it's pretty bad that I discovered the game has a limit on the number of saves you can have during
save limits suck
now I have to go back and override stuff...

First mission done, killed nobody, did all the stuff, almost got a ghost rating
, playing on "Hard".
Sadly my Steam timer seems to be borked but I played about 6-7h.
I love this game.

Played the first 20 minutes or so, I'm intrigued in the story. The combat feels fun even though I shoot my gun a lot when I wanted to slash with my sword (Right mouse = weapon in left hand and visa versa). I'm playing on normal now and the fighting is pretty easy though at this moment. I'm also just murdering everyone I come across.
I switched that shit immmmmmmmmmmmmmmmediately

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Just so this is clear, they mention ONE instance of a cutscene locked at 20 FPS on the 360, without tearing, and the same cutscene with tearing sees the lowest drop to 26FPS on PS3.
Please don't assume every cutscene on the 360 is locked at 20FPS.
On the flip side they also note the 360 version has better frame rate during actual game play, with less tearing there as well.

So, uh, is there any way to play this *now*, or do Europeans have to wait until the 12th?
PC, that is.

What I did was blinked out of the window and waited until he started knocking again. Turned on slow time then knocked the first guy out. Pulled out tranq darts and shot the guy knocking on the door while stabbing the last guy at practically the same time. Doing the whole thing in slow motion.

Yeah Slow Time seemed like a good stealth option for that situation but I was playing Blink-only so no fun for me : /

Something I really love about the game, I'm sure it's been mentioned but still:
Holding F after knocking someone out lets you carry him instantly instead of waiting for him to hit the floor. It's a minor thing but it's sooo good.

I'm on mission 6 and a good general tip seems to be to look for high routes through the levels. Use Blink to get up high then you can traverse mostly on rooftops, pipes, and vents to stay hidden.
Leaning is also really fucking useful. You poke out pretty far and only where you were before the lean is what can be spotted by enemies.
no more, I am afraid
but thanks anyway, former compatriot!
Awwww

eh, its only for 5 months. but yeah, damn nice here
ok, now on to install this thingy then!
This is why I'm glad to be playing this on pc. When I play games on my 360 I have the need to go out of my way to get achievements. On the pc I don't really care about them. It's that damn sound they make on the 360. It's just so satisfying

okay I'm confused I didn't kill
but when I got back his
acts like he died?
I even remember the mission giving me a checkmark saying I was successful :-/

It does make me wonder if achievements are ultimately going to become a novelty only a hardcore minority care are even there. And they definitely seem more detrimental to a game like this if seriously pursued on a first run, at least beyond junk like "find every book" or "get this ending".
Although I had it fail to trigger during the intro too, so it's not like the game's reliable in rewarding me!

Did you

Blink-only is actually providing a really satisfying challenge. Without stuff like Time Stop, there's no get out of jail free cards and everything has to be planned pretty well. At the same time, it doesn't feel frustrating at all. It doesn't seem like they designed the levels with level 2 Blink, or other powers in mind.

Steam doesn't track play time while in Offline Mode.
This is the best advice I can think of. Fuck up early, relax, and leave the OCD runs for later.I reckon the attempted stealth/reactive playthrough with reload only on death run is the most enjoyable way to first experience a game.
DXHR I played through first as no alarms no kills and it was fine. However playing the expansion for the first time as a reactive play was so much more enjoyable to me.
Also then there's more reasons to play it again.
Let go and just roll with it
The powers are too neat for me to ignore, but it really does seem like the kind of thing you'd rather do on a replay when you're familiar with the levels.
Of course, you could probably say the same about a psychotic "murder everything" run leading up to a ghost run.

I was able to install the game on my laptop, but the damn game will not start my rig, it pisses me off. Other games install fine, except Torchlight 2 demo. What's causing all this?

Can't decide on Xbox 360 version or PC. Surround system VS shitty headphones. I'm also afraid that my Razer Deathadder Left Hand Edition will fuck up my controls and reverse the mouse buttons in strange ways. But I would get suck a pretty game on my PC!
Damn. Help, me GAF.

I prefer going from more-restrictive to less-restrictive. Its like training in the hyperbolic time chamber. Really tough at first, then you get out and you're a fucking beast.

All of your PC problems are fixable. 30 FPS will always be shit.

This game is so much fun.
I finished the first mission, didn't get Ghost, but managed to not kill a single person. Unfortunately I fucked up in the prologue and didn't really feel like making a no kill run my first time through, especially since the assassinations are so much fun. I think this first playthrough will be a mix of deadly and stealthy. I don't think I have it in me to go full Rambo.
Blink is so much fun to use. Even though I have Possession and Slow Time, really, all I'm using is Blink because it's just wicked.

I love achievements when it comes to comparing games with friends. They are great for seeing how far your friends are so that you don't accidentally spoil anything. It's only when they confine you to a certain play style that I start to dislike them. Also they are actually worth something on the 360 now.

Yeah, this is how I play as well. Unless there are some really easy achievements or if they align with my playstyle anyway.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Truthfully I wouldnt suggest staying online with the VPN running. Just start up the offline mode. Be sure to do it while the VPN is still on, if not offline mode will not work with the game. Meaning it will still be "locked". Once in the offline mode then you can switch off the VPN.
Alexios
Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Anyone found a solution to this?
Edit: oh, VPN legal to discuss here? Cool. Cos that's the reason I want a fix for this, I don't wanna stay online with the VPN (and I only used one on trial anyway, I doubt I'll make a habit of this, but it was annoying to wait for the unlock, I bought it in EU price).
Being able to blink while carrying a body is genius. Blink behind a guard -> choke -> loot/carry at the same time -> blink away
<3 this game
Doing that is so cool. I was stuck on how to get this NPC help, in the first area. They were blocking a door so I blinked behind them just enough not to be seen. Choked his buddy out and blinked away before being seen. Blinked back in and got the other guy. Trying to do the least amount of killing as possible.
This game rewards experimenting so much. Makes you feel like such a badass. My GOTY so far.
