XIII (Video Game)	comment	You wake up on a deserted beach. You have no memory, no identification, and a pounding headache. Your only clues to who you are and why you're there are a blurry flashback, a safety deposit key, and the number XIII tattooed on your neck.Within about two minutes, your lifeguard rescuer is shot to pieces. You discover an incredible proficiency with weapons and, after wiping out about a dozen Mooks, proceed to go about discovering who you are. Unfortunately, as you appear to be a long-dead Army Ranger with a history of heinous crimes and a wife who is a secret spy and who may have betrayed you, fighting for the side of good is no easy task. Especially not with multiple armies of baddies chasing you every step of the way.This 2003 game, developed and published by Ubisoft, is notable largely for its atmospheric Cel Shading - XIII was originally a Belgian comic book (by writer Jean Van Hamme and artist William Vance), running from 1984 onwards. It keeps the bande dessinÃ©e style — cutscenes are often divided into "panels", footsteps make visible "tap tap tap"s on the screen, people plummeting off cliffs leave a long "AAAAAAAH!" trailing behind them, and devastating combat gets alternate camera angles through inset panels. Also in general a tightly-plotted game, though a bit goofy at times.The game was also reimagined in 2011 as XIII: Lost Identity, a mobile adaptation that (largely) skipped the gunfights and was done as a Point-and-Click Game instead.A remake with modernized graphics and slightly tweaked gameplay (such as modern aim-down-sights, a simplified armor system, and a limit on the amount of guns you can carry), but the same levels and campaign, developed by Maltese studio PlayMagic and published by Microids, was announced, complete with a gameplay trailer, and later released on November 10, 2020, coinciding with the month the original was released in.

XIII (Video Game) / int_14931ba5	type	Cel Shading
XIII (Video Game) / int_14931ba5	comment	Cel Shading: Averted painfully in the 2020 remake; the art style is a more generic 3D shooter visual. This has been rightfully criticized by fans and critics for making it look cheap, "Free Asset Flip Edition" being used among the community of die-hard XIII fans. The 2022 rework adds a comics filter similar to the one seen in the first Borderlands game; it's not true cel-shading in the technical sense, but it does make the game look a bit more like the comics it's based on.

XIII (Video Game) / int_1d364dbd	type	Heavily Armored Mook
XIII (Video Game) / int_1d364dbd	comment	Heavily Armored Mook: The remake has a semi-new enemy type in the form of a SPADS soldier with Captain Price's moustache, wearing body armor and wielding an M60 machine gun while casually striding around instead of running. They're somewhat tougher than the armored SPADS soldiers from the original game and can take a decent amount of damage before dropping, requiring almost a full mag of assault rifle fire to the torso to bring down. As a result, they're noticeably rarer than the armored soldiers from the original game, with only about 5 of them appearing throughout the game, being more of a Boss in Mook's Clothing enemy type. The first one you fight even gets a comic panel intro that wasn't in the original game. They can also be killed quite quickly by shooting them in their unarmored legs.

XIII (Video Game) / int_28104b90	comment	Bag of Spilling: Taken to an extreme. Manual saves save your mission progress, but not your inventory, so reloading from a manual save causes you to lose all your weapons, ammo, and medkits, giving you only a bare minimum loadout equal to what you'd receive if you selected a mission from the mission select menu. The 2022 rework addressed this by simply removing manual saves entirely.

XIII (Video Game) / int_2a195285	comment	Revolvers Are Just Better: In the original version of the remake, the revolver was less distinct than in the original game since the basic pistol now killed enemies with 1 headshot anyway, making it so there was less reason to use the revolver instead. The 2022 rework addressed this by rebalancing the revolver so that it now kills with 1 shot to the upper torso, compared to 3 shots for the basic pistol, though this doesn't work on Harder Than Hard difficulty.

XIII (Video Game) / int_2b706ca	comment	More Dakka: Going Guns Akimbo with submachine guns puts an awesome amount of bullets down-range, enough to shred anything human-sized that isn't a boss in the blink of an eye - if the target is no farther than a few steps away, that is. Otherwise most of the shots will just be hitting scenery. The same is true for the M60 machine gun. The submachine gun (a Micro-Uzi) has an insane rate of fire even when wielded individually, capable of emptying its magazine in less than two seconds of full-auto fire, which is pretty close to how the gun behaves in real life.

XIII (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: The M60 has been given massive recoil in the remake, making it a lot harder to handle than in the original game. Given how much the assault rifle has been buffed in the remake, and how the M60 uses up your special weapon slot that could be filled with a crossbow or sniper rifle instead, there's actually not much reason to use it now. The revolver's "fanning the hammer" secondary fire now automatically fires all 6 of your rounds, which is way overkill against anything less than a Boss or a Heavy.

Enemies won't shoot at you if you're pointed right at them with the hostage, and you can use them as a Human Shield. Releasing the hostage results in an automatic Neck Snap, which is fine if your hostage was a bad guy, but it really sucks if you grabbed an innocent civilian; even more so when said civilian offered themselves up voluntarily to save your hide. Lampshaded in the third level by a bank employee who grumbles that if the robber would take somebody hostage, the guards would have to shut off the alarm. No points for what you have to do with that bank employee to get out. At one point, a nurse tells you to take her hostage to get past the guards, since she found out about Johansson (and was locked in a room to die with a psychotic patient). Unfortunately, her willingness to save your life doesn't make her immune to the neck-snap mechanic. Fortunately, the next level's intro shows her alive and well, proving that the neck snap is non-fatal (and at least partially non-canonical).

XIII (Video Game) / int_4508b16b	comment	The Guards Must Be Crazy: The level layout often has weird effects on enemy AI behavior. If a hostile is patrolling in a separate building, even when it's just a military prefab shack made of thin sheet metal, they generally don't react to anything that happens outside the building. You can dispense buckshot and toss grenades like they're going out of style without the guy in the shack letting this minor detail distract him from his patrol duty. Missions that fail when an alarm is triggered really only fail when an alarm is triggered. You can get into massive shootouts with the guards as much as you want; as long as none of them hits one of these blinky red buttons on the walls, you're golden. The abovementioned bad hearing of all guards also works in this case, with folks only reacting to assault rifle fire in a radius of about ten meters. Taken to extremes with the 2020 remake as mentioned earlier, the enemy AI is incredibly stupid and feels to be a stepback from the AI of 2003.

Dual Wielding 9mm pistols is even less effective because 1) you can't fire both guns simultaneously due to them being bound to the same button and firing sequentially in a Double Tap way, and 2) only the primary gun is able to mount a suppressor, making a second gun worthless in stealth segments.

You start out with only 50% of your maximum health, your vision is seriously blurry, and you can only walk at a snail's pace. Most of these impairments except the low health are gone by the time you need to defend yourself, though, and there's a bunch of first-aid kits in the area to fix your health problem, too.

XIII (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	comment	Guide Dang It!: The game doesn't mark keycard locations with comic notifications like it did in the original, so finding keycards can be a real pain unless you remember where they are from playing the original. The 2022 rework added modern-style objective markers to address this. The game tells you how to climb up ladders, but never tells you how to climb down them, which is pretty important because otherwise you just fall to your doom as you don't automatically grab them (you need to press "jump" while facing the ladder as you're falling to your doom). Knocking out the vending machine guard outside President Galbrain's room causes the mission to fail instantly, but you need to knock him out to progress the game. What you're supposed to do is take him hostage and drag him to the toilets to knock him out, which is completely unintuitive (in the original game he'd walk to the toilets himself after a while, cluing you in that he could be knocked out in there).

Overall the original game's A.I. may have been a bit scripted at times but it at least took actions that made sense. The 2022 rework has overhauled the A.I. in an attempt to make it at least on par with the original game. In its final state the A.I. is at least functional, although most of the bosses now take a good 3-4 seconds to sight out on you with their weapon before firing, making them ridiculously easy.

He later learns that he has been implicated in an assassination attempt, has combat skills consistent with those of a secret agent and once underwent plastic surgery to change his facial appearance. Oh, and his first name is "Jason". The original Belgian comic was hardly discreet about being heavily influenced by The Bourne Identity.

Although since some of the targets let out a groan as they slump to the floor, and since this move doesn't count as a mission-ending kill when used against cops or security guards, they're probably non-lethal.

XIII (Video Game) / int_e4884264	comment	No Sidepaths, No Exploration, No Freedom: The game is separated into distinct levels, and each level forces you to pass through the same checkpoints, though you can usually diverge a bit from one checkpoint to another.

XIII (Video Game) / int_e7b73414	comment	Escorting Carrington out of Emerald Base. It's not as bad as it seems, but Carrington still has low health and no weaponnote he actually has a weapon - a Sniper Rifle - but he never uses it and instead hands it to XIII when the plot demands it.

XIII (Video Game) / int_e993da98	comment	Equal-Opportunity Evil: The Mongoose's goons seem to be reasonably racially diverse, while the SPADS is exclusively made out of macho white dudes. Given the conspiracy's not-so-subtle fascist bent, the latter is hardly surprising.

XIII (Video Game) / int_e9e35e8f	comment	Missions that fail when an alarm is triggered really only fail when an alarm is triggered. You can get into massive shootouts with the guards as much as you want; as long as none of them hits one of these blinky red buttons on the walls, you're golden. The abovementioned bad hearing of all guards also works in this case, with folks only reacting to assault rifle fire in a radius of about ten meters.

XIII (Video Game) / int_f25ab7c5	comment	Shot-for-Shot Remake: Even though the remake was rebuilt from the ground up, it attempts to faithfully recreate the original game's level layout and game flow, unlike some remakes like Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Black Mesa, or the recent Resident Evil remakes which are more of a re-imagining of the original game. However, it makes fairly major changes in other areas, such as adding ironsights, limiting your inventory, changing the health/armor system, adding partial regenerating health, etc. Changes to the foundational systems also result in wonky behavior such as braindead A.I. and bizarre death animations.

XIII (Video Game) / int_f7d66b6f	comment	No-Gear Level: Escaping from Plain Rock Penitentiary, at least for the first half. The rest devolves into a massive shootout with the guards once XIII gets his hand on some guns. The final mission also starts you off completely unarmed since you're undercover in one of the US' most secure military installations. You then collect a bunch of gunsnote that you can't use because you're not allowed to kill the patrolling GIs during the following stealth segments until you can finally let loose on the SPADS once more.
