accidentally found that one out.

felt like rear end with him bleeding out on the floor there. i even made a groan on the webcam.

also how do i stealth? at that point the xbox controller refused to acknowledge (or maybe i just was mashing the wrong < button) to enlighten me the ways of sneaking. i've been just grabbing a box and being ghetto snake and carrying it with me crouched.

i just started playing twilight princess last week so of course they announce a remake. but i'm playing the gamecube version and the new one will probably have the motion stuff. it'll probably also be a mirror image of the gc version so playing it would slowly drive me insane.

Stealth in dx:hr is just not being seen or heard. Running makes more noise, crouching makes none. Enemies turn yellow when suspicious, red when they're coming to wreck your poo poo. Good augs for stealthing include the radar range upgrade and the thing that lets you see enemies fields of vision. There's also run silent and actual cloaking for serious silliness.

yeah probably
theres an ability that lets you cloak and turn invisible for a short time, and one for quieter footsteps, stuff like that

but idk the basics of any stealth game is hiding behind cover

its the challenge really, adds just another dimension to the entire thing.

also forces you to think creatively when you're not very fatal. knocking someone out without aggroing an entire angry mob and dragging that body out of sight. versus pulling out a gun and blowing them away in a couple of shots.

i thought it was lame when i heard it too but then i did it, and it got cool.

thanks for the heads up on the tutorial.

Going lethal in Human Revolution starts out difficult and then rapidly becomes a joke as you upgrade your guns. A maxed out revolver with exploding rounds loving annihilates everything.

There's a rubber bullet assault rifle you can get pretty quickly, but if you want a silencer in the early game you need the riot smg.

Just don't full-auto with the silencer on, as it'll last approx 0.1 seconds.

In act 2, when people start showing up in riot gear what's people's preferred way for dealing with it (other than blowing up the warehouses)? A dart to the thigh works, but if one spots me and I have my WU out then I generally just reload if I can't sprint to them in time.

E: poo poo, I read "rifle" and thought that you were talking about the tranq sniper. The rest of my comment still stands though

the famicom version of the zapper was literally called gun and was a realistic looking toy revolver with a light sensor

lol konami made lightguns for the snes/genesis that were called justifiers (wtf lol) and you could plug the second gun into the first one via RJ-11

i haven't actually used it yet, but just holding it is kind of awkward. the face buttons seem a bit too close to the center to really be used comfortably.the flappy buttons on the back are an interesting addition that seem like they could be useful though

if you're not afraid of a small possibility of fire, you could fix it yourself pretty easily

if NX is using the same architecture as the Wii U, and the Wii, and the loving Gamecube it's dead in the water

both because developers won't want to gently caress with it and because I'm pretty sure that's still 32-bit so say goodbye to the 8gb of RAM from the other consoles

non-leathlty, the stun shotgun is pretty good. its a level 2? branch on the shotgun tree. you can also develop the lethal shotgun to 3 or something to unlock the sliencer, which you can customize the non-lethal version with. other options include flash bangs + cqc/stunarm or d-walker with the arc gun thingy

there are 2 stun shotguns, and the s1000 is the better of the 2

there's 4 versions, grade 3, 4, 5, and 7

7 has a suppressor, though you should be able to sneak one in on the grade 4 iirc
