    I did 70% of researches on my first playthrough. I got stuck on that map with where Deus Ex Machina and gunships fight each other, respawning. I was popping them for 10k each for about an hour with my minigun because I didn't know where to fucking go :x

    I also leveled at least 10 times there.

    Commander, I think.

    Yeah that level's a bit of a bitch. Near the Deus Ex near the downed spaceship is a set of descending stairs and a way forward. Through the way forward is a base with roughly 20 guys in it, you kill them and hack a computer or two which then opens up an elevator which is at the bottom of the aforementioned stair case. Once inside you meet The Skeleton King who tasks you with killing 20 human(oids). I managed to do this after having cleared the base out and with the minimal reinforcements setting by killing a group of 3 ladies in white, looking away, then upon looking back finding them respawned. After you do this you go back to the King and he opens up a teleporter where once through you have the option of siding with your mentor or the faction.

    The level after is a confusing maze of an urban area where there are roughly three enemies throughout it, the goal is to find your mentor's teacher and get some answers. After talking to him the next level is just the home base where you have to mow down everyone eventually killing the commander. Then you have to replay the game a few times changing which side you choose in order to get the 'true' ending which apparently is just this. So all in all you didn't miss much by quitting when you did.

    70%? Are you sure? In 3 playthroughs(part of the first playthrough was played on invasion, rest on normal) I don't think I even got to half and after some I just kept getting the same research drops, my game was unpatched and I managed to find out what to do p. quickly once I found the base with the fed guy and hacked the way to the Immortal King creature :smug:

    If you side with the commander you just have to kill some Jian faggot in a p. straightforward level filled with them... apparently they have a separate base for some reason?(spoiler: you have to kill Rimanah anyway) you also talk to the legendary godwolf(it's mentioned a few times) in this one, who IIRC ends up dying and disappearing p. quickly

    I'm guessing you get the same reward for normally siding with the mentor in the ending dramaticpopcorn described

    I saw mention of some free DLC. Have they done much of anything with this game in the intervening two or three months since it's release?

    I stopped paying attention to this game after this thread but I didn't know they already fixed the game and moved on to DLC. :O

    Bought the game - it's a fairly well made piece of shit, IMO. It's far more like Borderlands than Deus Ex though, and unlike Borderlands, the combat seems pretty compelling so far. I have great sympathy for any game where human enemies actually have the decency to DIE after being shot in the face with an assault rifle.

    But good lord, the respawns! The respawns, man! I thought the game would be like STALKER where you'd have to hoard resources and every hit was lethal, instead I've taken to firing full-auto pretty much constantly because of RESPAWNS! What kind of bot death match is this?!

    Still, decent effort. Requires tons of patching and probably a fan translation or two, though.

    So, after finishing Human Constipation I decided to give this game a try. Holy shit, it's intense, an actual non-popamole and hard FPS?? I'm surprised.

    I have the latest patch, but I have some questions that you could solve: I'm playing on Hardcore and the Respawn set to "Normal", but there's an option to limit these respawns. How exactly are "limited"? I mean, I guess it reduces the enemy waves to a fixed number, but I'm not sure. Also, I don't know if that's a bug or due some sort of fatal wound my character received, but I'm unable to heal to full health: Even if I use the medikit, there's always a small portion of the health bar that's not filled (I have 120 hp but I can only get 90 for some reason). By the way, is there a way to fix these fatal wounds? And to increase the extremely small font size used for the texts?

    I think fatal wounds are permanent "irreversible lessons" as the game says.

    You should wait for your medkit to charge before using it.

    I think the game shines more in coop because it allows more min maxing. A 4 player campaign could feature some awesome builds.

    They didn't even finish the SP but they didn't forget to add MP mode. Even DeusEx added it later in a patch..

    I already know that, but I still can't refill all of my character's health no matter how long I wait and how many times I use the medikit.

    I read about this somewhere. I believe it is related to your difficulty setting - EYE being the buggy piece of crap that it is, they don't just shorten your HP bar by 20%, they make it impossible to heal the last 20% on higher difficulty settings.

    Alter difficulty and see what that gives you.

    You should see the player character animations in coop, especially while climbing ladders.

    All in all, as buggy and unpolished the game is, its a really interesting concept which wasn't present since Deus Ex. I hope these guys learn something out of this and make a (spiritual) sequel and make that fucker shine like E.Y.E should have shined.

    I know it's just wishful thinking on my part and that if they ever make a sequel it'll be a popamole.

    There's the appropriate research, you'll likely need to go through the campaign more than once or grind like no tomorrow to get it.

    what the fuck, I found what appears to be another mentor corpse on that map with the portal you use to resume the plot, you know, where you find the mentor and there's some player character monologues

    it was also draining energy on certain areas, which never happened to me on this map (wasn't the perpetual energy drain bug you get sometimes when you die either, more like when you talk to the synicle trio)

    how do you trigger this? p. sure the corpse and drain effect wasn't there until now, I'm halfway through a fourth playthrough, lost all of the "ending-related actions"

    Yup, I tried at first "ghost" difficulty and... well... bloody hell over my humble fps skill. Hardcore is nicely hardcore enough, though...

    Shit game. Not worth 2.50. Just pirate and see if you are into these kinds of things.

    EDIT: Probably being too harsh. Will try again to check if there is change in opinion.

    Bit odd, but a fairly large patch just landed for this.
    http://store.steampowered.com/news/8079/
    Haven't played with it with the patch so I can't say what noticeable impact (If any) the AI improvements had, but nice to see they're still supporting it. Game's weird as hell but kinda cool.

    Interesting. Might as well try it again now since I don't have anything else to play.

    Kind of regret not getting this when it was like 2.50 bucks, DX HR for one didn't exactly feel all that augmenty, more like 'battery powered sleepytimesy'.
