Yeah, a lot of game companies use the same collection of sound effects a lot. I still hear various scream sound-effects (heard one in DXHR last night, too) that I heard to excess in the starting level of Unreal. Don't hear the 'Wilhelm scream' much, or at all, though. I guess that one's reserved for TV/movies. Edit: Actually, you do hear the Howie scream (was actually in Unreal). It was the Wilhelm scream I was thinking of. | ||

Load times aren't horrible for me (PC). A little annoying, but not horrible. | ||

Game length spoiler: + Show Spoiler + Took me slightly above 18 hours according to the save game, but took me 21 hours realtime because of reloads, insane load times, an extraordinary amount of CTDs, and unskippable intrologos. Fuck that shit is annoying. Think I did every side mission because I wasted a ton of time exploring and talked to pretty much everyone I could find with a name other than civilian and hacked into everything (I hate that minigame so much). Still got through the game much faster than any reviewer claims regarding game length. I did play the leak though so I knew my way around all of Detroit. Played a very efficient stealthy assassin type with max hacking so pretty much always took the fastest approach to getting through the separate mission areas. Avoiding enemies that aren't in the way, and shooting enemies that are, in the head with a silenced pistol, instead of wasting time regenerating energy for takedowns or getting pinned down. It's pretty funny actually how quickly you can empty a room with enemies by simply shooting one of them from some decent cover and getting the others to investigate the body so you can shoot them too from the same spot. Very ammo efficient as well. I was planning to abandon stealth originally since it's kind of easy, but the load times, bad mouse controls and deus ex difficult quickly made me reconsider.  I wouldn't say it comes even close to being as good as the original, but it's pretty good for a console style 'shooter with dialogue' (TM). It's definitely not an RPG at all sadly, but it beats the neverending shit out of similar games like Mass Effect 2 at least. | ||

I'm taking it nice and slow milking all the EXP as much as possible. Trying to finish the level with Ghost and Smooth Operator and then going back and doing takedowns for max EXP and items. | ||

Shes with the 'working girls' in the street between the Police department and your character's apartment (cinus building or something') I believe the street is called Grand road or something. There are 2 groups of them in that section. Just pull your cursor over the girls untill you see a name, rather than an occupation. | ||

Can somebody reply to this and tell me in spoilers what to do? :3 + Show Spoiler + Stay away from her and shoot her whenever possible. I used a sniper rifle with laser pointer, didnt take too long to kill her. if she charges you, rush around a corner to avoid her explosive attack. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I think I know who patient X is... the dude who doesn't need medicine for augs  . I'm in the back alley of the police station reading Meghan's report where she says she "betrayed someone for the sake of science." This coupled with her having something to say to you in the elevator before shit went down seems like a dead giveaway for me. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong. | ||

By the way, what % would you say I'm up to if I'm up to her? + Show Spoiler + not exactly helpful but when I got to her, she immediately bugged out and got stuck in a wall. headshots are easy when they dont move :D first boss was another story, died at least 30 times to his stupid homing grenades and grab punch | ||
