im glad you got that ref

bro-grabs

this shit sounds dope. dopedopedopedopedope. who is buying today? i am trying to figure out a way i can play this between now and dark souls day but outlook not so good.

is it out today or tomorrow? im still programmed from the 20th century practice of all new stuff coming out on tuesday only

tomorrow

im remaining pessimistic to protect myself

how are the reviews?

all the major outlets appear to have been amply paid off

good news, then - they're operating with a large budget

seems like there are just so many gritty near-future/post-apocalyptic/sci-fi FPS games this year, it's all a blur. somebody let me know if this is the one.

eurogamer seems to like it

all those glowing reviews are enough for me. i ordered it. getting it tmmrw. (won't be able to play it until sunday/monday tho)

from mtv multiplayer: "First of all, if you loved the original "Deus Ex," drop everything and pick this game up right now. It's hard to imagine that any fan would come away from "Deus Ex: Human Revolution" disappointed."

anybody pick it up today? I was tempted but won't have time to play it before my move.

yeah let me just read a kotaku leigh alexander article, with my eyes. pause, Not

ok, i'm getting really tempted to buy this. hope the boss fights are not dealbreaker-level shitty?

hopefully at least not alpha protocol level shitty!

mordy, please play through at least ten hours and have your report on my desk by tuesday morning, thanks

i'll try! like i mentioned tho, i won't be home until sunday to play.

you can do it, i believe in you

ok so is this a verification that alpha protocol is not worth buying, even if cheap as hell then?

no, it's worth playing, bc there's enough fun in there to last at least 10-20 hours. but don't do it out of order (even tho they totally let you) or you'll quickly run into an unbeatable boss early in the game and then quit in frustration. alternatively, set the difficulty to the easiest setting and just enjoy the game.

may buy this. day one

Isn't today day one?

not in lolbritain

heads up: gamestop is taking the onlive code (a free second copy) out of all pc versions and then selling them as new.

*forehead*

I played for like an hour. Story/production seems A+. Gameplay is a little bland but it's early. World needs to be more interactive. Enemy AI is kinda weak. Overall, hard not to be impressed at the start.

edit: i am wrong about the onlive pass acting as a second copy apparently.

oh god, that video

uhh what - offer beer (hot devil)?

this game is pretty dope even if the combat kiiiinda sucks and sometimes Im not exactly sure what I should be doing and I end up murdering 25 gang members rather than be clever about sneaking around their compound.

my vacation has been cut short by mandatory hurricane evacuation so this is going to be what i'm doing this weekend!

i take it this is a shot from the main character's room. upper left is a GURPS book.

of course it is

Buy it. Ten hours in my GOTY so far

kind of hate how some side quests require certain augments to complete. level 1 hacking not gonna cut it.

i thought playing all. the. way. through. invisible war would handily save me $60 on this one but now you guys have ruined that thanks a lot

kind of hate how some side quests require certain augments to complete.

hatred for this makes total sense and i wouldn't call what i'm about to do "disagreement" but oh my god this is exactly what i want from deus ex

do like the look of most of this, even though the enemy ai looks laughable.

also one thing i notice with this and the first deus ex game was how the external environments always look like fake film sets.

but overall graphics look really impressive.

that video is so um

btw, this game is basically a remake of deus ex 1 -- at least structurally. the plot is slightly different but it progresses (at least so far) in the exact same way. 1) opening mission 2) return to base (UNESCO/SERIF) 3) big city crawl (NYC/Detroit) 4) Warehouse excursion to shut down a satellite 5) Off to Japan/China. It even has similarly named characters: Jenson/Denton, Manderlay, Tong, etc. It'll be very recognizable to any fans of the original. It's also -- weirdly -- not as good as the original, tho it's good enough to definitely justify playing.

I wonder if I'm going to end up in Paris soon taking orders from a rogue AI.

(no airport level, tho... yet)

my resistance is crumbling, i'm going to buy this
