If you want to see sick kill animations or if you are already spotted. Other than that there is no need to do lethal takedowns.

Dead people can't be woken up.
...that being said, I haven't once had a problem with somebody being woken up, after 23 hours of play. But it's at least EM's "balance" justification for lethal takedowns being noisy.

Finished it and got Pacifist trophy even though I didn't expect it. Will make my life easier since there can be some glitch kills.
I loved it overall although it does have a weaker story and sudden ending.Top sidemissions. Excited for the future of the series.
NG+ is great I have everything from the start.
A question please. If a random thug spots you in a building or area that doesn't have an alarm panel then it doesn't affect the "Foxiest of the Hounds" trophy right?

Sometimes you (Adam Jensen) are interested in "Murdering Some Fools". This allows you to do that when they are close to you.
That said often it is a better idea to "Murder Some Fools" from far away because guns are better at said murderin'.
Happy Augment-fueled Murder Spree!
Man the way the game makes you go
towards the end of the game is really annoying and boring.
Overall it's pretty disappointing that with 5 years between this and HR we only get one real hub. It makes the game feel oddly small in terms scope compared to the other games in the series.

Beat it this morning and I loved it. Wish this team worked on Thief, we might of gotten a better game. Any one else kinda disappointed about the side characters in TF29 did jack shit in the large scheme of things? No one there really interacts with you outside of Delara and that was a handful of times
. You had Aria who was obviously into Adam but the never went anywhere or was even acknowledged. Also did anyone else get a glitch with the shopkeeps where after you return from Golem City, they act like it is the first time you have met them every time you talk to them and get all pissy and act like you bought nothing even though you did?
also made the mole reveal kinda meh and obvious

Some choices you can make in the game lead to unavoidable alarms, which null the trophy/achievement. Maybe that's why it didn't pop for you guys?

Disappointed in the Icarus Dash. Heard so many people comparing it to the Dishonored blink, but it's nowhere near as effective, versatile, or fun.
Heres something for you great folks: my Lets Play video of the first hour, the first mission in Deus Ex Mankind Divided
Or rather, my new Play & Talk series. I will chew the fat about the game and everything gaming related that pops to my mind. A reviews on the way.
Took some serious time with experimenting on the different encoding methods. Found something under the MainConcept in Sony's Movie Studio that I think gave pretty interesting results in the video. An hour's worth of video raw translated into a little under 10 Gb. From there, I drove it through Handbrake and got something like 3.5 Gb. A fairly huge chunk of a file still, but nothing - nothing - compared to the uncompressed process I had going earlier. Which I still feel inclined to return to.
Additionally and surprisingly, I'm not able to encode stuff above 1080. I'll prolly invest on proper software as I get my rig pimped. Gonna go with Movie Studio 12 Platinum for now. Anyways, feedback always appreciated. Got a similar one of the Battlefield 1 Beta cooking already.
PS. I know it wasn't Jesus.

It's not Blink, but I wouldn't say it comes nowhere near it... It does the same thing. You can bl-- uhm, dash, right behind an enemy and then use a takedown. You can reach ledges, go up, traverse horizontal spaces with openings in between, etc. etc.
I like it.

Shit, had no idea you could get vertical with it. I should probably read the descriptions in their entirety, lol. Is it better than having the increased jump aug though?

This game is dumb. I'm super paranoid now to know if I'm going to get the Pacifist trophy or not.
Can't flip any breakers because I don't know if it might kill anyone.

What is the point of the "checking ID" cutscenes? They're so annoying.

I wasn't having any success with that a minute ago but I'm not in a very good area to test it.

As has been said before, they're happening because you're using the "natural only" train and/or line.

As long as an alarm panel doesn't go off, you're fine. The only exception is the final boss battle. If he sees you, then that counts as an alarm. I don't know why, but it does.

How long is the Desperate Measures bonus mission? I'm going to play it tomorrow but I'd like to know how much time to put aside for it if anyone could tell me.

Ahh, finally night time. I like that they tried to give more variety to the environments by having it set in day for part of the game, but Deus Ex just feels right at night.
when you want to take down an uppity guard two notches instead of one
Finished @ 33 hours. Missed one side quest which I will do on my second run through.
Really glad I got the pacifist trophy, was so worried when I saw a guy dead near electricity after I had turned on a breaker.
Overall I really enjoyed the game. The story is kind of weak, but I thoroughly enjoyed the missions and overall level design.
While I liked the hub, it grew really tiresome
Also, I played on 'Give Me Deus Ex' difficulty and found the game extremely easy doing a pacifist run. I suspect it'll be tougher doing a lethal run.
Missions and gameplay were better than HR, story was weaker. Overall about the same. Will definitely be up there as one of my favourite games of the year.

Wow this game's up for my GOTY from what I played so far, (15 hours), I really enjoy the Hub and found some pretty cool places and side missions exploring. I stumbled upon
and
. The side missions are great and the story mission level design is awesome, so many different ways to sneak in. Also the story has been alright so far seems to be on par with Human Revolution although I haven't finished it yet so will see.
the cultist leader in the sewer side quest
just got a message about an aug murdered outside Jensen's house
The multi tool is up there for best cheating skill of all time...
I get the time traveler trophy but the guy tells me I have to wait for him to install it. WTF? Let me be great immediately. What was the point in sneaking in there to get the thing from the people in the first place? Now granted it took me all of 10 minutes to do said sneaking but still WTF at waiting.
Where is the multiple takedown skill on the tree?

Apparently you can even dash into enemies and knock them out! I didn't even know I could until I beat the game, looked up some achievements, and then found that out.
As for the increased jumping augmentation, I did have it (invaluable in DXHR, and in MD as well to save some energy), but I'm not sure if you can combine it with Icarus Dash like you could in Dishonored. I tried experimenting by using the super jump to reach ledges that I usually would reach with 2x Icarus Dash, but it didn't work.
You'll need the Quicksilver Reflex Boost (the icon with two hands together).

It's main issue is you have to aim specifically for that "arm" toggle icon to appear to visually let you know you will make the dash and secondly the range of the dash itself it too short.
Actually a lot of the augs in this game don't really do anything super useful. Just "flavorful" augments. The only one that is absolutely necessary IMO is the smart vision augment that lets you see through objects/containers. This is one is super useful due to the detail in the environements makes it heard to loot stuff. Plus I'm a hoarder and I gotta collect all the stuff I see. There are augments that everyone should have like punch through walls one.
Also, get the camo augement that lets you do melee interactions while invisible. Roleplay as the predator!

The game does feel pretty bloated on items and abilities. Icarus Dash is the only one that stood out as its own ability rather than a flashy aug performing the same function as your weapons, and it's not as intuitive as it could have been.

Don't know how some people get through this so fast, I have like 37 hours or something on record now and I just really got back from Golem City. I spent a while exploring all of Prague before that and I take my sweet time combing over maps so things do take me longer, but still. It's odd just how different playstyles seem to vastly impact the length of this game.
Man, I'm loving it so far. Golem City was amazing and I doubt anything else in the game will top that, the entire sequence was great. Loved the atmosphere and just how loud and cluttered it was in the first part, then you get to the throat and it all quiets down as a prelude to the massive, complex ARC compound. Possibly my favorite area of the entire Deus Ex series.

i'm curious how the statistics break out in terms of story campaign quests vs exploring/sidequests.
There's really just 1 sub hub and 2 'standalone' areas, while most of the prague stuff is just talking to folks.
Maybe it just feels insubstantial?
Is there ingame stats anywhere, total kills, steps walked etc?

I'm taking forever in this game. I knew I would because I can't fucking stop searching every inch of every room I visit. It's tiring sometimes.

First run done, 35 hours.
Think I'm going to do a Terminator run now. CASIE+Combat augs - No stealth. Anyone who can't be smoothtalked or convinced to get out of my way DIES. Along with picking RP choices that would match the T-900i

I've already ruined my pacifist playthrough, so turning turrets on guards is a-ok with me, and super enjoyable for (M13 spoilers)
