Icarus Effect worth reading?[/QUOTE]
You're probably just playing it combat-style. That's the easiest way to play it, so of course it's gonna seem easy.

It's like Hitman Blood: Money. You can beat that game in 20 minutes if you just run and gun.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;30181487]Oh I've had [i]lots[/i] of fun in apartment buildings.

Also it's fucking frustrating when you're down to one energy block and all your nonlethal guns are out of ammo, so you can only cloak for five seconds (don't have candy bars) and use a nonlethal takedown on one guy every two minutes. There isn't enough tranq ammo but every gangbanger has a 10mm pistol, fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff[/QUOTE]

I don't invest too much into hacking because there usually is another way around ;)

Intel e7200 2.53ghz, 4GB DDR2 RAM, GTX 460 1GB. Mid-range, I'd say.

[QUOTE=ZakKa!;30181833]I don't invest too much into hacking because there usually is another way around ;)[/QUOTE]

But I enjoy hacking, it's very fun. The autohack grenade things are only useful when it's a target above my level, and while sneaking is fun, hacking costs nothing (unlike DE1 where you lose valuable multitools) so I get to explore every nook and cranny.

[editline]1st June 2011[/editline]

Is it just me or does everyone's head seem a tad too small?

[Take_Opal]

Anyone else find the mouse and keyboard controls delayed? I cannot aim for shit because of it and it is absolutely unplayable as a result.

[editline]1st June 2011[/editline]

Also, how do you turn of DX11?

[Zezibesh]

Yeah there's something wrong with the aiming, might be mouse acceleration or smoothing, or maybe uneven x & y sensitivity levels. Not sure.
One of the reasons I'm doing a nonlethal run.

[Take_Opal]

I can't see how anyone can get past this though. I tried it with my 360 controller too and it's just as bad.

[Zezibesh]

It wasn't gamebreaking for me, might be a unique (or at least fairly rare) issue.

[Take_Opal]

Anyway, is there a way to disable DX11?

[Zezibesh]

[QUOTE=MasterG;30182604]In Adam's apartment on his computer is [sp]an e-mail from his tenant about a broken mirror which he is unsure how it got broken. From the sounds of things, Adam punched the mirror and broke it, and now desperately needs one. He's having a sort of "GET ME A MIRROR" moment, like the Joker in Batman. Poor guy.[/sp][/quote]

He has done it a bunch of times, apparently

[QUOTE=MasterG;30182604]Oh man, Adam's [sp]dog got put down whilst he was in hospital. That's harsh[/sp][/quote]

That was rather sad, yes

[QUOTE=MasterG;30182604]Just spent about 20 minutes looking 'round Adam's apartment. The amount of little details is staggering.[/QUOTE]

I disagree. Also the light effects coming from the windows look like shit

[editline]1st June 2011[/editline]

Currently finding out of throwing a fridge at someone kills them
If not, success! Another nonlethal option for those times (every single moment) when you're lacking in ammo for nonlethal weapons (there isn't any ammo for nonlethal weapons).

If it kills them, fuck.

[Beafman]

Okay, at least it helped me not to purchase this game. Don't get me wrong, the story seems interesting, although slow to start, but it's more the general theme that is really interesting. Graphics in the screenshots are jagged, but not in-game. Performance is good, running all on high 1650x1050 with AA and I am guessing it won't be a real power hungry setup you will need for the game. Textures are very good, however animations are... not good to say the least. Not lip sync, but just general animations for walking and such.

To all the fans of the first, it plays almost the same as the first one. inventory and stuff like that. And that is essentially what doesn't fit for me, at least. I played the first level of the original (yeah call me a loser or what not) but I really didn't like how it played. While certainly they give you a lot of choices, I do not see it spill out in the rest of game, as some chain of interlinked decisions. I think The Witcher 2 did a greater job at that.

You can rate me boxes, but I'm just saying the game wasn't for me.

[Shotacon]

Is the leak the entire game or just a chunk of it? I heard it's a whopping 12 hours long.

[Zezibesh]

[QUOTE=MasterG;30183273]I'm not having a hard time finding ammo at all, I always have enough. But then again, I'm used to playing stealth games as a ghost and not touching anyone. I've only killed/knocked out a few people, they were all required to be at least knocked out by the objective, and the other person is [sp]megan's mum[/sp]

I don't think i've even fired a gun apart from in the intro.[/QUOTE]

Do you use lethal or nonlethal guns? There's fucking zero nonlethal ammo in the game
Just bought FIVE ROUNDS of some gang dude and this will probably have to last for a couple levels

[H4wkeye]

[QUOTE=Shotacon;30183282]Is the leak the entire game or just a chunk of it? I heard it's a whopping 12 hours long.[/QUOTE]

Just a chunk. I heard it's about ~30% of the game.

[redBadger]

Fuck you guys who downloaded the leak.

[editline]1st June 2011[/editline]

I had to avoid the Crysis thread and now I have to avoid this for a few months. You guys have no hearts. Fuck off.

I don't know if I should try the leak out or to just wait until the full released game. [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c29/kalamari13/emot-qq.gif[/IMG]

3 months is a long time, and I've been dying for a good sci-fi'ish RPG or Shooter recently. But I'd feel dirty and ashamed, I hate spoilers with a passion. But it's so tempting!

The gold and brown filter is only during cut scenes, gameplay has no filter.

Thank god.

[cecilbdemodded]

AMD Athlon II X3 445
4gb DD3 1333
AMD 5450 512mb DDR3

With DX11 on, no AA, trilinear filtering, post processing on, shadows normal, tessellation on, vsync and triplebuffer off I get:
@1280x1024 10fps
@1024x768 15fps
turning off post processing didn't improve framerate in this test
turn shadows off gets me to 17fps
tessellation off too gets me up to 20fps
DX11 off bumps framerate to 22 fps

This is standing in that first room, looking at the girl by the door. I post this for other low end graphic card people to get an idea of what to expect if they're going to try it out.

[LeninStalin]

With these specs I run it maxed with DX11 at about 60 FPS, the lowest was 40 fps:

[QUOTE=MasterG;30185587]Not enjoying having a total stealth character and being forced into a fucking traditional boss fight with no smart way to sabotage it beforehand or sneak off in the middle of it, no no no, I just have to get out my only lethal weapon (Because apparently non-lethal weapons don't work) which is a pistol and fucking fight this boss off the old school way with no armour or weapon upgrades. Fun.

[editline]1st June 2011[/editline]

Finished out. The only person I killed was [sp] Barret because you are forced to kill him via the cutscene no matter what[/sp]

Now i'm gonna replay it as what I like to call "SURPRISE DEATH" where I sort of sneak in a little bit, and then unleash all hell.[/QUOTE]

So to sum it up - Stealth sucks in DE3?

[MoarFunz]

[QUOTE=MasterG;30186081]Oh no, it's the best stealth system I've played in years, the whole cover mechanic, diving at the perfect moment, sneaking round the back, causing distractions is sublime. Apart from that one part, I spent the entire leak using stealth and never caused a single alarm. Wasn't really requiring lots of reloads either. It was challenging, but more of a "patient waiting for that golden opportunity" challenge than "OH GOD THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE I NEED TO RELOAD A HUNDRED TIMES"[/QUOTE]

I'm crying in joy.

[editline]2nd June 2011[/editline]

When is this released again btw?

[markfu]

Also new e3 trailer. Ouch with the 1080 neck snap.

[QUOTE=Bluesummers;30185302]The gold and brown filter is only during cut scenes, gameplay has no filter.

that isn't stopping the lights from being gold-brown

[Coffee]

[QUOTE=MasterG;30186165]But yeah, the cover system is the best thing that they could have done. Makes the gameplay so much better.

The AI isn't bad too. A couple of hiccups here and there, but generally it's pretty good. Guards walking down a coridoor will tend to turn and look behind them, walking backwards for a few paces, before turning back, and when they pass a doorway or T-junction, they'll look down the open hallway or door as they walk past, whilst still moving.

It's all very fluid and I absolutely love it.
Yeah, to put it in perspective I didn't fire a single shot for the entire duration of the leak (Up until a shitty forced boss fight) Because I chose to be all stealthy and ninja and shit.
[editline]1st June 2011[/editline]

Also, I say we make spoilers in the thread bannable like we did in the portal 2 megathread before release.[/QUOTE]

So it's a good game then?

[Zezibesh]

That was fucking stupid, I agree.

[QUOTE=Coffee;30186272]So it's a good game then?[/QUOTE]

Definitely, just needs some fine-tuning. More non-lethal ammunition, or being able to get both the stun gun and tranq rifle earlier.

[editline]2nd June 2011[/editline]

Also yes the police station was the best bit in my opinion
It only bothered how the cops had patrol AI instead of something more believable

[Rigged237]

I want this to be exactly like deus ex 1 soooo welp
