Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Usually before boss fights you have heavy weapons,ammo lying around you.

Upgraditis Typhoon, helpful in Boss battles

I'm not using shotgun, don't like it. Always stay clear of it in every game that provides it.

 

[masach315]

Shotgun is not liked 'cause it is effective only at close range. And Boss Fight in Deus Ex is where you will just find Shotgun effective. Here, 'stealth' is nothing and even if heavy weapons are effective, they are not for everyone and everyone like them either.

I find Deux Ex is a beautiful game where you can be 'stealthy', 'noisy', effectively use 'heavy weapons' and effectively use 'medium' and 'small weapons' alongwith with the environment surrounding you

Ok, guys how did you finish the China mission? The Hengsha part.

Did you sneak past all those army personnel or what?

Please post your approach (use spoiler obviously)

Spoiler

For me, I sneaked into that vent and used sniper rifle to kill them all. There were 16 personnel and I had plenty of sniper ammo.

Poke head out of vent, kill one and go back, wait 2-3 mins and repeat. The bug is that, enemy don't enter vents

^ i sneaked passed them. Stealth FTW!

 

[Soumik99]

I played it again.. xD and now with 100% no kill except bosses achievement. Stealth FTW indeed!

^ i sneaked passed them. Stealth FTW!

How?!!!
You must have waited in the vent for long time, I tried to poke my neck once and was spotted. Then I killed 'em all

 

[vamsi_krishna]

Same here.. sneaked out. Found couple of vents. and then.. the sofa like things on the right side of the hall took care of the rest.

It took me couple of tries.But, nothing hard.

 

[rhitwick]

well, killing gives me XP... is that bad?

 

[vamsi_krishna]

Sneaking past gives you more. After you get past a check point or something... the game will reward you for the enemies you sneak past. Not just that XP. But also, at the end of the chapter you will get hefty bonus.

 

[axes2t2]

If its your first time play as the situation unfolds.

2nd,3rd you will find it easy to do an all stealth playthrough.

 

[rhitwick]

I generally do not play one game twice....

Nice pics rhitwick.
I play Resident Evil 5 five times, Dead Space 2 four times.

 

[Soumik99]

^xD @inventory.. death dealer huh? Try playing on hard and you will die with 2 shots xD. just saying..
I slightly feel the shooting is not optimized as it should be(especially machine guns/rifles), so stealth and one 10mm(if you do want to kill) is the best way to traverse the levels.. (gas mines/emp grenades are also very handy). again, its just my opinion..

 

[vamsi_krishna]

Rhitwick, whats your monitor's aspect ratio?


Btw, last three pics seem like, Jensen is making love. Reminded me Brokeback Mountain.

totally! xDDDDDD

 

[rhitwick]

^xD @inventory.. death dealer huh?

I did not understand why are you laughing?!!!

Rhitwick, whats your monitor's aspect ratio?

My monitor resolution is 1440*900 but I'm playing the game in much lower resolution as in full resolution it just slows down too much.

Btw, last three pics seem like, Jensen is making love. Reminded me Brokeback Mountain.

LOL, ya...

 

[Soumik99]

Its just that your inevntory makes Jensen look like a walking storehouse of ammunition and heavy weaponry, while there is no pistol .. thats why it made me ...umm smile a bit..(exaggerated with the smiley.. :/) nevermind.

 

[rhitwick]

Pistols are not helpful. They make noise, not much lethal and less bullets.
I heavily use Sniper, PESP gun and Combat rifle (in that order) and heavy rifle only for boss fights.

I'm using stealth mode only when its really necessary. Sneak past an enemy is not at all my motto. If I'm not killing it, I must hit it unconscious (and that is for all enemies in a level, all workstations must be hacked, all cameras and biometric points must be hacked)
