Does It Make A Difference To You That Deus Ex HR Got a 10 From OXM?

If it even remotely lives up to the original it probably deserves 9.5+

nope, its still a rental title to me

Since reviews mean next to nothing... nope.

Seeing as from the beginning I've been planning to wait until its like $30...

Nope.:P

I think a ton of people are still very skeptical about Deus Ex HR. Its graphics certainly arent top notch, amongst the likes of Gears and Rage it doesnt appear as much to be a blockbuster, and tons of console gamers never even tried Deus Ex 1 before so have trouble being pumped to try this game. Overall i think alot of people were expecting this to be another Alpha Protocol, promising the world but then coming dead on arrival Well it got a 10 from OXM UK so are and even the sites that posted that peice of news said it in a "WTF?!" attitude haha. SO does the 10 completely surprise u and is it enough to change the minds of the skeptical?? So far three reviews for Deus Ex HR have called it one of the best games in a long time. (PS I have scans from the OXM UK review, not sure if im aloud to post ithem here or if u guys want me to but let me know and ill put up the pages to the review)ms555

Its visuals got an upgrade for PC, along with AI and more. Consoles got Deus Ex: IW didn't they? :P

Alpha Protocol has a LOT of things wrong with it. From what I've played of Human Revolution, it's going to be a sleeper hit along with Rage (which I haven't played.) The game just felt incredible, so I'm not surprised at all. Only surprising thing is that it's from a 360 mag, and not a PC mag.

I already got the Augmented Edition preordered. :D

Yes. If you actually compare the scores of OXM to Gamespot and such, the scores are very close. If it scored a 10 from them then most likely it's at least close.

It got an 8 from OPM, I think.

Before any review i was going to buy Deus Ex: HR first day so no.

Haven't you people seen the walktrough of the leaked version?

Its a 10/10 in my mind.

unless ur incredibly fast at playing games, it isnt really a rental game length lol. Its like 40 hours long.ms555

I got excited when I found out about the 10 as I have equal opinion on OXM reviews as I do Gamespot... I know its really "hip" and "edgy" to "lulz" at the first party magazines but if I compare my own personal scores with that of OXM and GS over this generation I bet they would come out even. Im getting Deus Ex.

I don't care what it gets, i'm buying it day one.silversix_

Well the original was hardly top tier in terms of graphics when it came out, so I think that hardly matters.

Nah, it'll still suck for me.

But for the fans hyping this game, I hope its God's gift to them.

I don't care who reviews it before release. I want to see reviews from places I trust (read: not a magazine that probably thinks Call of Duty is the best game ever).

I don't have a problem with that. Fallout 3 and COD are pretty awful.

The game is still going to be amazing, though.

The game just felt incredible

From what I..saw...of it, it didn't have as oppressive a feel to it as the original, but then again as we know the s*** ends up hitting the proverbial fan, so I imagine as the game goes on the atmosphere will become more oppressive.

It means nothing, but "leaking" a 10 hour demo and getting rave reviews from people who've played it kind of does mean something. Utimately I had planned to play it since it's announcement, It's good to see the advanced buzz is good.

No, as in it plays very well and feels really new in this PoS market that's flooded with casual games and CoD clones.

I never played the original Deus Ex, so I can't compare setting or story. It was an absolute blast though.

Doesn't really make a difference to me. The 51,985,654 threads about it already have me pretty hyped up :P

I really need to buckle down and finish up the couple games I have going before this drops.

OXM - **** no. What matters to me is what has been said about it from the players of the leaked demo version. If it's anything like Deus Ex in nature then it'll be good - I personally am looking forward to it, though playing through Deus Ex atm is reminder of how high the bar has been set. skrat_01

Watching Patrick and the guys over at Giant Bomb do a quick look with the original made me pull it out again. I just have to figure out how to install the new texture pack that just came out.

Agreed. They have much to live up to, but I think they understand the expectation and have strived to reach it.

I had issues with that as well. I tried installing the pack but then the game just ran normally. Still, it isn't like I couldn't play through it again vanilla, but I'd prefer to play it again with the upgrade. dommeus

Deus Ex will probably be AAA on proper sites like GS and IGN.

Well, it has received 9+ scores from several other sites/mags as well. Not to mention that the feedback from the leaked preview build has been very positive.

I have been waiting over a decade for this game and I don't think it will disappoint.

You mearly need to change the renderer to openGL, i suggest you start a clean install, change to opengl then add the texture pack.. because it gave me problems and didn't recognize it without installing it again.

Btw., you should also go into the config. file, and change theantiostropic filtering, its quite low, put at max., and it'll look far better..

Another thing to know, there's a way to combine ENB series, New Vision (the texture pack) and HDTP pack, all of them will make the game look vastly better than just New Vision. I forgot how to, but there's most definitely a way on google.

Ofcourse with ENB, you'll have to tweak it until you find a perfect configuration for your taste, but there are various configurations already made for Deus Ex, google them also.

Wen HDTP pack is finished, the original Deus Ex will finally have a complete overhaul. New Vision is finished, ENB is here, all that's left if for the guys to complete HDTP pack (it vastly improve every object and character model in-game to look much more modern)

Here's the best tutorial on the internet, updated a couple of days ago.

After install...

I can't even get past the menus without it hanging. And that's just vanilla. Oh well. I'll try it later on on my other PC. I think it's already installed on that one.

this game looks great and i honestly do use reviews to help guide me to a good game but not always but any game over a 9 is usually a great game. i wish i could buy this but i has no money.
