Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Deus Ex: This is the old thread. Don't post here.

I completely forgot about the soy packets. And I guess HR also includes those big tubs of powdered protein too. But a big part of the Deus Ex diet are pilfered chocolate bars and half-empty beers (even if the HR bars are more akin to a Clif bar than a Snickers).
Here's an example of one of the ads. I have yet to see them, but I haven't played much since the last patch came out.

OMG the horror.

Nobody is calling for a boycott, but it does piss some of us off, given the amount of advertising bombarding us as it is. Paid gaming is one of the last bastions that is ad-free, and even it is clearly under attack.
If you don't care enough about it to block it, cool. I care enough about it that I want it blocked. Hopefully, that is also cool. If not, you're a silly goose.

This is how preorder exclusives, paying cash for cheat codes, rights-stripping EULAs, overpriced map packs, online DRM, and all manner of other industry bullshit happens.
AND SHE WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME
It was a pretty vile thing Eidos Montreal did. Let's go make snide comments to all of the annoying fangirls that aren't bothered by this.
This is like a Purity First propaganda video. "Augged Monster Massacre at Local Club!"
i fucking love that he uses the typhoon to launch a quarter into the jukebox.

OH WAIT .
so yeah My jensen took them all out.
First playthrough I was too slow in both attempts to kill off the guards (I was sitting back and sniping, and not too aggressively), so she died.
At that point, every Belltower guard died.
Every single one.
Mostly by silenced pistol, sometimes by combat rifle, a few times by grenade.
But every one of those motherfuckers was going down.
I went soft on the Harvesters until I found her body in their morgue, at which point I started slaughtering them too.

Oh boy, i got really pissed off there.
and when
Yeah, I'll admit it.
It was my lowest hour.
Honestly, after the second attempt, I figured it was scripted and just moved on.

It's even better when you hear the other ones talking about him getting pissed off about it.

Oh man, and I didn't realize you could punch civilians. The concierge at my apartment building got cold cocked for giving me 'tude about my mirror.
And I got to complete Cloak and Daggers this round through since all the bad guys spawned in the correct spot. Man,
On the side, I'm starting my pacifist/sneaky run. I'm also trying to get the "take-down" and "knock-out" achievements, as well. Should I be okay if I sucker punch an entire room and not get seen (ala no "alarmed" status for any of the enemies)? Because I completely did that for the first mission and didn't get either ghost or smooth operator, so I'm a little concerned.
Wait wait what?
There's a guy who just keeps showing up?
EDIT: Aaaaah, okay.
What do you mean pacifist run? Do you mean no killing or no violence? I went no killing and got both achievements easily. There are TONs of opportunities to knock people out. I wouldn't worry about it.
Don't worry about it
There's a few places with large groups of enemies that I made a point to gas grenade when i was worried I might not get the knock out achievement my first playthrough. suffice to say one large group of people gassed was enough to put me over the top of those I just so happened to have knocked out previously.

As far as the achievements are concerned, people knocked out via gas grenades/mines count toward "Consciousness is Over-rated" but do not count towards "Opportunist." People knocked out via takedowns count toward both (but killing them won't count toward the "Consciousness" achievement, obviously).
I've gone through the first mission several times, and I've never managed to snag Smooth Operator at the end. Not sure if I'm just botching it without noticing, or if some missions it's not possible in. And I'm not certain, but I think those conversation boss confrontations (e.g. Zeke Sanders on the first mission) force you to forfeit the Ghost bonus. The few times I've paid attention to the bonuses during those levels, I haven't seen them pop after a conversation boss but I could have easily lost that before the actual confrontation.
