Lol these are all the Augs that i thought were unnecessary...Never used any of them the first time i played the game. Icarus is the one i deactivated instantly. The ones i used were: 1: Smart Vision - You can pretty much see all secrets/enemies/loot etc. 2: Remote Hacking - Allows you to get past almost all security, lasers, cameras, turrets and so on. 3: Glass Shield Cloaking - Used it some times, it can be very useful for getting past enemies that are camping an entrance.
I picked the Tesla late in the game, and I regreted not picking it earlier. Granted, the basic aug is not much better than the stun gun, but once upgraded being able to knock out 4 targets at once is priceless. Instead, I wasted valuable praxis on the Titan, which may be great for a trigger happy approach but is useless when going stealth
Agreed! With the exception of the remote hacking aug, the new "experimental" augs didn't seem all that necessary. Moreover, part of their basic functionality could be replicated crudely using some of the weapons (i.e. the stun gun), or various items/grenades. The bullet-time aug (I forget it's real name) was actually pretty fun when lining up several sniper shots quickly, but I didn't feel like it was absolutely necessary. Remote hacking was definitely life-changing, in the same way as leg/high jump was (i.e. for exploration, stealth, and overall control of the game space). And the minor XP you get from remote hacking everything adds up quickly. Probably earned me 1 or 2 entire praxis points just with remote hack alone. My short list would be smart vision, leg augment/high jump, remote hacking, cloaking, and the hacking augs.
The Deus Ex series. The games where us 80s kids get to play a serious Inspector Gadget who wasn't an idiot and it didn't cost a million dollars to be that man - in a suitcase. A Smart idea.
Why do you think he looks to have like 2% body fat (on the 10% of his body that's not augments). It says in the game that the energy to recharge the batteries and run the augments is provided by breaking down body fat and the like to convert it to energy. I bet he jumps off buildings to do the landing then does the dash back to the top to do it again and calls it his "diet plan" lol.
Lmao I've never seen the animation where the enemy punches his friend from Adam dodging his haymaker 😂 that's awesome. also damn I love the nano blade I had NO idea it can just blow down doors. That literally skips so many hackings. One thing I discovered was also when you are remote hacking something and you find a really fine line you can't seem to hit you can use nuke software and it will automatically pass it so instead of trying to time 2 very thin lines when ur in a rush u can use 2 nuke softwares real fast. I find em more useful here than hacking doors honestly
Only 5 and 3 are must have augs. 4, 2, and 1 are just "cool" augs that aren't necessary. The augs that are must have are hacking, jump mod, lift heavier things, and rebreather which give you access to 100% of the map otherwise have fun going one mandatory path and being locked out from 50% of the map because you can't access it with the requirements.
Jump mod used to be a must for me, but Icarus Dash pretty much replaced it, at 4:49 you can see me trying to make a jump with the jump aug, but i'm only able to make it up there with Icarus Dash. Downside is it uses energy, but it has many other uses including non lethal takedowns, definitely worth trying it if you haven't tested it out yet.
HollatotheBalla 50% of the map? Like which areas? I always find a valve to shut off the gas in gas filled rooms, so I never saw a need for the rebreather. There's usually always at least two ways to get into an area of the map.
50% of ventilation ducts, but yeah you are right. The fact is that all of us have different ways to play deus ex, this guy (for the clips I see) like to go straight on maps and in this case tesla and nanoblade are must have
Very true, none of the augs are necessary, you don't even need weapons tbh, shameless plug: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X402bDtsI70.html
The Tesla feels almost over-powered ... like you're using a cheat. If this game is played on the "I never asked for this" *permadeath* mode, then even silly things like Icarus Landing System matter *a lot.* I was playing on Permadeath, and I left Koller's hideout through the sewer, and after I climbed to the top of the ladder I fell right back down and died. The next time I played, I definitely activated Icarus. Also, little things like improving bullet-resistance *really* matter on a Perma-death game. On Permadeath, you get really, really sneaky ... and then if you screw up and get spotted, then you get super aggressive since you can't take much damage at all, and dying is a *big* deal.
Thx and it's a nice idea, Top 3 Prosthetic Tools or something. No one will watch it though sadly, my vids don't really get views nowadays, so i just cover the stuff i'd be doing anyway like stealth or things like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vs868yBW4Y4.html
I just started playing this game and had I known I'd be spending half my time just hacking stuff in order to get on with anything I would have spent all my praxis on hacking!
Here's some quick tips to make hacking much easier: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JAvjq_2s0BY.html Honestly once you get used to it the hacking becomes really fun.
Wish Icarus landing didnt break first person camera. Its kinda immersion breaking for me to enter a cutscene at every drop. Also the animation starts like half a second late and then shoes you falling again from the top.
I will say the Tesla seems like a good addition. The rest... not my style of game play. I like to Metal gear solid in this game. You usually find me in a vent. lol Nice to know what those augs do now, I've not tried them.
I'm super late but fuck it All the augs are fun and good dependent on your place style and how often you plan on using them the some people might not ever need any of the stealth augs some people might not ever need any of the combat augs hell Some people might not ever need any of the regular hacking augs because they multi tool everything and then there's people that use all the augs and just swap in-and-out whenever they feel like it
Been such a long time since i played, but i'm pretty sure it's part of a side mission, you have to go back to your apartment to get something/meet someone and then these guy ambush you.
Both are really useful for multi takedowns Reflex can do up to 3 if they are close 2:23 and Tesla can take out 4 even if they are spread out and can set up a mech unit for a takedown 1:29
In that case, you might enjoy my full stealth run, no augs, no takedowns, no items, no nothing ;) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X402bDtsI70.html
