    I bought this game called Caster because it was $1 and it looked fun.

    Turns out it's awful. But it was $1. So I don't feel too bad about it.

    But you feel some badness? Say, a dollar's worth of bad?

    It's okay, buddy. Buyer's regret happens to all of us.

    If the stealth in Deus Ex proper is like the tutorial stealth part, I am going to suck at it and should not try.

    It isn't.

    Stealth in the tutorial is a pain for everyone. Stealth in the main game usually ends in a prod to the back and a sense of satisfaction.

    Or hilarious failure.

    Or, if you're a bit of a bastard, a bullet in the brain. Love the silenced sniper rifle.

    I've been playing Metro 2033 and I keep dying on this one part, I'm in the Dead City level split up from Bourbon and trying to make my way to the hotel. I get to this one part where there's at least 6+ of whatever those animal things are. I've tried hiding and letting them come to me but they always manage to break my gas mask which kills me, or I've tried running out into the street and running/gunning but they manage to swarm me there. Any tips?

    I'm playing on Ranger Easy, was going to do hardcore but didn't feel like getting frustrated. And it's still quite difficult.

    Love the game though, it is quite atmospheric and scary too, like the part above when I'm just struggling to survive. Though now I'm stuck.

    Well, I'll have to brush up on my game, haven't played it much since my son was born in August, but I'd be glad to hop into Mumble sometime and do some sparring. Just let me know when you're available, and we can try to get something set up.

    The baton will KO someone with a shot to the head from behind or while they are zapped, iirc. Learning to hit well with it will save you a lot of prod charges.

    Of course, the same trick works with a baton given decent low tech, with proper aim. Just a little thinner a margin of error, and missing doesn't give you a free guaranteed followup.

    It does have multi but I've never tried that. Sniping is pretty tricky in the game, you gotta account for the speed of the bullet and the wind velocity as well as the actual distance. Then there's the noise factor. Because you're alone, you gotta take the enemy out one by one. Or avoid them all together until yo've reached a safe spot to take out your target.

    Its also got grenades and regular rifles/pistols. Knives too if memory serves me rightly. So camping is extremely difficult to do in multi.
