Deus Ex: Human Revolution |OT| I never asked for this... It gave me lemon-lime
- Thread starter abunai
- Start date
For new page: Anyone playing as a sniper with aiming aug maybe? Shotgun?
I'm thinking that could be fun in my next play through (stealthy, cloaked, lvl 5 hacker now). Curious how that would play out since I don't really want to use automatic weapons. I want to be lethal but still precise.

Well we're getting to the point where people have beaten it and discussions are starting... I'm outta this thread in case someone messes up a spoiler tag or doesn't think something is a spoiler when it is or even just little hints. It'll take me at least 30 hours to beat this at the methodical pace I'm going to taste every delicious drop of this GOTY fruit... probably closer to 40. Bzzz Ghost Protocol activated Bzzz

Fucking hell. Even changing to compatibility mode and running as an admin didn't stop constant crashing, so I go to verify my game cache for the third time today and the game starts downloading again from scratch. So now I'm downloading the game for at least the third time, hoping that I won't crash every 5 minutes when it finishes in an hour.
And you bastards are finishing the game already. My hatred is white hot and full of pointy pointy needles.

Hrm, but I have V-sync off and the loads are still atrocious...
It also means that if your rig can barely manage 60fps, then you probably won't get better load speeds by turning off vsync. The faster your rig (with vsync off), the faster it will load.
More anecdotal evidence:
That means your framerate is probably around 60fps or below, hence removing vsync does not improve the framerate, and by associate, the load times.

On the first major mission, so first impressions.
-INVENTORY. What the fuck? I flipped my shit when I saw this. I thought inventory was too hardcore for console people. Somehow, I think they'll manage. Love it.
-Character model animation could have used a bit longer in the oven. Seems better for some characters than others.
-Great atmosphere, and I already like the characters. Graphics aren't stunning, but I do like the environments.
-I love dragging bodies into dark corners. I could do it all day. Er...in videogames, that is.

PC users! How are the controls! These controls on consoles are wierd. But oddly, I still love this game.
Just ran some tests.
During the first part of the game.
Loading with VSync ON: 31.8s (60fps)
Loading with VSync OFF: 13.9s (165fps)
The loading is most certainly framerate dependent.
Only good if you have SSAO and DirectX 11 off.
So in summary, to properly play this game, you need to run with SSAO off, DirectX 11 off, and VSync off.

So far I've learned that Stealth is HARD. Every time I've gone in expecting to be stealthy and not engage the guards, I've ended up having to blast my way out. When I take a more agressive proach, I run out of ammo and have to run and hide. It seems like the game forces you to play a hybrid style, which I really like.

nope. you have to put the BD in an actual BD drive installed in your PC, and then explore the disc and go to the MP3 folder.
no way to get the music off of the disc to your PS3 directly.
eidos forums have a thread going and a mod said "it's being looked into". hopefully that means they will figure out a way for us to download it, but i don't see how that could work without *everyone* getting the soundtrack. (not that they don't deserve it, but i paid more for it...)

This game is actually pretty hard imo. If i go guns blazing i die pretty fast, if i stay behind cover I'll die, if I go stealth I'll get seen and die.

I've been playing this whole first play through as Rambo, on normal difficulty, and haven't had any trouble at all. My second play through will be stealth, though.
When going aggro, I find that the same tips I figured out from the original Deus Ex still apply.
Minimize the number of shots you have to take a hostile down in order to conserve ammo (Aim for the head).
Dispatch your enemies as fast as you can (Aim for the head).
Take out enemies that are alone and not alert (Aim for the head from a concealed location)
Forget about taking on swarms of guys. You'll just get overwhelmed and swarmed like in the original Deus Ex if an alert is sent out.

Not understanding the ammo complaints either. Maybe people meant something very specific, like tranquilizer darts? Otherwise it's mystifying, because shotgun and 10mm ammo for example are found everywhere. I can have easily blasted through every section so far if I wanted to.
I certainly don't feel pressured to play stealth as others have said. That just happens to be the naturally smarter, more efficient way to play, but you can shoot everyone in the face if you choose to play that way. Right now I have 75 bullets for my 10mm pistol and 25 shotgun shells. Maybe people are also forgetting to loot bodies? They often carry ammo, and plenty of 10mm ammo, since that's the weapon enemies primarily use in the early going.

Shit I totally forgot about those kills in the prologue. Well screw the achievement then, will continue stealthy but use lethal force when necessary/fun (killing someone through a wall).
I think even if people are getting sub v-sync framerates during gameplay, shouldn't they still get a boost in load times from turning off V-sync especially if they're only GPU limited but not CPU limited? I would think the GPU is essentially just rendering one big textured quad during the load screen while the CPU is the one doing all the preprocessing work at that moment.

Just beat
, took me 9 times though. I have no idea why he had so much health, three oil barrels exploding at him should have been enough.
Barrett
Hopefully the other three are easier

On the mission for the third storyline mission. I went in with nothing other than my Traq gun and Stun Pistol. I picked one a combat rifle and all the bullets I could get from knocked out guards and exploring. I had a full mag + about 2 full ammo stacks of it. I used maybe 12-15 bullets on the boss.
Basically, I'm finding more ammo than I can carry. And once you get use to the stealth system. I'm going through groups of guards in a few minutes. The biggest slow down for me has been hacking.
Yeah I've had to throw away weapons and ammo because I was finding too much of it and it took too much space. Like the combat rifle. Its ammo like all ammo takes up two slots so I just got rid of it entirely. I'm using a tranq rifle and stun gun for non-lethal purposes, and my trusty upgraded 10mm and a shotgun when things get bloody.

lack of ammo? i have 150 pistol rounds, 100 assault rifle rounds and a dozen tranq darts and stun gun charges. im not only a stealth player either. Loot, ppl sell ammo, loot.

I see ~80fps in game but I'm rock solid at 50 during loading screens. I've had v-sync off the whole time.
Not quite sure what's causing mine to stick at 50. I started turning things off one by one but I got bored of the load screen. I'll try again tomorrow.
Still don't see the fuss about the mouse though. No lag here at all. vync off, dx11 on, ssao normal, triple buffering on.
