Gamepad.

Would hacking a robot to kill someone count as lethal? I don't want to screw up my non-lethal save.

It did in HR.

 

[Laurentius]

I retract my earlier statements.

Listening to HR's Icarus theme whilst seeing that there's only five minutes left to launch has put me in hype overload.

Time to clear out my SSD because fuck, I can't wait for this shit.

God that theme is good. Michael McCann <3

 

[Ducarmel]

Caved and bought the Digital Deluxe Edition off cdkeys 2hrs ago, preload just finished.

My body asked for this.

If you did that in real life, would it still be killing someone? There's your answer.

 

[deoee]

Can the DLC shenanigans be added to the OP?

Pretty please?
This is precious information.

Most likely, I'm pretty sure anything that resulted in the enemy dying in HR counted as you killing them, so probably the same in MD.

 

[4jjiyoon]

Maybe check out the Corsair Lapdog. =)

oh that's cool

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Ah fuck, there is an update.

3GB. fuck me.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

Unlock already.... Fuuuuuuu!

Ah fuck, there is an update.

Wut?

 

[Lashley]

It did in HR.

If you did that in real life, would it still be killing someone? There's your answer.

No. I didn't know the robot would go ahead and kill anyone, your honour.

EDIT: 3gig update

 

[Fujinn]

Steam is downloading something

Gamepad

 

[Kade]

Looks like it's unpacking on Steam! Aaaaaaaaa!

edit: nvm, I thought it was unpacking but it was just an update :/

 

[Laurentius]

Most likely, I'm pretty sure anything that resulted in the enemy dying in HR counted as you killing them.

Which really sucked, because sometimes you would shoot someone with a tranq, and they'd fall off a ledge and die. Or you'd be dragging them and the physics would freak out, and they'd hit their head and croak. Really great way to screw up a pacifist run without knowing it.

 

[BigTnaples]

60 seconds. Lets do this.

Really this time! Woot!

Spoiler

You can go all the way down and take people out from there instead. Plus it also makes things easier if you have stun pistol.

I only had a Tranq Rifle. I tried several approaches.

Spoiler

Taking down the lift would let me neutralize like 5 enemies, afterwards Singh would always die.

You are right that I need to get better. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. playthrough will probably have different results.

PC players:

I'll need to get a feel for both.

 

[Fledz]

Steam is doing something 2min early

 

[aravuus]

Comfy Couch + Steam Big Picture Mode + 50" TV + XB1 controller + beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm.
Perfection. ^_^

+ a cold beverage of your choice, of course

Well, for me it's a cup of hot tea I guess, think I'm getting sick or something

Hahaha an update

 

[Lashley]

downloading another 3gb for me

 

[dreamfall]

LET'S GOOOOO!

 

[ekim]

Just downloaded it.

 

[pahamrick]

downloading another 3gb for me

Same here.

 

[FuKuy]

PC players:

Gamepad or M/KB?

M/KB obviously

 

[TheRed]

Download will be done in 2 minutes yess. Steam controller should be glorious for this

 

[justjim89]

Damn it. Restarted Steam at the hour and now there's another 3GB patch installing. Another hour and a half wait, then.

 

[Dictator93]

Who has the PC performance thread this time around? JaseC... where are you?

 

[Not Drake]

I'm pretty sure anything that resulted in the enemy dying in HR counted as you killing them

I've replayed HR Director's Cut during the last few months and some indirect enemy deaths didn't count as "kills". Setting a robot for self destruct causing an enemy to die didn't. Hacking a turret and enabling "friendly fire" most certainly did.

 

[Trago]

HYPE!

 

[BigTnaples]

downloading another 3gb for me

Yep, 12.7MB/s, 3 min left!

 

[ettoralk]

OMG, Why is the Steam version just saying COMING SOON now after the countdown was done??

 

[StrikeFirst117]

Downloading 3 GB now finally.

 

[sirap]

What's the point of preloading if I have to download another 3gbs on launch? For fuck's sake, they really don't want me to play this game tonight.

 

[JaseC]

Who has the PC performance thread this time around? JaseC... where are you?

It'll be up once I've taken screenshots of the graphics settings and noted their values.

 

[Phionoxx]

Yup. Steam is downloading another 2.7 GB or so. Going to take a bit on my slow connection. Then still have to go through decrypting. May be awhile yet.

 

[farscape82]

Dam another 3 Gb patch, o well 1 minute more to go.

 

[deoee]

What's the point of preloading if I have to download another 3gbs on launch? For fuck's sake, they really don't want me to play this game tonight.

Yes I don't get this either.
I mean, personally I have a fast connection, but 3 gb can be huge for other people.

Makes the whole pre-load process useless.

 

[Fujinn]

Download finished, but still can't play. SE owes me three minutes and counting.

EDIT: Decrypting!

 

[Tukker]

What's the point of preloading if I have to download another 3gbs on launch? For fuck's sake, they really don't want me to play this game tonight.

So you don't need to download the other 20-30gbs anymore?

 

[DarkSpikeX]

OMG, Why is the Steam version just saying COMING SOON now after the countdown was done??

Restarting steam fixed that for me

Edit: Nvm steam downloaded the patch but now it's also saying coming soon ....

 

[Trago]

It's done! Let's goooo!

 

[CaLe]

It's not unlocking for me. I restarted Steam. WTF.

 

[Fledz]

Downloaded it. Tried to launch, says game isn't out yet lol. Restarting Steam.

 

[Justice_Bolt]

I'm downloading this right now. My first Deus Ex game, i hope it's good!

 

[Sanctuary]

I never replayed the director's cut, how is it vs vanilla?

Improved textures, but it's not really that different overall. The Missing Link section is implemented into the main game, and the bosses all have more options than just guns blazing to take them out. The "urine filter" that a lot of people complained about (I had zero problems with it) is also gone. In a way, I feel like it hurt the unique look of the game, but overall, with the imporved textures, it's fine. There were also complaints that the Director's Cut had stuttering problems. Maybe it did initially, but I encountered no such issue. The only bugs that I ran across were that the menu tabs stopped working, and the hotbar magically disappeared, but this only happened once.

 

[Ducarmel]

I had to restart Steam to get the ~3gb download going if anybody else is not seeing anything happening.

 

[ebevan91]

Finally ready to play!

 

[StrikeFirst117]

Finished downloading the 3GB patch, now its decrypting.
