I had to look it up, but yes!
Maybe I should go read the Reddit thread, but are you saying that if you never install any Typhon neuromods, you should NEVER get the Nightmare quest, or do you mean it would just trigger automatically that one time and now it doesn't? Because I kind of can't imagine going through the game without the Nightmare.
EDIT: Reading the Reddit thread now, it sounds like a glitch that didn't always happen, because I went no-Typhon and I don't recall ever being chastised for installing Typhon mods or having the Nightmare quest show up upon the completion of Copy Protection. Weird.

We'll get more when DF checks out the Pro patch. I really hope they address performance. This game is fucking amazing and bugs are keeping it from its full potential.

Is there a proper way to deal with
? I've just been running away from them,
military bots
it seems since they were introduced that's all I've been doing as they respawn when you kill them so what's the point?

If you want them to stop spawning in the area, block the operator fabricator with an object.

Would never have thought of that. BTW,
I've started to just hack them, seems to work although I'm getting sick of the mini game lol

There is a finite number that can spawn from each spawn point, but its usually like 3-4. The stun gun (especially with range upgrade) will disable them instantly for your hacking. EMP nades also good. For outright destruction, stun gun fully beefed up with firepower upgrades will wreck them in 2-3 shots, not wasting your other ammo.

Well I'm done with my second playthrough, I initially gave the game a 4/10 and later discovered I played it very wrong and missed a lot so I started again and now I'd give it a 7/10, it was a much more enjoyable experience when played "right". The funny thing is my second run was only 12 hours, compared to 14 hours on my first run yet I did so much more the second time, I skipped almost all side missions the first time but did the majority of them this time. I guess just being familiar with the game caused this. My character was also far more progressed, I probably installed twice the amount of weapon upgrades and mods, it helped immensely, if you remember before I complained about dying constantly, never having an resources and just feeling extremely weak, well that wasn't the case this time at all. This is the first time I have ever replayed a game I didn't enjoy and I'm glad I did, plus I got the ending I wanted this time. Oh and I actually got to kill a bunch of
this time, on my first run I only saw and hid from one but that was it.
Nightmares
Jump scare got me. The one after you give that
caught me by surprise.
Feel like I've been plugging at the game for a while but I'm still enjoying it. The audio is kind of messed up though, in regards to people talking sometimes.
One question, where do I find that
lady the booster shot and then go into the nearby medbay. The guy falling out

What's the most likely place someone would go to in case a space station goes through a serious emergency?
He'll be at the escape pod on the bridge. Make sure to signal Danielle by hitting the pool window at the fitness center a few times with the wrench before dealing with the imposter

Aaaand done. I hope they can fix this.
Just got my first ending, I think. Sort of.
How long do I have until I finish the game? I'm loving every second of it so far.
I figured it would be cool to see what the "escape Talos" thing would do. Turns out the game actually lets you escape. Cool stuff hinting at what I think is the plot. I've solved all of the crew quarters sidequests and I'm going to deep storage next.

Use the glue gun to immobilise them and then beat them with the wrench until they drop to the the floor damaged but not destroyed (they will stay there like that indefinitely), you don't have to kill them that's what causes them to respawn.

I'm about to get this game. I have a general question about the multiple endings, please no specific spoilers.
I heard that there are some endings that end the game early. I also heard that using alien powers gives you a "bad" ending. I just want to know if using alien powers will end the game early for me. It sounds like one of the more fun ways to play, but don't want to miss out on a lot of the game.

You have to go out of your way to get an early ending. It's basically a side quest so you can revert at any time, there is no point of no return or anything.

I ment report on how it actually plays with the pro patch. I know the patch is out since it is posted right above my post
Using Typhon does not give you a bad ending, I went full Typhon and got the achievement for getting the best ending

FUUUCK, I REALLY want to hurry up and finish Nioh (on the 3rd island), so I get finally get to this
Game is becoming a slog....

Came across an annoying bug so I'm having to load an earlier save and hope it corrects itself, it's especially annoying as I'm trying to kill everyone
Rani isn't in the cargo bay where she should be after being saved in the arboretum even though the other npc`s comment as if she is and also, for some reason even though all of the Typhon in the area where you first enter the cargo bay have been killed, that guy won't open the damn air lock

Creepy at first, but then you start to look at them as sneaky little pests. I like them now, lol.

New update for Xbox One. Are there patches or does anyone know what has changed? I wish they would add patch notes on the console itself.
Also, I have finished the game a few weeks ago but now I wonder about something. Someone mentioned something about a part with a green dot? I never encountered this. Anyone know what I mean?

Its in the
Looking Glass conference room in Hans Kelstrup's office. You click the green dot on the glass a few times, then suddenly a Phantom appears. Creeper out a fellow guys here and broke the glass in the process lol
As for the patch, it fixes a few things. Namely the glitch where you get the "The Nightmare is Hunting You" quest after completing "Copy Protection" despite not installing Typhon Neuromods

Thanks man. Damn I actually didn't get that part then.
but maybe good, better for my heart, hahaha.

For real. I yelled ohhhh shit! Love this game, lol.
Man, I'm really not a fan of the outer space sections. Like, I love the normal gameplay but I dread having to go outside the station. Not because it's difficult, just...well, it's sorta boring and annoying.
Also,
Also,
I love Dahl. He shows up basically out of nowhere and he talks like a cartoon villain. Got no idea who he is, barely know why he's here, and he's just like being all smug while everybody is dying for no reason at all it's great.
Bought this today, enjoyed 2h on PS4 Pro, died in the lobby where you get the
, clicked load last save, and the game crashed to desktop and corrupted all three saves, which now don't load - all crash to ps4 home screen with same error code (C-34878-0).
I realise 2h isn't that far, but even if I start again there's no guarantee it won't happen again. Game breaking bug need fixing. Sad face.

See it's on deal of the week on the UK psn... tempting! £35
Oh but it is. I would be really pissed with this, I don't have 2 hours to waste.
You're right, I was being kind. I'm furious, as Arkane said a previous patch fixed this issue, so I bought it and had 2h of free time today to enjoy it. An 18month year old son and a pregnant partner and a full time job doesn't leave a lot of free time, so it's highly irritating to have the little time I have wasted.
Little bugs are par for the course these days, but a bug that randomly corrupts all your saves and renders them unusable is beyond ridiculous.
Rant over!
No, still on 1.04.

I just recently lost like 30 minutes of progress in SOMA and it almost made me quit the fucking game to be quite frank. It's incredibly frustrating and fun-murdering when you're an adult with barely any time to play as it is. That's the cherry on top of the fact you paid full price for a product that may or may not work. I know it's just 'the times' that this goes on, but I can't really wrap my head around it to be honest.
I'm STILL holding off on Prey pretty much because every time I pop in here to check on its state, it still seems fucked up.
Yep. Spent ages writing a ticket to technical support, and they basically replied with "try reloading your last save, or reinstalling the game. If that doesn't work, it's a bug, and we can't help further. Try posting on the forums."
I mean, the least they could do is pass it on when you've written out a ticket with all the details.
Thanks. The ending to that was a bit anti-climatic, lol.
Is it a bug when the personnel tracker just deactivates when I enter the GUTS looking for Josh Whatshisface? The tracker is supposed to take you to their bracelet so it's pretty odd that the whole things just disappears and apparently I'm supposed to look through the whole place myself.

Thought the same,
he's just sitting there and I put one in his head and was like "oh, guess that's that then".
After figuring things out
I'd just run up, disable the trap, let him blather, then he'd die. I'd loot the area... then throw the recycle charge in anyway for materials.

Finally finished the game (~25 hours). Explored a lot and did most of the side quests, I think. Game started very strong, but the last 25% were a big let down. Instead of fighting/sneaking my way through the endgame I honestly ran past most enemies, because they were able to sock too much damage and their re-spawning nature was annoying. Ruined the game for me a bit, to be honest.
Still one of the best 'dungeon crawlers' I've played in a long time, with some nice twists, but a bit too long with a bit too much running around back and forth if you want to do side quests and an annoying last part (visually cool though). A strong 8/10 for me.

I very much agree with this, the game doesn't end strong at all, the actual ending was cool but the last hour or so wasn't fun IMO, the
