>>319624637
I played this game recently because of /v/, and I was worried it wouldn't live up to the hype. I played the first mission, thought it was meh. Dropped it for a week, went back, and I played through the rest of the game in two days. It's so fucking good. It really puts modern game writing to shame.
Also, to anyone starting it for the first time: rebind the keys before you start playing.
>>319628969
It's not as bad as the first time I booted up System Shock 2.I just realized I never actually finished SS2.
>>319628969
Vanilla or mod?
I recently replayed it with Revision and I finished it within a week. I never actually finished the game before though I already played it two times.

does this story get any better? I just got to hong kong. Im really impressed with the gameplay, not the shooting, but how many gameplay options each level has according to playstyles. But the story so far is kinda shit so far. Feels like a grind, infiltrate a base, 5 min cut scene, debrief, infiltrate another base, rinse repeat. The writing or characters arent great either.
>>319632906
Yes, the story only gets better afterward. I used to drop the game at Hongkong on my earlier playthrough, I'm glad I didn't on my next.
>>319628661
Prod with the prod
>>319632906
Not really. I also didn't like pacing and thought the story felt stilted at times. However, it's something you should definitely see until the very end.

>>319633101
>>319633262
Well whatever, i like the music and game mechanics so im gonna finish it. Kinda disappointed by the story. Seems like everyone hyped it up as some GOAT story. i liked HR story more so far.
The game is kind of slow during the New York City chapters. If Liberty City doesn't make you quit, a few of the Hell's Kitchen missions might, although it's crazy how many ways you can tackle just that one area.
Things get better when you destroy the NSF base and encounter Lebedev (the fact that you can save Lebedev andkill Navarreis amazing and makes the game 10/10 already), but again I feel like it drags when you hit the MJ-12 prison. Things get better again when you realize you've been at UNATCO the whole time.
After that the game is amazing 10/10 GOTYAY holy shit I'm the greatest cybernetic soldier ever I can do anything blah blah blah, at least until you hit Vandenburg. After that things drag a little bit until you defeat Page. Area 51 is practically a breeze at that point but the Aliums are still freaky and some of the scariest enemies in the game.

>>319638775
Really depends on which kind of character you want to roll, but you can't go wrong with having at least one point in computers, lockpicking, and electronics. If you can only pick one of those, I'd go for computers.
>>319638775
Swimming
>>319638775
Swimming, for the ocean levels
>>319638775
Swimming, there's a sunken boat in the 1st level under the starting point.

SS2 was a weird experience for me.
When I first started and saw those polygon graphics, I just wanted to vomit.
I am not usually a graphics whore, but I simply can not stand polygon shit.
Anywho, later (4 years later) I started it again and went past the graphics and read up on understanding the game and it just clicked for me.
I fucking loved every second of it and it was instantly one of my favorite games, oh and dat soundtrack too hnng.
>>319638775
Swimming.
The game might as well be called Bio Ex because there's alot of water levels.

>>319639698
The ocean lab level is almost impossible without swimming.
>>319638775
Swimming. Most levels have a swimming section that are almost impossible without the right amount of swimming.
It's why most people quit the game.

and you actually need high level swimming to get it
>>319640348
That's very good anon. It's never too late to play older games. I started around 2 years ago making up for lost time and I'm still at it, with over 100 games in my backlog. I don't even care about AAA anymore.
The "aged like milk" meme is only true if you want to believe it or you just care about graphics. In game design and narrative they're still better than 99% of the games in the last 10 years.
>>319633413
Holy shit my DIIIICK
>>319639885
Well thanks for telling me
I'm still bothered that Jensen has more powerful augmentations than JC despite HR happening way before JC was conceived.
Which is better, Soldier of Fortune 1, or 2?
>>319640978
Are you kidding me? JC with the maxed out regen and the maxed out legs + the sword is more powerful than 90% of vidya game characters.
>>319639809
First playthrough I did and named myself Jay Z denton
>>319641040

What happened to that remake thing? Played the game for the first time from start to finish last year and I want to replay it.

>>319638775
Low tech and pistol. Crossbow and dragon tooth sword is goat. The crossbow tranq one shots nearly every enemy silently (albeit over time) and regular darts/tranq base damage is same as sniper rifle's. At higher levels + targeting aug and melee damage aug, crossbows and dragon tooth smashes all non INF strength doors and turrets/cameras.
>all these swimming responses
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT7sjoH8Sqc
>>319640978
No. Maybe, just the Typhoon, but that's it. In addition to having more physical strength and speed, JC is near-invincible to common weapons, whereas Adam dies from a couple of bullets even at the max armor upgrade.
>>319640989
Never played SoF 2, but first one is a damn good game.

HR's augs aren't that over the top really.
It's HR:MD's augs that are crossing the line from believable to fucking magic.
>>319641535
>It's HR:MD's augs that are crossing the line from believable to fucking magic.
Yes, especially those infinite throwing blades and "nano armor".
Man, HR devs just can't grasp what makes DE good, it's sad.
>>319633413
That's actually pretty fucking based
>>319641750
lol
And you do?
>>319641750
I just keep hoping they're improving and learned from HR.
I know i'll play MD and hope they made Jensen more likable.
>>319641830
He is right though, HR never captured what makes deus ex games great. HR was a great game by itself, but not exactly in the style of deus ex.
>>319633413
Fucking great
>>319641830
Yeah, sure.

>>319642026
The stun darts make sense.
The teleporting thing, much less but see >>319641398 it's almost the same shit.
>>319641983
Eidos Montreal seems to be looking more into Dishonored for improvements than looking at HR and learning from their mistakes.
I'm not holding my breath for a good Deus Ex game.
>>319640489

Invisible War should answer all your questions: in order to attract a wider audience, it needed to be dumbed down and it needed to sacrifice depth to look prettier.
Extrapolating that explains most of the woes of AAA gaming: to compensate for the budget, you've got to sell more. To sell more, you've got to make it as inoffensive to as many people as possible.

The video game industry became hugely profitable. It was shortly thereafter infiltrated by soulless business and marketing majors. These new saboteurs know how to lie to people and sell things to as many people as possible. This results in dumbed-down games with training wheels that cater to 12 year olds on xbox and are completely linear and play like movies.
Another huge problem with games is the fact that the 7th generation of consoles took away development from the PC. The popularity of the consoles led to most developers working on consoles which retarded the graphics and gameplay in all the games that were created. Games for 7th generation consoles were made for outdated hardware incapable of high resolution. The games were also developed to work on a controller, which made the gameplay and AI behavior suffer in accommodation to fewer buttons and less precise inputs.
The budgets became huge and money was squandered or downright embezzled. Look at the credits of quake 3: 13 people. Now look at the credits of any modern AAA game. It will have 300+ people and there will be numerous studios where work was subcontracted.
Everyone has their hands in the cookie jar trying to get a piece of that 500 million dollar game budget. The entire system has been poisoned from the inside. The only hope is a complete crash of the video game industry to send the cockroaches scurrying.

This, only the focus group is now habits that are datamined extensively. Every second of gameplay: what people do most, where they go, what they click, where they die, where they get frustrated and quit, etc. Mapping what people do through the course of a game allows people to make a more formulaic game. Painted by the numbers and totally soulless.

Makes sense, it's the same in cinema.
