Deus Ex: Human Revolution |OT| I never asked for this... It gave me lemon-lime

Ok I got it tonight thanks to Amazon's $35 sale. I finished the first mission and it's pretty awesome so far. The stealth is fluid and I just upgraded to the first cloak so now it's going to get even better. I'm trying to do a no-kill run, but I already messed that up after I was spotted. Luckily I just hid behind a pillar and shotgunned everyone to death as they passed by. Oh well, better them than me. Also the scene with
was pretty intense, I didn't know what he was going to do.
Although, where the hell were the hostages? I heard some guards talking about them being stashed in Assembly Room One but I never found it and I failed that part.
Also, any general tips or advice?
And this needs to be a reality.
Zeke where you have to convince him to free to hostage

My favorite Jensen punch is the shoulder tap, Sucker punch!

After one of the decontamination rooms you'll end up in a large room with a lot of desks and computers. It's a room similar to the one where you hear three guys talking over a dead civilian. The hostage room is directly ahead of you on the second floor above the elevator you have to use.

Just wanted to say, after seven hours of gameplay I'm half way through Detroit Streets. The amount of detail in the small things- conversation between coworkers, epads of the news- it's unbelievable. The dialog was actually interesting to listen to in an open world environment, which is amazing.
It's the best stealth game since MGS3 for me.

Could anyone else running the game on full settings go to this location and take a screenshot? This only seems to happen with a few very specific dynamic shadows but it's driving me up the wall
quoting this. If anyone has a detroit save we'd really appreciate a screenshot of that spot to see if the shadow issue is there :/

Yep. This is what I expected from MGS4. It was a fun game but the open-endedness Kojipro promised was only present in the first act.afternoon delight said:Just wanted to say, after seven hours of gameplay I'm half way through Detroit Streets.

Im starting my hardest difficulty, no kill, no alarm. all datapad playthrough.
I am not looking forward to reloading even more than i did the first time on normal when i just killed people.
Is loading something that can be improved on console? probably not huh?

It can be improved. Don't know if there was a patch or not for console. PC version had a patch which reduced it to 5-10 seconds.Gamer @ Heart said:
You sure you want an answer to that?

Yes. I'm running it on a brand new 580/2600k setup and have all kinds of stuttering issues. Having to turn off all the DX11 graphic options I just spent a ton of money to play with is pretty annoying too. Game is still fun, and it's not all that impressive graphically so turning it down to DX10 isn't a huge deal.
I've tried lots of different settings, and I still get stuttering. With DX11 I couldn't even play it. I might go through and try each one by one in the control panel and in game like the poster above suggested.

Very good! All versions are on par with each other and uses the console to full advantage.Bad_Boy said:

Im nervous about having to balance my hack augments and my stealth ones. I hate missing stuff, but i cant afford to get lvl 5 hacking so early in the game again at the expense of everything else.
I hacked every computer in existence , which definetly hurt the flow of the game, but i couldnt help it!

Just finished up in
There are very few level 5 terminals, and level 4 terminals aren't very prominent early on. If you get to level 3 hacking right away and carry a few A.U.D's for the occasional level 4/5 you'll still be able to get everywhere without neglecting your stealth.
Montreal, the Picus facility I think it's my absolute favourite area in the game so far. The quiet beginning where you just to get look around at all the computers wondering where everyone went is awesome. It was just a great level to stealth through too, so many walls to smash open and alternate paths, so many emails and security terminals. I died about 5 times on the 2nd boss fight. Finally beat her by getting her to step on an EMP mine and then throwing 4 Remote Explosive packs on the floor and backing up quickly to detonate them as she ran at me

Hengsha is incredible. So incredible that it's kind of embarrassing for other games *looks as Mass Effect 2's Citadel*

Oh, that one.
Well, it's a bit clumsy but here's what I did. You can take out the guy in the front and the one patroling the kitchen area fairly easily. Then you can stun one of the guys in front of the TV and take down the other. Then as soon as you open the door to the bedroom (the code is found on a datapad in the same building, just not sure where - maybe the guard in front of the door has it?), the two gang members inside become alerted by the opening door. Just hide, and wait for them to return, and either stun one in the back or from cover by the door. Then either take the second guy out with a takedown or a second stun will do it. With luck none of them will really see you.

Heh. It's not bad. It's more "foreign" and does it's job well. It's a very fun and hostile environment and everything feels unfamiliar, in a good way.Fjordson said:

Is anyone else getting really terrible stuttering in this game? PC gaming is so confusing for me. I can't figure out if something is wrong with my computer, or if the software is at fault. I also notice a lot of stuttering in other games like Mirror's Edge and Bulletstorm, but it's really atrocious here. It gets especially nasty when I leave Sarif Industries and start exploring the streets of Detroit. Maybe my hard drive is damaged, since it seems that the game is streaming textures when the stuttering happens. I don't know. ._.

What? No... They nailed the reason why HK in the first game worked so well, it was a sprawling connection of levels that had a ton of hidden paths, npc's and locations, while looking natural.
Major spoilerrish bugs in the game (I'm serious, don't highlight until you at least 80% into the game):
Well I've decided to just rush this playthough now, as two of the sidequests bugged (cloak and daggers MCB guys stuck in the wall + warrior priest not giving the credit) and I could not save Malik no matter how hard I tried in my hard/non-lethal capacity. What was even more frustrating is that when I find her in the Harvester base (where the waypoints are all screwed up), Jensen says or does nothing.

Stuttering as in framerate drop or stuttering as in lag?ColonelColon said:
Install fraps and see how bad the framerate change is. Reduce the quality to medium or low if necessary and disable some of the fancy tech.
I had to reduce some of the settings to get 30-60fps. With high setting I was getting 15-50fps and the drop in fps from 50 to 15 was fairly noticable and annoying so I stuck with 30-60fps.
Hengsha is a pretty good rendition of a modern, high density Asian city. The vertical nature of the city, the breaking up of districts, the sleeping quarters, the dirtiness, its all pretty convincing. It can also be confusing at times but if you think Hengsha is confusing in this game go to Hong Kong in real life and discover the real meaning of urban confusion.
If you're the kind of person who loves to explore every nook and cranny in this game, leaving Detroit where it's easy to get your bearings and walking out into Hengsha for the first time just seems so immediately overwhelming. There's so many levels and secret paths. It doesn't help that the areas with rows of shops all look similar.

For one, the hub is just too damn big for their loading times. It's not - for lack of a better word - optimized. I don't like going from one area to the next and having to wait for almost a total of twenty minutes in-between. And then going back and forth multiple times?
For two, I felt that the geography of the hub was multi-layered and full of alleys just because.

Hengsha was overwhelming but awesome. Took me about an hour to "get" it, I guess
