The one dick move about the pistol is that you can't put a silencer on it. The silent pistol is a completely different gun.

Putting a point in Swimming is fine. It is a very cheap skill to raise.

Arivia posted:Also, one point you should keep in mind Minidust. Deus Ex is a very good, best of all time game - it's like Doom. And like Doom, you'll return to it every year or so as long as computers exist. But also like Doom, you only get to play it the first time once. Don't look at walkthroughs, don't worry about being optimal (although do keep a lot of saves) - just do what you want to do, and see where that takes you. Choice is a huge part of Deus Ex, and aiming to be perfect takes away from that. Just enjoy it. This, Deus Ex is a really cool open-world game with shooting but also problem solving and crime investigation and general loving around; for its time it felt like a much more real, living, breathing world than almost any other game out there. Its like Grand Theft Auto 4 before GTA4, this really alive feeling version of (90s-2000s lol) New York. (plus other places) Just wander around and do whats natural. Then you can play through the game later and find out about all the secrets you missed and all the cool augs you didn't use.

I guess I'll spoiler tag this in case you don't want the advice for the first stage I've got: When Paul offers you one of three guns, take the GEP Gun. You can procure both a sniper rifle and crossbow from the map itself, but the GEP Gun doesn't show up again for a while, so might as well get your "lockpick" now while you can. If you're playing non-lethally: stick with the PROD. PROD with the PROD. (Just in case though, you're police.) It's a pretty effective way of OHKOing enemies from behind, although you might need to do some save-scumming since those OHKOs from behind never seemed terribly reliable to me. It's a little more reliable if you attack juuuuust above the buttocks, around where the spinal cord would end. Electrify everyone's butts (or break out the baton when the PROD runs out of ammo) and you may not have to kill anyone. Lastly, this was probably just because I played using Shifter, but one of the NSF goons might have an augment upgrade canister on them, so I dunno, loot everyone, see if whatever mods you have (or don't have) installed slapped on on one of them randomly too - because getting your augments upgraded ASAP makes the game a smoother ride. And don't pick swimming, 'caaaaause iiiit's faiiiiirlyyyyy uuuuseleeessss~♪

As a new player I'd recommend putting at least one point into swimming. The speed difference is major. You're going to want to explore, and it's not advisable for tourists to wander the canals at slow speeds.

Especially since you might accidentally upgrade the regular one, only to immediately be given the silent pistol as a mission reward, which completely replaces it. Also, for the love of all that's holy, get the fast-run/high-jump leg mod, not the move silent one. With fast run, you can also fast-crouch, which gives you the exact same silent movement (and at a higher speed once upgraded) and better running and jumping when stealth isn't a necessity.

I only played a tiny bit of Neocron. I was more interested in Everquest at the time, ran around and got lost in Neocron and gave up on it pretty quick. I actually downloaded it like last year to go poke around for historical purposes, but it was a wasteland. What was that one team-based FPS mod where you had to go into computer-space (like TRON) to hack computers, while meanwhile other people were running around in real-space shooting each other, so you'd have to like defend somebody while he hacked a terminal? That was a really original idea. The only thing I can think of is neotokyo but I don't think that was it.

Beware, everyone who plays is really loving good. The one thing I always loved about Dystopia is the "bloop" sound that happens when you hit someone. E: We should do a HL1 and 2 mod night again. Like, this week.

S&I also has an active pugging scene, on that note. Also, Neotokyo is garbage, which is a shame because it's pretty. Really wish people would bring back Frontline Force and that FLF: Source had gone places. I also wish Firearms Source were actually finished and that Plan of Attack hadn't been stillborn. Also, I miss The Hidden. e; gently caress, what was the HL1 mod that had crazy poo poo like plasma cannons and stuff alongside more mundane guns like akimbo MP5s? I think it let you wallrun/jump too. It wasn't Action Half-Life/The Specialists/The Opera, it was something else entirely.

Zaphod42 posted:Oh god this sentence hurts me physically. There are three Heavy Weapons in the game; you can get the GEP gun immediately (though if you don't choose it you have to wait until the third mission or so to get one off an NSF soldier in the airport), you can get the Flamethrower during the second mission from a guard in Castle Clinton, and the Plasma Rifle comes a bit before the half way mark It's in a locked case in the armoury during the escape from UNATCO. In any case if you miss them it will be a while until you find one laying around in the open. Edit: You can actually do the game without hacking; I did a no-hacking run where I only used codes or passwords that I discovered prior in that playthrough and there's a real bastardly hidden login that you need to beat the game that you won't even have to think about if you have hacking: In the ocean lab, the login for lowering the bridge to the UC control computer and to log in to that computer is hidden in a datacube in the electrified pool below a drowned MIB corpse. But if you're a newbie just take hacking so you don't have to deal with that kind of stuff BattleMaster fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Sep 16, 2015 |

While I really liked both Deus Ex and DX:HR, I never seem to get around to replaying them. Part of it is that I play every open game like this exactly the same way - I become a walking armory. DX1 was the worst example of this. For some of the last levels, I was lugging around drat near every gun in the game. What's that, you say? Your inventory won't hold all of them? You are correct - I would actually progress a bit in a level, dump some gear in a pile, run back to the last pile I abandoned and pick those up, charge forward some more in the level, repeat, etc. Maybe this only happened in one level since you lose the ones on the ground, but I definitely had all the big inventory-hogging guns in the game plus an unhealthy amount of the smaller ones. You never know when you're gonna need that shotgun with max ammo!!!!!
