Never had much luck with this series. I've owned the first Deus Ex since it came out, but my computers have never liked it (constant crashing/freezing issues). Played IW, and was underwhelmed. With that said, should I try Human Revolution even though I have little experience with the first game beyond the first few levels? I've always felt like I've missed out on this series, even though I own the first one...
That's mostly true yes, but I didn't like the original deus ex at all. Human rev is a shooter, so I would enjoy that a lot more than the other deus exes.
They are going to continue the series. It was square's most successful game of 2011, and they allowed the studio to hire 100 more people, as well as continue the franchise.
Everybody is always hating on invisible war! I mean it, wasn't the sequel people wanted but it wasn't thaaat bad right? It's just like fable3 in that sense.
Invisible War... Ugh... Shooting mechanics were actually worse than the original game (which is an amazing feat considering Ion Storm actually tried to improve them), the RPG mechanics were almost non-existent, storyline was total garbage, weapons felt pathetic no matter what you were using, dialogue was wimpy, inventory system sucked, everything pooling the same ammo was downright stupid, and the level design was pretty weak.
It's quite simply a bad game and an insult to Deus Ex.
Nice review, I enjoyed Human Revolution a lot too, but yeah the ending(s) sucked.
Also, I had nearly everything maxed by the end of the game(except for the useless stuff you mentioned of course) which made it kinda pointless. I hope they'll make that impossible in the next game, if that ever comes out.
Yeah, hopefully the next game (which they've pretty much confirmed working on since the dev studio hired a bunch of new people after the success of HR) will improve the few issues that HR has. It's all stuff that could be fixed fairly easily, I'm sure.
Depends if you choose dermal armor what weapons you use etc. I used silenced 10mm pistol, crossbow and stun gun. grenades were EMP and concussion. Almost no combat augs.
Never used dermal armor in the entire game. Never really needed it since I was being stealthy and limited myself to the silenced CR and 10mm for the most part. Sure it made combat more difficult but I didn't mind that.
Good review. This is one of my favorite games. I dont have *many* complaints about it except for a few augmentations that are useless, and I noticed a bit of dependency to keep up the hacking augmentation. I played through the game twice using different augmentations on each play through, and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. Also got the Missing Link DLC, it didn't really special or groundbreaking to the overall story really, but it isnt a total waste of time/money to invest in.
Yeah, apart from the boss fights there's really nothing *wrong* with the game. It could still do with a few efficiency and practicality tweaks though.
@DWTerminator That sucks (no pc demo). I don't have xbl gold either, main reason why I also bought a ps3 a couple of years ago and use the 360 for few exclusives only. Hmm, well, I am trying to fix my 360 connecting online (new router fucked it up) so when I finish with that I will download the ps3 demo and let you know if you don't mind what I think about it. Which I guess doesn't help you that much. Well, the peasants that we are without the gold, should have it by next week.
Well the demo's co-op only (as far as I can tell) so... it'll probably require XBLG anyway unless there's some sort of splitscreen or bot system. I don't really have any 360 games worth playing online, hence the lack of XBLG, and why I miss out on a lot. Switching to a PS3 is out of the question here though (you should know why by now).
From what I've seen Syndicate 2012 is just another FPS with some gimmicks. We'll see how it actually turns out though.
I agree with pretty much everything you said in this review. I didn't find bossfights to be that bothersome (they still felt out of place) and I kinda liked how they did endings (Adam justifies each option reasonably well and it leaves some things up to player to imagine how his choice affects everything), but it still feels they got really lazy with endings. It's literally "Here's four buttons, pick your ending!".
But overall, great game and I don't regret one bit picking it on Steam sale.
have you finished it without killing anyone?? ^^ except for the bosses of course
it took a week or so but i did it. all you need is the assaultrifle or minigun later on for bossfights and some nonlethal stuff for the ordinary enemies. the nonlethal takedowns also give way more xp than just killing them
I don't concern myself with a totally nonlethal playthrough... more trouble than it's worth. I ended up sniping with the pistol or doing takedowns for the most part and when stuff got crazy I'd use the revolver, CR, or grenades.
