Jesus, that is an OP. Bravo. Jumped in on the Green Man Gaming deal, can't wait to play this, because it was probably my favorite showing at E3 this year.

Fag Boy Jim posted:3AM is like the worst time, it's not too late that you might as well just sleep on it, but it's enough that you're probably going to be playing for like 3 hours before realizing you didn't get any sleep and are now too retarded from sleep deprivation to go to work . Fixed that for you. Solution: come home and sleep, wake up at 3 and power through until you have to go to work. Welcome to sleeping like a doctor.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Just out of curiosity, a lot of articles i'm reading say that the original DX didn't do so hot commercially. Is that true? Why? The original didn't do that well initially, no, despite loving outstanding reviews. Part of it was that the game had relatively high system requirements and poor performance unless you had a pretty up to date system for the time. Mostly it was just the nature of the industry and the role of the FPS at the time... the people that played FPSes didn't care about a deep story driven RPG, they wanted the next Quake 2 (because they didn't know any better, for the most part) and more importantly it didn't have multiplayer, which was basically the major feature any FPS at that time had to have. The people that liked RPGs dismissed it because it was an FPS and therefore it clearly would have to be shallow and twitchy. It was only after several months of word of mouth and rave reviews and awards (game came out in June-ish, awards were all doled out in December or later) that it suddenly showed up on people's radar. Kind of a shame (What a shame, if you will), but it happens. Pretty often, unfortunately. Chalk it up to video game sales and marketing being short sighted and mostly out of touch with the reality of the industry on the consumer level.

So to sate my appetite for awesome, I decided to bust out the old game. Thing is, since I've played DX1 like 20 times and never played 2, I decided to remedy that oversight. What have I done.

So I can't actually play yet, but I booted it up to see how it runs... it defaulted to DX11 on my it-2500k (OCed to 4.4 GHz) and GTX 560Ti with pretty much everything on except for DOF... even MSAA. I'm thinking "this probably won't run that well, it's a port" then I boot it up and am getting a solid framerate (is there a way to check exact numbers without an outside program?) throughout the whole beginning sequence.  That's even nicer performance than The Witcher 2!Also, motherfuckin' Bob Page in the opening video, same voice actor and all!

Paino posted:With pretty much 90% of pc users complaining about the game running like poo poo/doing weird things I suppose IGN was right in postponing the review. Is the pc version a trainwreck? Please tell me it isn't. It's not, I had no trouble with it. Load times aren't even that bad, god forbid you have to wait 20-30 seconds for a level to load. And I'm just running on a SATA3 7200.

What I mean is this: I will double check when I get home later and play the living shot out of this all evening, but when I tooled around this morning I feel like it was working okay. This was on a GTX 560Ti, if that makes a difference.

For the person asking about SSAO not showing up properly in the PC version, you were right... it's showing up SLIGHTLY on a few models in a few situations, but mostly it's not there, definitely not as pronounced as that screenshot of Megan. Weird.

I figured it would be sorta useless without being able to first see through said walls. I'm still on the Police Station, but I've got my legs upgraded a bit and was debating what to go for next.... Silent Running, while drat handy, isn't as super handy as I thought it would be.

I've found one major flaw to the game that annoys me to no end: You can't pickup bodies and toss them, (like DX1 and Thief) only drag them. Even with the heavy lifting arm upgrade. They could have at least made that upgrade let you pick people up and move quickly with them... it makes total sense, and it wouldn't be particularly broken or anything. It would also make that mod even better, though it's already pretty amazingly useful as is.

Kazvall posted:You totally can throw bodies? Hold e on them, aim towards something, and right or left click. You might need the picking up heavy poo poo aug. But, god damnit I've throw a body into a guy before. 3 Stacked Midgets posted:You can toss bodies far with the arm strength upgrade. But you can't pick them up, sling them over your shoulder, and run into a vent with them faster than you could have dragged them. That's my point. I want to be able to knock a dude out, pick him up, jump up on a dumpster and then up onto the roof of a building and leave him up there, or knock a dude out, grab the body, run over to a vent with silent running, duck in there and dump him in a wider bit.

unleash the unicorn posted:No it's the tunnels where you get to the lab. The part where you first encounter security cameras and the tutorial for the pops up. Don't get seen by the cameras? You also lose the Ghost bonus if they find a body. It won't automatically set off the Hostile alarm state, but they will be in that "Alarmed" state which is normally okay if they, say, catch a glimpse of you and walk over to investigate. The former ruins your Ghost bonus, the latter does not.

Rookersh posted:So, is there like, a treasure trove of weapon upgrades I'm missing? Really? There's two RoF mods in the Alice Pods alone... One in a side room on the second floor sold by the arms dealer, and another above it that you can get by punching through a walk on the third floor. There's also another one in the sewers behind a wall, I think, and one in Detroit in the gang territory somewhere, as I recall.

I'm stuck on a side thing in the TYM building... When you get up to the second area, there's a downed power line and you have to move some boxes to get up to a ladder. in the previous room there's a few cages with lockers in them, one of which has a PEPS and the breaker switch. There's also a vent in this area and one spur of it leads to a little fan room with a dead guy with a data pad and what looks to be a weapon upgrade above you, but the vent that leads up there is too high to jump up, even with the leg aug. The vents are also too small to shove a box through to get up there... how the hell do I get to that guy? I can't seem to find a way up there.

EMP shielding makes the second boss fight easy as gently caress. I just ran around laying EMP mines and shooting the power generators, along with a few double shotguns to the face. She dropped in like less than a minute. Even easier than the first boss.

Oxxidation posted:My experience with the second boss was pretty breezy, too. I had the radar upgrade so I was able to see her as soon as she materialized. I then filled her with so much lead she probably left divots in the pavement when she ran away again. Never even knew about the generators. I found out mostly by accident... I set a mine off by one and it was red and flashing, so I tried shooting it and it exploded and killed her.
