I always save right before a conversation so if I mess it up I just reload my save until I get it right. If you don't have a previous save, your out of luck.

It occurred to me after the fact that I did indeed screw up forgetting to save.

So no go then, huh? No other way to get in?

Yeah, I guess MGS4 specifically is what I was talking about. I'm really loving it though.

The guns, and all of the machine stuff is very Yoji Shinkawa to be honest. That postprocessing filter as well. Add in the line of sight cones, octocamoalike, stun/kill element, rewarding for seeking alternate and less obvious paths, and 1st+3rd person nature of the game and it's seriously like playing the western version of MGS4.

With a mouse and keyboard and spending more time in the first person than the second.

I'm glad I put points in the hacking augs. I really like the hacking mini-game for some reason.

I had hacking up to level 5 early on, knowing it's something I'm gonna use extensively for the whole game. It's nice knowing no terminal or computer will be beyond my reach now. I also have control of turrets, but not robots yet.

Dammit, the achievement metagame is killing this for me. I always thought attempting a no-kill run for Deus Ex was cool -- but attaching an achievement is really hurting the game for me. Instead of thinking, "do I kill this guy or not?", I think "is killing him worth losing the achievement?" Totally breaks the illusion.

I hate achievements. Hate them hate them hate them.

Ignore them?

Not sure why people complain about achievements. If you don't care about them, how does them being there distract you?

Yet another moment that made me laugh out loud:
Doing a side mission in Hengsha collecting money for one of the bartenders at the club. Found the girl in her apartment and tell her to pay debt. The dialogue ends with her saying "if you want it you're gonna have to take it from me" then it spits you back into gameplay with her back to you, I immediately tap B for non-lethal takedown, Jensen taps her shoulder, she goes to turn and he knocks her out cold. Any other animation wouldn't have been nearly as hilarious .

So I just quit for the night. Just arrived at the
Montreal TV station
. Anyone care to estimate how far I am through the main story? I'm definitely impressed by the length at this point anyway. My eyes are actually bloodshot for the first time in a while.

Just forget about achievements for now. You could always play this game again.

I don't have the game yet but quick question:

Is there any prior warning before leaving the hub for good?

Meaning will I go immediately to Shanghai in a cutscene immediately after a mission, or can I choose when to leave on my own leisure??

Thanks!

I got to Hengsha, did about 10 minutes of wandering around and had to quit for the night. That place looks extremely complex and maze-like. There's like 4 levels of connecting pathways and rooftops and it was making my head spin. It's pretty daunting to look at.

The mission that finishes with talking to
Megan's mom
is bugged for me. I did all the parts and after saying the 3 lines the game just keeps me in conversation mode. The little area to select texts is still on screen and the camera just pans around a little. There are no more options and I can't move. Has anyone else had this or know a way to finish this mission?

I gotta quit for the night, working relatively early. This game has got me though, I'm fucking digging it. Definitely the most addicted I've been to a game for quite some time.

Are there any "you took too long" penalties? I like checking everything everywhere and people seem to enjoy bitching at me for taking my time. I really hope there aren't any penalties.

The takedowns are great, but that little lag as it "loads" the kill animation and switches to 3rd person is nagging. Also, when you leave cover it seems to leave you facing walls

There might be for the first mission after you return from your "extended leave". I spent all my time exploring and had Sarif tell me things went to complete shit while I was scoping out the women's bathroom.
Said 8 hostages were executed and all the SWAT guys gave me the cold shoulder.
Does the outcome change if you don't waste time at all?

Haha hacking a turret through a computer to have it target its own and then just seeing MAN DOWN (10) constantly coming up on the screen is quite a joy.

I got a silencer for my Pistol and Machine Pistol i'm i good to upgrade it or do you get better shit later on? Or is it like Deus Ex 1 where it's limited in weapon variety?

Besides the Augment blades, do you get any melee weapons like swords to smash boxes?

I got to the 2nd major hub, and decided to say fuck it and start killing people while hacking everything... and not giving a single fuck! Even with alarms trigger since I remember in the prologue I killed one and had one trigger.

Its been so much fun being an ass. Knocking out and gunning down fools.

Yeah, I'm doing the exact same thing for my second playthrough + dropping the difficulty from hard to easy. I'm pretty hyped.

Not really loving the game so far.

I'm completely absorbed in the fiction, the art design... the impressively cohesive world that Eidos Montreal created. Set piece after set piece has wowed me, and "little" places like Jensen's apartment put lesser games to shame.

But... the gameplay itself, things like the cover system, feel clunky and aren't fun to interact with, for the most part.

I'm totally liking it well enough to keep playing. Mostly because I want to unravel the mystery and see the rest of the hubs. But right now I'm hovering around 7/10.

Fuck, because I wanted to look through a faq to see if there was a guide on weapons (My inventory got full for the first time) and I ended up seeing who the last boss was

Something named Hyron and a person named Zhao

Hopefully that doesn't affect my enjoyment of the rest of the game.

Steam is inching this game into my grasp.

I am woeful at hacking minigames. If I put my mind to it, will I be ok ? Or is there a way around it ?

Screw him. Peeking over stalls and watching chicks take dumps is more valuable than saving a few people that are probably not taking dumps in bathroom stalls.

Okay, I must be completely unable to find things without a huge indicator on my map saying GO HERE LOL, but in the very first mission of the game,
where the hell are the Administrative Offices?!

And yeah, turn off Vsync, game loads a million times faster. LOL.
