Cause the original went cray cray


But the game never gives anything to let you predict that because it keeps asking me to protect Singh...it's ad game design.

It's like in the original Deus ex, you were given an objective, NPC's might suggest paths you could take but ultimately it was down to you to how to complete the objective, it may not even be the suggested path at all.

Players should just try something instead of being told what to do.

Hey guys, I don't normally do this, but I'm pretty proud of this one, so what the heck! I voiced and mo-capped Singh. Hope you guys figure out a reliable way to save him. Haven't had the chance to play it yet, but hell if I'm gonna let myself die

#SaveSingh

Nice.

I saved your ass by putting you to sleep. Gonna reload and see if I can knock you out instead lol.

 

[malfcn]

Keep reloading the first big battle because I can't see shit and something fails.

I have to keep hearing this dude sound like he's about to die.

Game is slick though.

Wow, the actor is above!

It took me seven tries because I kept trying to knock out everyone nonlethally, but I did it dude.

I did it man. Went past the left, took out an enemy, punched Singh in the face and then disabled the heli.

 

[nOoblet16]

Game still crashing in Praha, even after doing all the stupid "Settings to low, Subtitles off" stuff. Fucking hell.



What do you expect? A big "HEY, MAYBE TRY TRANQING THIS DUDE" message popping up? Try things out, see if they work. That's why the game has a save feature. This isn't Dark Souls.

Your sarcasm detector is broken.

I got you fam. Just rushed that chopper and ripped out the engine

 

[Rebel Leader]

Tried alot of things and it seems killing them is the only way

 

[SirRyanOfSmeg]

CTD during a cutscene. RIP my immersion.

 

[nOoblet16]

Tried alot of thongs and it seems killing them is the only way

Tell me more about these thongs.

Don't quicksave in cover. Or be quick with your fingers or it'll jump you out.

 

[De_Legend]

Same.

 

[Nephix]

Uhh, so my augmentation wheel is suddenly empty and pressing F1, F2 etc. doesn't activate any augs even though I have them; is there any way to reassign the augs?

 

[Vuze]

Fuck off this game. Haven't gotten very far but they just replicated, in my opinion, the worst section in HR where you save Malik while her helicopter is swarmed. Fucking hate that mission and this one is even worse since it's in the middle of a fucking sandstorm so you can't see shit. Failed it three times now and it's stressing me the fuck out.

I'm going to bed and will pick it up again tomorrow evening after work. Fucking awful start to the shoe-in GOTY for me.

Yeah that mission was just stupid. Can't see shit, low on every item and energy, enjoy. I eventually just ran to the primary target in cloak mode and finished it lol

Don't quicksave in cover. Or be quick with your fingers or it'll jump you out.

How does quicksaving work? I kinda missed it if they told you in-game but I don't think so.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Sandstorm to me seemed like they took a few things from MGS V, plus the tagging. That may have been in HR I don't remember

[jmizzal]

Is the Day one edition mission automatically added to the story once you redeem the code?

Just want to make sure I know how to access it

 

[Lashley]

Use your smart vision in the storm, and go the left side. Only two enemies, knock them out (Use your battery refill if you have any) and deactivate Heli

easy

Re: Singh

When everyone's talking about saving him, is that at the end of the Dubai mission? i have no idea if he lived or died in my game, and now I'm in Praha

Don't you just press B?

Ignore, glossed over the wheel is empty part

Don't even need to knock them out or use cloak...just go as far left as possible and just make it to chopper. I think the reaction to first level is a very hilarious example at clesrly differentiating between players who know about immpersive sims and players who don't.

I loved the first mission because of it throws players off like that as if it wants to say "This is what this game is about...adapt and start thinking outside of the box otherwise you'll not survive"

The team member who clearly doesn't like Jensen makes it very clear if he dies. But yeah if he lives it is a bit ambiguous.

Surrounded your ass with smoke grenades and KO'd everyone else

Brofist I've only watched a Let's Play so far and that's what the player did. Cool to hear about the different possibilities/outcomes. Really looking forward to playing it soon.

Y'all better treat me well, GAF! Been here since 2004.
Save Singh, save the world.

I got a trophy so I think I saved him

Actually it's even worse, somehow I lost all the augs I could activate even though they were there just a few minutes ago.

Oh well, time to reload; sure have to do that A LOT with this game so far with all the issues..

 

[Anung]

The mission tracking is a bit off in this or it at least not well telegraphed.

Cool!

You're a dead man >

 

[malfcn]

The annoying part is some guys are red and on map and some aren't. I have what appears to be everyone down, and then he dies.

 

[Stiler]

Is there an option to have the game not highlight EVERY pickable object in the world but only objects that are actually like useful? Like containers/switches and things rather then boxes/generic items?

That's one of my biggest annoyances so far playing. I keep seeing something highlighted, go to see if it's a container only to realize it's another plain box or something that's worthless.

 

[Vic_Viper]

Question about the new Augs:

Spoiler

Which Aug did you guys disable for the experimental aug to be used and can you activate it later if you want to use it? I did the marking aug and im not sure if ill need it later but it seems like I cant switch it back on atm.

Yes..all HUD elements are toggleable.
The aug and health indicators can even be selected to fade in and out.

lol the game crashed like 8 times on this streamer. I think he had enough

I didn't see anyone cover this, so I thought I'd ask here; what are the UI options like for consoles? I read that the PC version lets you choose between having some of the elements on or off, or having them fade out contextually - I was wondering if the PS4 / XBO got the same treatment.

I like my games with the least amount of HUD at any given time (while still having things be playable).

They are the same.

Thanks, This helps. I'll probably buy a digital copy with my US PlayStation account.

 

[rtcn63]

I dislike how the screen transitions when you do stealth knockouts. It reminds me of opening doors in Revelations 2 but worse.

From what I read, those options are in the console versions too.

This has been a complaint of mine for both this game and HR. I'd rather no cutscene and a more tame animation than what we have and the transition back and forth.

If you're talking about the tutorial where you have to activate it and disable an Aug you should of been reset right afterwords.

 

[leng jai]

Man object outlining looks awful but turning it off means you're bound to miss things. There should be a setting that just disables outlining throwable objects.

 

[Diancecht]

Oh my god this voice acting is Dead Island level bad.

The time it takes to load my save is crazy

One of the retina upgrade let's you use the vision aug to maek things in environments that are interactive..except for the ownable objects.

It was very easy. I just ran to the main objective and disabled the engine. How can anybody fail this? lol

 

[Chubzdoomer]

I posted this over in the PC performance thread, but I also thought I'd post it here since this thread is more about gameplay:

Does anyone else hate how the augmentations are mapped to F1-F4, which are laid out horizontally on the keyboard, yet on the HUD they're represented in the shape of a cross/D-pad?

Why do developers keep doing this shit on PC? Would it really have been hard for them to lay the icons out horizontally when using M&KB, that way you can actually tell at a glance which augmentation corresponds to which F-key?

I feel like I can already write a book on everything wrong with the PC version. Another thing I hate is how you're supposed to constantly hold E while dragging bodies, which in turn makes it ridiculously difficult to simultaneously steer yourself with WASD without tying your fingers into a knot. Seriously, did they even test this shit with M&KB?
