Royal Mail needs to go in hard like the US Marshals.
It's frustrating to see a game that does so many things right stumble unnecessarily. Playing a stealthy pacifist, I'm not a fan of watching the prudent Jensen in my playthrough being reduced into a bumbling incompetent who stumbles into traps and boss fights when control is taken away from me via scripted and badly-encoded cutscenes.
Speaking of boss fights, there really ought to have been a different consequence if a player chose to go the non-lethal route.

I'm playing on Normal, but the first thing I did was turn off the highlighting and mission objective pointers.
Fuck that noise.
I like the radar. It allows you to plan better and make your way through the rooms quicker. Radar makes it easier to plot out a kill line so that you can just go crazy. My Jensen could be a MGS boss. Just call him The Motherfucker because he tears shit up.Zeliard said:Closest thing is the tilde key to toggle the 0-9 menu, but yeah.
Personally I sort of wish there was a way to toggle the radar off.After all, in the first game you were sneaking by enemies using lean in first-person, with no radar. This time around the detached third-person cover generally gives you a significantly wider view of the environment and the routes enemies take. Ultimately you're watching the radar more than you are watching the enemies themselves, which makes perfect sense in the setting, but is perhaps a bit less interesting gameplay-wise.
Anyone experiencing input lag?
I'm playing on a 2010 Macbook Pro, framerate doesn't seem bad or anything but when I move the mouse there is a perceptible delay in my movement on the screen. I turned up sensitivity which helped a little but it's still there.
I have V-Sync off so that isn't it.
Have to go to work now but looking forward to putting time into this later.

Is it normal that everytime I want to launch the game I get asked if I want to "Play Deus Ex" or "Setup Deus Ex". Kind of annyoing. I get that I am prompted the first time but every time?

Just finished installing. I heard some the settings were a bit useless. Can anyone recap that for me?

I've just played through the intro section. The game runs just fine, except for a freeze after the starting titles. Apparently that patch fixed the long loading times, because I didn't have any problems with them. I can't say much about the sneaking yet. I thought you had to gun down everyone in the prologue, with all the alarm bells ringing and all. Oh well, I actually enjoyed the gunplay in combination with the cover mechanics. Can't wait to really dive into this game tomorrow and the rest of the weekend.
I'm so angry/upset/annoyed. I played through the entire game not killing anyone. Endgame spoilers coming!
. So when I didn't get the pacifist achievement I racked my brain trying to figure out why. Eventually I realized what I did and decided to reload a save. Except the save I reloaded was a few hours play time back. I went all the way back to the end and this time used my stun gun instead of a weapon. Figured I would get the achievement this time. Nope. Don't know who I killed. I'm sad.
Except at the very end when I killed that lady without realizing it.
oh wow, so there's no way to attach a silencer to a sniper rifle besides the pre-order bouns? what a load of crap.
Now i know im gonna play non-lethal even when i screwed up the pacifist run, i mean what's the point of playing stealth if sniping from afar produces the loudest noise ever. Tranq gun it is. Bullshit :/

Loading times fixed on PC. Fucking awesome!

The radar's fine, though I probably won't get any upgrades for it. I just really loved how the first was based so much on your own reading of the physical environment around you. Made it feel that much more immersive.

Yeah the boss fights are one of the major stumbling blocks in this game. Seems like a very strange design decision to force you to fight them when the rest of the game prides itself on letting you progress how you want.

A sniper rifle is pretty loud. A silencer is pretty loud too.
This is so fucking dumb. And its just going to encourage people to pirate games when buying it legit makes you miss out on stuff like this.
When pre-order bonus - particularly retailer-specific - items are shit, like outfits, I don't really care but this directly affects gameplay.

it's not that far. Snipers aren't magically silent.
I don't like preorder items that affect gameplay especially when I would have to preorder 4 places to get them all, or when I miss a mission because I don't choose one place.DennisK4 said:
Anyway, there's a lot of good stuff about the game. I mean, everything might have been perfect if you'd ordered from Wal-mart, but you take what you can get man.
AlimNassor said:
Neither are assault rifles but I've silenced mine in game no problem.
You know it's cool to like a game yet criticize obviously stupid design decisions right? You know that? Or do you actually think that only being able to silence a pre-order a weapon is a good choice?

The second hub
Let me just say, original language, that is really awesome. I also decided to turn off the mission markers. It just seems a great place to explore and with the loading fix, trying different things isn't as big a deal anymore.

Does anyone know why I can't buy it from Steam? There's no option to add it to cart...
edit:
I think they might be overestimating my patience.
double edit:
Scratch that, it's back up.

No wonder I couldn't put a silencer on my sniper. So lame. For shame, Square Enix.
I'm hoping the patch fixes things. I'm having crashes on PC as well. I've had 6 of them in the 6 hours I've played the game. Running with a GTX 470, could be some nvidia issue but two of my friends on steam are using Nvidia cards with no issue. I don't have the most current drivers, however, and will get them later tonight.

Yes, this game is very good. I'm in
right now and having a great time. Zero crashes too. Probably the third best game I've played this year, behind Portal 2 and Bastion.
I've found three or four praxis kits just lying around in somewhat hidden places. I also have like 6 unspent points right now.

Anyone else find cloak aug to be a waste. it burns through your energy bar before you even have time to be stealthy?

Well I asked both of my friends who are logged in and playing it now to gift it to me, but they have no option to add it to cart either. Tried relogging, and nothing.

Yeah, I remember seeing one in the game somewhere. I didn't take it cause I already had the pre-order one, but I'm 90% sure there is a silenced sniper rifle out in the wild somehwere.
