Deus Ex: Human Revolution

I just finished Deus Ex... I almost cried at the end ;_;

It's just true... I chose :

Spoiler

to broadcast Darrow's confession

and then it showed a clip, that I just can't say how amazingly true it is...

Eidos has won my respect again. I hope they make another worthy sequel of Deus Ex. This is an amazing game, with the best storyline I've seen.

 

Wow. I thought the game had like 40-45 hours of gameplay!

 

I did no sidequests, only the main story, which is like they said : around 25 hours.

 

My choice was more brutal. xD

Spoiler

Flood the whole station, killing everyone.

Im doing my second run now, grabbing all the sidequests, doing some achievements and try the pacifist run.
Its pretty challenging.

 

Man I gotta get going. I've only played a few hours in. Oh to be a kid again.

 

I need to pick this up... Must... Pay... Tuition... First!

 

One thing I just noticed, experience system is kinda broken. If you do every sidequest, hack everything, and play with stealth, you can easily max out your augs by the end of the game. And every new power loses its individuality.
If any of you ever played Alpha Protocol, it was done much better there, you had to save XP points for the big upgrades, and even then, you could max two abilities at most, and maybe complete half of other two.

 

I don't really mind this, the original DX had some really hard choices for augs and skills, and it was kind of frustrating.

 

Game runs great on my p7805u @ 1920x1200, maxed settings except ssao. Runs unexpectedly smooth at those settings on my beastly 9800m gts

 

For those who have finished, how badly do you want to play it again? Is there replayability?

 

Already started my second playthrough, on the highest difficulty (had played medium before). For me the replayability comes from self imposed challenges wanting to get achievements, like non lethality, no alarms, etc. And of course, trying to find different routes and taking more time to discover every piece of information/email,etc. I can.

 

I never had a chance to play the first, but I've heard amazing things. Can't really decide if I want to drop cash on this or not...Is it something I'd enjoy if I'm not into OCD gaming?

 

The shooting in this game is pretty bland.

So drop cash if you are patient to play stealth. You get far more benefits from stealth in this game and spent a lot of time interacting with a weird hacking system for computers. One of those point and click on nodes. It's a very tedious game.

Example Scenario:
- Must infiltrate a building. Hack into random computer from some dude to confirm and discover new info.
- Building is guarded with guards patrolling the around and within building.
- Run around until you either find a sewer entrance or able to traverse upwards unto some ceiling or some floor with an entrance through the vents,
- After infiltrating in vent, you must be careful and look for patrol.
- Wait for patrol to come to you, you don't want to knock him out where other guards might see him fall.
- Knock him out. Hide his body in the vent you just crawled out of.
- Proceed further, and wait for another guard. Knock him out. Drag his body all the way back to the vent, you don't want it discovered, the body.
- Proceed a little further, knock out another guard, hide his body.
- Finally reach the room. Few guards in there. Wait until both looking away, sneak around them. Get computer.
- Play the tedious hack the computer mini game.
- Sneak away from room after, waiting for guards to move and look away.
- Sneak through vent and out.

Tedious to the extreme.

It has a bit of an elaborate plot also.

For a more casual fun game, if you haven't played it with some RPG elements, I'd go with Borderlands. The best shooting game with some story plot I think in a long time. It's a lot of fun and very casual. Very little frustration in this game.

 

Wow, guys.

If you think this game is tedious and/or frustrating, you have to try the Deus Ex Alginon Run.

Have fun!

 

Different strokes for different folks. Borderlands is not even in the same galaxy as this game, completely different. If you're looking for a pure shooter, this just isn't the game for you.

 

You exaggerate way too much. Borderlands true doesn't have stealth. But then DX doesn't have the quality of shooting mechanics as Borderlands does.

But they are both action/FPS games with RPG elements. And I was telling who I was responding to, if you are a casual gamer just looking for some fun, I'd suggest Borderlands over DX since DX is pretty tedious, and I don't think very casual. Try replying within the context in which I was replying to person I was replying to instead of just having some pissing contest.

 

I wasn't saying DX was a better game, I was saying that they can't really be compared because they're completely different. I think they're both great games, but if you don't like a more RPG style shooter, Borderlands isn't going to be too much fun. It definitely has more RPG elements to it (inventory management, hit points, levels, etc) that I didn't enjoy. Don't be so defensive.

 

I have to admit, I'm just not that blown away by this game. I've heard all the hype about the original. Never got around to playing it, even though I've been gaming since Pong. Think I was much more into the original Thief game, and Half Life, back around Deus Ex days.

Don't get me wrong; this is a quality game. It just doesn't do all that much for me. Found that I enjoy the hacking game, and have maxed out my augs in that fashion. Also, as stated, this is a MUCH better stealth game than a gun/shooting game. Anyone approaching this game expecting a COD experience, is going to be sadly disappointed.

Still, for whatever reason, it just isn't blowing my socks off. The bland as hell graphics don't help either.

 

I'm a BF fan, and I found this game very run n gun in some situations, which I enjoyed very much!

 

Yeah..........who wants to take the time to actually use some brain matter to play a game !

 

It doesn't ever have to be run-and-gun, though. Apart from boss fights. Which were probably the weakest part of the game on the whole, but well.

 

How sad if you think this game requires brain matter. Very little brain activity is going on with this game. The conspiracy and story is straight forward, no surprises so far or anything that makes me ponder. None of the puzzles are worth mentioning and none of the game mechanics are of any concern.

Very little brain activity required. It's just VERY VERY TEDIOUS. Tedious does not equate difficult or requiring a lot of thought.

 

Different people like different things.

 

does anyone know if theres a quick save or quick load hot key??

 

Try F5 or F6, they are default keys for quick save. Same for quick load, try, dunno, F9 maybe...

 

I beat it 3 days ago. The ending was lame.

 

Gee.............thanks !

 

That's one thing I do like about this game. The interface is nice, I like the graphics options. And I do like that it has quick save and you can save at any time you want with 99 save slots.

 

Just beat it; took me 33 hours. Very much enjoyed the game.

 

Just bought the game today. I'm gonna grab some beers and enjoy my Friday night after work drinking beer and playing HR. I will be sure to let you guys know how it is.

 

Quick save is F5 and quick load is F8.

 

maksin01 I don't have the game, I just guessed, figured that majority of games uses these keys for quick save/load.

 

DEHR runs very well in the 30+range @ 1200p max settings with normal ssao and 8x anisotropic. The 9800m Gts, with some pro overclocking and tweaking has been an epic card in dealing with the latest games.

 

I just finished this and I have to say, WOW, I loved every minute of it!

 

It is a great game, but I die often because I test my limits a ton.

 

My Augmented Edition is on the way from Amazon along with the new desktop rig in the sig from Alienware (also my SWTOR rig). I suspect the upcoming weekend I will be hidden away in my cave.....

 

First two hours of the game gave me a meh feeling. We'll see how the rest turns out.

 

Gee. Must have set you back quite a bit picking up that rig. Why not just set it up yourself and get the same parts at half the price from NewEgg?

Anyways. I finished HR a short while ago, and I can say that it's been a great ride. 25 or so hours on Medium difficulty, stealthy, non-lethal, sidequests all done.

 

I'm bored with it.

 

Dell Outlet + 20% coupon + first thing in the morning before they got scarfed (I only found one for this price) for one day special = Fully loaded Aurora R3 (Even includes new Tactx KB + Mouse combo) = $1149 shipped to my door.

I'm one of the few unlucky who resides in NJ and gets hit by Newegg sales tax. I usually end up buying from Amazon more than Newegg now except for specialized parts.

Definitely looking forward to the game. I've played through the first one so many times, and I even played through the second more than once.

 

Hey I had a question about something I screwed up lol. I accidentally threw a flashbang grenade in the alley near the basketball court (Detroit). And it saved after I threw it. Now I cannot go back... I had already done the quest for Tindall and killing the thugs at the basketball court, but I was wondering, the vagabonds I had to kill, were they important? Thanks

 

The good thing about this game is that you can play like an a**hole if you want and it wont really punish you.

Want to punch a random dude on the streets of Detroit?
No problems.

 

A desktop from Alienware??

Excuse me for a moment while I go face palm.

Edit: Ok I am back. Next time go visit our sister forums DTR and we will teach you to build a machine with better specs for half the price.

Finally read through all the comments. Thinking about picking this one up soon!

 

Yep pretty funny ... farming off cops and gangbangers for ammo.
Never figure out the point of buying and bribing anymore ... they are basically free after "rebate".

Turrets are great ammo savers.

 

You guys use your guns this much? I have only shot like once or twice...

 

lol, I normally do build my own rigs (Been building rigs for over 15yrs now). I was price shopping a 590 or 6990 to upgrade my aging rig's GTX 280 (3 years strong, <3 EVGA), but for the price I paid, it came out LESS than buying the components from, well, anywhere.

At Newegg, the price of the GPU and CPU alone = $1127 shipped. Price paid for the entire desktop loaded (in sig) w/ TactX KB+Mouse = $1149 shipped.

If you can build me out a complete system with water cooled i7-2600K, Radeon 6990, 875w+ PSU, custom case, BR/DVDRW, Windows 7 Ultimate License, 1TBx2, 8GB, SB Titanium, and a good KB+Mouse combo and an on site warranty for $1149 total shipped to my door, I'll take a looksy.

 

I'm sort of depressed that I finished it, now. I love Deus Ex, and now I'm going to have to wait for another sequel

 

You can always go back through and replay it to discover any little gems / hard mode / beat it a different way.

 

I know I can play it again, but I LOVE this series (minus Invisible War) and I want more of the story, and especially more of this style (the Human Revolution aesthetic). I can't even explain how much I loved everything about this game.
