Fun thing that happened last night while facing back-to-back invasions was I got the "Don't Mind Me" achievement. The description reads "While using Aether as Colt, kill 3 enemies without alerting nearby enemies." However, I have never gotten that one on any run yet. I don't remember what the invading Juliana was using, it was one of my more panicky fights.

I would enjoy a hard difficulty in this game, I think: No silenced weapon modifiers, so if you want a stealth gun, the nailgun is it. Silenced LIMP with even a couple good slotted rather invalidates Nexus's entire thing. Julianna will invade at any time or place. Multiple invasions in a map if you dawdle. Some kind of limit on manifesting gear. Like... every loadout piece costs some residium, or some other daily budget. Using the same items multiple times increases the use cost, resets with the loop. Blue guns would have a role of being cheap gear that doesn't jam. (Did anyone even encounter the jamming mechanic?) Strategize when and where to bring your strong trinkets/powers in a day. More enemy/turret randomization. I've seen these setpiece convos a dozen times, mix up the enemy patrols and surprise me. Or just remove hackable turrets altogether, they 100% are more a tool for me to use than a deterrent. Or put some limit on the hackamajig. Limited uses, or very slow recharge. Or just break hacks if you break LOS. No random purple trinkets, hide best gear guaranteed drops behind doing specific side activities. Pact of Smoke, all of Charlie's side games, Pick Reksy, Amador, etc etc. Or the whole side area for the Verso. Or even for killing Visionaries in specific ways. Doing these things and getting trash because some random Eternalists dropped one earlier is disheartening.

So I dropped those off, tried it and immediately the achievement popped - weird thing since as far as I know no other achievements required an unupgraded slab to achieve, and maybe they patched it out since, but it might be that you just happened to have Aether equipped this time with no upgrades active?

I actually had an invading Juliana pop that trophy for me as she killed me while cloaked  They've since patched that bug out.

I think my favorite trinket combo so far gives you super speed, lets you run silently, extra melee strength, and heals you on melee kills. No guns needed and you can just run naked through even the hardest areas and have no issue as long as you keep knifing dudes fast enough.

I finished the main story. I had fun but I didn’t love it. Blink, nexus, explosive rifle just killed all the guys. I want Spy’s vs Mercs for multiplayer, offensive gets powers, defense gets guns.

Yeah I played Prey 3 times and Dishonored 1+2 at least that many times and I got bored with Deathloop and quit about 25 hours in, feeling totally uninterested in beating it or doing the same boring tasks over and over again. If you're not a huge Prey fan and you just want a decent FPS it's fine and worth playing.

Ran it on an i5 4570 with a GTX1060 with mostly steady 60fps via the game's adaptive downscaling. Worked like a charm and looked acceptable. Big thing for this game seems to be actually video memory, less than 6gb might be a problem because the game gets crashy if it runs out. According to digital foundry the stuttering issues were not a low performance/optimization issue but an input glitch that occurred above 60fps. I definitely did not experience them.

I dunno how you guys are getting to 25 hours with no urge to see more unless you're spending a lot of time invading other people. I feel like I saw almost everything there was to see, or at least that I cared to see, and I'm just hitting the 20 hour mark after having beaten the game.

I have roughly 30+ hours clocked in and will get probably another 10ish, because I intend to get Julianna to max level and probably speedrun another playthrough with Cole, to get some matches from the other side. IMHO Deathloop absolutely stands or falls based on how much you like its multiplayer. If it's not your thing the game is good, but not great and quickly runs out of steam, content-wise. If you like its PvP, the game is fantastic and will easily last you twice as long as it would if you just played for its singleplayer aspect.

I played it for 72 hours for a "single" playthrough (with maybe a couple hours where I hosed about a little as an invading Julianna), there is a ton of exploration to do and a lot of fun to be had trying out different combinations not only of powers and gear but different locations at different times of day and how those things affect other times/locations. I've stunned how long into my playthrough I got before Julianna ran out of new things to bother Colt with at the start of missions. Probably the last 10-15 hours were spent trying to get the last remaining achievements I wanted - Ghost at the Feast and Quantum Solution took a lot of doing - but even so I got more than my money's worth out of a full price purchase, so a discount deal is a bargain.

I think that's a great point; I found the PvP clunky but I was playing on PS5 and I vastly prefer to play competitive gamemodes on PC, so I did about the bare minimum of that mode to get the trophies done and experience it. I've considered picking the game up when it's cheap on PC and then hamming it up on the multiplayer.

I got 32 hours out of it from singleplayer. I can see how it took much less time for many as a lot of my time spent slowly combing through the levels on my first loops wasn't quite as rewarding as in dishonored 2 and prey (the levels definitely feel more designed to facilitate speedrunning options and ways of reaching the targets than being full of meaningful loot compared to those games), and it's easy enough that many of the sidequests are very superfluous so if you just stick to the main quest markers you won't exactly hit much friction. but I do think people who just stuck with the silent limp for the whole game and never really explored the variety of fun options the game offers badly missed out. I've mentioned it several times already but the "sprint into people and never shoot a gun" build was legitimately more fun than I've had in any other "FPS" in a long time, and my only regret is not trying it sooner. difficulty options would have added a lot to incentivize you to explore more optional stuff to get more powerful and I guess they didn't do it because of how it might disrupt online invasions, but I only ever wanted to play singleplayer so their absence didn't feel very justified. the balance of trinkets also made quests to get them feel pretty pointless because at high loop stress some eternalists can literally drop 8 purples at a time.

I hope we get a new game+/roguelike mode in a future update like they did with prey. More randomization would be fantastic for a replay even though the base game is clearly designed with a majora’s mask approach rather than a roguelike

In the video settings, have you made sure you are not going over your video memory limit? I found that caused consistent crashes for me. I also ran the game in administrator mode on common suggestions, though I never fully tested if that actually mattered.

Played 7 hours so far, never got a crash due to going over the memory limit. All it seems to do is cause textures to be streamed in closer to the camera. I did however get a crash when I enabled V-Sync, so you could maybe try disabling that if it's on.

I did get the game, and it worked well for me. Though I would still get some stutter that would show up and persist for the rest of the level. Not sure what caused that, because it wasn't consistent. I think the Digital Foundry guys mentioned that on some video about Deathloop when the patch was still in beta. Oh well, at least it wasn't always happening. Game good. Thanks, Arkane! Is there some way to find codes to the Gideon delivery things without completing the spy quest? The spy quest felt like it was an alternative way to finish a whole bunch of other side quest chains, like the code to the classpass system at Franks. I never found any breadcrumbs for Gideon, though.
