was expecting that to pay off in a bigger way.
He seems to be stuck in the motel or something, poor fella.
I finished and platinumed the game a couple of hours ago... I must say that I really enjoyed and liked it!! The ending could have been better though but at least we got the DLC after launch to know more about what happened.

*sudden burst of red light and disturbing noise that freaks me out when I just want to look for paperwork*
whelp, i'm out
I was literally about to start the mission again because of this section. I was having audio problems and it wasn't playing the radios. So I reloaded the game and thought the way out was bugged. Quite the relief.
Indeed, there were a lot of these small moments that really help make the game come together.
I meantioned before but the Board is awesome. There were a lot of smart uses of the double, even triple, meaming of words. I have only one saved here but there were dozens that I could post here just to illustrate this.
If you don't then you need to hand in your gamer card, because that's frankly unacceptable.
Your so good at these. Can't wait for a photo mode on PS4.
I'm the only one who got the 100% ability upgrade trophy (master parautilitarian) without completing the entire tree for each ability? Don't know if I was "lucky" and got it because of a glitch lol
I love that costume!! Is great
Finally finished with the game after 33 hours and I have a few random thoughts.
- If it wasn't for the Resident Evil 2 Remake this would be my favorite game of the year.
- Really disappointed that sales are off to a slow start. This is another example of a great single player game being ignored. I'll be there day one for the DLC assuming it comes to PC.
- Dr. Darling is in excellent shape for a scientist in his 50's.
- The janitor deserves a raise. Every glass surface is immaculate with RTX on.

Just finished up The Face of the Enemy. It was really cool to run into a file referencing the events of Alan Wake. I heard rumblings about easter eggs in this game, but wasn't sure they'd be so direct. Knowing Alan Wake and Control take place in the same universe is pretty cool. Hoping I run into some more related 'files' before I'm done.
How important are the side quests? I love the story/lore of control but I'm pretty close to quitting it. I'm on the flamingo boss and it's way to frustrating for me. I'm not a fan of using levitate for fights because I never know when it's going to end and I fall to my death. I really think they should have used normal check points and given a option to pull the camera back. At least in this boss fight I can never see the holes in the floor and I keep falling.
I'd say very. Not only because they are a source of insight into the Bureau business, buy they're also a great source of skills points.
Maybe leave that fight for later? There's no missables, everything can be done later. Have you done all the janitor's requests? Lots of easy points and the official janitor outfit are waiting for you there. Once you've upgraded health, energy, launch and shield you could upgrade levitate duration if that's giving you trouble.
Game started kind of slow but combat got a lot more fun once you opened up the move sets. Kind of reminded me of Doom in that respect.
The lore is interesting but the oldest house is just kind of a boring environment so far. Hope the plot picks up too. Kind of feels like I'm just doing random chores for people right now. Had to turn on subtitles for the janitor 😒
Do I need to memorize all these locked doors? Or will the game end up leading me back to them? Doesn't seem like stuff is really marked on the map besides objectives. That or I'm Dumb lol

Oh, there's LOTS more. Once you finish the game, check this article for any you missed.
I think its fair to say CONTROL is leading every game when it comes to physics based destruction.
Not too excessive just for the show, but dramatic enough that aftermath of a battle looks amazing.

Yes! The first game since Crysis/Warhead that puts an emphasis on reactive World Space.
Im a huge sucker for stuff like this even if its mostly for show.
Self-Reflection quest reward. Head to the Synchronicity lab once you have Level 6 access and prepare yourself for the best boss fight this game has to offer imo.
The outfit is actually displayed on one of the display/containment rooms in there, you have to pick it up after finishing the quest.
What Egida said lol
First you need to complete a puzzle and then the boss fight starts.
Keep in mind that you have to check a mannequin after clearing the sidequest to get the costume, it doesn't appear automatically to choose.
That was an amazing read. The conclusion
"What if Control is a story Alan is writing to get himself out of the Dark Place? "
I'm at the point where I now love this game. I've embraced how absurd everything is and I'm just enjoying the ride. There are sooooo many Alan Wake references in the documents you find. It's not just subtle hints, there are very specific things mentioned. I spent last night doing only side objectives, and had a lot of fun with it.
Oh shit, I totally missed picking this up. It's almost like how it's easy to miss the Janitor's outfit.
He's not hard himself at all. It's those goddamn exploding invisible hiss that make the fight such a pain in the ass. You're sitting there focusing on dodging his projectiles and running away from the exploding hiss monsters and then the invisible one comes up on you and just explodes on your ass and you didn't notice the weird smokey indicator that lets you know he's around because there was so much other stuff going on. And those things can follow you up onto the rafters too. What did make it easier was jumping up on the spires or that rock in the middle of the room. They don't seem to come up on those.
Sorry I'm late back.
I'm not entirely sure about Pierce, I know some previous gun upgrades were gated as I went through the game, since my pierce was glitched I finished the game all side missions with a level 1.
I did initially think it was a late game upgrade as it's quite an OP gun, then I found out it was glitched.
Does anyone have the Astral Dive Suit? The PS cover features it but when I reedemed the download code that came with the game the coatume didn't show up...
Now go and use it because it's the best! Imho hahah
Did you actually go in-game to see that the costume didnt show? If you unlock all the things like the exclusive mods etc, the cstoume will show up in the costume select at the Exec Hub.
The pierce upgrade just finally showed up. Just need a few more materials. I think i'm good :)
Tomassi was kinda difficult but yeah, mostly because of the invisible hiss, kinda annoyed everytime I was doing okay and then the damn things took almost half the health bar...
Will check it again just to be sure.
