@Raven_Sword: I picked it up when I got MK, and I definitely prefer it for fighting games. It's every bit as good as the old controller, but with a couple added bonuses.

MagicJack?! Doesn't Will know about the horrible, horrible spyware it installs?

I'm not sure what you'd consider 'non-essential', but one of my favorite things is the combination of hacking turrets, and lifting heavy objects. You can literally pick up a hacked turret and walk around with it shooting at anything in sight. Better yet, if you're crouched while carrying it, it serves as moving cover. I wish I had discovered this earlier, as there aren't many turrets in the game, and it really bums me out that I've only gotten to use this once.

@Lights_Up_The_Shaft: You apparently don't know the difference between "effect", and "affect". You must be an idiot.

I'm a game aficionado, thank you very much.

@Vitor: I have to assume it would be difficult to come up with an xp value for each enemy. There's so many times where you can circumvent entire rooms, or even floors sometimes, that it might be a little too much to reward you equally for every enemy you leave alone. If you pass over a room with 10 enemies by crawling through a vent, should you get the same as if you sneaked through the same room? Hmmm...

@hoossy: It seems like you can only buy a max of 2 praxis kits each time you switch hub cities, so money is rarely an issue. Unless you're going around buying weapons and then dropping them later or something, you should never be that strapped for cash. I never was anyway, and I didn't resort to any crazy "gun farming", as you call it.

@Vitor: That's a really good question. Although I'm mostly stealthy, I don't think I've ever left every guard standing in an area. A few here and there, but I usually end up taking out most, if not all of them. If there's not, there should be. That'd be some tricky business.

@swat200: I've been playing mostly stealthy the entire game, so I can't really relate, but I do find that when things go bad, I go down super quick. I found myself starting to pick up the armor upgrades so I last another second or two.

The one suggestion I could make is to try to use cover more (if you're not already). Even if you're not being stealthy, standing out in the open is going to get you killed. This game plays noticeably different from most modern shooters. You are not a bullet sponge, and you have to be a little more cautious.

It sounds like their policy hasn't changed, but now they're talking down to us in their EULA. This is absurd.
