it's not quite as good as the original because thanks to a "slight shift away from improvisation and wide open spaces", which stops it "just short."
Regardless, Human Revolution is described as "the Deus Ex of our age, a genuinely worthy prequel, and a game that puts almost everything else in the genre to shame."

i hope the gameplay in this is great, because i don't like what they've done with the setting at all

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."
― Mordy, Monday, 22 August 2011 22:13 (twelve years ago) link
anybody pick it up today? I was tempted but won't have time to play it before my move.

ok, i'm getting really tempted to buy this. hope the boss fights are not dealbreaker-level shitty?
― hardcore oatmeal (Jordan), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 17:04 (twelve years ago) link
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?
― dougie instructor (jjjusten), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 17:47 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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.
― bnw, Thursday, 25 August 2011 06:24 (twelve years ago) link
edit: i am wrong about the onlive pass acting as a second copy apparently.

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.

when paul's in his living room crippled by nanovirus i click on him so that he starts a long monologue about how consortiums of bankers have always sought world government and then i walk into the bathroom and get into the shower so i can't hear him.
along similar lines, it's fun to save all the bottles of wine the triad leaders competitively gift you if you (totally unnecessarily and for no reward but this) go to the hong kong nightclub for drinks as they offer, then later get absolutely trashed with nicolette duclare in her teenage bedroom at her mother's illuminati estate. more fun to imagine jc's feelings if you do this before you wander into the drawing room and the voice of an evil artificial intelligence bursts into your ear growling WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR.

dlh i bought deus ex in the steam stealth sale and now it harassing me to install 'deus ex: revision'. what is this and is it any good
― ♛ LIL UNIT ♛ (thomp), Saturday, 17 October 2015 09:25 (eight years ago) link
the screenshots/trailer are pretty--the new textures aren't much better than the much older "new vision" mod i linked above but the new lighting looks great and i bet they changed some models. not sure what else it changes. it touts "expanded environments", which, idk, hands off, honestly. it also seems to optionally integrate Shifter which i would not use on my first playthrough (or my first adult playthrough), even though it fixes some genuine bugs; it makes some changes to the augmentation system and the effect by the halfway mark is to make you ten times the superman you become in the vanilla game. still tho, it is optional. in the end my only wholehearted objection is that they have for some reason changed the music. fuck that.
potential discussion here re: the merits of these sorts of overhauls, comparison of their usually ecstatic reception to the poor reputations of similar technical adjustments in other media (e.g. colorization), the casual assumption one sometimes sees in unexpected places that video games follow some sort of moore's law of asymptotic aesthetic refinement and that all games even good games would only have been better had their tech been more advanced. but i recommended new vision and my morrowind and fallout:nv are near-unrecognizably encrusted with mods, and in both cases i feel like the mods have liberated the platonic game from a cramped box. deus ex has never felt that cramped to me tho--it's never felt like its potential is being frustrated or squandered.
i'll install it on my next playthrough. these come slightly less often than viewings of the third man.
― playlists of pensive swift (difficult listening hour), Saturday, 17 October 2015 10:27 (eight years ago) link
i guess my advice would be, play the game, and if you stop playing the game for the specific reason that it looks like shit, mod it.

btw interested in hearing about your hatred for dx3. i more or less enjoyed most of it but as i have mentioned in this thread before i am the only human being alive to have reached the end of the genuinely dire dx2.
― playlists of pensive swift (difficult listening hour), Saturday, 17 October 2015 10:36 (eight years ago) link
idk, it just hit my i-don't-give-a-shit threshold by the end of the tutorialish level, and it felt horribly anonymous--i feel like the first one's primitivism adds character, sorta (quake and quake iii also look 'better' in some sense now than they did at the time). i didn't even get to the proper start of the game
― ♛ LIL UNIT ♛ (thomp), Saturday, 17 October 2015 11:12 (eight years ago) link
well strangely despite its primitivism the first one is more ambitious: an opening level where you're offered the opportunity to sneak down hallways and fire from cover vs an opening level where you freeroam across a virtual recreation of liberty island
― playlists of pensive swift (difficult listening hour), Saturday, 17 October 2015 11:53 (eight years ago) link
idk if quake looks better now--some of the newer engines for it, "darkplaces" etc, look pretty great, and its incoherent goth-metal-aliens aesthetic is all-time classic, but it is unmistakably the game that invented Shooter Brown--but doom looks totally, totally beautiful.
― playlists of pensive swift (difficult listening hour), Saturday, 17 October 2015 12:04 (eight years ago) link
Reviews coming out for Mankind Divided, sounds solid. Interest piqued by the VR Missions-type mode.
