Has anyone tried the HDTP full release beta? I heard the full version was recently released, but haven't gotten the chance to try it yet. I don't know if it supports the awesome biomod but it seems pretty cool that its finally out in a playable form. I didn't see it mentioned in the last few pages to see if it was brought up.

Is it weird that, after getting a tricked out 10mm/rifle/Dragon's Tooth I still find myself taking down people with a Baton whenever possible? I don't even use the prod that much because it doesn't knock guys out in one shot like a well-placed Baton hit does. I like the minimal force approach, we're cops after all. VV They were all dead except for the office workers and I didn't want to look like too big of a dick, walking back over their fried bodies.

I played the full HDTP with shifter and it worked just fine. Didn't test biomod because biomod is not fun, but I suspect it should work equally well.

I just bought this game on steam (GOTY edition) and I cant for the life of me figure out how to install that fixer in the OP. But it looks pretty good anyway with the settings upped. Did Steam integrate better graphics and such already?

Oh, that works great! gently caress this game is confusing. That goddamned machine gun sitting over the door on the first mission keeps killing me. The prod stunner thing is fun though.

That's not the only way in.  Alternatively: GEP!

Yeah, I think it's pretty well agreed upon that while Liberty Island is a good level, it's kind of a lovely starting mission. It asks a lot of you and gives you very few tools or hints. That said, here's a hint: take the GEP gun.

For a better experience, I'd go ahead and install biomod on your first playthrough. This will remove some of the trap augs/skills and make it less likely you'll waste skill points and upgrade cannisters.

Or if you want kinda the basic game with improvements to streamline the experience, try shifter. It does not gently caress around so much with augs/skills but it will make the game way nicer to play. Biomod is better, but if you want to experience the 'base game' first, try shifter.

Try to take out as many guys as you can with the prod/tranq darts/a baton. The baton in particular is great for the whole game, sneak up behind guys and hit them in the small of their back and it's almost always a one-hit knockout.

Some glitches (it is a beta) and you can't use the fancy MJ12 soldier textures because if they sit down the game crashes. Apparently the other models function well enough though. and apparently the only mods compatible are New Vision and something called give me deus ex mode. So no shifter or Biomod.

Finally beat this for the first time the other day, totally rad even if your power progression was really back-loaded. A question about the end sequence though (tagged but probably doesn't need to be)- When trying to access Aquinas Station A3, will Page always blow up the generators in there? After getting fried/nearly fried twice trying to enter that room I just said gently caress it and hacked the Aquinas control room panel with some Multitools. It was so satisfying watching that prick say "Hey, don't take Helios, I wanted it  ". gently caress you Bob Page.

fleshweasel posted:Voice acting in mods always makes me shudder. The original game had loads of terrible "friends/family of the developers" actors especially in Hong Kong but goddamn. I remember seeing a few Freespace mods that had sort of decent acting. But from what I recall it usually involved contacting voice-over groups that would do volunteer non-commercial work (for experience I guess) or family members with acting experience and obviously took forever to get all the lines recorded in between whatever more important work the actors had going on. And if the writing sucks to begin with (or simply wasn't written with voice-over in mind) it's just going to sound even worse when it's voiced. If your only option is to get your mod team/mod team's roommates to read lines into a $10 PC mic it's definitely better off just leaving everything unvoiced.

Nameless mod had some alright voice acting. I don't know much about this sort of thing, but I'm fairly certain the biggest problem is probably an enviroment conductive to voice acting is harder to get as a modder. The accoustics, especially are a problem. Little Blue Couch posted:Yeah, I think it's pretty well agreed upon that while Liberty Island is a good level, it's kind of a lovely starting mission.

I was getting around to playing Invisible War, since I've decided to at least play all the games I own on Steam and... I've heard so much about it but it still couldn't prepare me about how baffling the whole design is. It is like they decided to take a step back in every single thing that there was in Deus Ex 1. Universal ammo, universal multitools, removing the computer interface and the option of putting in codes manually, the whole bloody interface, the lack of any sympathetic characters at the start and... Well, I've only played half an hour, but goddamn. It is like the platonic ideal of "dumbing down for a mass audience and completely missing the point" made manifest. I don't know if I'll manage to play this.

Not that IW is a bad game, it's mediocre at worst, but it definitely doesn't hold a candle to the first.

C-Euro posted:Was bored last night and decided to try out Unrealistic Mode (in Shifter/Biomod). A stray bullet from the first NSF agent I saw caused the second NSF agent I saw to blow up Unrealistic makes all NPC bullets explosive, though it doesn't really make much of a difference. Just a small bit of splash damage, when you'll already be dying fairly quickly if you're hit anyway. There are 10mm explosive rounds that you can use, which are available on any difficulty, and they're a lot stronger. Another thing you should watch out for is pissing off cleaning bots or animals, especially if there are any corpses nearby. Not only can they start with weapons, though that's rare, they can pick up weapons and use them.

Are there explosive 10mm rounds in the game or was it scripted to treat the bullet like a rocket (or other type of ammo) when it contacts someone?

Yeah, having finally beaten the game I realized that explosive 10mm ammo actually exists. And thank God too, they were perfect for taking out those little spider robots.

The problem with voice acting in a Deus Ex mod is how completely necessary it is. I tried that 2027 mod but the first time I had to stand there and read my codec call I couldn't believe what a difference it made. If you aren't walking around listening to people talk to you over your radio you don't feel like you're playing Deus Ex. Nameless Mod know this and nails it perfectly.

It really isn't even worth beating because it's so dumbed down and the plot is basically a crappy rehash of the first game.

Invisible War has a couple of good ideas -- obligatory mention of the Omar and NG Resonance, but I think Dr Nasif character and the Coffee Wars subplots are fundamentally strong ideas with botched executions. I really like the way that Invisible War tries to explore the way that Deus Ex's conspiracies operate on more mundane levels than was focussed on in the first game, though I find the game in general is borderline lovely. Future Cairo's pretty exotic though. I'd love to be able to revisit it in a Human Revolution sequel.

Are there any good LP's for this? I've always wanted to see what this game is about but I'm started and quit about 4 times over the past five years. I figure at worst I can watch an LP when I have some free time.

That's the curse of Deus Ex for me too. I've owned it for years and I've kept trying to get into it, and I can just barely eke out the second level past the introduction and then I just lose interest. Someday I'll beat you, Deus Ex, I swear!

So I watched about 20 minutes and said screw it, I'm playing this. I installed the GOTY edition along with several mods and I just got through the first mission for the first time ever. By the way, some of these mods are INCREDIBLE. It practically puts an HD polish on the game while maintaining the same look. It always amazes me what the modding community is able to do on PC. In case anybody is interested, here are the mods I installed. Deus Ex Enhanced Version Shifter Kentie's DX10 renderer for Deus Ex New Vision HDTP Here is the link for Deus Ex Enhanced Version. The rest of the mods are linked directly on that page http://www.moddb.com/mods/deus-ex-enhanced
