Anybody else run into the major bug that causes the HUD to disappear? Seems to occur on all versions of the game. Happened to me (PS3 version) when I arrived in Hengsha, and is still gone. Didn't mind it until I had to keep a close watch on my energy levels during a major combat sequence. Also, removes the crosshairs from all the guns...
Debating starting over, not sure yet.

That makes sense, because I tried turning a lot of things off/low and it still did it. So, I put them all back to default/high and just deal with it.SenseiJinx said:

I don't think you're there yet so you probably shouldn't read this. It's close to the end of the game. It's not something you can miss, either, so don't worry too much about it.belvedere said:

Initially you get 3 seconds per cell which is actually still quite useful in a lot of situations but you can upgrade the cloak to give you 5 seconds and then a max of 7 seconds per cell. So with the maximum 5 cells of energy you can get a maximum of 35 seconds of invisibility. The aug also becomes a lot more painless to use when you upgrade your battery recharge rate.Aconn1283 said:
I would say it's the most useful aug in the game outside of the hacking capture augs.
OMG, screw that third boss. Like, for reals.
any tips on how to beat this ass? I might just knock the difficulty down to easy, because after many retries and thrown controllers, I just can't be bothered.
and screw that goddamn chip I had implanted. it makes the fight incredibly obnoxious.

Walk up to him, use typhoon, walk back to the wall and take cover, and throw frag mines/grenades at him until he dies. If you don't have typhoon then use other grenades such as EMP grenades to stun him and shoot him with whatever you have while he's stunned.
Take cover on the wall near him and he will usually keep flipping back and forth over the wall so you can just blindfire and hit him depending on which side he's on and throw grenades at him.
I haven't tried the stun gun on him but I'm guessing that would work as well.
If you need more equipment just check the cabinets under the freaky mannequins.
EDIT: Oh yeah, just remembered you can't use typhoon. Forget about that one, sorry!

Just got past 2nd/3rd boss
. Died a few times after she jumped into the side of the arena and electrocuted me. I think there was a 'safe' part but I didn't need it in the end.
Just ended up typooning the boss; for some reason it just stopped moving after that. At least, anyway, I got it caught in a stun-gun unload weapon cycle.
Didn't even realise until afterwards that there were lockers in the room. Damn.

I found the
extremely effective against him.
After one and a half playthroughs, I'm finally starting to find the fun in the PEPS gun. It's like a multiple takedown you can use at short range. Plus you can send people flying if you angle it right.

Quick questions:
Playing on a beefy PC rig. Full details and all whistles and bells active, yet I like the look and lighting of the highly compressed 720p video cutscenes made with the ingame engine, a lot better. Anyway to let the game look like them?
And am I the only one who regrets that the beautiful CG cutscenes we've seen in the trailers are none to be found in the game?

Yeah, I regret some of the CG scenes had no equivalents in the final game. I particularly miss the shot of
I also highly regret the quality of the FMVs in the game. Use beautifully detailed models for the FMVs, but compress it to Youtube 360p! Ugh.

I found Adam's arm crossing gesture during conversations to be really goofy looking and unnatural, anyone else?

Indeed. Probably my only complaint with the game.
I wish they could release a high quality cutscene pack as an optional download in the Steam tools section.

None of the conversation animations bothered me, probably because I was in "I'm playing an RPG" mode.

Do you think it's possible future mods will address the conversation stiffness and lip-synch? Or will this be considered part of the 'charm' like the original canned animations?

What augs and preperation is needed for the 2nd boss?
I have a shotgun, sniper rifle and revolver that's it for weapons. I don't remember all my augs but I have armor maxed, hacking stuff haxed, and only half-way on some of the others. 6 praxis available right now.
It kind of sucks that the bosses are so action-based because I always use stealth during the rest of the game so I have no use for rocket launchers until these boss battles come. I saw a bunch of rocket stuff before the battle so I was assuming I'd need something like that but I didn't want to switch my sniper rifle for rocket and lose that. (Inventory space isn't maxed out, I didn't want to waste praxis on that either until absolutely necessary lol)

You don't need to have an action-based character to handle bosses, there are tons of easy strategies for beating all of them regardless of what you do and don't have.Angry Fork said:
As for the second boss,
my favorite strategy is sprinting straight at her when she charges, running past her, and turning around to blast her with the stun gun + shotgun combo. Since you don't have the stun gun you could probably just use EMP grenades or something. That is just one strategy of many but it worked very well for me.
Augs that might help:Angry Fork said:
- Typhoon wrecks all bosses.
- Smart Vision picks up cloaked people when they're within a certain range. (but you can see splashes of water on the ground when she runs)

Weapons:
EMP and frag grenades work well and appear to stun her.
If you don't have anything that stuns her, you can try to gun her straight up or look for something that does the stunning in the lockers nearby.

I've found them unnecessarily twitchy and some of them are just off, like Sarif's augmented hand. It looks like it's not attached properly in spots, very subtle. Adams neck also seems to move sideways at the seam between neck and torso. The worst one I can remember is Athene. She doesn't keep eye contact at all and looks in all sorts of directions as though flies are buzzing around her head or something. (And she has a weird hair style, too. Looks like a female comb-over.)The_Darkest_Red said:

After reading complaints about them and playing through the game a second time I definitely started to notice that they were a little weird but like I said, they didn't really bother me. I would say they are probably less offensive than what's seen in most western RPG's. Fallout 3 anyone?Rufus said:
