Is there a type of side quest system or anything, or just straight up main story mission gogogo

Sidequests (some by Chris Avellone. He also helped design side characters, main story missions, and main character arcs)

It's an RPG/shooter. Think System Shock, Deus Ex, etc.

 

[Jb]

I actually have to say I find the fact you can't turn off HUD elements like waypointers, and other shit that's counterproductive to a game about exploration, to be a bigger wrench in the gears than the control issues.

Wait you can't? That's so weird considering Dishonored 2 allowed you to individually turn off every element of the HUD.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I feel like a bunch of people are waiting for those reviews to drop at midnight.

I've been on complete blackout with this one, so I know I am. I'm feeling froggy, but I'm not going to jump without at least knowing it's fairly solid.

 

[SlasherJPC]

There's side-quests in this game. Some of them involve the survivors who are in Talos I

Yep. Read an email. Got a side quest.

What reviews? There were no advance codes sent out. I don't think anything is dropping tonight

 

[Wanderer5]

Can't wait. Will probably be getting some gaming gift cards for my b-day tomorrow to get it, unless it tumbles big time or such heh.

Glad to hear that then, should keep me busy for a nice long while

Does this game ever let you breathe or relax a bit?

That was always my issue with System Shock/Bioshock, it is always one disaster after another, one enemy after another. No time to chill. You never even get to meet another non-crazy human being face to face!

Spoiler tagged answer obviously for those who don't want to know.


edit: I'm quote Rex specifically here but my answer is more general for anyone who has played the game.

TotalBiscuit has a code already so I'd assume others do as well.

 

[Bloodporne]

Wait you can't? That's so weird considering Dishonored 2 allowed you to individually turn off every element of the HUD.

According to a current player's post in the PC Performance thread, there are no HUD options like objective markers etc.

There's also a screenshot posted in response that perfectly illustrates the stupidity of this. A dark-ass room you're exploring with a giant white marker in the middle with your objective's name and (XXm) distance below it. Just fucking no guys...please hopefully they patch in options to remove this. The game is about exploration.

And yeah, even Dishonored 1 letting you disable each HUD segment on its own basically made me think this was kind of a no-brainer for this game.

Recycling is going to be so much fun. I'm going to collect everything, even toilet paper. I'm the king of recycling.

Dude. Game is a collectors wet dream... pick up everything lol

Also can't tell you how many toilets Ive flushed. Ha.

Compare to System Shock 2, enemies don't seem to re spawn SO it should not be a problem here. But at same time this was only from the demo, i can't talk about further in the game.

I don't think enemies re-spawn either.

I've gone back to areas I previously explored and there weren't any new/revived enemies or anything.

 

[Karak]

When's your review coming out? I'd love to see what you have to say about it (hopefully good stuff mostly :v).

Probably tonight as I am now testing the PS4 and PC versions as well for a bit of comparison. PC is giving some of us shits right now though. So...its slowing it down

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Goddamтit. After using VPN Steam is now telling me this:

I've uninstalled everything that is VPN related already. Is there a way to fix this now?

 

[aravuus]

So I assume I should be splitting all the trash I pick up? At first I found stuff like plastic tubing and frayed wire and I figured it'd be a trade-off - either craft something out of these, or split them for some weird materials.

But now I'm finding baseball gloves. And literal trash from garbage bins. Can't think of anything you'd craft from those.

Dude. Game is a collectors wet dream... pick up everything lol

Also can't tell you how many toilets Ive flushed. Ha.

Been throwing (e: and hitting them of course, can't risk anything) stuff around like a maniac during my first hour lol. I love it when games have lots of movable objects scattered around, even if the physics engine is... Something else in this.

If you open Steam's console and type in licenses_for_app 480490, what is the reported package ID?

The junk and a lot of items you pick up in your inventory can be recycled into fabrication materials to craft a lot of useful items (ammo, medkits, weapons, etc...)

 

[Craazyville]

I Prey for the Gods with this game!

 

[Chance Hale]

Mirror tech or complete lack of it is mind boggling, some of the worst of this era. Aliased, not accurate, horrifying.

Weird because I've seen helmets and other objects that seem to reflect the environment and you can move them around and it'll change

 

[Anno]

As in performance on the PC version? Or just odd computer troubles? Most of the early reports seem to show the PC port is solid but obviously everyone is early game.

 

[Sotha_Sil]

Melee combat is vastly improved with KB+M and 60fps. It's like a different game. Mimics go down in a matter of seconds.

I suspected it might from the PC streams, no one there seemed to have any issues.

 

[comshoplesce]

Why is the retail price so low?
Going at £27.99 for game and dlc.

Is this an indication that the game isnt very good?

CDKEYS?

License packageID 163116

I'm from Russia and I've activated steam key for RU region.

Oh haha, splitting in the inventory just meant stack splitting. That's such a weird option to have.

But yeah, thanks, I'll be breaking everything down then.

 

[Turul9]

this looks like dishonored with guns in space.


i could go for that.

Yeah, therein lies the problem -- you can't unlock the game early as the package you activated is runtime-restricted. To complete the region change back to RU, follow the same core steps as before: log out of the mobile app (if necessary) and change your password.

 

[Truant]

Absolutely loving this with KB+M. The navigation and combat just clicked for me.

Alan, item placement is different in the main game. No early shotgun.

 

[Shifty]

Aight, second quesion.

If I get this game, will I end up being attacked or otherwise betrayed by a shelf?

I don't understand the thread title.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Only four hours left !!!!!

That explains why demo progress doesn't carry over

There's a a Typhon enemy called Mimics takes the form of any inanimate object.

The title is a play on "Trust no one. Not even yourself"

 

[bonesmccoy]

GAF, help a guy out.

I'm very much interested in the game, but I didn't like the combat/enemies I saw in those hour-long previews that got uploaded to YouTube a couple weeks ago.

Does the combat improve? New enemies?

Hey JaseC, do you have any idea why I can't even connect to the Steam network while connected to my VPN? Is there a chance they've blacklisted the IP's or something? As soon as I close OpenVPN it connects within seconds.

Nah. It's not a literal reference to the game but just a play on words; an alteration of the meme "Trust no one, not even yourself" so it acts as a nod to the fact that the mimics in the game can assume the form of inanimate objects.

Edit: I'm slow.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Will play when I get home tonight. Sounds good so far.

As you get alien powers and more weapons, the combat becomes much more open.

And yes, there are more than just Mimics and Phantoms in this game.

 

[Anoxida]

aw man I have no idea what skills to level up. Anyone found any skill particularly useful early game?

 

[rtcn63]

Can mimics actually become shelfs tho?

Anyways, people can always make up their own OT titles, i.e. |OT| Stalking Talos-1, Mimicking Praey

Still considering the CDkeys deal seeing as the PC performance seems good.

 

[SUPGUYZ]

Really excited to get this. Have to wait a week since first off, I'm close to beating Persona 5, second, my SO wants to get me it for our anniversary next week. It's nice to see that it's running well on PC

 

[Chance Hale]

It feels so, so much better with a mouse and keyboard. True System Shock 2 successor wooooot

They should implement mouse scroll and clicking for computers tho

 

[JaseC]

Hey JaseC, do you have any idea why I can't even connect to the Steam network while connected to my VPN? Is there a chance they've blacklisted the IP's or something? As soon as I close OpenVPN it connects within seconds.

It's certainly possible that Valve maintains a blacklist of frequently-used VPN IPs considering how far it has gone to discourage the VPN-assisted activation of gifts. Have you tried other services? FlyVPN's 20-minute session limit may be too short a window given how slow the free servers are, however there are a wealth of Asian servers on VPN Gate and VyprVPN is very solid (just remember to cancel your free trial within 72 hours so you're not charged).

 

[Rexatality]

Hacking is a good start.

Like JaseC said, its a play on "Trust no one. Not even yourself"

And Mimics only assume the form of inanimate objects that isn't bolted down (Basically cups, cans, toilet paper, chairs, etc...)

 

[sixteen-bit]

Lol @ the OT subtitle.

 

[Sotha_Sil]

Same, really close to pulling the trigger on this.

man now im thinking maybe I should get this on PC for the framerate...but I want to play on the couch : /
