(SPOILERS!) For Those Who Have Finished Receiver

[Enemby]

Upon finishing the game(With the revolver, my favorite gun!) I noticed that Receiver could literally go thousands of places with it's current plotline, if it is ever more developed. It could be that you just hit your head, and went into the 'dreaming'. It could be that everything you hear is really happening, it could be you are really initiated in a cult creating super soldiers, it is literally endless.

I'd just like to add that I stayed on the bridge picture for quite a while too. It's a great design choice, a nice bit of relaxing. You're happy to have got this weird picture, and then you click and there's more interesting stuff.

Makes me wonder if there are any inherent differences to the guns besides ammo count. If there is, I haven't noticed. Seems like the three different guns sort of set a random difficulty for the player: Revolver-hard, 1911-medium, Glock-Easy(ish).

Maybe, although I feel like the revolver has more single shot kills than the 1911 (and I just grabbed my last tape with the revolver... but died before it finished... )

To be honest, I find the S&W Model 10 (Revolver) does less damage than either M1911A1 or the Glock 17/18 conversion. I mean, it does shoot .38 Special if memory serves, so it is in fact weaker than 9mm, which would of course make it weaker than .45 ACP. I find the Glock's 9mm and M1911A1's .45 ACP to be comparable when you're making shots count; they can both easily take enemies down with one well-placed round, though I feel the M1911A1 does so a LITTLE bit more reliably. Anyways, as for my experience with the ending:

I used the M1911A1, and I actually record my stats every time I play (Starting mags, starting ammo, rounds fired, rounds found, rounds in mags, turrets/fliers killed (That's what I call em anyways), tapes found, etc. So here's what I had at the end of my first win:

Apr 5, 2014: M1911A1, 3 mags (7+1, 7, 7, 3 loose), shot 74/99 rounds, 21 turrets, 20 fliers 11/11 TAPES!!! (Start with 26 .45s, nice!)

Yeah, a bit OCD perhaps, a lot of pausing to go and add/subtract ammo as well as enemies in the list, but I find it fun to track my progress and performance. When I found the 11th tape, I got to cover and listened, practically giddy that I FINALLY beat it, because it took me months. Seeing the credits was definitely pretty interesting, I took screen caps of them all, and as said above, the 'Click Anywhere to be Awakened' was very cool, and of course there was a deep sense of accomplishment. I've since beaten it with all 3 firearms, as well as the 6 extra firearms on Josh's mod. Sometimes I actually found 12 tapes!

Oh, also, I find when I beat the game with Josh's mod, the screen just goes white and freezes so I have to close it, but it still fades to white so you know you won. So I suggest beating the game in vanilla first before installing any mods. I DEFINITELY suggest Josh's though, it added dozens more hours of gameplay for me, to be sure!

Ibeat it as well, about 2 weeks ago, with - you guessed it - the glock.

weird how so many people beat it with the glock, eh?

I recently had another play through of Receiver. I was using the Glock with one mag. I had obtained all but one tape!!! I'm on super edge, because I've never made it this far. I'm searching frantically, and then a flying drone comes in behind me. I turn and shoot randomly, taking out its camera. Now its making all sorts of noises. I go into the next room, and I'm up high on a staircase, and its a big open space with about 10 flying drones!!! Its happened to me before, but I could see the last tape on the opposite side of the room. I was like yay. I had excess ammo! Started shooting down the drones one by one. One of them would not die. I opened up my mag, started putting bullets into it, and then the flying drone from the last room came up behind me and made some tazer noise. I freaked out and hit the drop key for some reason...the mag fell to the ground; the bottom of the staircase that is. My only mag that is. There were only like totally 5 drones still down there. I'm without a way of firing my weapon. The last tape....I ran for it. Made it like 2 feet. Fell off the stairs. Dead.

Didn't say a word. Closed my laptop. Opened it backup to write this. Goodnight.
