Quick notes from a friend.

-Switching from first to third person is jarring.

-First person makes it harder to stealth.

-Being forced to talk to every person JRPG style, sucks.

Gaf does he speak the truth or is he full of shit?

Just got out into Detroit and have a question...

Spoiler

Are any of these initial main quests and side quests timed like the hostage one? So far for yellow (main) I have to find the corpse in the police station and also the limb clinic enhancement. For blue quests I have to find Chase, O'Malley quest, Tim Carella quest... are any of these timed or can I take my time and explore everywhere?

?? The NPCs are great. I talk to every single one in the headquarters and on the street, even random bums and hookers and guards. I'm enjoying the dialogue quite a bit. You can actually get some neat info about the world and its current climate by talking to these generic secondary NPCs with no names, also listening in on their conversations. It's good stuff. If you don't have the patience for it or don't find the story interesting, then I could see it being annoying.

They are not timed. I dont remember there being any other timed quests except for one.

Aw man. Game finally unlocked at midnight, but it won't launch. Sometimes it does nothing, sometimes it does "This game is currently unavailable". Delete ze blobs, restart Steam, restart PC, still nothing. I go to verify integrity of the game cache and now I'm pretty sure it's downloading the whole game again.

Meanwhile I'm arguing about Origin in another thread and feeling slightly sheepish.

 

[MMaRsu]

Okay..Ill buy it!

Ill trade in Wipeout Fury and Uncharted 1 and get this for 30 euro's!

 

[Goreomedy]

Shit! Was trying to play through this without killing. But.... early on in detroit...

Spoiler

I'm making my way to a transmission tower, find a wall with a crack in it, and remembered that you can augment your arms to punch through these zones. So... I upgrade, punch through the wall, only to find a guy standing right on the other side. Without any input from me, Adam snaps the guy's fucking neck. Didn't know how long it had been since the save, so I just continued on. I'm gonna fuck people up now. I tried. I really did...

you should still get the game, though

Nothing is radically different from other games that use these mechanics

Does your friend work behind the counter at GameStop, perchance?

One other thing.. can anyone make a basketball shot? What the hell, I've had so many in and outs. Tried for a solid 20 mins

Who will help the widow's son?

 

[MMaRsu]

DONT YOU FUCKING DO IT

But all the games I could sell right now are

UC1
MGS4 ( yea right )
UC2
Wipeout Hd Fury

I dont have to trade in two games, I can buy the game for 60 if I really wanted to.. but if I can trade in UC1 and Wipeout hd Fury, and maybe at another time buy Wipeout again for 10 euro's I'll save a bunch of money I think .

 

[Tanolen]

I tried for awhile, not sure if you can do it without getting lucky and shooting the ball straight up near the hoop.

Stand on a dumpster and dunk it.

I made it a few times after like 20 tries in the leak. It's just a matter of finding how far back you have to go while keeping the same angle.

My friend did, you get an achievement.

If you have the jump aug you can just jump above the rim and drop it in. I hit the jumper aftewards just to feel good.

I don't understand how people are having ammo problems. I have a lot of ammo for my pistol and a good amount for the magnum.

I'm liking this game but the character animation is straight out of 1999. It's seriously distracting when in dialog. Some of the characters are just putrid too. Josie the

hostage in the first main mission

looked half deformed, half blind drunk. Fun game though.

I noticed in one of the newspapers(news pads?) that it mentions an augmented Nigerian singer who looks oddly light skinned with blonde hair. I wonder if they did that on purpose.

 

[Deadbeat]

This is the first game I have EVER played when I can see that actual interior designers and fashion designers worked on levels and NPCs clothing.

Or is that a LIE?

Hugo Boss did uniform design for all WW2 shooters.

How necessary/helpful is it to increase carrying capacity in this game? I usually hate wasting points on "non abilities" but I've barely started and am already having inventory issues...

Ya they look like really shitty animatronics.

 

[malfcn]

Are there multiple endings?

 

[Morn]

edit: wrong thread.

 

[Interficium]

I'm curious about the punch through wall aug. For those who have it, how common are the contextual punchable walls?

Definitely common enough. I held off on getting and wish I hadn't. It's awesome.

 

[Deadbeat]

Multiple cutscenes.

OK PC Gaf, I've pre-ordered on Steam for the Friday Euro release.

Will this be reasonably playable on my Macbook Pro 2.3Ghz i7 with 6750m 1Gb graphics on win7 x64?

Spoiler

talking to greg thorpe earlier and he told me about an arms dealer, but I can't remember where to find him.

Does this game have any kind of dialogue log system or something?

 

[The Bookerman]

first off i have to say , i'm in love with this game. it's a somewhat a throwback to the old games, but isn't what the folks here wanted.

it's easy to explain. they took a bunch of random loops for convesations, used a tool for the facial animations, tooled it a bit and you end up with this. it's all about costs. the middleware helped them cut cost... animators don't come cheap. even in quebec.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Just made a jumpshot (I think) but the net didn't move and I didn't get an achievement so I'm not sure if I did. The dunking thing is genius lol... I'm so dumb, I have the jump augmentation too.

One last (dumb) question... is the alcohol +max life permanent or temp? Because I waited a few minutes for the +5 beer to wear off and it stayed at 105

 

[AlimNassor]

Adam Jensen is a really cool guy imo anyone else love the dude? He's so much better than Shepard.

 

[BigTnaples]

1. Soft is better.

Are soft shadow DX11 only? I get no option to enable them.

Also, I know I have said this like 3 times, but no response.

I have been trying for hours to get Vsync to work but still have not been able to.

4890 1GB.

Anyone else with this issue?

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Good question.. I'm already maxed out thanks to these 5 beers and a whiskey taking up 6 spots. Plus all the ammo. Sigh

Have you tried D3D Overrider? Just turn it on with that. Have the in game setting off

How can you tell which walls are punchable?

 

[Salsa]

man if i ever knew id saw this on a Deus Ex game


Im loving it. Plays great and looks great. Only real complaint i have is that i get MASSIVE mouse lag when i turn v-sync on, wich is fixed of course by turning it off but then i get MASSIVE tearing, lol. Ideas?

 

[Goreomedy]

He's as cool as you want him to be, yeah. It's fun to be sympathetic throughout an entire conversation, and then cruelly end things. Like

Spoiler

gently talking through Megan's murder investigation with her mother, only to shut her down with too-graphic details about the autopsy.

 

[Tanolen]

Ya they look like really shitty animatronics.

I love the c-3P0 that lot of them do.

 

[TacticalFox88]

About not killing anyone...can that be done on any difficulty? No way I'm doing that trophy on Deus Ex.

 

[NBtoaster]

This game is hard. You can't really get away with doing stupid things or mistakes.

 

[Goreomedy]

How can you tell which walls are punchable?

Once you have the aug, they are outlined for you. I noticed my first one because of a crack in the texture. It was subtle.

You'll max out performance

 

[FlyinJ]

So, if I hit a "thin" wall with the arm-smash aug, and there is a guy on the other side, it will kill him? There's no way to just knock him out through a wall?

If true, I'll never be able to use it. Lame.

 

[TacticalFox88]

And if you fuck up you get the ultimate punishment. The loading screen!

It almost makes me wish I got the PC version for that instant load.

Instant load on PC? That's a joke right? Takes like 30 seconds to load.

Did you make sure to turn both v-sync AND triple buffering on ingame? Also try plugging a 360 pad in and starting up the game just in case that helps.

And if you fuck up you get the ultimate punishment. The loading screen!

This is so true. Makes you extra careful! "Oh crap, if they kill me here I'll have to RELOAD"

 

[malfcn]

I am about to go and get this. Is the Explosive mission something cool? Or just go to Best Buy and grab the Tactical weapons?

 

[FairXchange]

Just got it for PS3, playing on hard. It's definitely a good looking game, and it runs very smooth. Trying to play as stealthily as possible, may not even kill a single enemy. I did it in MGS4 so it shouldn't be too difficult in this game.
