Yeah, the non-lethal strat is a cloaked Jensen running around the construction site frantically cramming candy bars in his mouth between decking mercenaries.

My non-lethal run was just me tossing all the gas grenades I had hoarded and hoping for the best while using the stun gun and non-lethal takedowns on the stragglers.

 BTW, secret to dealing with those big heavy-armour, heavy-weapon guys? The melee takedown move still works on them. You can unload a shotgun from point blank range and they'll shrug it off, but one punch and they're out. Or one horrifying arm-blade that comes out of your elbow for some reason. Either way.

How expensive are mattresses?
About a grand?
|
Don't listen to Grace, he's in league with Big Mattress. Ext thing he will tell you to visit a chiropractor. Just sleep on a pile of dirt, like god intended. Honestly though, having a good mattress is absolutely worth it. You spend a quarter of your live on it and back pain sucks a lot. It was kinda weird hearing how you didn't even know of the possibility that a mattress could become soggy and uneven with age. Also they're not quite that expensive. Randomly googling "price mattress Canada, it seems you can get good ones for 200-300 Canadian dollar. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Aug 8, 2021 |

I actually really like The Missing Link, but this first section where it's just stealth-killing a bunch of dudes and dying a lot is a real pain. Once you get off the boat though, it's pretty great. Except for how I always forget I don't have the no-fall-damage aug and kill myself at least once.

C'mon Dan, the battery you had to plug in was right there on the floor. It just fell out. Can't really blame you for not seeing it in the hosed as poo poo design this section of the game has. It was better as a standalone because hooooly poo poo that inventory management and praxis stuff. If I remember right, the game actually gives you a fixed amount of praxis points after you complete this part and that can be less than what you had going in. So that's fun.

Oh hey, it's Savage. (UNATCO? No, Savage.) Also when you checked the PDA by the door in the lab facility you scrolled through it real quick, but at the end it said "Reed project." While you look for her Megan is just out there, doing crimes against humanity. You know, as you do.

That trade is another thing that's less of an unmitigated trainwreck when you play the standalone version, because then it's actually a good gun to have. They really spared every expense when shoving this part into the main game, huh? Couldn't even bother to rebalance the unique weapons to make them not terrible compared to your regular stuff.

Continuing the MGS themes, our ocean facility in the middle of nowhere, which serves as a front for some really shady poo poo, has its own Emmerich-type scientist. Shame it's one of the Huey-variety. "Weh, I'm involved in some of the most hosed human experimentation and wildly unethical poo poo on abducted victims imaginable, but I didn't know beforehand and it's too important so I'm just going to keep on doing it."

I just noticed in this episode that you're sort of start-stopping to get close to mines without triggering them - do you not know about the "walk" button? It's only useful for disarming mines, but it makes them completely harmless. Also, Invisible War is pretty great actually. It got a real bad rap for not being similar enough to the first one, but if you like HR and you're willing to put up with the frequent (but not particularly lengthy) loading screens, you should like IW.

Just to illustrate how rushed and unpolished The Missing Link was, and subsequently ported into the main game with not a single bit of effort put into it: Look at at Quinn's elbows during that last cutscene. They don't even connect to his loving model and the goddamn bright shining box behind him really highlights it.

Ah yes, the colossal scheming rear end in a top hat that was willing to shed an ocean of other people's blood being swayed by a 5 minute conversation pointing out he's being an rear end in a top hat resolution. Never satisfying that. At least he got some elbow swords to the lungs for his complicity in Gumbly's untimely demise.

It's amazing watching Dan be like "oh man I'm so low on ammo" after walking by all the endgame weapons caches meant to prep you for the boss fight, while still carrying two stacks of rockets (there are no more rocket launchers in the game IIRC.) For those who don't know, there are drawers under every one of the weird muscle mannequins in Jamir's boss arena with guns & ammo in them. In Director's Cut, there is also a fully upgraded laser rifle in an upstairs room if you aren't appropriately armed for the fight. Lots of the Omega Ranch lockers and the cargo containers outside Panchea have shedloads of ammo in them. Adam impacting the ocean at ballistic missile speeds and surviving without explanation is jarringly game-breaking. Why not have a cool cutscene of him bailing out with his no-fall-damage aug?

I've thought about that a lot too, my best guess is that originally Malik just dropped you off where you start the level, but then they wound up changing it (maybe so you dont have time to be like HEY MAGGIE SO WHAT THE gently caress WAS THAT poo poo). Then maybe they didnt want to make a smashed up LEO rocket model and just dumped Jenson in the drink. Maybe the game being about  theories is getting to me, it was probably just let's get to the good poo poo, but it sticks out as a weird choice

Ahh, the last minute realization that they needed to give a choice of ending or it wouldn't be a Deus Ex game. "Uhh uhh, gently caress! Um! Put in three buttons for the endings! No wait! Four!" I never knew the laser worked through glass like that, what a hilarious way to cheese the boss. And honestly, the ending you picked is the only ending worth picking.

The original Deus Ex (and, for all its faults, Invisible War) at least made you work for the endings. You needed to do lots of stuff before you could access them. (Or you could use a glitch and push the buttons through the wall, that worked too.) Congrats on completing the game! Even though you missed the secret ending where it turns out to have all been Gumbly's doing. He was the secret leader of the Illuminati all along.
