I finished my 1st playthrough on Normal/Recruit, I'm *considering* doing a Hard/Veteran path for my next one .. this time being a complete and utter bastard to everyone except the sexable chicks (since I missed SIE the first time round, I didn't get the "full set" achievement)
>_>

Ugh that cocaine snorting fuck was so cheap. I hated that mission (aside from the grand entrance).

Ok, two questions for those that played/finished the game differently to me;
 Spoiler: |
1. What did you do to sex up SIE? I only saw her once in Moscow, then later at the end of the game - if I chose her as my handler - she, instead of SIS from G22, frees you from the medial lab. At no time did I get the chance with her.
2. How do you return to working for AP? I got the chances to go rogue (take down AP and Halbech) or to join Halbech.. but I didn't see any way to rejoin AP even though there's an achievement for doing so.
|
Oh and the Brayko battle was AWESOME! I played as a melee character so had enough points to really kick the shit out of him. Love the "reward" you get for beating him

XP is dying.I was a great fan of XP and hated Vista but having used all 3 OS's I can say Win 7 is the best.XP has seen better days.Its time game developers started focusing on x64 Os and Win 7 full support.XP won't last forever.

My rating with her is 10.. Any idea how high it has to be in order to have sexy time?

Completed the game 2nd time, tried to get everyone to hate me except a few characters.
| Spoiler: | Mina totally hated Mike, bragging about what monster he has become, she then proceeded to list all the times I've killed innocents, that is everywhere that was possible. SIE helped me in the end but I didn't get to romance her, had a "Liked" status with her, 5 rep. Didn't get to kill Marburg too, but I hear you can do it if you taunt him during the boss fight with him. Killed Omen, killed Brayko, shot that russian businessman character (Brayko's ex boss or something) in the knee and didn't get to expose him (you get to if you have positive rep with him). |

Realy trying to like this game but it's proving quite fucking hard. The game forces you to go guns blazing half the time, which is a problem with me having a stealth based character. And I'm stuck on Brayko, seriously, what kind of retard thought of these bosses?

@VGAdeadcafe
If you are going stealth, why would you kill? You have the B button which gives you a nonlethal takedown, and you can use tranquilizer shots for the ones you really HAVE to shoot. I haven't shot the weapon more than 10 times. If you wait patiently enough, you can find the pattern, and these patterns in most times involve the guard being secluded so you can take him down. Later when you have the invisibility magic, it is just a matter of activating it, and taking the enemies in the middle quietly (the other ones you can take later with melee, if at all). If it wasn't for the retarded AI and clunky animations, you can play this game as stealthy as Chaos Theory.

Stealth should be fully viable as it has a few special perks tied to it, never managed that though as some of the recent missions have forced combat encounters and other stuff.
| Spoiler: |
Remain undetected on five missions for one and only be seen five times for another, first also requires no casualties and the second only five casualties if I remember correctly.
(Might have been those not-so-lethal takedowns as well instead of killing the enemies.)
EDIT: Nearly correct about it.
PerkAcquisitionRequiredCount[13]=5 ;Unseen Presence - Complete this many missions with < 5 kills and no alarm set off.
PerkAcquisitionRequiredCount[14]=5 ;One With the Shadows - Complete this many missions with < 5 kills and no AI sees you.

Is there a way to make bypassing easier? I didn't see a skill for this stuff, and it's freaking impossible to find the 10 paths in 20 seconds.

Sabotage reduces the difficulty of all minigames. I also found 2 sets of gloves that do the same.

Are silencers only for handguns or can i get them with sub machine guns and assault rifle ?
Especially assault rifles since this is the path i intend to take.
Also , how much skills can you max before the end of the game ? I need to know so that i can plan my character better. It may already be too late though since i just finished Saudi Arabia and distributed evenly between stealth , pistols , assault rifles and martial arts.

Silencers are only for pistols. Assault rifles have a special ammo type - subsonic rounds that do the same. You can max out 3 skills.
EDIT: Oh if you mean how many AP do you usually get per game - it really depends - since there are so many perks that give you additional points.

Absolutely fell in love with this game. It's really the next Deus Ex, I'm playing through it the second time, this time as Veteran (previously I played recruit). In the first run I chose "Professional" in most dialogues, now I'm taking Jack Bauer approach.
My choices on the 1st playthrough:
| Spoiler: | Saudi Arabia:
-Let Nasri the weapons dealer live after extorting money from him.
-Spared the Sheik in the end.
Moscow:
-Met up with SIE, she didn't like my personality. Never heard from her again aside from the odd e-mail.
-Told Georgi my name, he betrayed me, never seen him since.
-Spared Sis's life, befriended Albatross and the G22.
-Spared Surkov's life.
-Spared Brayko, Albatross was killed by him.
Taipei:
-Befriended Steven Heck quickly. Met with Hong Shi though he didn't like me much.
-Brought Heck along for a mission where I wanted to be stealthy.
-Befriended Scarlet
-Took the files on the assassination.
-Befriended Omen Deng at the end.
-President lived.
Rome:
-Was defiant to Marburg (some of the best conversations in the game)
-Was friendly to Maddison
-Ended up disarming the bombs, Maddison was killed by Marburg.
-Had shoot-out with Marburg at the museum, he ran away after he lost about 1/2 of his health.
Endgame:
-Sexed up Mina, told her to wait at another safehouse
-Leland offered to join Halbech, refused offer
-Omen told me that Scarlet is assassin of President. Never seen her in the base, but she killed Leland with sniper rifle in the end of the game.
-Found Mina, had the choice for her to shoot Leland, I waited and Scarlet shot him.
-SIE was an ally for the mission
-Killed Parker.
-Killed Darcy.
-Killed Westridge.
-Rode away on the boat with Mina.
|
EDIT:
@FireMaster, I liked AP way more than I did ME. Or ME2 for that matter.

I said it way before the game was released and I still stick by my statement: poor man's mass effect really
the levels are tiny as fuck, perhaps it would be more appropriate for the PSP rather than next gen platforms tbh
IA is laughable, most of the shit you buy or customize doesn't affect anything in the game levels, it really feels like a very poor game beta or alpha stage, no polish at all. and it was delayed so many times...

About mouse shuttering issue.
As far as I've seen, it happens when fps gets somewhat below 60fps, at 50-55 becomes noticeable, if lower, it can get very very bad.
If MaxSmoothedFrameRate is set to 30, same thing will happen only when fps drops below 30 (while being capped at 30 for rest of the game). It surely fixes the issue for machines witch are not that good to run game at constant 60fps, but are good to do that at 30fps.
I also noticed that bSmoothFrameRate from APEngine.ini and two bEnableMouseSmoothing entries from APInput.ini are connected.
If any of them is true while other is false mouse sensitivity will depend from frame rate. Higher framerate, lower sensitivity, lower framrate higher sensitivity. Still, even with both off, the issue with frame shuttering stays.

Here's a questoin. Those that have played MGS4, what are your thoughts, pros cons between the two? I wonder if it's as good as that was. Haven't grabbed it yet. Based on vids I"ve seen, It's like its MGS4 like, heh

Completed it, a few minor bugs but otherwise nothing problematic, nice variation depending on how you handle the situation as well, varied stuff a bit at endgame but both endings proved very similar, Veteran and more self-centered instead of patriotic and duty is probably how I'll handle the next playtrough.
| Spoiler: | |
EDIT: Was never that popular with the women either, should have to improve upon that on the next playtrough as well, only got three quick sessions.
| Spoiler: |
That secretary, Scarlet and Mina, reputation was above five but not much higher aside from Mina which had a score of 8, down a bit due to me talking dirty with Sie and Scarlet and some rude jokes and emails, common sexual harassment actually.
 
|
EDIT: Why did that break? odd.
(EDIT: Spoiler tag now works properly.)
