I think the only enemies I've actually killed are Dvali, the guys in Dubai when I got made, some ARC (also when I got made), and some of the Aug Church members (also also when I got made). I got through GARM cleanly in stealth, loading a save only once when I tried to shoot one of the gold masks with my silenced pistol in the head and learning it was armored. Before he hit the super armor.

Welp, I found my reason to go all out with the infiltration of Dvali territory. I just decided to go all weapons free and Jensen'd all over them. Shooting in MD feels really good and I might do that more often.

It's got that Dishonored problem where the combat is cool & fun but the game kinda doesn't want you to do it and most people don't.

At least the non-lethal takedowns and taser are pretty fun. Dunking on ZYR’s penthouse security never gets old even if I’m not pressing many buttons. It would make a good Batman: Arkham arena.

I appreciate that MD gives you more opportunities to do the double takedown. It's so satisfying.

This person takes quicksaving until you get the fight just the way you wanted so far to the extreme that it comes out the other side and turns into art & spectacle & satisfaction instead of frustration.

Mankind Divided beaten, best ending. Crafty Eidos people, making me think there was a binary choice. I went straight for Marchenko first, and after banging my head against that fight a few times (more on that in a sec) I reloaded to save the VIPs - it took most of my AP ammo, but imagine my surprise when the Marchenko fight intro after that was the exact same. Jammer used, GG no re. The Marchenko fight was grade A bullcrap. Let's have a guy with a laser cannon and super armor and make the arena filled with booby traps, turrets AND flying drones that you can't take down easily without AP ammo! I'm glad I stockpiled all that ammo because I blew through the majority of it by the end. I also was able to grab the Titan aug beforehand, so that helped considerably. Did they learn nothing from how the boss fights in Human Revolution were done and received before the Director's Cut? Because I think that was an artificial difficulty spike. The Jensen Stories are just little self-contained scenarios, right? It'll be a while before I get back to this game.

As mentioned a lot, the DLC to MD is pretty good and the Prison level is nice and huge. Definitely try to do a second run through without augs, it turns the game into basically a Thief level.

can i play this video game on my "steam deck". i want to experience the old "imsims" but i'm a bed gamer i know the answer is usually "yes just rebind all the keys" but i'm asking because 1) it's an old game and 2) a lot of pc games just feel awful to play on the deck even with rebinding because they require a lot of clicking things. but maybe some of y'all have experience getting this to run on the deck

I played through both, and PC version with keyboard and mouse is definitely better. But the PS2 version is playable, it's still Deus Ex. And it condenses the controls into something usable on a game controller. Basically, unless there's a mod out there for the PC version to improve quality of life with the steam controller, I'd try the PS2 version as a starting point.

Stuff like keypads are great for the touchscreen too. Great battery life is a plus. I created a virtual menu for all the augs and everything, which made it super comfy. Use the Kentie launcher like you would normally.

Your Computer posted:maybe i'll give it a shot! it's good to hear that the game works at least. i have some problems with both virtual menus (bugs out all the time) and touchscreen (it seems weirdly inaccurate? like there's some offset on it) but if you played through the whole game on the deck then that's a pretty good endorsement for it working! I just reinstalled to check: The UI and text is small, and enlarging it via the Kentie launcher settings to 2x will cut off the top and the bottom of some screens due to the screen aspect ratio. The touchscreen works great, but only with Kentie's exe. I never had trouble hitting buttons using it even though the buttons are small. But it's not necessary at all, just a nice to have feature. Trackpads are a breeze and every button on the interface has a alt+hotkey combo you can bind however you'd like. It really only depends how well you set up the controls for yourself.

To the special people involved in making GMDX, the ones who added empty cardboard crates everywhere and locked the HARDCORE mode behind finishing a playthrough: go gently caress yourselves, there is such a thing as going too far. everything else is P.great.

Yes, in fact; I got the Steam achievements for several of Revision's Challenges by editing the INI to show them as complete, like the one where you have to disable all the UCs and grey-matter reactors in Area 51 Sector 4 in like three minutes on Realistic, and then doing the ones that weren't bullshit No, in principle; I got Dead in 24 Hours legitimately. I'll probably never stop bitching about the map design, either.

Terminator: Resistance was too, its kinda funny that Teyon went from making budget mobile games, to a really bad and simplistic Rambo rail shooter, then went straight to oddly ambitious quasi-immersive sims.

Mission hubs with all sorts of little side quests, walk around the area, talk to people, investigate clues, very cyberpunk looking. RPG elements with upgrade points for various skill trees. It’s even set in Detroit!
