[QUOTE=DDoSCat;36508559]Which boss are you on? The first, second, or third? I was pretty much how you described, I normally tried to sneak around. Dedicated all my PPs into Hacking iirc.[/QUOTE] I just got through the third and it was a bitch because [sp]I got the chip and all my shit was messed up[/sp]. But I got through after many quicksaves

[QUOTE=Rammaster;36509603]I just got through the third and it was a bitch because [sp]I got the chip and all my shit was messed up[/sp]. But I got through after many quicksaves[/QUOTE] Ah. Well if you had the hack turrets augment and heavy lifting (who honestly doesn't have that) you couldve brought the [sp]turret down, and baited Jaron into the turret, then made him uncloak to where the sentry starts unloading into him. Takes him down quickly. [/sp]

Once you get the Typhoon, the boss fights are easy as piss. The third one, I just used the laser rifle since it shoots through walls. Just took potshots at him to bring down his health until I could nail him with the typhoon.

there's like no point at all in investing in more power cells. why the fuck did they make it so only one power cell regenerated.

It's not [I]pointless,[/I] it's just much less useful than you think it'd be. :v:

Ah yes, the boss fights. I was actually thinking how to make them more like they were in the first game. Unfortunately, I so far only figured out the first one. For Barrett somewhere before the fight you would actually learn that he ordered his men to take out Dutchman in Hengsha (maybe even learning Belltower is behind it). Either from overhearing a conversation, radio or hacking a computer (something so every player acquires this info). The defeated Barrett would then confirm this information and gave you the exact location (the hotel). Now for the fight itself. The first option is quite simple, throw a flashbang and go right for the elevator. The second option is to kill him with weapons, typhoon or the barrels, the animation then plays out like in the original game. The third, non-lethal, option would either be stunning the shit out of him or now there would be a crane in arena holding a big crate. You would need to get him under it, stun him and drop it on him. This way Barrett is knocked out so he can't spill the beans but also stays alive. If he stayed alive you would then had to fight/avoid him in the Alice Pod Gardens and then in the Belltower Port (or make him the boss in the Tai Yong Medical hangar - here you would be forced to kill him either by reprogramming the robots, your own weapons or knock him out with shitload of stun darts) thus removing/delaying the introduction of [URL="http://deusex.wikia.com/wiki/Narhari_Kahn"]Narhari Kahn[/URL]. EDIT: If you knocked him out in the first fight, you would need to search for more clues in Hengsha, no objective marker from the start. In the hangar, they could add some EMP security protocol than once activated fries everything in the hangar, thus destroying the robots and either killing or knocking out Barrett.

[QUOTE=FoodStuffs;36511682]there's like no point at all in investing in more power cells. why the fuck did they make it so only one power cell regenerated.[/QUOTE] Fuck :saddowns: Maxed them out (because I thought it would regenerate a percentage, not only one block)

[QUOTE=Rammaster;36508458]The bosses in this game makes me want to break my PC. It's so hard especially if you've been playing as a stealthy character with 0 health.[/QUOTE] Frag mines make them laughable affairs, no matter what build your character is.

there are precautions you can take for pretty much every boss fight to make it extremely easier. like [sp] with rhianna in the server room if you have the anti emp aug you'll have an easy time. if you don't update your firmware when the glitch happens they wont be able to shut off your augs during the boss fight[/sp]

I wish they would make it more obvious Hidden ebooks holding the information about bosses, news articles about [sp]The new chip failing for some people[/sp] would make the game much more immersive and would be really helpful

i actually think it's pretty cool the first time around if you don't cheat and look ahead and just make decisions based on your own judgement. so when they try to pull some shit on you and you either came prepared or not it creates a unique experience. [sp]i swear i didn't update my chip out of sure laziness, like i was just about to get on the tram or something and could have made a detour but i was like fuck it what's the worst that can happen if i'm still allowed to continue without it.[/sp]

Do you still randomly get the glitches every once in awhile or do they happen even more?[/sp]

[QUOTE=DDoSCat;36526616]What even really happens if you don't [sp]upgrade the chip before the boss fight? Do you still randomly get the glitches every once in awhile or do they happen even more?[/sp][/QUOTE] Nothing happens if you [sp]don't get the chip[/sp].

I thought it was fishy as fuck so I didn't get it.

Do you still randomly get the glitches every once in awhile or do they happen even more?[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]That one bitch, I forget her name, smugly presses the switch - as Jensen just sorta looks around for a few seconds before returning the smug back and making her freak out. You also don't get affected in the boss fight as such. I think it affects the following cutscene, too, where Megan doesn't have to switch out Jensen's chip due to not having one of the freakout ones.[/sp] Beyond that, nothing else occurs due to not going with it.

[QUOTE=myalt22;36528500]I thought it was fishy as fuck so I didn't get it.[/QUOTE] I just plain forgot to stop by a LIMB clinic.

Just completed The Missing Link and it was excellent I forgot to check out [sp]The Equipment Quinn leaves for you at the end and didn't finish quinns rocket launcher sidequest[/sp], did I miss out on anything interesting?

[QUOTE=Seiteki;36541474]I just plain forgot to stop by a LIMB clinic.[/QUOTE] That too. I never had need for more Praxis Kits, ever.

I struggled so bad with the boss fights on my first playthrough ages ago. Played it again this time and just blitzed them. Stocked up rockets and a rocket launcher for Barrett. Yelena was a bit more of a problem, but I had the EMP shielding thing so it was basically just because I suck at avoiding her. Jaron was the easiest boss of them all though, I had a grenade launcher at the time so I literally just bombarded him with 4-5 grenades from the start and he didn't even have a chance to move.

Ok since I finished the missing link the only deus ex game I haven't played is the invisible war Wish me luck

Hey, I posted this in the General Ingame Media thread before I realized there was a Deus Ex thread, this is just something I'm surprised I managed to pull off at TYM. [IMG_THUMB]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/920107886183852028/A35C3D98B127CF9B6C71237D0826FEC9500EF452/[/IMG_THUMB] (Ignore the boxes with the black/yellow tape, this was an after picture) Okay, so, I had a problem. I hadn't invested the Praxis Kits in to the augmentation that would allow me to fall down this pit safely, but I REALLY wanted that loot down there. My solution? [IMG_THUMB]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/920107886183839565/F3B49E6D55AFDCC93A21AB08AEF039D56232FFFA/[/IMG_THUMB] 1. Go back quite a ways to grab boxes from here [IMG_THUMB]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/920107886183841597/5C0FF881D4DBCCACD1C62DF727EB89E39B548801/[/IMG_THUMB] 2. Throw them up here, and then climb up myself [IMG_THUMB]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/920107886183843360/0C873B70517B292DDFE9E42F52C1343CFC46FEAD/[/IMG_THUMB] 3. Throw them up the ladder, as seen in step 2 [IMG_THUMB]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/920107886183845441/80F9FEFA1883FCC2E72BF880951F04273728B601/[/IMG_THUMB] 4. Bring them over to the vent, shove the boxes in on their side, and guide them around the bend [IMG_THUMB]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/920107886183849265/772110DB28F3FA73EA981E5CB7F269F7F50162B0/[/IMG_THUMB] 5. Drop the boxes from here in to a stack, so I can land on them safely and retrieve the loot.

Drop down safely, then admire my precarious stack of (two not pictured) five boxes, contemplate value of all that work [IMG_THUMB]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/920107886183856408/FB88851C4489AAC02D84589A4EFE57D5F286723C/[/IMG_THUMB] 7. Retrieve loot, rejoice. Problem status: Solved, I don't need that stinking aug anyways. It only took me half an hour. Things like this are the reason I don't usually play games at two in the morning, I get tired and get dumb ideas.

Apparently there [URL="http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?t=123385"]is a mod[/URL] allowing the regeneration of [I]all[/I] cells I wish I would have seen this on my first playthrough

Got up to the first boss fight, as soon as the cutscene ends my keyboard stops working and I can't do anything, die reload my save keyboard works again, breaks again after the cutscene. Everytime I sit down to play this game it does something to drive me away.

Just wait until she charges you and use it, then shoot her while she's stunned.

Ok so I played invisible war I was thinking that all those complaints about bad hud, tiny maps and non existent AI were nothing but an exaggeration from butthurt dx1 fans Oh boy I was wrong The hud is awful. I never thought that it is even possible to mess up a HUD that badly. It's ugly, non informative and takes A LOT of space. It requires around 5 keypresses to switch a weapon The maps are tiny, and I don't mean like a counter-strike map tiny nononono they are usually about 1 corridor long. One corridor in a game which is supposed to be very open The ai is bad too. First "real" enemies I saw were bumping in a wall while shouting "Where is he" not even noticing that my drone is shooting at them for past 30 or so seconds Overall it seems like an ok game, but oh boy it's such a horrible console port. First of all, I had to kill a few processes running (chrome.exe would be an example of one) for the game to actually work. Another annoying thing is that every loading screen (and you see those often) minimizes the game

I don't remember much about it, to be honest. I tended to stealth around and avoid confrontation. All in all, you're right about all this, but the game still isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be.

I have an urge to replay Deus Ex 1. Do I need any mods to get it to run in 1080p on windows 7?

I haven't even played deus ex HR, is it truly worth the money?

[QUOTE=Laferio;36545031]I haven't even played deus ex HR, is it truly worth the money?[/QUOTE] Yes.

[QUOTE=Laferio;36545031]I haven't even played deus ex HR, is it truly worth the money?[/QUOTE] yep you can basically play anyway you want go guns blazing, use stealth, beat up everyone if you want
