Professor Latency posted:I can't wait for this stuff to be real. That's why I love this universe, it's totally plausible in the near future for this exact situation to happen. It's virtually plausible now. But this sort of thing is going to be so expensive that it will be out of the common man's hands for at least the next 100 years. Technical innovation will continue to slow down as there's no profit to be made from faster innovation. We went from first powered flight ever, to the moon, in 60 years. In the 40 since then..... well, there's a whole lot of achievements to unlock out there. So yay us..... I guess.

xutech posted:The idea of humans being punished for altering themselves seems to me to be an extension of magical thinking. Humans are already punished for altering themselves though, for having tattoos. Tattoos may be more accepted than ever, but a huge segment of the population still looks down on those with tattoos, and more importantly, there's still a lot of jobs out there you can't get if you have visible tattoos. Tattoos have been around forever as well, so if we still look down on them in a sense after all this time, voluntary limb replacement may not go down well. It's one thing when a vet gets his arm blown off and gets a replacement, another when some dude is basically "I wanted new arms that were stronger and could light a barbecue on command. Also, phantom whack-off potential."

I'd imagine the soundtrack will be a bunch of MP3s and the movies and storyboards will be some MP4 or AVI files. It'll probably all show up in some directory called "Extras" or something of that sort in the games install directory. And this is exactly how sad and pathetic Collectors Editions have become.

Yes, really. Just like every "statue" that comes with a game, the nice pics are all taken with the production samples that someone spent hours, if not days painting. The statues that come with the game, they're made of PVC, and the paint work will likely be south of adequate. Save your cash and buy a McFarlane Dragons action figure, which cost about $15 and will doubtlessly be higher quality than the "statue" you get with Skyrim. Hell, did anyone see those bookends they put in the MK4 collectors edition? Those things were ugly as poo poo and the quality was abysmal.

I saw an ad in-game for Final Fantasy 27 (or whatever number), and I wasn't sure if that was a joke or an actual advertisement for a real FF game. Also, drat, quite a way to start the game where if you dick around too long, all the hostages die. Pretty heavy stuff to drop on the player as soon as the main game starts. I didn't think anything was going to happen, since virtually every game ever will pester you at times to hurry up, but nothing ever comes of it no matter how long you take. Maybe they should have kept that sort of consequence for a little later in the game, once you know dicking around can have actual consequences in this game. Maybe have the first mission go "Get to the chopper! You've taken too much time and now the hostages dinners will be cold by the time you inevitably rescue them."

Methodis posted:Are the anti-aliasing options on PC in order from least system intensive to most? Wondering the same with Shadows also. No. Edge Detect is kind of a lovely, blur based AA. The FXAA options are NVidia's new post-process AA filter, but it also works on ATI hardware. MLAA is ATI's post-process AA filter. Supposedly it only works on ATI hardware, which I have, so I couldn't tell you if that option is greyed out or not with NVidia hardware present.

coyo7e posted:Maybe they know better than to notice... It's a little odd though how the non-lethal takedown is the silent option, and yet is quite noisy, and a lethal takedown is the noisy option, and yet could be done quietly. With with the non-lethal, you're breaking bones, the guy groans and hits the floor loudly. With lethal, if he'd just grab the buy over the mouth and then shove one of his blades through the ribs into the heart, and then slowly lowered him to the floor, it would be pretty drat quiet.

deepshock posted:What sense does that make? If the developers are fundamentally opposed to having a game like this windowed, why even pretend like there's some opportunity? Why force it fullscreen in the first place? It isn't killing my enjoyment of the game but it makes negative sense to me and any explanation would be welcome. Having a setting in the registry or an ini file is hardly pretending that option is available. Look at any game built on the Unreal engine; a decent portion of settings in the ini file have no use for whatever game is installed. It's just a list of potential settings, some of which are used in X game, others are used in Y game. This game is no different. It uses a pre-made engine, the Crystal Engine made by Crystal Dynamics (as seen in some Tomb Raider games), and many options that may be present may have no use for this game. Of all the things the coders need to do, stripping out unneeded option strings from the registry or an ini file is pretty low on the list, considering the game will automatically ignore whatever it's isn't designed to take advantage of. gibbed posted:http://mod.gib.me/deusex3/no-intro.zip This sounds awesome, but the link doesn't seem to be working.

Leovinus posted:I have literally no idea whether or not you're serious.  Imagine four cutscenes at the end of the game. Say a direct copy of the cutscene nearest the end of the game is sent to the back of the line of cutscenes and takes the place of the first cutscene. The formerly first cutscene becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth you don't bother to watch. Deus Ex works the same way.

One at the bottom of the elevator shaft in Hengsha Court Gardens after the elevator moves and one in a desk drawer in the office area of Picus. You missed the most obvious one, which was in the first mission at the warehouse. It's directly in front of you as you get off an elevator, and then two steps past it, you get a prompt saying "Tutorial: Praxis Points. Press Tab to view".

Zikan posted:There is also one in an random apartment in Detroit! It's behind a level 5 lock but there is a computer that you can hack nearby with the code. The one random thing I don't like in this game is that there's several datapads that are just lying under cardboard boxes. So unless you're constantly going Batman with your x-ray vision, or lifting up every cardboard box in the game, there's several that are easily missable.

BigRed0427 posted:Also, did anyone else notice that Jensen has a nice floral pattern on the shoulders of his jacket? That fits in with the neo-renaissance vibe they were really pushing at the start of the development. I know they scaled back on that as time went on, but it's still oddly inconsistent in the final game. Some characters like the Picus news lady, and your doctor friend at the beginning of the game are definitely sporting some neo-renaissance inspired togs, but then a lot of character are just wearing clothes that basically like what people wear these days.

Am I missing something or is not possible to hack a computer or keypad once you've used a legit login/pass on it? If so, it seems like hacking is the only way to go, assuming you can, since otherwise you'd miss out on the XP and any bonuses you find in the directories.

MrLonghair posted:Talk better to the guy at the desk. I believe it was Plead Absolve Plead Absolve to get the Silver Tongue reward. Not necessarily. If you reload and retry the conversations where you can sway people, the conversations will actually change and answers that may have worked won't work the next time. Most people won't even notice this until a second playthrough, but kudos to the devs for doing this. I noticed it myself last night when I was talking to Sarif about that thing, and I had the social aug. I screwed up one of the responses and my rating with him dropped, so I reloaded. The next time though, I used the same answers as I did before, except this time an answer that had previously worked provoked a rebuke from Sarif. It's not just that the correct answer changes, but the actual dialog lines are different as well.

Are you sure?" spiel, which included "Call of Duty?" I know these guys are mostly just normal dudes who are stuck in a job that requires you to extort people, so I politely said "I don't really like FPS games", to which he said "You know this game is an FPS, right?"  Don't sink to their level. Just ignore their poo poo, complete your purchase, and leave with some class. As soon as you start making a stink in the store, you become that guy that other customers start edging away from and try not to make eye contact with.

KillerBunny posted:Did anyone else catch the very subtle reference to recent Canadian politics? Near the very end of the game, on a computer or pocket secretary in Panchea, you can find an email regarding Prime Minister (Justin, presumably) Trudeau of Canada. There's quite a few references to Canada in the game. Most of them basically boil down to "Canada=Good, America=Bad". Sounds like some people on the developers team are fitting well into the stereotype of the canadian inferiority complex. Sometimes my country annoys the poo poo out of me.
