Is that side mission Detroit 2 or Shanghai 2?

If they are patching so fast (even before EU launch) IMO it means the game sold really well on the PC and warrants this kind of support.
I hope to god this is true! (I bought the PS3 version, still).

I'm serious! None of them frustrated me for some reason. Here's how I defeated them:
First Boss: Berrett - RUN! Make sure you can carry heavy objects. While you run to the corner rooms, you will see barrels on your way. Pick them up and hide in the corner. Wait for him to go on search mode and surprise him by throwing a barrel at him, exploding on impact. A few more barrels with some machine gun blindfire/coverfire will take him out.
Second Boss: Federova - RUN MORE! Make sure you have EMP Mines on you. Keep on running in circle while listening to Eliza as she will tell you when she will attack and from where. Throw some EMPs and equip machine gun or heavy rifle. When she lands on EMP, shoot! When she shows up and you have no EMP, keep on running away until she explodes the typhoon and then turn, shoot and run again. Continue until she falls.
Third Boss: Namir - RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!! Make sure by now your sniper rifle has a laser scope and your aim stabilizer and Cybernetic Arm Prosthetic upgrade are maxed out. Hide in the corners of the map until he appears. Shoot with sniper rifle without scoping, and run again. Rinse, Repeat, He'll die.
Final Boss: Zhao - HIDE!!! Make sure you have Sniper rifle ammo and couple of EMP grenades. Either that or you have loads of Nuke viruses, and that Hacking: Capture and Hacking: Stealth are maxed out. Right when the battle starts, run to the very first station in front of you. Hack using Nuke viruses and you should be able to successfully hack the machine before the bot shoots you. If you fail, restart. Took me a couple of tries before I got the first hack without getting shot at. You WILL get shot at no matter what so ensure hack is complete before that. Get in the machine again, and open the first chamber. Shoot her with sniper rifle and she should die. Run to far right and break the walls down to enter the second chamber. Soldiers should appear. Kill them with sniper rifle and proceed hacking with Nuke as you did before. The last girl, you can kill by throwing EMP grenade which will short circuit the chamber and open it. Shoot her with sniper and she should die. Bots will show up, throw some EMP or Frag grenades (or Plasma rifle if you picked it up before entering the battle zone). Zhao's shields will go down, shoot her some more and she'll die.

Unless of course somethings that I did here WILL BE CHANGED AFTER PATCH, the boss battles were a lot of fun lol. Very MGS-esque!
Heavy said:Praxis points are a rare commodity and there's so many other augs I wanna try. It's not fair! WAaaaaaah!
I found a Praxis point holder thingy (I forget what they call them) in Detroit in one of the apartment buildings, as I recall. The door is sealed with a level 5 lock. I'm curious how many more of those are laying around. As you can imagine, finding a free Praxis point just sitting there is quite beneficial.
Also prior to facing the first boss, instead of sneaking around the facility (which I did do some of), I simply did the classic
hacking a turret through a computer to have it target enemies and then just hung out as the turret did all the work for me.
So basically, upgrade that hacking ability!
I also got the ability to punch through walls late in Detroit, and my very first (and so far only) use of it was highly memorable. It was during the Cloak and Daggers side quest in Detroit, where you're tasked with taking out Double-T and his posse. I punched through a wall there and
it ended up being located right behind Double-T, and Jensen did this this awesome animation where he just totally laid Double-T out after bashing the wall in. It also functions as a stealth attack - which is amusing considering how violent and loud it is - so the rest of his guys are left going "huh? wha?" as you get away.
By the way, this is what a vulnerable wall looks like for those of you with no object highlighting (aka cool people):
As you can see, you can definitely notice them if you simply look at your environment.
Having a lovely time with this game, and I've also been fortunate not to be hampered by some of the tech issues some others have (loading times are horrific though). I'm about done with Detroit and ready to go to Shanghai. My most recent save is literally me standing right outside of the helicopter next to Malik, ready to leave.
My only issue is... is it just me or are there only like three side quests in Detroit? They're all lengthy enough and feature several steps, but I was surprised by how few there were ultimately. I've got
three listed on the verge of leaving Detroit, not counting "Paging Adam Jensen" which wasn't really a quest, and "Voices From The Dark," which is Zeke hooking you up with some info if you didn't kill him. The three actual side quests I got are Lesser Evils, Motherly Ties, and Cloaks and Daggers.

What is really weird is that I cannot see DX:HR in Steam's Top Sellers list (1-20) :'(

Icarus is indeed huge but there are no limitations at what you can do without it. Of course, I recommend alternating between these upgrades and by the time you need Icarus, you will be jumping from the buildings like a cat and have enough Praxis to support it lol.
Icarus is needed a lot during China for it's tight neighborhood and a lot of rooftops so by then you should have it.

It's in Skin augmentations -> Dermal armour -> EMP shielding, I think?

There isn't. That part of the game is easy, look around you.
EDIT: I was wrong, sorry.
I have a question for everyone who has played the original deus ex. Since this is a prequel is it fine if I play this game first then the original? I've had the original in my backlog for quite some time but haven't found the chance to play it, but having seen this game I would much rather dive into this first. Would it ruin the experience for me if I play this first or would it ruin whatever the *twist* is in the original as well as other plot elements?
That latter. Shanghai 2.blahblah...blah said:
I have only fought two, but here's what I did.shagg_187 said:
#1 Shock Stick then pour on upgraded shotgun rounds. Apply cloak when necessary to break aggro.
#2 Stay put along the outside. Mine both approaches. Heavy Rifle after stun.

I'm playing as a non-lethal stealth character. If I get the time for another playthrough I am going in terminator style on hard. Should be even easier.

got a chance to finally play a bit more, first time since launch night.
So I managed to beat the first level with all the tutorials. So far I'm enjoying it, I like the slower pace forced by me taking my time to really look at the situation.
But as far as Augs I'm a blank slate.
I had to be careful because it's easy to get shot up early on I feel, especially without any armour augs.
Oh, and I get a feeling the bobble-head will start to bother me. So few games have general talking-idle animations figured out. Witcher 2 has done that the best for me so far, the animation during talk scenes, while canned and reused the whole game, is interesting and polished (especially with camera cuts during long speeches.)
Psyched to be home, it being friday and all.

They obviously took care of that for new players, so my guess is you have nothing to worry about. Just play DX1 after you finish HR.

Energy level/recharge upgrades...Worth it?

Cloak and Dagger was definitely the mission where I finally gave in to Jensen's badassery, especially this particular section. Took me a few tries to perfect badassery.
Equip Frag and Tranquilizer Dart. Walk across the hallway while blindly throwing the frag and proceeding to smash the wall. Killed the guy behind it, pulled out Tranq, shot Double-T and without giving a fuck made my way out in the hallway with a shotgun, pounding anything that burst out of the door.
So fucking good! :lol
MisterAnderson said:
Recharge upgrade: YES! You need every bit of energy and slow recharge can be a different between getting your ass kicked and knocking off a guy, dragging his body and throwing it off the roof.
Energy level: just get one extra bar. If you have recharge upgrade, it's basically gets close to the speed shield recharges in Halo, which is fairly fast.

Does Ninja achievement refer to Alarm as in alarm sound, or simply "Hostile" state?

Relax it cannot be a top seller in Europe AS IT IS NOT OUT YET ZOMG.
I looked at Steam's US page and it is TOP SELLER and without any discounts to boot!
Extremely impressive. I hope Eidos notices and treats THIAF's PC version with the same respect.
Alright, been playing for a few hours and i love it. I dont want to really read too much of this thread for fear of spoilers, but have one question for those further along in the game. Are more augmentations unlocked as i progress or are the ones i see from the beginning all there is? Not looking for any details if here are. Just curious.

I like this. Stealth is always plan A, since it's much more effective than shooting my way to the objective, but I'm not afraid to leave leave a few corpses in my wake. Usually I'll KO an enemy, then drag him to a hidden area (like a vent) and finish him off with a silenced 10mm shot to the dome.
Maybe next time I'll do a ghost/non-lethal run, but it feels much better to go with whatever is right for the moment, instead of forcing myself to play a specific way.

Umm.. it's the number one best seller on Steam and has been for several weeks. It hit number one shortly after it went up for pre-order and has been bouncing in and out of number one for a while.

gonna punch out so many people and quick load now
Enco said:
Yep, you've got your lethal and non-lethal CQC.
I get a kick out of the fact that you can upgrade your basic 10mm throughout the game just like in the first one. Right now my 10mm is equipped with an armor-piercing system, a laser sight and a silencer, as well as a couple of other upgrades to stuff like clip size.
Snuggler said:
Yep. I'm all about playing in-the-moment, not just what would be the best thing tactically, but also what's the most fun.
Blizzard said:
Yeah you can't melee at all without energy, so your only other option is to take them out some other way or ignore them.

Good catch with the name. I knew as soon as
Sandoval was in Sarif's lobby and told us about his 'friend' who went and shot up a shopping centre that he was in some way connected to Zeke (we were briefed before the first mission that this guy pulled out his augs because they made him do bad stuff) and I even clocked that Ezekiel was his brother based on talking him down from committing suicide, and reading the eBook in his secret bunker, but somehow the simple leap from Zeke to Ezekiel eluded me!
