Err whoops sorry

1942

Yes. The game does a fine job of keeping track of all the crap you drop on the floor. I’ve had stuff stay in front of the gas station/store in Detroit throughout the entire game.

1943

I don’t understand Qt3’s spoiler threads - I just looked there, and there was practically nothing there that couldn’t be posted here with a minimum of effort of hiding what one was talking about.

I’d assume spoiler threads were shock full of endings and the like, and if they aren’t and people use them while playing, how the heck do you avoid being spoilered by what other people write?

1944

But he didn’t post any spoilers? He was just asking general gameplay questions - don’t those belong here?

1945

aye, thats kinda my issue with spoiler threads here, and what I don’t understand

1946

Some people completely flip out over things that some others don’t consider spoilers. It’s easier to have DMZ spoiler thread than to derail with constant discussions about who the asshole is or why such and such was a spoiler.

1947

As the pattern usually goes on QT3 with big-name releases, we’ll probably end up with three threads–

The pre-release discussion thread (this one).
The I’m playing it! thread (spoiler tag stress-test).
The I’ve finished it spoilerama! thread.

…followed by requests for a Deus Ex forum to put all these threads.

1948

okay, I guess I understand that, but what is this thread for then once the game is out? “Should I buy it” “is it good”, “Does it work well on the ps3” questions?

edit: Zylon beat me to it - I’m guessing this thread is effectively dead then, I just don’t understand why this isn’t the “I’m playing it” thread now then?

editedit: And, the “Im playing thread” WILL spoil things, as I understand it

1949

Thank you very much, that did the trick!

1950

Man those would be spoilers!

1951

IMHO Flyinj’s comments were general and are exactly the kind of thing people on the fence want to know about the game - mechanics and general feel. And thus appropriate for this thread. Spoilers are when you start talking mission specific strategies, events, and so on that would impact someone’s future enjoyment of the game.

1952

It sure looks nice, though performance is less than optimal with a 1GB GTX 460. Or maybe I need to tweak the mouse settings. And even on normal difficulty it’s pretty hard.

EDIT: Read some posts on the game forums and turned on Triple Buffering. Game runs smoothly now. Go figure. I don’t even know what triple buffering does, really, but I’m glad it does it.

1953

Yeah, I really didn’t want to go in the spoiler thread to ask my questions, as I didn’t want to get anything spoiled for me just to get game play answers.

Can I just get them in here from someone who knows? You can spoiler tag how to turn on the stealth enhancement aug I purchased if someone who hasn’t played yet doesn’t want to know the button for it…

And if not, are we allowed to discuss any of the general game systems in here? Or do I have to risk getting the game ruined for me in the other thread just to talk about them?

1954

LOL! :-D

1955

I so very badly want the takedown button to be the same as the generic interact button. I have gotten killed multiple times by spamming the “E” key while trying to do a takedown.

1956

Take your button spoilering away from here, you knave!

1957

What, there’s BUTTONS in the game? You bastard, now it’s spoiled for me!

1958

about the controls

And the tap vs hold thing is easy to do wrong as well.

Spoiler tags for those who think saying more then “good” or “bad” is revealing too much.

1959

I am running an e8400 OCed to 4ghz and a GTX 275…any guess on how this will run?

I know that’s a relatively silly question; just wondering if someone with a similar setup is out there running it.

1960

But then you wouldn’t be able to takedown-kill people that you can also talk to.
