Hmmm Can't say. Never really had that happen. Normally when a guy just falls over nearby in the field of vision the other guy comes running over. Hell sometimes I had to run and hide for a good while before they stopped looking for me. The ai can be brutal when it comes to going after you, finding you, and then swarming your ass. There was quite a few times where I would kill three guys, and another guy would show up, then two more, then another two and the bodies would just keep stacking.
sounds very good. I always hated to kill a guy and see that nobody cares because they are deaf and blind. I had to accept it as a gamey part.

Well don't get me wrong there are still those moments. Like someone being killed, everyone is on alert and searching like crazy and then "well he must have got away, carry on!"
Nice. Thanks for clarification

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
The stealth alert system is concerning, seems like something that can be very annoying but might not really deter some gamer's experiences depending on how they approach the game. Like I said before, a potential 8-12 hour experience is a bit disappointing. I'm not usually one for side-quests or second play-throughs, so a rent might be a better option for me.
Anyways, thanks for the impressions. Still seems like a really great game.
they never go back to their lull state though according to devs. They are in a yellow light state or something like that.
Not going to lie, I like free stuff, like everybody else does. And I don't want to pirate, but when the publishers can't get their shit together and release games based on region on a digital platform without any good reason, I will.
Alright. I did that with FIFA 13 on Origin but didn't realize it would work on Steam as well. Will probably do that, thanks.

Pretty sure your comment is also bannable though.
If you consider the pirated version as a preview only and buy the game when it's available, then there's really no harm done..
Really?

If they don't ever go back to their lull mode I never noticed. Regardless I had a fun time gameplay amd mechanic wise. Its the story and lack of resolution on some things that diasappointed me the most. I was most impressed with the world they created and wanted to know more. Sad I didnt really care for any of the characters either.

I wonder if this game has that "holiday" feel to it... you know what I mean. Games that you love to play during the cold season around Thanksgiving/Christmas. Some that come to mind are Uncharted 2 (the snowy village particularly zomg), Twilight Princess, just about any Mario game, Halo, etc.
I've had well placed faith in Arkane to create a good game, and I was already sold on the it, but I just watched the first 10 mins of the GB quick look and I know I'm going to fucking love this game.
It seems like the blink skill is just like the next version of the rope arrow from thief, and as long as the levels are designed to account for it, it makes it super fun.

I've read all the review summaries and they seem kind of vague to me. I still don't have any idea what this game is about or if it's fun 
Couple questions:
If I hated Bioshock but I loved Deus Ex: HR, will I like this game? Further to that, If I've beat both games, am I missing something here?
What's the replay value like? Any skills to continue building, collectables, and such?

There are 2 different endings based on a kill or no kill path. No respecing, and although you can replay past missions you have the powers at that time (not any you gained since).

So some slight tearing in the PS3 version?
Probably, UE3 never change. Uhm, 360 appears a bit more blurried. Bizarre.

And the 360 version as well it seems, judging by that comparison

It doesn't seem that bad the ps3 version looks less blurrier and the view distance is greater.

Is it possible to enter the code now and play it tomorrow via vpn? Or do I have to activate it via vpn?
Activate it and preload it normally, after that the game with the VPN, go into offline mode and exit the VPN. Then stay in offline mode until it official releases in your region or else it'll go back to being locked.
If you got a EU key, the former.

Thanks guys. Preloading now.
They look basically the same. A waste of time to split hairs over, that is for sure.
It's available now in certain Toys R Us.
Having played the game this weekend, it gets my GOTY. I've most all major releases this year and this far exceeds all of them. Looking back on it, I'm pretty blown away
About 14 hours is when midnight hits on the US east coast and the game starts to go on sale in stores and unlocks in Steam.
Does anyone know when GMG is going to start sending out codes?
Already happening.
I meant US PC release time as it gets online activated. I will be activating my version via VPN if I can pull it off.
So guys does it matter if I get the dishonoured EU copy or the standard one off greenmangaming? It won't let me buy the EU one... so I assume standard copy is fine? Will this affect my activation via VPN?
So many unsure questions./..
Thnx bro

Why should there be a difference?
Yes and yes. There is no 'sell', everything you but is essential.

I'm a bit on the fence about this game. I know most serious gamers love non-linear games, but I actually prefer more guided experiences. I always feel like maybe I took the wrong path or maybe I'm missing something far cooler by not taking the right instead of the left way or whatever. It's like I want to go one way and then backtrack as soon as possible and go the other way.
God knows why I'm like that.

All the more reason to go back and play it again and get more bang for your buck. Choices and consequences offer replayability, which is a good thing.
Don't expect there to be a reason as they are just keys... I am just being cautious as its IT and there can be another arbitrary hurdle in there somewhere.
Bought for £22.50, a steal baby!!!
