Is the ':|' face okay? I bet that's a subtle spoiler too, right?

How bout you spoiler tag that shit? Hints like this are basically subtle spoilers because you'll start making predictions while you're playing trying to guess what it could be. Lame

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the guy you killed was in fact a disgruntled customer coming after the apartment owner?

oh awesome then! i wasted him so good....

anyone notice how they are just called Credits now? instead of Credit Chits?

How about I could not be more vague in that description?

 

[Darklord]

Does the soundtrack have spoilers in the titles? I don't want to get it then see a track called "Adam dies" or something.

 

[CF_Fighter]

Wake up, first thing I think about is Human Revolution.

To the EU players starting today... get the jumping aug fairly early as it's fun and let's you find alternate paths and stashed items and "explorer" XP points and it's just fun. I just got the lift heavy objects aug and I think that's pretty good too.

Agreed, it's a fantastic first aug, I did that followed by switching between hacking and dermal skin augs. I'm not going strictly stealth, but more of a quick strike character. Maxing out my pistol on upgrades as well.

 

[Drakken]

Ugh. I'm on the second major Detroit mission (

Spoiler

FEMA factory?

), and I'm out of inventory space already, even with all the augs. I really want to grab the

Spoiler

rocket launcher

of course, but it takes up so much space. Anyone have recommendations as to what to get rid of (basically what I'll miss the least)? I have a couple gun mods I can use, but I wanted to save those until I had a better idea of which guns it would be best to use them on. I'd basically have to use both of those, use all the meds/stimpacks I have, and drop my grenades.

If you have the PEPS gun or whatever, get rid of that piece of shit. Most useless thing I've ever found. Pistol and shotgun are the only guns that I think are necessary, but I went lethal.

im getting my ass kicked by level 2 terminals all of the sudden. i feel like i wasted my praxis on stealth camo skin and should have put those first initial points to hacking. i REALLY want to be a silent assassin, but i don't have access to the right weapons yet, and there are too many terminals and locked things that i just *have* to get into. i hate how short the stealth camo lasts too. when you initially unlock it it's basically useless. in what situation will i need to be invisible for 1.5 seconds? :\

 

[Dunlop]

Not exclusive to Deus Ex, can someone explain why there is like 5 "tips" on the loading screen for the entire game?

Get to read them a lot with the long loading times on the PS3.

Couldn't just had an intern to write then copy/paste like 500?

I wouldn't bother. Definitely not worth it.

I think you missed the point. Simply knowing that

Spoiler

you find a body in the Harvester base

is a spoiler. Not only that,

Spoiler

you mentioning it implies that it's the body of a somewhat important character, which then causes people like me and Heavy who haven't played the game that far to start making predictions about who it could be in our heads when we really don't want to know.

Having just done that mission, unless the only guns you have are the ones the guards use, you WILL run out of space unless you aug your carrying capacity. My biggest suggestion? Grab every EMP grenade you find. Keep to your normal playstyle, but those EMP grenades are gold. Never leave one behind.

On a side note to the thread: Am I the only one who is enjoying the hacking minigame? I actually hack doors and computers I have codes for, just to get a little extra XP and fun.

 

[webrunner]

So I was looking around and I found a fire escape door. I went in, looked around, and the only exit was onto a roof.

What kind of building designer does that?

And at the same time, it lets people know they should explore a certain area. And who says they're important? Maybe it's a dog. Maybe it's a character you don't expect. You'll find lots of bodies in every base because you'll be KILLING people.

 

[Interfectum]

can someone post the animated gif of adam punching out the dancer? i cant find it. :\

 

[Darklord]

No, you're good.

Sweet. Thanks.

Marking spoilers with (mid-game, late-game, finished game) etc is considered nice as well...

 

[FGMPR]

And at the same time....

You're reaching. Nobody needs to be told to explore an area. If that's how they play the game, that's how they will play it. That little piece of nothing advice isn't worth the trail of breadcrumbs you left that will likely lead to a potential spoiler.

I haven't gotten to the part you're talking about, but it seems pretty clear to me now that

I'm going to find an important character's corpse there.

Thanks.

He really hasn't ruined anything. Trust me.

As for my game, I'm in the very final stretch now, and there's no way in hell I'd be able to be a pacifist at this stage - I'm actually angered by the 'bad guys' and enjoy brutally murdering everyone who comes into contact with me. That's powerful storytelling, right there!

 

[Dunlop]

That Mother Ties quest bug where you cannot complete was very aggrevating as

I went into a police station on full alert just to finish that sidequest so lost a good 30 mins for nothing

Actually I spoilered it mere seconds after the post, so you have no one to blame but yourself.

 

[toastyToast]

I think I'm up to the point where I can leave Detroit and its been around 10 hours.

Having a blast, sticking with just hacking + stealth. Going gung-ho seems like it'd be really messy with a lot of firefights and alarms going off, also the game tends to reward you for not drawing attention to yourself. Luckily I had a shotgun and a couple of frag grenades for the first boss fight which made it pretty easy.

Just before I head to

Spoiler

China

are there any more sidequests in Detroit? I've done Motherly Ties, A Lesser Evil and Cloak & Daggers already.

 

[blahblah...blah]

Shit, I really shouldn't have

Yeah, I was so pissed off because I really wanted to complete it and spent so much time on it. I wanted to make Megan's Mom happy

 

[Sanic]

I generally never do sidequests in games but something is compelling me to give the ones in this game a shot.

So, are they actually fun and meaningful?

yes, they are meaningful and they affect how you do the main quest. There are definately some benefits to doing them.

The side quests are insanely good and really should be required. They're lengthy, multi-tiered, interesting, well done, not boring, and affect the main storyline. Calling them side quests actually isn't fair. I hope people don't miss out on them.

Same here, can't beat the final boss because of this...anyone got some tips for me? stuck there for days...

 

[Corky]

How do I check my stats? ( how many people I've killed etc )

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I hope I didn't accidentally blow my non-lethal achievement with this:

I tranq'd a dude in the sewers and his ragdoll went straight into the water. It didn't give me any kind of death message (I got the standard Merciful Soul/Man Down/Marksman update), so I'm hoping it won't count. :\

Don't think it does, I did the same

 

[Derrick01]

This game is running into the same problem so many modern rpgs have. By the time I was 3/4 done with the 2nd Hub section I was pretty overpowered. I have most of the augs I wanted and I have a pistol with about 9-10 mods including multiple ammo increase ones. It destroys people when I choose to use it. They reward exploration but almost too much, rpgs begin to lose my interest when I'm no longer gaining much for leveling and I become unstoppable.

Also I think this game having a really good map system is hurting the exploration. I haven't found much that I would consider really tough to find and I almost never feel like there's more ways to go then what I found, whereas I'm still not completely sure when I play DX1 even today.

Still enjoying it though don't get me wrong.

 

[Castor Krieg]

Stealth is glorious, I find it so easy to just sneak around and hack cameras and open doors. Most of the time you really cannot put all of them down, as that would take too much time.

I accidentally did that as well so I reloaded just to be safe.

Can't you look at his body and see if there are z's or a skull and crossbones?

Turn off the object highlighting + objective markers + raise difficulty level. Any 2 of those. I find the game quite challenging and have died many, many times... a single shotgun blast takes you out. A split second of machine gun fire takes you out, a few pistol shots as well.

 

[AkIRA_22]

This is such a great game. It is everything Invisible War should have been. I feel like I'm 18 again playing Deus Ex whilst at Navy Tech Training. PC games then are what games are now, this is why I love the PC.

 

[stuminus3]

Help me I can't stop punching random NPCs in the face.

I've done all of that from the start. It's not combat that's hard as I play stealthy anyway, I'm just too overpowered because of all the experience and gear I got from exploring really well.

 

[Dennis]

Turn off the object highlighting + objective markers + raise difficulty level. All 3 of those.

Sounds like the way to go

for Real Man Gamers

I am getting my new PC parts on monday so I guess it makes no sense starting the game now.

Looooooooong ass weekend ahead.....

Can't be much worse than the original Deus Ex in this regard, haha.

me neither dude... lol

 

[Superimposer]

Is this supposed to happen? I'm right at the start doing the conversation in the hostage situation (not a spoiler). The game freezes during the dialogue and then plays catch up if you know what I mean. Really irritating me.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

What a shame.

 

[Sanic]

Looks like I'm doing the sidequests. Thanks guys!

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

So, are they actually fun and meaningful?

I'm only up to the second hub and I've completed every side quest so far. I can't imagine how much shorter my play-through would be if I was just skipping them all. You get a ton of cool weapons, money, and XP for doing them, and it fleshes out the universe quite a bit.
