Just started this. Pretty fun so far, but for some reason my silent takedowns don't work at all, and just agitates the enemies. Any help?
Also Deus Ex thread
>>344465846
hit them in the small of their back
>>344465846
You need to invest some skill points pal.
>>344465846
A non-lethal takedown is always the most silent takedown.
Stick with the prod. Prod with the prod.
Just in case though, we're police.
>>344465846
The GEP gun takedown is the most silent way to eliminate Manderly
What the fuck is with all of the Deus Ex shilling lately, holy shit. Is it just one autist who bought the collection and wants /v/ to make him feel vindicated or are those french canadian faggots kicking the marketing into overdrive to make sure more than 10 people buy the new one next month?
>>344465846
download the shifter mod, it fixes the bugged silent takedowns
take the gep gun, you can find a crossbow and a sniper rifle on the island
also the gep gun is the most silent way to eliminate Manderley
>>344466298
Don't listen to this guy OP. Don't download any mod, play vanilla.

No. 1 red flag for a pleb.
quick, lads
medicine, electronics, lockpicking, computer
which two are most important?
>>344467284
lockpicking and electronics, how is this even a choice?
>>344467025
the original shitposter
>>344467382
what's wrong with computer?
>>344467140
Vidya is literally the only medium where it's justified to dislike something on account of it being dated, since the enjoyment of it is intrinsically reliant on one's tolerance of the mechanics.
Unless, of course, you happen to be a nostalgiafaggot.
>>344467452
if you are quick with a mouse it doesn't really matter
and besides, theres always datacubes with passwords just lying around
>>344467284
All of them end up paying off except for medicine. You won't really use medkits as soon as you get the regeneration augment
I'd dump a level in computers on character creation and another later on when you're done with your weapons of choice. You can also level lockpicking or electronics at your pace, since generally one will cover for the other (gotta note that a good number of locked doors can be blown up with explosives)
>>344467452
It, at most, prevents you from accessing email and disabling some enemies. Electronics and lock picking both grant you access to alternative routes and great items.
>>344467483
excelent level design, a good artstyle, score and writing more then make up for any mechanical faults the game may have
We have opened the mayor. When the power drops go in, and go in, and go in, and GO IN, like the U.S. Marshall and his 3 daughters and we lose the vaccine?

Deus Ex is a documentary occulted behind gameplay

>>344467483
True, the more intolerant of mechanics the greater the pleb.
>>344467483
It's really only graphically dated. The gunplay is unnecessarily clunky, but has been since launch (honestly one of the worst interactions between player and character skill I've ever seen). Everything else, especially level design and reactivity, is top notch.
>>344467943
Paul!?
I thought there were a GEP gun.
>>344468132
But that would require explosive mission D L C(tm) avaiable only at GameStop(tm)

>>344468045
deus ex has working laser pointers which guides projectiles exactly down that sight with and without headbob.
modern games dont do that. look at planetside 2 for example. terrible laserpointer mechanics.
player controls are top teir in deus ex, and the map is made to be traversed by running, jumping, strafing, swimming, corner-peeking, and sneaking.
the graphics are far from dated as they are 1000% lag free and blends the gameplay, the story and the world all into one unquestionable experience.
Modern video games do not allow for this. Just look at planetside 2 for example. You can fucking fall through the world and have trees not even load until you crash a plane into them.
>>344465846
get gmdx mod. makes it less shit.

Deus Ex and Halo Ce are the greatest shooters ever made. Games to be enjoyed across the ages . Modern videogames like planetside 2 will get BORING and DULL after maybe an hour of gameplay. I can sit down and enjoy Deus Ex or Halo CE all day or all night any time of the year.

>>344469443
It IS a shooter you meme loving dip
>>344469614
it's a rpg with some fps gameplay
SS2 on the other hand is a fps with some rpg gameplay
>>344469974
>some fps gameplay
meaning you can qualify it as a shooter
>>344469974
role playing is not a genre
all video games are role playing games.
Take planetside 2 for example: IRL I am not a factionist terran republican who uses guns to remove the things I do not like. It's a make believe role I am playing out in cyberspace with the tools of my mouse, keyboard and computer. Role playing is not a genre it is a state of mind.
Shooter is a genre. It is defining of the gameplay, which is by and large looking down the sights of a GEP gun.
>>344470571
>all video games are role playing games
>>344470825
Well they are. You're not any of those fictional characters you play as under any circumstances. It is not you on that screen no matter how hard you try to convince yourself you're in that video game. It's not your skin being shot up and it's not your ego that is being damaged by traumatic video game events.
All video games by design are role playing games.
>>344467025
>not also naming yourself READ ME
i miss universal subject fields
>>344469974
RPG mechanics were a mistake.
Why didn't they just keep things simple, like System Shock?
>>344471043
>It is not you on that screen no matter how hard you try to convince yourself you're in that video game
And that doesn't mean every video game is a role playing game. That means video games are video games, and thus not real, you fucking casserole
>>344471498
"RPG" is code phrase for cashcow, money mistake, time sink, bait.
They aren't video games if it's genre assignment is "role playing" Those software packages are simple solutions for parents who need a day care or a baby sitter but don't trust their neighborhoods. They're not games. They're visual novels if that.
RTS is a genre
Shooter is a genre
FPS is a genre
Strategy is a genre
Role playing is not a genre
Arcade is not a genre
Role playing is a state of mind
Arcade is a physical representation of that state of mind that you can go to for businesses to make money off you.
Arcades don't really exist here anymore but Mobile has taken over that assignment.
Mobile is not a genre.
just realized that Adam Jensen is the Big Boss of Deus Ex
>>344472337
accurate
Anybody who judges whether or not a game has "aged well" or is "dated" is a fucking retard, whose opinion should outright be ignored by everybody.
It'd be like somebody saying, "Well Shakespear hasn't aged well because it isn't even written in modern English, the words from Olde english just sound crude compared with the elegance of updated language, and their definitions don't even hold up."
>>344468762
You should also try out Aliens vs Predator 2, it is pretty good.
Though sadly you'll never get the full enjoyment of it, because the multiplayer experience was fucking phenomenal.
>>344466273
I think you're just being autistic
>>344472760
Actually, Shakespeare is technically modern English (early modern English, but it still counts)
>>344472106
The general qualities that make up games such as TES, all JRPGs, Deus Ex, Witcher etc. etc collectively form the genre that is RPGs ie: not strictly shooting (like an fps) not strictly resource management/base and army building (like rts) racing vehicles (like racing games) etc.
RPGs generally put you into the role of a certain unique character where you the player can determine what role the character plays in the game and differing actions they can make while having character skill progression- which shows development in a certain role you choose.
There, faggot, I tried to give a nice thorough explanation of what an RPG is. Can you seriously say that Deus Ex is a shooter if I can simply not shoot people?
>>344473065
>Arguing the technicality rather than the priciple
Your logic is shit mate
>>344465846
Started playing this a couple days ago, I'm 16 hours in and I'm loving it so far.
My only complain is just how incredibly futuristic Human Revolution looks compared to the Deus Ex 1, even though it takes 25 years after.
I have a question by the way, can I not loot gibbed bodies?
![maxresdefault[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/SGxiVsP.jpg "maxresdefault[1].jpg")
>>344473448
You're the faggot I can just replace "RPG" with "Video Game" and your pontification would have made MORE sense!
>>344473448
Shooter and FPS is about focal points, not necessarily what you chose to accomplish in-game goals. Using the binoculars is a FIRST PERSON SHOOTER aspect. You're shooting a glance at where you enemies be.
RPG is still not a genre
>>344473640
I think he was just sayin your analogy is shit m8
>>344473802
>My only complain is just how incredibly futuristic Human Revolution looks compared to the Deus Ex 1, even though it takes 25 years after.
That's one of the reasons I like the world of Deus Ex: it doesn't go overboard on its sci-fi elements compared to other games
>>344473802
>I have a question by the way, can I not loot gibbed bodies?
No, you have to use the stun prod/ gas grenades/ pepper spray to prevent specific enemies from exploding then you can loot them.
>>344474001
>You're the faggot I can just replace "RPG" with "Video Game" and your pontification would have made MORE sense!
No I'm not.
>Deus Ex is FPS because binoculars are FPS because I can use the word 'shooting' like a retard
Deus Ex is a first person RPG.
I don't even know why you try to argue that RPGs arent a genre when you are the only person ever who would question it. How would you seriously categorize other games branded as RPGs?
>>344474102
>That's one of the reasons I like the world of Deus Ex: it doesn't go overboard on its sci-fi elements compared to other games...I actually complained about how un-futuristic DX looked, not about how futuristic DXHR looked. I didn't think DXHR was overboard with the futurism at all, it was just right IMO.
>specific enemies
Like?
>>344467483
I played it back in 2013 for the first time and enjoyed the fuck out of it, faggot.
>>344472915
not him, but I have AvP2 on my backlog
wanted to play that game like crazy a couple of years after it came out, but never found it in any store. a couple of weeks ago I finally remembered the game, andpiratedit. hope it's as good as I hoped for 15 years ago
>>344474547
Oh. Well, to each his own
>>344474547
HR's sci-fi elements are pretty silly considering it only takes place 16 years from its release
>>344465846
I was just thinking about reinstalling this game. Is biomod worth a shot or should I just stick with shifter?
>>344474507
>How would you seriously categorize other games branded as RPGs?
Scroll up for that answer, buddy I spelled out my thoughts and preferences thoroughly. If you ignored those statues than I can see clearly where the misunderstanding begins and ends.
You say I am the only one to argue this?
Then the path I walk is that of greatness. Others will follow the path that I myself carved out and paved.
>>344465846
Stun with the prod and hit them with the baton.
Manderley raps.

>>344483597
nice
Do you prefer stealth/nonlethal, lethal, or a bit of both?
>>344467841
That will be your butt.
>>344483841
I always went nonlethal until I learned how fun low tech+legs was.
>>344467631
I hate that whole system in this and similar games where you can enter a password you've found. it makes repeat playthroughs if you've memorized them feel trivial and nonsensical.
I like to pick my nose.
>>344466487
vanilla is terrible.
also, cheat and give yourself all skillpoints to max them out right away. otherwise the laughably bad gun combat will make you drop it before long.
Should I buy this or original fallout/ theif
>>344465846
You need to max swimming to do silent takedowns.
>>344484174
but that's part of the fun
>>344467025
is invisible war really that bad?
does it start with helios ending in deus ex 1 or something else?
Stun with the Prod, then knock out with the slappy stick.
>>344472760
better things come along and replace those experiences. if a game has nothing left unique to offer then it becomes "dated"
GMDX or Revision?
>>344465846
prod them in the ass then stand up and whack them in the head with the baton
>>344484772

passwords are immersion breaking.
>>344485186
gmdx
also, throw away the dragon tooth sword when you find it.
it makes the game too easy/boring. too bad you encounter them a bunch near the last third though.
I hope MD has less hacking. Fucking shit HR had some 50 hackable items every level. It was insane. Most of them served no purpose.
>>344467747
>excelent level design, a good artstyle
These are two of the worst features of Deus Ex though. The buildings and layout of areas make absolutely no architectural sense. They're fun to play through, I guess, but there's no attempt at all to make the areas feel like real places or fit things together in a sensible way. The worst example is probably the fucking winding corridors at the entrance to every building in some ghastly attempt to mask loading times. In terms of maps, holy fucking Christ just look at Hell's kitchen. The whole game, except maybe a few areas like Hong Kong, looks like a first time effort using some game map design software.
The artstyle is just irredeemably shit. It looked bad when it came out and it looks bad now.
>>344485829
No shit mate it's set in a futuristic world full of technology. Everything is protected by software. IT's called being realistic
>>344486871
fortunately Deus Ex never tried to be a realistic videogame, so I see no reason for there to be so many hackable useless items in the world.
