This is happening again. Same hostname as before (https://url6319.gamespot.com/). I tried on Chrome, Firefox and Edge and all give the same error.

Well after not working for I think a year, this seems to be fixed now. So either someone saw my post and fixed it or, more likely, it was just coincidence that I get to look silly :-). I'm betting on it being a conspiracy against me. The trick was probably to mention losing revenue.

I'm one of those weird people who has subscribed to the "GameSpot Daily Updates" email newsletter. Whenever I try to open a link from the email, I get an error page complaining about the certificates for the site I'm trying to open.

For example, the most recent "Today-Only Deal: Cyberpunk 2077 Is Just 5 Bucks" email I got has links that open to a hostname with "https://url6319.gamespot.com/" and Chrome takes me to a "Privacy error" page with the error "NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID". This indicates that your server has a problem with the certificates installed on it.

Even clicking on the ads in the email don't work. You're losing revenue here.

This has been a problem for me for months. You should probably fix this.

I came here because I was so annoyed I asked google about disabling autoplay specifically for gamespot. The good news is that with one of the recent updates to Chrome, you can now permanently mute a website; just right click on the tab and select "Mute site". I was hoping the recent Chrome feature to disable autoplay altogether would catch these but it doesn't seem to.

The dumbest thing about this is that advertisers haven't learned the lessons that gave us adblockers. If you annoy your customers too much, then technology will appear that will forcibly stop you.

Yeah, this is pissing me off as well. I've now experienced three separate cases where I've scrolled down to the bottom, started typing in a comment and then had the page automatically move to the next video causing me to lose the comments I was typing! There's a comment here about adding a setting to disable this but who on earth would ever want this feature even if the original video is still visible? This seems like terrible usability and making users have to go find a setting to disable it doesn't help much.

For the record, I'm using Chrome on Windows 7 if you think this is a bug.

Yay! It looks like it's finally going to happen, and sooner than we may have expected. There are articles that suggest an August 2014 release date. Risen 2 was a tad weak, IMO, but nevertheless, I really like almost anything that comes from Piranha Bytes. Can't say that about too many developers.

-humanity isn't easy to come by later on. In the beginning, they shower you with it, yes. But later you will depend on killing invaders, or helping others defeat bosses.

Without spoiling it by saying where or how, it's possible to farm humanity all the way to almost the very end of the game. Maybe it's cheesy, but it does make humanity less precious (and I'm not talking about killing lots of enemies in an area that still has a boss).

My first playthrough trying to get this achievement, I know where I missed it, I shot the gang leader with the Tranqaulizer Rifle and he showed the death's head, but I didn't redo it and lost the achievement. On my second try, I checked every person I put down and reloaded and redid if they had been killed, the gang leader again and a Bellflower solider forced a reload and redo after using the Tranqaulizer Rifle, everyone else was stacking Z's. Got to the last part, shutting down the Hyphon and killing Zhoa, did that and did not get the achievement. I'm about to say to hell with it, but it won't let me be. Is there any indication in the game where you can check and see, say after each area, if you've violated it. I do all the side quests and even save Malik and check everybody after the action is done and I'm missing something, somewhere; I'm thinking it's in the last boss fight sequence but don't know what to try differently. I haven't been using the Lazer Rifle to kill Zhoa and maybe it's taking too long and one of the soliders is being killed by the electricity or something, but that shouldn't count against me. Anyone got any suggestions? My have to just do the main story and sneak by everyone just to get this achievement, but that's kind of doing it the easy way in my book.

I'm afraid I don't have anything encouraging to offer. It's a very frustrating bug because the game does just sort of kill people on its own. But it's by no means impossible to get. I actually managed to get the achievement on my very first play through. I somehow missed it the second time around despite being as careful as it sounds like you are but then I got it again on my 3rd and 4th play throughs. And no, there's no way to know until the very end if you've failed it. At least you can look at it as incentive to try again :-)

One thing you didn't mention is if you killed the guards in the prologue (before you have any augs). Because if you did, that would fail the achievement. Seems kind of unfair, but there it is. Killing the bosses (including Zhao) does not count against you so that's not your problem. Dropping Diamond Chan off the root does count. Did you do that? Saving Malik or not does not matter.

As for being careful, obviously checking the bodies after to see if they're dead is good. I've heard reports of bodies dying when left in vents (never happened to me) so don't do that. I have seen bodies die when stacked, so don't stack them on each other. I've also killed bodies by bumping a cardboard box into them.

Heck, even if their bodies are found, you may not even lose any Ghost bonuses. There's only a few periods while in Detroit where you can get the bonus and I assume if the body isn't found during those periods, it's okay. Although, I wonder if the bodies could be found earlier and then found again later with both counting against you.

And I think the police will eventually calm down and return to neutral but I haven't done too much to get them excited.

  • New purchase (if you don’t already have the game): £12.99/€19.99/$19.99
  • Own the basic game (with no DLC): £6.99/€7.99/$9.99
  • Own the game and Missing Link DLC: £3.49/€3.99/$4.99

I actually think this is pretty awesome. I never expected, or thought it was reasonable, for it to just be completely free. But this is better than I expected. I'll totally fork over $5 for it. I think it's worth it just to say this is an awesome game.
