Joe Gillian posted:I had one other guard toss it away, and another guard said something along the lines of him having reflexes like a cat. This game isn't amazing or even really great in the slightest, but I really do enjoy some of the ways you can gently caress with people. When that happened to me, the guy shouted "Oh my god... Tell my wife!.. Tell my Wife... I hosed her sister!" Then he threw the grenade away and was totally fine. That must have been awkward. Really the only part about the game I totally hate is the music system. I can see what they were going for, but they should have had A: a lot more music, and B: Pre-organised playlists in the vein of other games radio stations. But those can be modded in. Also, is there any point in getting the deluxe edition if I'm gonna buy the season pass? As far as I can tell getting the season pass and the base game will get me pretty much everything, except an outfit recolour and some gun.

At night, in the rain, the game looks pretty drat good. During the day, in the dry it looks pretty average.

Friend of mine says the profile thing sucks cause there are way more options to hack the innocent than the actual morally questionable people they stand next to. Is this true? It's petty I know. But it just sounds like such a stupid and poo poo gimmick when your choice of robbing others is less who you can rob and more should/shouldn't I cause they don't deserve it.

There's no tie to the morality system for the hacks, it's just whether you personally think it's ok to steal that persons $200 and can live with the guilt of loving over some digital cancer patient or whatever the game assigns them. The entire premise of the game is flawed in the same way. You got caught robbing people and as a consequence of your actions your niece died, so you go out and continue robbing people despite the fact your sister and nephew could still be targetted whilst on your quest for revenge because.

Pretty sure 99% of games I've seen previews for look a lot better than the actual game I get my hands on. That's kinda an industry standard thing to do- preview it on some super computer or selectively editted demo.

The profile stuff is basically random, you have maybe 3/4 people in a block who you can siphon cash from, get crime info from (prevent crimes, criminal convoys, etc), listen in on their phone calls/texts, or get crafting items from. Just think "Hey, free money!" because that's basically what it is. You won't really ever run out of cash by just walking a couple of blocks.

I dont expect the console versions to look like the e3 2012 demo. But the pc versions should. I also have no problem with cgi videos cause they are always obviously cgi.

I don't give a tremendous gently caress about graphics, my question is how much fun it is to gently caress with people, because that's the only reason this game ever looked appealing. So, how much fun is it to gently caress with people? Hurry up GMG

We're so far away and it's still way too profitable so expect this to be standard practice up to the point where we literally can't tell the difference and they will still make some promotional material to attempt to make it look even better and it will fail to deliver.

The thing that impressed me most about the original trailer was the implications that missions had multiple methods of completion, more than just the "ghost vs. shoot everybody" like Deus Ex HR. In the thing they showed off it seemed like you could wait for the guy to arrive at the club and confront him there, or you could do what the demo guy did and go out into the street and cause a major traffic accident. So my question is, how well does the game do that, because those expectations are way more important to me than graphics.

Gamesguy posted:For people who bought it on steam, don't bother trying to unlock the game early with VPNs. I just tried Korea, Japan, and Australia servers and none of them has it early despite what wiki claims. You hosed something up then. I unlocked via Australia and it worked perfectly. Also, the cops in this game do not gently caress around, I tried one side mission where I should transport a car, instantly get wanted level two, FINALLY manage to get rid of the cops, then I have to dodge some yellow search lights and if I get detected, I get wanted level three which is impossible. (Of course, I'm like one hour into the game so I have none of my cool upgrades yet) Is there any reason why there are fixers that sell you digital trips around the city, when you have all the trips unlocked from the start and can use them anywhere?

In the thing they showed off it seemed like you could wait for the guy to arrive at the club and confront him there, or you could do what the demo guy did and go out into the street and cause a major traffic accident. This is still in in surprisingly robust form. For instance if you get a mission where they want you to inconspicuously tail a guy and hack his phone while doing it, which is normally a ten minute thing while it transfers, you can just ram the guy off the road and walk up and ice him, then hack his phone to complete it. There are a few other ways to shortcut stuff like this I believe.
