Anyone have any ideas on why I have trouble recording JC Denton in Fraps? The movie that results is always incredibly dark; much darker than the actual game. I just want to make wonderful movies of JC Denton to share, but Fraps insists on wearing sunglasses at night.

I've always had a problem with alt-tabbing (or crashing) from the game leaving my desktop really bright. I'd suggest just taking the footage and messing with the gamma in your video editor. I've never tried it myself, but I'm sure it's a gamma issue.

I just finished the first bit at VersaLife, and holy poo poo, escaping through the vents without setting off the alarm is great. I only have one question, though. Where do you run into Paul, if he survives NYC Tracer Tong and his Guards keep telling me about him, but I can't find him anywhere. Is his disappearance related to my raid of the police station or breaking of VersaLife?

He'll show up in a little while, don't worry about it.

I just finished the game a 2nd time, choose the New Dark Age ending, which was kind of weak. I like the Illuminati ending the best so far. Now trying Invisible War. It is kind of meh but screw it, and excuse to mess around with ragdoll physics.

Lonjon posted:Another fine example of NPCs unlocking doors for JC is in the first minute of this speedrun video. The speedrunner hurls a gas grenade at the walls of the UNATCO building. Some guard inside the building gets a lungful of gas and decides to open the front doors to yell at JC. JC waits for him to open the doors and immediately shoots him in the face. Wammo-blammo, JC is inside UNATCO without having to even look at the Statue of Liberty. This is hilarious, he skips the entire rocket launch sequence with one rpg shot through a wall. Then in area 51 when a mob of MIBs appears in an elevator he just goes invisible and chills out in the elevator with them.

My favourite thing in these videos is the player's habit of one-shotting people in the head with the sniper rifle who are approaching to engage conversation, so he can save as much time as possible!

Escape through the vents? I just ran back out, turned on my augmented legs, and jumped from the third floor offices out the front door, like a true action hero.

You need at least level 3 legs to get up there. You jump on the railing, then on top of the dome thing, then into the vent as you close the grate. If you do it right, it will close so you can stand on it.

How were you supposed to save Paul? If I remember correctly he died when a bunch of bad guys bust into the apartment and he's all sick or something. Could you actually stick around and win that fight?

Let him do the fighting for you or set up lams or whatever, and exit through the front door only. Do NOT exit through the window, as that's where the "Paul dies" flag is set. Even if you kill everyone, exiting through that window makes him "dead" This is all in the OP isn't it? E: nope not in OP, thought i saw someone say it was

Then I will fling you at your buddy. Then I will pile all your bodies up in a heap and set them on fire.

Or you could grab the Cloak augmentation before you steal what you've been sent to steal, then waltz over to the vent entrance in the labs when the alarm goes off. Remember, nobody will get mad at you as long as you don't pick any locks, hurt anyone, or enter the security office by the receptionist's desk. I'd also assume that using a multitool on something would trigger the "everyone's mad at you" switch, but I haven't tried it.

Anyone ever do a no-augs run of DX? Any fun?Grand Fromage posted:The rear end in a top hat physics in Invisible War are almost unmatched, it's the best part of the game. Near some sort of aircraft hanger (Egypt?), I once piled a bunch of explosives into a corridor, pissed off some guard, and made him chase me down said corridor. After I popped the explosives and the smoke cleared, I found that the explosion sent his hands flying through the walls, and refused to relinquish them. The corridor was much wider than the guard's normal armspan, making it look as though I had crucified Stretch Armstrong in midair.

So I'm trying to get the Blackjack in shifter, does that mean I need to make sure no one dies, like even from Navarre and stuff? I managed to get to Paul's apt. only knocking people out but it didn't spawn, however I'm pretty sure some NSF and UNATCO guys got into a shootout. Bit annoying since I was using quick saves so I'll probably need to restart, so I want to get it right this time.

Why don't people like Liberty Island? Just because it's the beginning when they don't know how to play the game? I think the early NYC stuff is the best part that made it seem far better and more interesting than any other FPS I've played, but then it becomes a typical sci fi video game story.

You can also get the Blackjack on a not-too-far return trip to NYC. It'll be on the table in the hotel's office regardless of how lethal you've been. mp5 fucked around with this message at 11:24 on May 9, 2010 |

Rex Deckard posted:summon augmentationupgradecanister Thank you, very much  I'm considering purchasing Invisible War just to get some more Deus Ex, I've heard it's not as good, but then I hear it has some pretty cool stuff like arsehole physics and a mod for weapons that vaporizes glass instead of loudly smashing it, which is something I quite wanted in the original actually. Any thoughts?

If you can get it cheap I'd go for it. It's passable as a game but terrible as a followup to Deus Ex. There were a few interesting bits, the NG Resonance AI plot for example.

SeanBeansShako posted:Wait, so throwing full grown bodies at super speed doesn't do much damage? what kind of sick fun hating bastard decided that. That's one thing that annoyed me, that most objects, including bodies, were worthless when thrown. You almost had to test them, like a metal trashcan inside couldn't hurt anyone, but a tire outside could obliterate them. I did that by accident: threw a tire up in the air in Cairo and watched the conversation between the poet and the businesswoman until the tire came down on his head and ended his suffering. Then I knocked a fire barrel over and it set a cat on fire and the cat burned three people to death. I think that same patch, the one that fixed some crash problem or something, that introduced the infinite-multitools bug: you would walk over a multitool on the ground and suddenly it would spawn a gradually expanding pile of them.

I am not sure how many people know this, but "Project Snowblind" was orginally being developed as a side story of Deus Ex called "Deus Ex: Clan Wars". After DX:IW failed so hard, they decided that it didn't would probably sell better as a separate title. That said, I still think that "Project Snowblind" is a better sequel to the original Deus Ex, even if it has be "consoled-up" a bit and doesn't have the branches in the story like killing or not killing major characters.

SeanBeansShako posted:It sure is a claustrophobic game compared to the other one In the quotes file in the "secret ending" one of the developers jokes that since they have a couple months left before deadline they should put vehicles back in, and another quips that players should have a pretty good time driving them down all the hallways the game is made up of.

Ugh, who thought it'd be smart to spring a billion choices on the player in the first hour alone? and gently caress the cramped rear end inventory of this game. To amuse myself, I've been pretty much been dicking about making neutral NPCs attack something then blow themselves up with their own grenades and throwing coffee pots in the faces of anyone I don't like. The Omar are kind of cool.

Also, why the hell didn't they keep the original weapons designs from Deus Ex and pretty them up? That one kind of ammo only thing is dumb. And it was also retarded forcing you to get a Biomod for hacking.
