On the topic of robolegs, they actually seem kinda neat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ0iMulicgg

While I know it's not the same thing, something about this girl and her legs bugs me. Also, it's weird that there's no such hybrid allinonet leg that will perform all three functions of Running, Standing and Walking. I'm guessing it's due to the loss of an articulated foot?

Tecman posted:

But, unless I am not understanding your post correctly, isn't this exactly how the current system works? Aka, you're on Pip 3 out of 5, you turn on Cloaking and turn it off before the current pip runs out completely. Once you do, Pip 3 will regenerate. You still have 3 pips to work with.

The problem with this setup isn't the regen mechanic, it's that takedowns (and some other augs) deplete the entire thing. Takedowns are very expensive, energy-wise, and if you go that route, you'll probably end up on your last one constantly until you replenish yourself with candy bars. Maybe if takedowns depleted ~90% of your current pip, the system would work better?

e;fb

I like the idea of having NON-lethal takedowns only use about 75-95% of the pip and that Lethal takedowns would use a full pip. But then I would just punch every mofo in the gameworld.

I haven't tried to fully upgrade Adam's armor augmentation yet, so I'm a bit unsure as to how much damage he can really take if one decided to go with the full on combat route.

That said, it's probably a bit unfair to say "Rambo" style doesn't work at all without trying to upgrade the armor fully, although ammo rarity would seem to preclude that as a truly viable option. If I miss anything in the new game, it would be that. Deus Ex was no Half Life, but it was a shooter first and foremost. It seems that HR is more Deus Ex than Deus Ex was.

With the armor upgrades, you die in 4 seconds rather than 2.

The easiest way to defeat the boss is just to throw explosive barrels at him. They damage and stun the boss long enough for you to pick up and throw another barrel. Do that 5 or so times and you are set. A character without any skill points spent could easily beat him that way so don't worry about combat augs if you don't like to play that way.

Hmm. Don't you need the Strength Aug for that? I found that the Cloak Aug was indispensable for successfully evading him. Once I got out of his LOS, I just wandered around and picked up all the goodies available.

So for those who played the leak, how likely are you to bet on the wrong horse with stat building if you try to learn the ropes on your own? I had issues with that in Vampire Bloodlines, where I did pretty well through 80% of the game with average (not crappy) combat skills (focusing on social and stealth/exploration as my primary goal), only to hit a brick wall near the end (which basically has combat as the only really viable option) so I'm going to try to be careful about building. I'm certainly going to try to focus on combat and stealth, with a few dips into other things.

Even if you go stat-heavy on the non-combat Augs (say hacking and stealth), you can still purchase upgrades for your weapons. The combat augs didn't do much for me. Even with the Armor Aug, you die pretty quick on Give me Deus Ex difficulty. And the weapon stabilization was only really necessary for long range shots. I'm more of a Walk up and give the badguy a buckshot sandwich in the face.

That first boss fight can be tricky though.

Heh, makes two of us :hfive:. It's funny, almost all the time when a game includes romance I wish it hadn't because it predictably comes off as silly, corny, or both, but this time I can't help but feel the opposite, because somehow Malik manages to hit close to every single element I find attractive in a woman.

On the other side... while Eidos Montreal has done a great job that doesn't mean they wouldn't have screwed up writing a romance like nearly every other developer out there, including some really good ones. And I should be extremely thankful that Reed and Jensen don't get back together, which I REALLY feared was the conclusion of his rescue-the-princess quest. Instead she's insufferable and untrustworthy, yay! :v:

It would be awesome if she were some sort of super-boss end battle. Her morality diminished even further, she's completely gone off the deep end and thrown herself into THE SCIENCE. She knows the science will work so she experiments on her own body and becomes a super augmented and megalomanical badass. Something akin to The Phoenix, Tetsuo, Neo/Smith, etc.
