I think the speech challenges were my favorite part of the game. I wish there had been more speech related augments and more challenges of that type. Those were really fun.

I wish there had been no speech related augments, winning an argument without knowing how to influence certain characters is alot more interesting and instead of talking in a certain way to win you'd say what you really think.

Ignore it. It's supposed to happen.

What is with the random electricity? I swear twice I will be walking and get injured.

I hoped it was because Jensen was about to turn into Jensen 2.0 and gain zero shiftt, but sadly no.

[Rising_Hei]

Boss battles were really easy for me, just need to build an strategy and save up grenades.
I don't find it them hard or an annoyance, but its mechanics should have been better.

I think it was posted awhile back but I'm not sure. I'll probably be picking it up unless it turns out awful.

yes, in the dedicated thread.

real quick question

i have 125 max life - up from 100 after i beat the first boss

i saw my roommate playing and he has 130 - but he hasn't beat the first boss yet

how exactly do you raise your life bar?

 

[Gvaz]

Why is there a dedicated thread for dlc we know nothing about when the only people who'd give a damn are the people who'd post itt?

There are items that can raise your health temporarily to a max of 200. Painkillers raise it 25 and hypostims raise it 50 I believe.

Stuff like alcohol and painkillers will bump it up over 100. You'll only regen up to 100 though as that's the fixed base hp.

This is true, but I have also noticed it going up to 125 from time to time, and I'm positive I never used any painkillers or hypostims. Bug?

afaik it is meant to happen (then again, I am playing for foxy trophy and am going to kill anyone. Also on hardest difficulty).

With regards to undersupplied, that's because you were perhaps not scavenging enough. Not to mention it also depends on your style of play. I didn't have any problems with stealthy approach.

 

[subversus]

iirc it is meant to happen.

No, you can save

Anyone else ordered from Game.co.uk and still did not receive the game? Its getting rather annoying, but its probably the rubbish british postal service to the Netherlands.

Generally when you spoiler something you can say the name

Spoiler

since I assume you mean Malik, yes you can keep her alive. I did it without killing anyone. Basically take out the two heavies first - I did it by takedowns and a little bit of cloak. Then make sure you EMP the mech as soon as it pops. If you don't have an EMP I believe there is one somewhere in the playing field. Once the heavies and mech are down then you have some breathing room. From there I just tranq'd everyone. If you hardly killed anyone you have a couple minutes to get it done. Taking out the big damage dealers you have more time.

Unsupplied might make it difficult...

Spoiler

I don't know what you have but a good general strategy is to focus on the two heavies straight ahead of you first and then immediately toss an EMP grenade at the bot. After that you can focus on the troops above and below the left and right structures.

I pulled this off in my pacifist run by staying cloaked and using takedowns on everyone, but I guess that would be fairly difficult if you don't have any energy recovering items.

If nothing else just take out your favorite weapon (preferably the 10mm but anything with decent range will do) and start shooting the barrels and going for headshots.

Yeah, read my spoilers.

Wow! Thank you!

I felt horrible when it happened. Perhaps on my second playthrough I will deal with it.

Btw, please don't misinterpret as me being cold but I am curious as to whether there is a trophy/achievement if you were to successfully pull it off?

"Good Soul."

Also, I know how you feel, I failed to pull it off on my first playthrough as well.

Beat it last night. Liked it a lot, but didn't think the last area had the same gameplay depth of earlier areas. Plot/alternate events questions:

I saved Malik, so she came and picked up the scientists, bombing the goons on the landing pad. What happens at that point if you hadn't saved Malik?

Ive got a completely upgraded pistol. I havent got very far into the game. Does the game eventually get to the point where i might need the combat rifle, shotty, or machine pistol...or will i be safe just hanging onto my pistol, dart gun, and stun gun?

You're definitely fine with what you have, especially if you plan on playing stealthily. I would suggest collecting some grenades though, they can really come in handy.

But at that point the other executives were already there— you hopped aboard an orbital shuttle to get there when you did, minutes after seeing Zhao in Singapore. I guess she could have taken her own, but I didn't see any TYM craft on the landing deck of Panchea. It just seemed like an easily patched plot-hole.

Alcohol?

I only drank Red Bull Cola and Mountain Dew while playing, so it definitely wasn't that. I did suffer from a severe lack of sleep, but it definitely, definitely happened and I still can't figure out why!

 

[weekendCONFIRMED]

Played first two hours or so. Definitely good stuff. The stealth isn't annoying like I fear in most "stealth action" games, and the RPG moments far outweigh the stealth imo. I'm playing it as non-lethal/stealth, until bitches decide to aggro me and then they're good as dead.

I love the praxis/augment system. A good skill tree is all I really need to keep me hooked in an rpg -- and side quests, tons of side quests.

It hitches some on me when I come to a new area, probably just my old(ish) CPU is my only bottleneck. It's not enough to make me rage though and not play.

I think he was asking if you drank alchohol in the game...it can raise your health, I believe.

I'm running a Core i5 2500k and it still hitches on me from time to time. There's some known performance issues. Hopefully they're working on resolving it.
