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, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 17:14 (twelve years ago) link
mordy, please play through at least ten hours and have your report on my desk by tuesday morning, thanks
― hardcore oatmeal (Jordan), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 17:16 (twelve years ago) link
i'll try! like i mentioned tho, i won't be home until sunday to play.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 17:22 (twelve years ago) link
you can do it, i believe in you
― hardcore oatmeal (Jordan), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 17:42 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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

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.

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.

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
― my Sonicare toothbrush (difficult listening hour), Sunday, 28 August 2011 21:54 (twelve years ago) link
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.

― Reddit Me Bro (forksclovetofu), Monday, 29 August 2011 04:09 (twelve years ago) link
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.

North American ilxors who don't care about a physical product can get this cheapish- Amazon has their digital download for $35, including a couple of bullshit preorder weapons that will be either game-breakingly overpowered or completely useless. If you buy it but don't download it from them, you can go to your Games Library, copy the CD key, plug it right into Steam, and hey presto.

i just realised i actually want this, apparently it is like deus ex but with all the cringeworthy stuff taken out
― thomp, Tuesday, 30 August 2011 08:56 (twelve years ago) link
okay i have not done pc games in a while. can anyone tell me how likely i am to be able to run this playably with a 2.3ghz dual core, 3gb ram, 512mb graphics card? - this is technically within their specs but you know i don't know if i trust it. also if i buy a boxed copy can i get that to work on steam, is that doable somehow

that's got to be good news, right?
i am debating ordering it via physical media in order to i. save £2 ii. have a memento iii. make myself do more productive things for the extra ~ 72 hours
these not necessarily in order of importance
is anyone here playing it on spec as not-awesome as i will be

Is anyone playing this on a console? Haven't kept a PC up to date to standards, but I have a PS3. Note that I usually hate FPS games on consoles, but tolerated Portal 2.

― strongly recommend. unless you're a bitch (mayor jingleberries), Tuesday, 30 August 2011 17:23 (twelve years ago) link
I'm playing on PS3 and it's great. The combat seems a bit fiddly but I'm more of a stealthy h4x0r anyway.
It does feel impressively like the original. Including the o_O racist stereotypes, box-throwing physics and guards who let you hide in a vent and shoot their shins, but that's all part of the charm really. I didn't like the hacking minigame at first, but actually it's quite fun.
