Soulwynd you're probably right about me being bad as the stealth aspect, it's just frustrating at times.
Yup. I was really really bad at it, but if you don't get frustrated by it and go all out, you can learn it fast.
The thing is, if they're looking at your direction, they will most likely spot you unless they're busy with something else. Range nor light seems to matter for this. You start with the ghost cyber, which you can use to make them look the other way. Also, leaning on corners doesn't seem to trigger them as often.
After you get the cloak, which is one of the cheapest cyber, you can maneuver around people and uncloak even before approaching them, since they will have their backs to you.
Giving quick peeks on your hacking screen also helps to show the distance and number of opponents. If you can hack, you can possess one and start a mess before popping out and shooting everyone.
I don't think I fully understand the hacking process in the gameplay videos I see the player press all the virus buttons seemingly randomly, I usually do shield alot then overflow and then attack in the hope of winning. What's everyone's tactics when it comes to hacks?
Think of it as a blackjack game. The AI will almost always (There's a bit of randomness) protect itself doing certain things.
Here's a list of things it does to help you guys get a hang of it:
NPC's Attack > Player Defense = NPC does the attack move
NPC's Attack < Player Defense = NPC either drains the player defense, or tries to increase its own attack
Player's Attack > 0 and it's not busy trying to raise its attack = NPC will drain the player's attack
Things it will [almost] never do:
Raise its own defense
Ignore the player's attack stat (Except when itself has 0 attack)
So here are a couple tactics:
-Quick & dirty hack, good for possessions due to the bonuses
--Drain the NPC's attack to 0
--Attack unless the NPC's attack is higher than your defense
--Don't bother raising your own attack, even with 0 attack you can do some damage
-Mess the AI
--Boost your defense to 300
--Drain the NPC attack to 0
--Convert any left defense into attack
--Attack
--Repeat
Personally, I like the first one more, it's usually faster and does the job well enough. Things get much easier with higher implants and skills later, so you can do these much faster.
