Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hype Thread (New Reviews!) (HYPE- AAA)

I'm trying to get the stealth achievements but my game is bugged and refusing to give me ghost and smooth operator when I know for a fact it should. I'm hoping it won't screw me out of Foxiest of the Hounds even if I'm never seen. That'll really put a damper on things if it does, the experience loss already sucks.

Yeah.Kiro0

That's kinda frustrating. Hopefully they patch a lot of it. I'm playing the 360 version, so it's been fine for me, though the framerate can get annoying :P

I need to upgrade my PC again :(

I'm just shy of 20 hrs into the game and I'm just starting the second hub lol. By the way, I found the easiest way to get praxis points is to ignore codes / passwords that you may pick up and just hack electronics....Also, if you take the time to explore in detail, you'll get traveler points. Mix this with a couple of non-lethal take downs and you're all set to go. verbalfilth

Yeah I don't even bother looking for passwords unless I'm out of attempts or it's level 5 and I don't feel like hacking. The mini-game is a ton of fun anyway!

Bubut hacking is hard. :(Cherokee_Jack

It's quite easy actually :P Unless you're playing with a controller then I could see it being hard.

Most of the time, I'm all like "OMG....HOW DID I WIN THAT!?" with only .5 seconds left.

So true.

Sweet Jesus the games gets hard when you get to *snip* Glitchspot *snip*

lundy86_4

The cloaking system is your friend. They can't detect you when cloaked.

Yeah i got past that part using boxes to hide behind, I meant from that point on in general the game gets hard. The game was a cake walk before that room.

Jesus_on_fire

Lol, that makes sense. Agreed though. The game got a little crazy when you didn't know exactly what was coming after that part.

Picked this up for $35 bucks off amazon, d/ling now. I really hope its worth it, I wasn't too thrilled with the "beta" and I'm hoping it is a lot more polished.

I just beat it. Very ambitious game with choice and an awesome atmosphere. A few glaring weaknesses however. Even with its glaring faults Deus Ex: HR imo is GOTY......so far.

Boss fights are awful.AAllxxjjnn

Not awful, just extremely underwhelming and linear considering the rest of the game is about choice.

I love this game, but I haven't gotten too far. Just beat the first boss.. I can see why one would complain about the boss fights. From the one I played, the boss fights seem very out of place. It's annoying to have to keep my weapons, when I don't need them for any other part of the game, just to kill the boss. I'd be fine with just my stun fun and tranquilizer rifle.

When I kept dying to the second boss, I was all like RAAAAAAAAAGGGEEEE!

When I finally learned the attack pattern and how she ran away, I beat it with ease and thought, "Wow! That boss fight was way more fun than the first!"

This game is seriously gunning for GOTY. It's gonna give Shogun 2, The Witcher 2, Battlefield 3, and Super Mario 3D Land (Hey...opinion man) some serious competition

About that. The description says the upgrade is 'automatic' with increasing the node ratings. But do you still have to select Fortify from the hack menu to really make that work?

[QUOTE="millerlight89"] I think Foxiest of the hounds is impossible. :Pmillerlight89

It's gonna take a lot of saving. I'm not looking forward to it :(

If you headshot them with a tranq gun when their back is facing you...they wont be alerted.

Atleast that's how it is with my personal experience so far.

finished the game a few days ago. game of the decade. i dont care whats gonna come out in the next 9 years. easily best game this gen, nothing even comes close.

gamespot review is dumb. mgs4 is maybe 6 hours of actual game and it gets 10. i got 35 hours. mw2 gets the same score. utter insanity

just bought this game , soon as i finish SC:Conviction im putting this baby in! (almost done with SC)campzor

The game is great. I enjoyed it every bit as much as the first.

Yeah, that's gotta be frustrating as all Hell. It's bad enough when you're not doing anything and the power goes out, but even worse when you want to be doing something :P

Ohh lundy one last thing did you get it on PC? and if so how's it run. On PC or console?

Playing an incredibly awesome looking game. That last live action trailer was absolutely brilliant and made me way to excited. I chose a terrible time to leave and come back :PAnimal-Mother

Haha yes you did. I tried to stay away from all the pre-hype, but it still got me.

I got it for the 360. I've not been buying many PC games (except older ones) until I upgrade hopefully this year or early next year.

Somehow, I have a feeling you'll be running it fine if you bought it for PC :P

Just finished the game. Took me 25 hours, and I didn't try to be stealthy at all. I just killed everyone and everything.

GOTY for me. It's far better than The Witcher 2, though the game was somewhat short on RPG-like choices that altered the course of the game a little bit.

I hope so. I might rent it or buy it cheaper on 360 later for achievements I hear the power is coming back on YAYAYAYAYAY. Also a little off topic but you gotta add me to your 360 Flist (if im not on it) so we can play gears 3 hellsergeAnimal-Mother

What's your gamertag? I don't think I have you on there, though I don't remember :P

Edit: Lol, wait, I think your GT is hellserge... I'm like wtf is Gears 3 hellserge? :P

Tied for GOTY with The Witcher 2 so far because they are both incredible games with a rich world to explore.Neither is perfect, but I REALLY enjoyed my time in them. I'm putting it right up there with Mass Effect as far as really well thought out universes go.DEHR definitely has one of the best game worlds that I've spent time in this gen.

Just finished the game today. Definitely my GOTY so far. I loved the world and the choices. I don't think I've had this much fun with a first person RPG like this since Vampire: The Masquerade.

Great game.
