Oh. "Standard Bioware Plot" is "Go to three places, solve their plots that may or may not be related to the actual storyline to get the McGuffins, then go to the final area, and then also probably a surprise mission after you've done two things." Also includes "The levelup system breaks after level 10" and "We ran out of time for the ending". On the plus side, you get good characters and good writing for putting up with it.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.-

Seems to work fine for me. There are apparently a lot of things that can happen to keep it from running, here is a list of quite a few issues. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s ... ?t=1440616

If you want to try to stealth past everything, keep in mind that the bosses will fuck you over.Who said that?

The Director's Cut? Ok. If you have that, you can actually focus less on combat if you like as they updated the boss fights somewhat. If you don't have the director's cut, you need to put a bit more of your development points into combat abilities, since the boss fights focus more on that and less on the stealth/exploration aspects of upgrading.jdodge1019: hasjghsalghsakljghs is from vermont

did not like HR. played about an hour and quit. My dad finished it. Watching him i don't particularly regret not playing it.As the king of all cosmos remarked "is it really fun? or that it let's you forget yourself?"
aceofspades is the worst poster on site and anyone that hasn't got him on ignore is doing themselves a disservice ~N

Even without DX, you just invest in Typhoon and win boss fights(and cheat for the third one).Natirasha is just a vestige, it's Contessa now.-

Contrary to the rest of you guys I actually quite enjoyed DX:HR, it was an amazing run right up until the end and I can forgive it for a really weak last mission / ending. Even on the base game you can auto kill two of the bosses by playing smart, you don't need any combat upgrades to kill another and there is only one really terrible fight (first boss fight locks you in room with him).
Great soundtrack as well.Routine day with a dirt cheap brush
Then a week goes by and it goes untouched
Then two, then three, then a month
Then the rest of your life, you beat yourself up-

I was a big fan of DXHR, just not the boss fights without the Director's Cut changes. It felt a little clunky at times, but the atmosphere, setting, and pretty solid story was still a lot of fun.jdodge1019: hasjghsalghsakljghs is from vermont

I'm not saying DXHR was bad, I'm just saying that make sure you are prepared for bossfights. The first few levels, which didn't have bossfights, were great, I just got fucked when I went up against a boss and my only lethal weapon was a pistol because I didn't realize that I would ever need to kill anything. I'll go back to it at some point.Who said that?

So, I finally managed to get FFXIII have started playing it. So far, everything appears to be corridors, but I'm sure that'll go away after the tutorial is over.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.-

Not sure if you're joking or serious but nope, a good 85% of the game is corridors.
They're very pretty corridors, though.
