The review is out: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-deus-ex/719502

Looks pretty cool, reminds me alot of Ghost in the Shell / The Matrix which were two big influences for the game designers that made this game. Its available for digital download (registers on steam) from amazon.com for $35 and the digital Augmented Edition for $42

The biggest influence on this game's development, of course, being the original Deus Ex, LOL.

I'm having fun with Human Revolution. Lots of lil' surprises...

​

The FPS portion could've been "tighter" but this isn't really an FPS, it just borrows elements of one for the combat system, so I'm fine with it as it is.

 

That does look cool and love the violence!

 

Not to mention the takedowns are just brutally fantastic.

My favorite bladed takedown is picking up one guy, throwing him at the second, and jumping on the dogpile armblades first

 

Yes. This game is good.

 

I beated it on Saturday :X

It is very fun. I killed almost everything. I started a new game to try and get "The Foxiest of the Hounds."

 

I call that the leaping Kabob !

 

I purchased this game while it was on sale and so far im loving it, very fun.

 

Holy cellar dwellar batman ... was your grandma throwing food down a chute to bnasement to feed you Mr Cartman ? hotpockets much ?

This and all the post it notes with meme faces had my friend and I cracking up today.

 

Guys should I be trying to kill/incapacitate all enemys on any given "mission" for xp? or are there greater bonues for not killing and sneaking through with minimal casualties ?

Gru

 

I dunno I suck then, I was just shooting up the place but dang, it gets hard frontal assault style, but I hate sneaking around, but still, i'm enjoying it.

 

Take downs give the most XP, if you can take down all of the enemies on the level that will give the most XP. Also hacking computers, letting the turrets and robots kill the enemies for you, will still give you "Ghost."

 

I am having a hard time figuring out which Augs to purchase first with my praxis kits ....

Seems like hacking is one of the first ones to do ?

Gru

 

I did the hacking ones first, theres also an upgrade that tells you the % chance that you will get caught by hacking certain nodes and doing the "fortify" feature which comes in really handy when you start hacking level 3-5 computers later on. The energy cell upgrades and inventory space upgrades are also really useful because you will need inventory space for extra weapons, typhoon ammo, energy bars, and weapons ammo. Every skill uses energy cells and the game only recharges 1 of them so its not worth it to spend extra points on energy recharge rate, only capacity.

If your going for the Foxiest of the hounds award you will need to level up stealth, inventory space, and have a couple of energy cells for stealth mode. You will need the inventory space for stun guns which wont alarm other guards when you take out one of their buddies (apart from your regular guns). It really depends on your playing style I guess.

 

A worthy successor to the original Deus Ex. Bosses might suck, but it's still a fantastic game.
