What is Cybermancy?
Is dying really bad?
Yes. Yes it is. You have a pool of resurrections, viewable in your stats. This pool depletes each time you die and you'll be reminded how many lives you have left when you meet your fate. When you die, you respawn where you fell or sometimes you'll respawn in the starting are of a level. When playing co-op the pooled resurrections is shared. If your co-op partner dies often, he'll empty your team pool very quickly. When this pool is emptied, the game is over and you'll have to restart the level again and lose all progress on the missions in that level.
Your character progression is saved. So that means any stats leveled up or changed remain that way.
So dying isn't bad?
It is. When you "die", you aren't really dead until your resurrection pool empties. So you come back to life, just like a good zombie. And like a typical zombie, your flesh doesn't take too kindly to all the injuries you sustain.
If you die, your body has the chance to receive a Fatal Injury. It might be a gimpy leg, a spongy head or a droopy arm. These are serious injuries which you cannot normally heal by meditating or by injecting yourself with drugs. Fatal Injuries affect your stats, depending on which part of the body was fatally injured. You might lose some speed, or your steady aim or even make you just a bit more stupid.
Fatal Wounds can only be healed by researching new technology. Find the Xium Prototype item and start on the path to Bioregeneration and a healthier zombie!

I was going to write a short guide with tips but someone on the Steam forums has already started compiling stuff. You can find the rest here.
You are a cyberpunk zombie. Yep, a zombie. You'll die. You'll die repeatedly and often. Until you learn. Then you'll die less often but you'll still die a lot. Learn enough and you'll start playing the game properly. There will be more dying though. Plenty of it.Shadowrun Wiki said:

hah well i just had my first shot at mp. anything over 6 or so players lags out something horrid (for me anyway) and missions are over way too quickly with a dozen people running around.. but damn if the cash doesn't pile up quickly!
edit: now i have some odd bug where activating research doesn't seem to work, but closing the research screen and reopening it shows that it has indeed begun, and at no cost!

Workin on interview with their composer Olivier "__MaX__" Zuccaro for game-ost.com. I hope it'll be there in few days. Want to admit he's just such a great person to speak with!
Don't know if the devs are still reading this
Issue?
In the Mars chapter, I activated 2 teleporters and then I exited the game; the game should automatically save after each teleporter activation. Upon re-entering (the next day) and loading my game, I found myself in a whole different place: a vast underground crypt full of bones e werewolves, presumably a far more advanced part of the mission.
I've been spoiled by the game!
The two teleporter I activated, before exiting the game were: the one to the left of the ruined temple where Deus Ex Machinas and Interceptors (which can be hacked, for those who wanted to know) battle constantly, and the one in the Rasta-Looters base.
And I must say, as my character is a a hacker specialized, the last maps feel less inclined to that kind of playstyle. On the Mars map is almost impossible to hack: everything spawn and die too fast. Even the map before, the one inspired to Alien second movie, is a classic corridor shooter map.
I think that the first maps, like New Eden and also the one before it, (the "green slums", with the "Ghost in the Shell building"; it had a lot of cornices and pipes I could climb) were the best. Their layout was more open and they were more adapt to be crossed and played in different ways (the enemy spawn points were more natural too).
In my humble opinion, since there is this rich stats system, which enables different-approach characters, maps like that are a huge plus to what the game is trying to achieve (provided I didn't misunderstand the game intentions).

I'm still on the New Eden mission. Are there really supposed to be that many enemies? Seems like a wave comes every 5 seconds. I guess I can turn the frequency down but that always makes me feel cheap.
At one point I must have had a continuous wave of 60 guys. They just kept coming and coming.

i've noticed maps seem variable in that one time you play it there might be wave after wave of enemies, and replaying it things might be relatively quiet. it's also kind of like left4dead in that if enemies are continually spawning around a corner ahead of you, reaching that corner seems to stop them from spawning there, so sometimes you might be better to run and take a position rather than trying to defeat all the enemies. then other times it all goes to hell

Well I finally threw in towel. I really, really wanted to love this game. The depth is there and oh man does the story call to me but the enemies are just not to my liking.
* The spawn infinitely. I lowered the occurring of waves and even checked the limited spawns option but they just keep coming. You can barely breathe. Looking one way? Guess what they just spawned behind you.
* They see you from a mile away every time. Unless you have full cloak on be prepared to get shot all the time.
* Hide in the dark? Nope. Hide around the corner? Nope. Full cloak? Sure as long as it lasts.
I could understand it if I was tripping alarms or something but they just spawn and rush your location. You can literally just pick a spot and spin in circles as they keep coming until your out of ammo.
Oh well. I hope people buy the game and find more enjoyment than I did. The developers deserve every cent.

Fast paced FPS in a RPG structure, with an RPG style level up systems, a tech research system, and VERY rough dialog options. The menu can take some getting used to but is not terribad.
I like it.

i've pretty much stopped using the radial action thingy, it keeps wiping my set actions so i've just assigned stuff to hotkeys. except for the "drone command" function which unfortunately can't be assigned
oktarb said:
sorry to hear it. if it might change your mind the dev blog says that in the next patch they will be adjusting the enemies cone of vision. i didn't have these problems myself but i'm not trying to play it very stealthily. also it might be worth trying a different build or playing a bit of co-op which will give you heaps of cash very quickly for levelling up your cybernetic implants and hence your armour. and the 2 psi clone abilities are very handy for drawing attention away from yourself, i imagine having drones/turrets would also help in that regard. But even the devs admit at the moment that playing a stealth build is very difficult. but yeah it's more an infinite-spawn game like L4D than say alpha protocol where you can be assured that no more enemies will appear once you've cleared an area.
not a game for everyone- i'm hesitant to recommend it to my friends- but personally i love it.
edit: well finished the game on normal, end spoilers:
didn't get "the real ending" i don't believe. things went a bit awol on the mars mission and i ended up telling the federation i would side with them, kinda by accident, then when i got to their ship i was a bit annoyed at myself for not finishing the mars mission properly, so i reneged on the deal and obliterated them all. suspect not finding the artifact there may have had something to do with the ending i got.
well on to NG+, still heaps of stuff to research and powers/weapons to buy, though dragon + scoped weapon is my favourite thing so far.

well that was pretty much what i expected: too complicated, too frustrating, lol source engine.
don't quite get the complaints about the menu myself, i mean all that stuff isn't going to fit on one page, and it's less confusing, to me, than say a bethesda game with it's multiple tabs of multiple pages. and how is having to walk to the guy that sells shit to buy shit different from any other RPG? i will never understand reviewers.
and the assumption that the average gamer has no patience for complex games kind of irks me, but i suppose en masse it's probably true.
So, this may sound stupid, but what's the best way about going with a melee weapon based, quick fighter with some hacking skills? I want to fly through the levels cutting off heads and shit, but stop to hack should the need arise.
Also, I've noticed that you can not assign the right SHIFT or the right CTRL keys to sprint and crouch. As a lefty who mainly uses the arrow keys to move, this is really hampering the way I play these games. =(

The Eurojank here didn't faze me in the least, when it came to the wonky UI, the bad English script, the weird tutorial functionality, etc. No problem, been there done that.
The dealbreaker really is that while you have a ton of character customization, everything you actually do to interact with the world seems totally half-baked and uninteresting. It really just drops you into a large map with waves of respawning enemies and primitive "kill this" or "talk to him" objectives as an excuse for being there? There's really no world here, and there's nothing satisfying about exploring something like a hotel, but it being empty room after empty room, no people, no items, just respawning enemies at the edges of the map.
It feels 25% complete. With the other 75% I'm sure I'd adore it.

From a little indie team the implementation is about what you'd expect, and the idea of what they were going for is great.
My most complaints is probably the UI and how it does feel that you're "dropped into a world and who the fuck knows what's going on" but that can be improved.
There's other complaints I have that others have stated but those are the two big ones for me.
After about an hour or two of playing around with this I think it's a 3/5 for me. Dunno what the whole game is like, I hear it's short though.

A "dizzying series of menus"? There are fewer menu screens than vanilla Oblivion. And he had to go through all 23 tutorial videos just to get a rudimentary understanding of basic mechanics? Come on. It's a little complex but not that impenetrable.
This is gold. Complain about having to buy weapons from the weapon guy, cybernetics from the cybernetics guy, etc... and that "difficult" research and upgrade system where it takes literally one click to initialize or put a point into something.
And he called the hacking boring, which is funny because compared to the likes of Mass Effect 1/2, Bioshock, Fallout 3/NV, and just about every other game with minigames it's pretty damn good.
I think I'm at the last bit of the game after seven hours of playing.
I found it quite interesting, and I've enjoyed it. I've appreciated the setting, and the art of both audio and visuals. I didn't find it too much complex / difficult to "read" or play, everything went quite smooth, save for the previously mentioned "teleporters" bug in Mars and a time I've been stuck in front of a certain mandatory secret passage
.
I didn't like when the game script sounds too much "teeny" or childish, expecting a much more gloomy mood: I found out of place periods like "You da man!", "Totally!", etc; surely it's just a matter of taste, but it gives me the same vibe Hellraiser's Pinhead jumping out screaming: "Freaking awesome!" would give me.
Dear developers, polish it a bit more and enrich the rpg side (ie giving a bit of life to NPCs and places) and I'm in for another run, thanks!

IGN got this right:
"The enemy A.I. all but sprint straight at you once they've seen you, and appear to possess an omniscience that allows them to instantly turn and shoot at you once you're exposed or detected."
After giving up on a more paced play style (as stated above) I tried going rambo style and equipped the chain gun. Ya that did n't work out much better. Still died a bunch but I kept at it.
I then started to hack turrets and 7 out of ten times after a successful hack the game would kill me and boot me back to the temple. Hurm.

Hows it post patch? Really interested in this along with some friends, but lot of negative impressions kinda scared me off. First big patch looks like they are going to at least put some work on this still.
BattleMonkey said:
The patch fixed pretty much every bug I experienced with the game. They are already working on another patch and there is rumblings of additional content being in the works. Oh, they've also said they're working on a demo so it might be worth waiting for that. I liked the game a lot but it's probably not for everyone.
Sorry for the bump, I guess?
The original devs seemingly dropped the ball when it comes to updating and adding new content. Either that or they don't like to communicate with their community.
I have played this game for about 15 hours and it has amazing atmosphere and gameplay at times, I enjoyed it far more than say, Deus Ex HR. It's like a first-person Syndicate.
I'm surprised by the horrible loading times though, the Source engine is terrible when it comes to that it seems.
I hope they do the right thing and patch the game, add some content, and lower the price to $10 on Steam. The game deserves to be played!
My favorite moment is actually near the beginning, where you jump/run down the ledge when you first exit the sewers. The fantastic ambient music kicks in as you dodge bullets with your sword and take down enemies with a single well-placed shot. It all feels so damn powerful and visceral because of the lack of bullet-sponging. And there are so many ways about it. Heavily reminds me of Ghost in the Shell as well, especially when you upgrade your character's abilities.
Also, some of the handguns look like they are heavily inspired by Deckard's gun in Blade Runner.

is the multiplayer important? just shot off an email to their support address asking about plans to provide a subscriptionless purchasing option for the game. from what I can tell it isn't possible to buy this at all outside of steam?
