FUCK, someome put a fucking virus on my looking glass, when I tried to touch to calibrate it played a fucking screamer. Which one of you faggot nerds in the Hardware Labs did this shit, fuck you queers

WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE SO MANY FUCKING CHAIRS?

Oh boy, I sure hope none of the toilets is a mimic!

Alright, these fucking mimics, why don't we bundle all the furnature together and cover them with GLOO or cover them with with sheets or something? If something moves under that we know what to shoot, fuck these black slimey things.

Also, if you are unsure about an object, try hitting it with one of the nerf crossbows those idiots have been toying around with, the mimics seem to get baited out by the slightest disturbance.

Just made it to the GUTS, but then I realized that December wants me to go back to Neuromod Development to get some kind of key to Alex's escape pod. Don't really want to backtrack through GUTS and Psy again right now. Can I do the December sidequest later?

Hey did anyone see Morgan's recent test footage? Dude just hid behind a chair right in front of everyone like they couldn't see him or something. I think the simulations have made him retarded. I should call HR.

Mimic neuromod.

>>377213443
Pretty sure it's to test whether Morgan still has his alien neuromods
If he did, he'd mimic the chair

>>377213443
TL;DR:
The guy who is in charge of clearing Morgan's mods installs blank ones for that day, which aren't removed post-test because they're still blank

For anyone who beat the game, since they made that shitty ass typhon material infusion mechanic what is better in the long run - scanning stuff or turrets? Turrets seem pretty fucking worthless since even normal phantom can murder them in like 3 hits but sometimes they work pretty nice, there's probably a location with shitload of them somewhere and most psy skills are whatever anyway

>>377215708
I know, but I don't know what's worse, that the love interest chick yells at January to check all of them in a discussion about how Typhon break containment or the fact there was one in the post credits scene.

Duking it out with typhon while this was blaring was pretty great.

>>377207828
Yes. Mimics will hide as larger things.

>>377215536
no, I just kept hearing it and thought it sounded cool

Removed trauma system because of playtesters:

>Concussion - Reduced psi capacity || Reduced resistance to psychic and fear attacks || Blurry vision
Use Brained pills or visit a Medical Operator. Neuromod installation also removes concussions.

>Fracture - Movement impaired || Cannot sprint
Use a Skeletal Repair Kit or visit a Medical Operator.

>Hemorrhage (aka Laceration or "Bleeding")
>Take extra damage from physical attacks || Sprinting causes damage
Use Coagulating Gel or visit a Medical Operator. Trauma diminishes over time.

>Third Degree Burns - Reduced maximum health
Use Dermaweb Skin Graft or visit a Medical Operator.

>Blind - Impaired vision || Reduced accuracy with firearms
Effect is temporary.

Let's spam Arkane so that they bring them back.

I am not a mimic.

You can set up an amazing death fort in Deep Storage with a bunch of turrets. But other than that, they're kinda meh.
Except when a Technopath or whatever the giant floating death things were picks them up and starts shooting you with them.

>>377219330

>Mrs.PuffOhNeptune.png

>>377219501
Yeah. It's especially effective when you read about someone, and then come across their "phantom".
Those are really unnerving.

Speaking of turrets, I was kinda sad I could never access the server the Turrets use so you can rewrite what defines a "Typhon" from a "Human."
Imagine setting it to shoot everyone/thing it sees or ignoring Typhons, only shooting each other, etc.

Normal phantom drops: organs, food, medkit/psi hypos, junk, etc.

Is nightmare mode just increased damage and healthbars in typical Bethesda fashion? I think I'm good with hard, even then there was a hump I had to get over.

I can't make a thread

>>377220998
I don't get the damage in this game at all, sometimes a shitty mimic can rip out half your hp in no time and sometimes shit just dies a horrible death without resistance, no damaged suit debuff in both cases

>>377221073
no shit, nobody can

im about to buy it, gimme some tips

>>377221107
Combat focus has been a lifesaver but yeah, damage in this game feels super random.

Also the pistol quickly sucks ass, I don't even know why I still have it.

>>377221390
Shooting explosive barrels and mimics

>>377221107
I've played on hard and, in my experience, as long as you start a fight with the upper hand it's pretty easy to get out without a scratch. If I get caught by surprise I can easily lose 50% or more of my healthbar.

GIVE ME MY IMAGES BACK

WHICH ONE OF YOU NIGGERS DID THIS

>>377217353
The game has a hording problem as it is. I don't know if taking up even more item slots would fuck over other builds; investing in suit upgrades would be a must just to hold all those kits and pills when you need it.

>>377221562
Me.

Does shotgun get better after you get gun damage perks and upgrade it? Right now it feels like a shitty wrench unless you fight shit like electrophantoms and cannot close in

>>377221649
It does, but you have to consider each enemy is weak to specific weapons/powers. Shooting a technopath with a shotgun won't do shit, for example, but it works great against phantoms and weavers.

So I just learned you could use other typhon powers will shapeshifted.

I was going to get this game but Jim Sterling, a video game critic with whom I have the greatest of respect, gave the game a 5/10. Jim is an intelligent man and his reviews are almost as good as his "Jimquisitions" and so my interest in this game is gone.

This is a Looking Glass

>>377223694
That what's the point in the first place?

>>377223467
A Mimic can't imitate stickiness and would need to find a way to apply adhesive to the other mimic.
>>377223694
Even at the very start of the game, you can tell they can't because if they copy a cup full of coffee, they only copy the cup and not the coffee.

>>377223963
What I mean is you don't need two mimics for that. If one mimic mimics an object that has a sticky note already on it then the second mimic is redundant.

>>377224017
But they coffee itself is a liquid and mimics, as far as we know, can't mimic liquid or gas.

Why are there two identical sticky notes on the lunchroom trashcan that both say "not a mimic"

>>377224082
why not just mimic the entire room including the furnishings

>>377224201
Save it for the sequel.

>>377224082
Correct, but they can only imitate one object at a time.

You know the body-horror-looking game, Scorn? I'm pretty sure that's gonna be the plot-line. The living facility wants to die and creates a body to carry out that job.

Arkane could have added a group of mimics that will produce a Weaver if you don't kill them fast enough. Such a missed opportunity.

Including the stack of sticky notes.

The """professional""" critic response to this game genuinely has me dumbfounded. Gamespot complained that he got a bad ending because he couldn't be bothered to rescue a lady by getting her medicine.
Sterling complained that you can build your character wrong in a game that you can beat without building your character at all.

It's in one of the videos in psychotronics. Mimics will stab a "chosen one" multiple times in speed that is faster than light till it turns into a Weaver.
