Haven't had time to try myself yet, but apparently you can power up unpowered computer consoles by shooting them with the stun gun!
Really? Holy shit.

Really? Holy shit.
So,i've just crafted the propulsion system and entered the first zero-g area.
Doing my first playthrough on Nightmare and i'm taking my sweet time(about 7hrs) and if i think about it,i haven't done shit yet but how far am i? less than 1/4?
Yup,exploring the entire lobby,killing all enemies,inventory management and reading every file took longer than i thought.
But i'm actually having a great time here! i was like "wow,7hrs already".
I've turned off quest markers so i don't know where i need to go,getting lost in this game is pretty fun tbh.

It's taken you 7 hours to get to the first zero g area?? Hardware labs right? You've got ages!

Never thought to try that, I used that electrostatic power which didn't work

Hahaaaa I checked into it and it seems I missed out on the
achievement because
Worth it though.
Do No Harm
I made sure to clonk Luka in the head before he naturally died, counting as a human kill. 1 human kill in my stats!

Now i need to re-explore all rooms.
Hm, I would've expected that the electrostatic power would work, too. If the stun gun info is in fact correct.
Since I haven't had a chance to confirm it myself, please take it with a grain of salt ^^

Tried it out, doesn't seem to work. Myth busted.

My quick opinion, it seems to move quicker, less tearing and stuttering, and basically no dead zone in the sticks

I only know that the electrostatic power shuts machines off. Had an awful experience after I created an electro buddy. He kept knocking everything off.
it's for that reason i don't want to upgrade my phantom power

Eh, after that experience, I just do a quick save. If I get one, I try again. I've been able to get new ones everytime.

You'll have a couple of hours to go.
You'll meet Military Operators after your upload of Coral scan data is interrupted. Its crucials to use stun gun against them, hack them (if you have level 4 hacking), or block the operator dispensers with objects

You would think that the designers and engineers of Talos 1 would have thought to put their flammable gas pipes within the wall interiors and not exposed to personnel walkways, especially in places like the Trauma Unit!!
Why does Talos 1 need so much flammable gas traveling throughout the station anyway?

The stun gun actually does work on unpowered computer consoles. Maybe it was because mine was fully upgraded.
"campaign time" is just your current play session time.

They probably didn't think that through.
Notice how there's an abundance of baseball gloves on Talos 1? They must have gotten a lot of shipment of them >

I imagine it's more that it hasn't really been updated from it's days when the US and Russia owned it.

That's explained! It's cuz Harley Grainger brought a bunch of em and signed em and handed em out, but the nerds didn't know what to do with sports mittens.
Ok, platinum is mine, finally. Took me three playthroughs​ total. Completed No Needless run in 4 hours, not that hard, must admit.
My third playthrough was human powers only and killing everyone. For only typhon powers I reloaded my no power save, got one Typhon ability and watched the ending. Very fun platinum.

This objective is bugged for me and won't complete (it just resets when I
let go of Alex's body
Edit: resolved via a save game from about half an hour earlier.
Just tried it on a few, doesn't work. I'm guessing the ones it works on are ones that are attached to generators that you can turn on and off anyways, while others are just permanently broken (like the one in Trauma Bay).
The demo throws enemies at you sooner as well. Like I remember in the demo January telling me about mimics and I'm like, "a little late, Jan, I've already fought four of those things."
I don't think so, I played the demo a couple times as well as the opening section of the full game multiple times, and enemy counts and placements seem identical barring the unscripted nature of them.

The bugs this was released with are a damn shame, because this game should be on all time greatest game lists. I've put in so many hours and it just keeps getting better. I absolutely love it.

Neat interview with the lead designer on Waypoint. Spoilers up to the Crew Quarters section. I definitely appreciated the lack of larger-than-life characters and the complete omission of dialogue trees, Arkane's instincts were dead on there.

Haha I loved coming across that detail in-game.
When I tested it out I tried it on the recycler, fabricator, and computer in the room that I with power controls in Psychotronics. I tried zapping the screens and the power junctions to no avail, but I did have a stun gun with no upgrades.
Got past the first "stage" area I think. This is really scratching that Bioshock itch.
Only complaints so far is I kinda dislike the visual filter they put on when enemies attack you. Combined with their fast movements it makes them hard to see (I mean, I know that's the point, but it's still annoying). Also the enemies so far aren't too interesting in the visual department.
Everything else is sound though. Going

outside the space station was neat.

Just finished after 20'ish hours. I ended up rushing to the end and skipping some of the side missions due to the pretty obnoxious load times (on PS4). They weren't overt until you're tasked with moving around the station, to and from subsections.
The ending was great though.
So everything was a plus except the load times and the somewhat floaty controls.

Make sure to upgrade inventory space, leverage, hacking, combat focus, stealth attacks and faster movement. That will be godlike build and you will wreck everyone. As for typhon I recommend mimic, because there are a lot of places you can't get into without it.
I jumped on the hatch, morphed and went inside. Didn't notice any inv. walls..
Just hit reached Arboretum, played for about 9 hours so far. I am taking my time, heh. Serious Bioshock vibes when I walked into it.
Tell you what I love about this game (one of the many things), every corpse is an actual person with a name and a purpose in Talos 1. I love reading about people in logs and emails etc and then stumbling over their body somewhere else in the station. Sparks my imagination as to how they died and really helps give some life and realism to the entire space station as a functioning place.

Yeah, this is amazing.
Crew Quarters spoiler I guess:
Do I have a bug when I enter there for the first time? Soon as I load in the nightmare attacks me and there isn't much I can do, it one hit kills me. It's like it just spawns in right in the door way. I did make one successful run like crazy but it still immediately caught up and killed me

Yeah it does and the quest objective pops up, right after he kills me lol
I'll try that.

I know it sounds crazy on my end, but I find Poltergeists really cute.
Look at it:
How are they not so cute?

So many god damned load screens in the back half of the game. Maybe it's just an xbox one issue, but fuck bros. So many load screens and for a crazy amount of time too. Might be the worst I've experienced.
Yeah, Poltergeists are cool in my book. Very convinient to get up to places I otherwise can't reach. I don't think they ever did any damage to me.
Also I love how they wanted one more enemy type in the game but didn't have time to make a completely new model. So they just made it invisible and called it Poltergeist ^^
