Have any of the hands on reviewers talked about stealth takedowns? Wondering if takedown animations are in or not.

Unarmed takedowns fade out into an animation like Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Unlike DX: HR that animation is a 10-12 minute cutscene exploring the victim's life story and history of intersectional oppression under a racist and classist capitalist system.

It’s funny watching goons post like they eat cereal with a fork in 15 different threads and then you catch them in one random thread demonstrating their field of mastery or historical knowledge and you remember every poster is person behind all their gimmicks. Those history posts were cool.

there are definitely canned takedown animations in the game but we haven't really seen much about when and how they trigger

We've certainly seen some canned melee animations in trailers - the newest one has that clip of you ripping a dude's guts out. It seems like they won't break first person though, so no hard perspective cuts like in DE:HR. One thing the previewers have consistently said is that the game strenuously avoids breaking continuity of the player perspective.

My favorite GM tactic. I kill the guard. Jfc. Alright. What's he got on him. Eh, he's we wearing a gold band. In his wallet are a bunch of credit cards, a picture of an adult woman and a young boy taken two years ago. Two train tickets for Anaheim for tomorrow. A movie ticket stubb from nine years ago and another one from a re-release three years ago. A folded up obituary for a 31 year old mother of one survived by her husband and seven year old son.

Apparently the game only has a handful of cutscenes, so them not breaking first-person pov tracks.Arglebargle III posted:Unarmed takedowns fade out into an animation like Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Thought my first character was gonna be Molly but actually it's going to be off brand corpo JC Denton who becomes an anti-corporate resistance fighter. If there aren't sunglasses in this game it's going straight into the trash. "My vision's been enhanced, shithead."

Don't like me helping people across the galaxy? Get the hell off the Normandy. Only Low Chaos endings for me in my Dishonored games (I loving hate morality systems in games lol). That does not mean, however, that I will not arm myself with a cat-o-nine-tails and drive some mother fuckers outta the temple with extreme prejudice. Making Rufus from FF7 is mad genius though.

Honestly, same. Reflective of my own moral compass, perhaps, but If I'm given a lot of power I wanna do good with it. Sure, if someone is a completely unrepentant poo poo I MIGHT indulge my berserker impulse a bit, but gently caress you if you think I'm making unnecessary sacrifices for a bit more loot. This is usually to my own detriment in games where it's not designed that way. Playing through most of halo 2 while making drat sure I was good enough to pull every allied npc through the section they were in. (Assuming of course they aren't cutscene murdered.) Culminated in one scene in halo 3 where you first fight the flood. The first npcs are meant to die because a literal swarm of infectors drop on top of them with about two dozen infected. I somehow managed to make the entire group live with an insane combination of pre-firing at their spawning points and liberal use of all my grenades. Of course, they never followed me and probably died off screen, but hey. I did my part.

I get that too. Picking the Dark Side ending option in KOTOR was kinda hard and I'd been playing Light Side up to that point.

Also dehumanize yourself and face the character you make. Playing a horrible bad person in a video game that lets you is so cathartic and amazing, I highly recommend it. I got some stupid mission in Walking Dead Saints and Sinners about "wah wah bring back my wedding ring and I'll give you a safe combo." Or I put an axe in your forehead and take the codes ---- bypassing a whole slew of annoying poo poo.

I never got any catharsis from evil runs of gamesWay more cathartic to actually solve everyone's problems neatly and perfectly, something I can never do IRL. Whereas I can pretty much always choose to be more evil and selfish.

The problem is that 'evil paths' in video games are typically written as being a sociopath who is evil for no reason whatsoever and is typically antagonising people they need to instrumentalise to proceed down the plot. The games that do it right (Mass Effect, Alpha Protocol, The Witcher) work within the boundaries of accepting that the protagonist is the hero of their own story and make the writing about 'do you go out of your way to help others, or do you just want to get your thing done.

Inspector Gesicht posted:I'm interested in the locales we'll see outside Night City. Blade Runner 2049 simply didn't repeat the first movie because it wasn't always night and it wasn't entirely set in Los Angeles. There was life crawling out of foggy scrap-heaps, what passes for a farm exists in a bleached-white waste, and what remains of Las Vegas exist in a red haze. It was gorgeous. Honestly one of a few films I own on physical media.

Video game morality systems have always failed because the easy options are always the evil options so the gameplay is usually more rewarding if you’re good but then the Evil powers are almost always cooler than light side powers. I have never picked good or evil based on RP, it has always exclusively been about which powers or items you get rewarded with. If a game has a morality system, they should keep it 100% behind the scenes.
