You did get your season pass content. You should have 5 praxis packs to redeem in-game and some currency/guns.

You have what I and everyone else has.

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious here.

No maybe im missunderstanding too... for some reason I thought I got some Day one Digital stuff that im not seeing. Like the soundtrack/ short story

 

[Rising_Hei]

Have to say, pretty underwhelming so far. Loved HR, but everything about this game feels dated. Also feels too claustrophobic and clunky.

HR was even more dated when it came out compared to this one

 

[FlyinJ]

When does the pre order mission appear in the game? It's taking 3 hours to download, is it possible I'll miss it if I just finished the tutorial?

 

[CertifiedFP]

I'm sure it's already been seen and stated, but did anyone else notice

Spoiler

Ivan Berk

at the train station when you first get to Prague?

I absolutely love that they didn't blatantly pointed him out.

Loving the game so far, but only got to play for an hour or so before heading to work.

If he's the bomber from the reveal trailer, yeah I noticed him.

Speaking of that, wonder why it got changed from a bus to a train.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I desperately need to find a vendor I can sell stuff to

 

[DeathSparks]

I can't be the only one that found this to be similar

Lol I loved that episode.

How are players tracking first runs?

Ghost / non lethal
Lethal all the way
Fuck it, whatever happens

With ng+ do upgrades carry, possible to unlock everything?

That's a download on the website. Go to your products on squeenix's site then hit deus ex mk and the dl link is there.

 

[Bisnic]

I'm tempted to put my first praxis points into hacking so it can be easier and stop setting alerts all the time. Is that the right thing to do?

From what I read everything carries over in NG+ so you can unlock everything etc.

My first playthrough, I'm just having fun by playing a mix of stealth and lethal. I try to be sneaky but if I'm caught, I cause hell.

 

[daebo]

Getting the same thing here...did it twice and it is annoying because it sends you to the firefight before all the cutscenes. Ugh, anyone got advice?

It's happened to me two more times (4 total) and I'm about to quit... redoing the end and having to rewatch all the cutscene and walking (the stuff that I can skip, i do). But I don't know what to do and would love to play the game.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Dude you should definitely pick up Human Revolution too if you haven't played it before. Although the beginning is pretty slow, the atmosphere and setting are great. The gameplay is pretty fun and the story is imo interesting. :>

It's one of those games I always almost buy in the sale but never do for some reason. Maybe I will next time.

Edit: It's actually on sale now for £3.25 so I bought it, hopefully it's good!

Start each mission Ghost/Non Lethal, inevitably fuck it up mid way through, then Fuck it, whatever goes.

3rd try worked after I switched the game to Exclusive Fullscreen, but then it crashed after the next dialogue scene before I could save. My monitor went completely black, couldn't alt tab or anything, lost complete signal, basically a hard lock even though my 2nd monitor was working fine still, had to hard shutdown my PC. Frustrating as hell.

Yep add in a few reloads until I get bored then going rambo and that's me in every game like this.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Unpacking now but I'm at work crieee. Btw what are you guys using for this game - MK or game pad?

 

[Alias03]

Thank You, I was a bit confused on that one

 

[Stiler]

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

I can't find it then, I see no way to turn off only the highlighted "throwable" objects while still leaving it on the items you can interact with , like containers/levers and important things you actually want to see.

 

[leng jai]

I really hate when studios can't mix the sound levels correctly between pre rendered movies and in game levels.

I need to crank my speakers to hear pre-rendered stuff, then it's ear-cracking loud when it goes back to engine.

Yeah, the sound mixing for the prerendered cutscenes is off. Annoying as shit.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Does this run on gamebryo because the second I brush any movable object the collision freaks out and makes loud noises

 

[malfcn]

There is a Thug early on you can knock out in a restricted area. It's that okay? Generally don't do anything to named people, right?

I found the bedroom stash. But didn't see anything Malik.

 

[Acorn]

Thank You, I was a bit confused on that one

Np, it's laid out a bit weird.

 

[Panda Rin]

Better impressions after the opening sequence - the performance during the opening was awful and the mission itself was a bit frustrating.

Prague is much better.

I'm going for fast and lethal. I can't restrict myself to being a pacifist on the first run, too one-note honestly. I'm doing the dash aug, invisibility, and a silenced machine pistol. Get up close and take them out before they know where I am.

Prague is just amazing so far. The density is OVERWHELMING. Everyone I meet offers a long conversation, everywhere I go there are locked doors, keypads, computers, etc. It's crazy how there can just be so much stuff in such a small space. The world isn't even huge by any measure, but it's so packed with secrets I can't help but feel like I have no hope of ever seeing them all.

 

[Bog]

My Steam version won't finish downloading. My disk usage number is going up, but it's not actually downloading anything. Huh?

 

[gdt]

Did about 6 hours today.....soo good. I loooove the real world upgrades in these games. I'm just exploring and doing side quests in early Prague.

 

[rtcn63]

Any reason to keep all this alcohol? I know your apartment has a stash, but I'm out of room. And should I just sell these machine pistols etc.? They seem fairly common.

 

[KingKong]

The amount of detail is crazy. Its almost overwhelming when its so densely packed

I try to be sneaky but that quickly turns into, "Oh god fuck no please god I have to kill you all now"

 

[DeathSparks]

Lol I loved that episode.

Same, that was probably my favorite Spongebob episode, well other than Band Geeks.

 

[Social]

The first hours of this game have so many great examples of bad game/ui design, it's baffling. Everything they pretty much did right in the previous one went out the window.

 

[chrominance]

Dear Square Enix: if you're going to follow a giant gunfight where you have a shitty pistol against multiple armed enemies in a fucking sandstorm with TWO lengthy video clips and an in-engine cutscene, maybe think about inserting an autosave somewhere so that when the game crashes at the end(?) of that cutscene, I don't have to repeat the last twenty minutes or whatever of the game, starting with that shitty gunfight. Christ.

 

[B00TE]

Loving the game so far. Only thing that still bugs me is the 'cutscenes' when you do a take down, which was a nitpick for me in the last game too. But so far, still more of what I loved in HR, gameplay wise. Love the aesthetic too.

 

[rtcn63]

I'm having fun, but I agree with folks that the game feels like something that was meant to be released five to ten years ago.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Game is great. World feels pretty realistic, nice art design. Played about 6 hours sidequesting in first area.

 

[electroflame]

There is a Thug early on you can knock out in a restricted area. It's that okay? Generally don't do anything to named people, right?.

I'm not sure if it has implications later, but I did the same thing. I ended up coming in through the vent before I realized it was a restricted area, freaked out a bit when the Thug became overly-aggressive and panic-punched him in the face.

He's still chilling in the middle of the floor while his "Punk" girlfriend sits and watches TV all day.

I didn't kill him, so maybe he'll wake up later on if he's needed for something.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Anyone preferring a controller to keyboard/mouse for this game?

 

[Fledz]

Whose idea was it to hit space after a quick load, which launches you out of cover? Fucks sake QA people, you had one job!

Also fuck you Singh!

Spoiler

I saved him, took me like half an hour though :lol:

Join the club. Still trying shit to get past this wall of crashes after annoying cut scenes.

 

[Laurentius]

Adam sure loves his trenchcoats, haha. Make sure to check his email at his apartment.

 

[Recreat3]

So whats the consensus here, do I need to play human revolution to get a grasp on the story or is it the start of a new story. I want to play this asap as my friend is really hyped on it.

Yerp, just had to do that bs 3 times in a row.

 

[TheRed]

I have the hold B to unmark bug and it caused me to punch a few people by accident...

 

[HiiiLife]

Either I suck at these dialogues or these NPCs are some stingy mufuckas.

I won't hesitate to blast you fools away. This is not a pacifist play through lol.

 

[family_guy]

Kind of losing my motivation to play games where I have to pick shit up and manage my inventory all the time.

 

[PyroPaperPlanes]

So every time I open the inventory screen on the PC version, the game freaking softlocks. Adam holsters his gun, and other than specific menu commands, I can't do anything. Even escape doesn't work.

 

[Vic_Viper]

I cant seem to skip through dialog on the PS4 version. Anyone else have this issue? What button are you pressing?

 

[Kyoufu]

The lack of inventory space really does suck balls.

There's an Aug for that.
