I wonder if Dishonored 2 comes out before that. It seems it has been pushed back too.

When is february ever a big month? At least this way we'll be getting a big release every other month or so throughout the year.

Ravenfood posted:All takedowns make noise and don't render you invulnerable while you're doing them, but are energy-free. Lethal takedowns are faster than non-lethal. You can activate aug upgrades that do cost energy that make them silent or much much faster to minimize damage taken, with nonlethal versions costing more energy. I'd also switch the control input. Once you start a takedown, letting go of the button at any point makes you kill the person. You have to hold it for the entire duration to knock them out, so you can start choking someone, get caught, and abort the non-lethal takedown to avoid getting shot up. The transition from non-lethal to lethal takedown is pretty easy too: just have the blades whip out This.

I know this is the kind of question that people tell you to just "git gud" after you ask, but what is the best difficulty for playing Human Revolution? I've been trying to do it on hardest on my first playthrough but I've been getting killed over and over after getting found out. I was playing the original Deus Ex on medium and that was fine. Also, when I use the tranq rifle it alerts the other guards to my presence. If I start over, should I pick the stun gun for the Deus Ex legacy? Deus Ex's stun prod held a special place in my heart, even if it wasn't great. I got really good at zapping guard thighs.

I've been trying to do it on hardest on my first playthrough but I've been getting killed over and over after getting found out. I was playing the original Deus Ex on medium and that was fine. The stun gun is short range, but 100% effective at takedowns, no "sweet spot" targeting required. It's ridiculously powerful when you're hiding in cover. Tranq rifle can do takedowns, but yeah, it's generally best against lone guys and you need a headshot. Only advantage is range. It's tricky to do unseen takedowns against groups anyway--generally you need to wait until they're at an isolated point in their patrol route or you have two guys together for a dual-takedown or a gas grenade. Play at the diff you find fun. If you're getting killed repeatedly either figure out what you're doing wrong, or tone it down. You can absolutely ghost this game, but it takes patience.

I've been trying to do it on hardest on my first playthrough but I've been getting killed over and over after getting found out. I was playing the original Deus Ex on medium and that was fine. First playthrough? Do a stealth/nonlethal run on the easiest difficulty if you need to. Then for the second run you can do New Game + and go lethal with all your augs from the first playthrough. I'd still suggest taking the tranq rifle at the beginning partially because you don't find one as soon as you'll find the stungun (IIRC) and also if you're close enough to use the prod you might as well do a takedown. On top of that the tranq rifle is reasonably valuable if you just want to sell it regardless of how you're going to play.

Go default unless you're a gaming god. The stungun is a mixed bag; it's silent, a guaranteed takedown against non-bosses, and even stuns bosses a good while. However, it takes a while to load, and ammo isn't too plentiful.

I never found a situation where the stun gun was required vs a takedown due to its range (though it certainly can be used), and there's other easy ways to beat the first boss. The tranq rifle has a few really handy moments later in the game so it's worth keeping. Neither are necessary to ghost any area, but both come in handy if you're trying to do silly things like knock out every single person.

Gynovore posted:Go default unless you're a gaming god. I'd say that it's less being a gaming god and more a matter of approach. On "Give Me Deus Ex" you're basically made of tinfoil, so if you like going in loud, you're going to have a bad time, but a stealth approach is pretty much viable without much change from the easier difficulties. You still can take any approach you like on "Give Me Deus Ex", but some require obscene reflexes, several backup plans, and the right augs. That said, the bosses will make you curse no matter what difficulty you pick. They are not very well designed.

The second boss I chased around with augmented vision&speed and an auto-targeting SMG, she never launched a single attack. I was still mostly stealth specced. By the time the 3rd boss comes around, you've bought literally every aug in the game, so I just shot him. And then marveled at all the nooks and crannies afterwards.

The issue is that they don't match the general game at ALL. It's like Eidos subcontracted the fights, and didn't tell the company anything about the game. "Well... its in first person, so it's a shooter...?"

They subcontracted the character dialogue animations though, right? The ones for the Dialogue boss fights look great, but just normal talking animations look creepy and Jensen has squirrel teeth.

When I played through (non-lethal, ghost, hacking everything & exploring everywhere) by the end of the game I didn't quite upgrade everything, but I had enough for all but maybe a half-dozen or less of the total augs/upgrades. Even then, I had some unused points and skills unpicked because I just didn't need them. This was before the DC and New Game +, but aside from that I can totally see being able to upgrade almost everything on the first run and being able to play maxed-out fairly quickly on a second run.

At least 25% of the upgrades are complete poo poo, and another 25% are either weak or limited. It's quite easy easy to get enough Praxis for all the ones that don't suck.

Hacking is a good source of XP, but nevertheless, resist the urge to hack every single terminal you see just for the XP. If you do, you'll soon be ramming your head into the keyboard out of boredom.

You miss out on stuff if you don't hack every terminal though.

Hacking would be bearable if there were keyboard shortcuts on the PC besides space bar for a stop worm. The number of times I've tried to fortify but accidentally click stop or nuke in my haste is just so frustrating. Or are there shortcuts I never knew about? Learning from someone's Let's Pay that I could capture any one of the red server stacks and get all the reward nodes as well was a welcome surprise and a big time saver.

The Eidos devs are very smart. How do I know? Because they made "Aug lives matter" a slogan in their in-universe made up civil conflict and then claimed any similarity to IRL corollaries was pure coincidence. Then someone pointed it out on Twitter and the PR guy earnestly admonished him for spreading hate.

I really like that enabling the new augs requires disabling old ones, because there are at least a couple of really easy picks. Has more detail on that system been released? Is it weighted at all, I.E. you'd free more new aug space by giving up more powerful augs? Do you have to disable specific old augs for new ones? Or is it just a one-for-one swap where you can give up any given aug?

DX:IW let you swap out augs from the same type of body slot if you wanted. You'd lose any applied upgrades, but the game offered so many aug canisters and upgrades that it didn't matter too much how you'd chosen in the past.

I liked a lot of things about IW. There was a good game there, you just had to look past the consolization and boy band protagonist. The ending was just about perfect from a narrative / Hero's Journey standpoint.

You can see his cloning vat (or whatever those things were) in the last level of the original DX. So if you paid attention in the first game, his identity is really blatantly obvious.

Yes I know, but they should have just called the protagonist "Alex". That way it's still a hint if you paid attention in Area 51 without making it super obvious.
