bethesda posted:A perfect example of this humor can be found in a lowly device called the Reployer. Designed by an artist at Arkane, the Reployer started appearing on desks and in offices throughout Talos I – but no one could tell anyone what exactly it did. Was it a printer? A space-age fax machine? A photocopier? Again and again in team meetings, someone would inevitably ask about it, and no one would have an answer.

Gadzuko posted:On the other hand this is my favorite background plot in the game, because the end result is that the engineer tells the woman to meet him in the only functional pod in the event of a disaster, and she does. You can either fix the hatch and free them, or fire the pod without fixing it and kill them. If you kill them, you can find their corpses and it turns out he brought wine and she brought a goddamn stun gun. That got a good laugh out of me. That's amazing, these devs think of everything.

Psycho-shock is so incredibly broken. Even Nightmares can't do poo poo to you after you hit them with it.

So while you're in the Life Support area, you can drop by into Atmosphere Control and repair some fans and then purify the air. Nobody comments on this and there's no reward, so apparently I just did some video game chores for no reason. Did I miss a quest by doing it too early?

Best way to Shotgun is to get all the mobility & stealth related psychomods and chipsets you can have, and do incredibly speedy point-blank shotgun sneak attacks on everything. It is incredibly satisfying swooping on an enemy from above, and chunking most of their health in one shot. Attestant fucked around with this message at 09:00 on May 17, 2017 |

I did the same thing because it seemed like the right thing to do without thinking any deeper about it. I wonder if you can toss in a bunch of heavy equipment like rack mounted computer tapes and jam all the fans  ^ Yesss

If you want to capture Dahl alive he eventually tries to ambush you there. Just activate the process and he will faint in about 10 seconds.

Oh haha, I had already done the oxygen thing there too, so when I went back to save the people in the cargo bay I sprinted up to the control room and Dahl was there with his back to me so I just shot him with the stun gun, that's how I got him. I love how versatile this game is to different playstyles and paths, they really have thought of everything.

I got an achievement for reading all the emails but I clearly have several areas left to finish and have even come across terminals with unread emails on them already. Bizzare. Game is incredibly good and gives me far more Deus Ex vibes than the new games in that series ever did. I've not invested in any psi powers at all: Level 3 combat focus, super jump, shotgun and pistol (with the occasional grenade to knock out shields) has carried me through the entire game. Bursting into a room in slow motion, leaping into the air firing blast after blast at enemies, then sliding around bashing mimics with a wrench is loving legit. I don't think the environments are all that interesting (With the exception of the Arboretum) and I'm not the biggest fan of the enemies. I know it's trite, but I kind of wish I was facing some System Shock style meaties instead, but what we have gets the job done enough. I've gone from being terrified of mimics to thinking they're adorable. Looking Glass scenes and features will never stop blowing my mind, even if they're old tech that's been done by loads of games now - they're incredibly convincing in this game.

Question. What's the point of using GLOO in combat when you can sneak attack anything with a shotgun before it even gets the chance to react? I haven't used GLOO in combat since I got the shotgun real early in the Lobby, which incidentally, I managed to find before I found my very first pistol.

I have both PS4 and PC versions, don't ask me why, but the difference between the 2 is so pronounced that I can't really play in PS4 after the smooth experience in PC. Are they going to release a PS4 Pro mode? because from what I can tell, the PS4 version is not optimized for Pro.

Jack Trades posted:Question. What's the point of using GLOO in combat when you can sneak attack anything with a shotgun before it even gets the chance to react? Shooting a corrupted operator with two globs of it will freeze them and make them fall to the ground, where you can run over an hack them if you have hacking level 3 or 4 for the late-game military operators. That was my main use for it and seems like the most efficient way of dealing with them, but there's also some fun gimmick kills you can get. In the reactor room towards the end of the game two technopaths will spawn and start attacking you. If you get them to float to the top of the room you can toss a nullwave grenade and then cover them in gloo. The ability they use to blast the gloo off themselves is blocked, so they'll plummet to the bottom and die instantly from fall damage.

Yeah even at level 1 Combat Focus is ridiculously good. EDIT: So there was a weapon cut from the game(a disc rifle) that had an AI in it and actually talked to you. It eventually starts questioning it's own existence and realizes it hates violence, so it starts asking to be recycled. You can either do that or turn it into a Medical Operator(which gets you a one-time boost). Here's the full dialog along with the model. Only very minor spoilers.
