I'm really enjoying this, even though I am hooning it through. I've now planted the and it is kind of shitty in terms of overall narrative and dialogue but mechanically it's real fun.

went through the first floor window and had to time taking the three goons there down to almost perfection.Though one had clipped the environment donu imagine his patrol was off which presented a problem.

I massively biggered up stealth at that point. Decided not to reload the checkpoint (unlike the first mission) and went into combat mode. That was where I discovered that combat is more enjoyable in this one than HR.

It may have helped that I had also picked up a well hidden tacticul shotgun just earlier!

Fuck me I've finally made some progress! Finding the Aug fixing guy was hard but doing anything else was fucking nails - still got a couple of side missions on the go. Going heavy on hacking early doors.

Getting into seeing him was a pain in the arse to do full stealth. Had to revert to checkpoint a number of times.

For sure, I ended up just running and hiding past a load of goons until I reached the lift.

It's certainly fun enough to be troubling the list.  Anyone else found the shotgun? more like shotfun.

I went non-lethal in the mission so I wasn't particularly looking for one! Found it tucked away in an apartment with a lot of strange and interesting stuff...

I really like it, dunno whether im just missing stuff but Im 6 hrs in and have only found one side quest?

done the one where you talk to sariff about your augments

There's a

Completed my first side quest (of which I have about 3 on the go) and it was one involved mother fucker.

Really enjoying this, I haven't started the first main mission (visit t29 building) I've just been breaking and entering the various buildings / swewers in prague, doing side quests and now that I've found a merchant flogging all the guns and ammo I pick up. Playing non-lethal so don't need them. I really like this game.

Got this today for PS4. 
First impressions are it's a bit janky in general, everything from animation to combat. 
The takedown animations and the way the camera blanks out then resets from a completely different angle while doing them is awful and very low rent. 
Climbing can sometimes see you dropping in front of a group of enemies, like, oh hi guys. 
The battery bar is just plain frustrating. 
I'm find the lack of reticle when in cover a major annoyance, the dialogue scenes are not great and some of the graphics are just last gen. 
I guess they just haven't had the resources to throw at the development?

BUT I'm enjoying it so far.

Tomorrow I'm going to settle in for 4-5 hours of this. Want it cleared by the end of weekend. Speech checking my way like a boss. Who's an alpha or Omega here

Is it pretty much the same as the last one then?

As good as that was, I think I'd want something a bit more to bother with a new one.
