This game is a sequel to an alternate-universe Human Revolution where Jensen just kept on minding his business and gets his mirror fixed

You could stand right in front of them and headshot them to death with the stun gun. I don't think I did that on jaren though pretty sure I just threw down the 20 frag mines I'd been collecting and stood in a corner until the cutscenes played

you couldn't do it on him because he recovers faster, you have to step your strategy up to "do the same thing except from around a corner"

why are you even going to class if all you're gonna do is play games in it, is attendance mandatory

attendance is mandatory, and it's taught basically right off of the powerpoints.

The bosses were bad because they gave you all the resources you needed in the room to beat them, then made those resources hard to get because a powerful, aggressive enemy was pursuing you the entire time and could kill you very, very fast, something the gameplay wasn't really set up to handle.

They were nice enough to include one weird trick to killing the bosses (augmented humans HATE this) to trivialize all of them (typhoon).

It doesn't make the boss fights good just lets you bypass them easily even if you were a sneakman.

It felt like the cover shooting from Rainbow Six Vegas but way worse. The FPS stuff also felt like Vegas but worse. Basically all combat in HR was dull and making a sneaky guy was the best but then you couldn't beat the bosses. good rear end game
I didn't like the combat but I realised that I'd blown my no-kills run right when I reached the final area so I saw hordes of not-zombies, said "gently caress this", loaded up the magnum I'd had sitting around all game with explosive ammo and went to town. It owned

I didn't kill anybody in my play through except for the ones that were trying to kill Malik, because I would read emails from people and I didn't want to hurt them, but I think those ones were bad men so it was OK.

Edit: Also I killed some who went into that weird place where all the apartments were little tubes because they killed people randomly and that makes them bad men.

yeah as good as the game was i usually went with the clever or non-violent options because it was kind of boring to just shoot everyone.

i mean the gunplay isn't fallout bad but it's not a selling point of the game, and i hope that's something they correct

You can save malik without killing anyone. Imagine the conversation those guys have when they wake up and the person they're supposed to kill is disappeared.

I know, but tell that to Adam Jensen, who makes his own justice.

They can all go back to their bosses and tell them that a single man beat them all up and saved the girl in between tubs of energy food. That's justice.
