ignore this post, just get the minigun, stock up on bullets and facerape like its 1999 and you're playing a cooler version of doom 2.

Dont bother levelling or doing multiple playthroughs, play it once, have assloads of fun, kill a bunch of filthy jihan and after all that go read ubik by P.K. Dick

because it takes some time and a bit of effort to make get into it plus it is rough on the edges but once you get passed it you will find an amazing game with a lot of depth.
most "critics" don´t have the talent or passion to do something like that since they aren´t real into video games and just jumped onto the hype train.

>>382205182
No, he will not. It's an FPS with leveling mechanic and money. You kill people, get xp and money, spend xp and money on upgrades and abilities which are all explained perfectly clearly when you hover your mouse over them. I never understood why people make these confusing tutorial images. It's a fucking FPS where you shoot some guys.

They're going to need to know more than how to get medits and cyber jump though. Trying to hack with low level implants and without knowing the proper technique is extremely difficult if not impossible. Knowing what weapons have armor piercing is a must for higher levels. There's tons of little details that make playing eye less tedious than it has to be. Sure the guide can be overwhelming but every bit of it is beneficial for a new player.

If you ever played an FPS you can probably figure out that some guns are better vs. tough enemies. In fact, figuring out which weapons are better in what situation is one of fun parts about playing an FPS!

It's a clunky broken mess, and I love it. It's like somehow all of it's faults make the game an even better experience, which sounds incredibly stupid but once you get over the steep learning curve you get absolutely absorbed. It also occupies a weird spot in my heart because I played through it during a rough emotional period in my life, so listening to the music makes me feel feels.

If you like cult immersive and atmospheric fps vidya, play it. It's one of the most unique experiences in gaming and it's worth trying it out once in your life. Just play the demo, but it's incredibly cheap on steam.

Maybe I've bought into the whole mystical hype that surrounds it and the memes, but I was genuinely surprised by what I played.

You can alter their spawn rate and difficulty in the settings if they get too annoying. Just be aware doing so means you're a broken leg jian

>>382209676
You can tweak the respawn frequency in the options.

>>382209676
Because they respawn. You can tune the speed of respawn in AI settings to your liking. Personally, I like it, forces me to be really aggressive. If you want to be a sneaky sniper though, might not be the best idea.

This is one of those games made for very certain kinds of people who know exactly what they want in a game. The thing about critics is that they just sort of have to play just about every video game, even if they have different preferences.

It's not uncommon for a genre or franchise to struggle with scores in some review circles because of that. Sonic is a good example - critics shit all over Sonic (though not without precedent) even though there's players who swear by how good they are.

My point is E.Y.E. is one of those "weird" games a critic might not see the positive sides to.

I'd say God Hand is a good example of that. If you know what it is, and you're into Platinum/Clover type games, it's one of the best things they've put out.

If you're a journalist forced to play a game outside of your understanding or influence... none of the design choices will make sense to you at all and you'll hate it.

Why would you call your ISP for something you have to do in your router configuration, something that is 100% the user's responsibility?

>>382213251
They have retarded draconian policies and refused to let me do it myself. Even tried to say they couldn't do it at all.

Just started playing this

How good would a melee only build be? I equipped all my slots at the start with yesod

The ost is freaking good and add a lot to the game atmosphere.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR07XNZCWgM

>>382213336
Do you know what port forwarding is? It's something your router does, which sits in your home, which the ISP does not have any control over unless you're using some shitbox with built-in backdoors.
You can just go and buy a $30 router, connect to it with a cable, type 192.168.0.1 in your address bar (usually) and set everything up the way you want it.
Essentially, port forwarding bridges the gap between your local area network (which isn't accessible to the outside world except through open ports) and your ISP.

>>382213352
Not viable at the start. You're too slow, too frail, too weak. Go wth guns first, gain some brouzoufs, keep levelling melee without relying on it. Upgrade your legs. Once you're burly enough to be able to use light armor and not die, and fast enough to zip from enemy to enemy, you can think about doing it.

>>382213352
You need some levels under your belt
Don't forget to use your brozouf to upgrade all your cyber body shit

>>382213352
Not as viable as one would hope in the early game, but once you get some cyberlegs and adrenaline pumps you'll be able to take shooty dudes on with more confidence.
Remember that holding RMB blocks bullets at the cost of stamina, and you can hold LMB to charge your attacks (unless you're using the hammer) for more damage. Locational damage is the same as with guns, so aim for the head if possible.
The damocles (exploding bigass sword) is small enough that you can carry the biggest sniper rifle available to you at the start along with it, though you'll only need that once you get into the Blade Runner level.
This is also being written from SBO/Master difficulty with everything as high as it can go, so if you're on a lower difficulty, melee will probably work out even better since you're not getting constantly headshotted by aimbot AI with -1 seconds of reaction time.

You can still definitely try it without getting cybered up, but it might be a bit disappointing if you compare it with the sheer killing power of the Sulfatum minigun or something. It really shines when you get gud at closing distances and can use it as an all purpose combat style.
There is one part (and another later on) where you have to guard a guy from hoards of enemies whose only ranged attack are some horribly inaccurate fireballs (or guns, later), and swinging the Damocles around like a madman is both surprisingly effective and cathartic.

I actually had that happened early on. I think the first mission, the one where the master tells you to be stealthy, you take one step and an enemy across the map sees, and he complains about it.
During that mission, I must've looked around for a way to get up to an area for 2 hours, before finally just hugging the wall until I found something. What's with the ladders being so hidden. Am I just blind to ladders?

"Schizophrenic" is about right. Hardly anything about it 'gels' logically, but if FPS + Cyberpunk blows your skirt up, this is one of the best titles to indulge that 'techno-psychosis' feeling.

Just expect to walk away with more questions than answers, it's even worse than HL2 in that regard.

I suggest roping a few friends into it, its a fun co-op experience -- and incidentally, you can play the solo campaign as co-op, or just do each location as a standalone mission.

But don't buy into the "up to 32 players" bullshit, the engine can only reasonably handle 4 or 5 players tops.

>>382221673
Playing solo you at least get the chance to look around and actually read what the characters are saying, so you can at least partially figure out the plot and appreciate the atmosphere.
