If you happen to buy two copies I'd take your second CD Key if my UK copy won't register on my EU steam accountKorrZ said:

But seriously, I guess I will have to call my local shop and see what I can do about that UK retail copy I got ordered. This is really a pain in the ass. Up until now everything was going perfectly... Wasn't sure if I liked it -> downloaded preview and was impressed. Bought DE:GOTY (playing it now) and ordered UK copy. Now this.
So, how are people going to play through their first time? Stealthy? Action-man? Adaptive? Personally, adaptive for me. I'm going to take my sweet time to explore everything, so I'm gonna max out stealth, but if my mood changes I'm so gonna start killing people.
On my second run though I'm going 100% pure stealth with no lethal take downs.

Clear your schedule and ignore your backlog. Make the time!
Personally, I have special dispensation from my girlfriend in order to enjoy Deus Ex properly. She's quite happy to amuse herself for the whole weekend if need be, she knows how important this game is.
I hope we can be pre-download this if we get the digital version. I need at least a day to download this thing if there is nothing wrong with my connection.
Okay I've put a few more hours into Deus Ex 1. It's simultaneously fun and really frustrating. Mainly due to some gameplay mechanics and design choices. It's over 10 years old so that was to be expected. It's clear what they were attempting with the game but it's limited by the tech of the time. Which makes me look forward to Human Revolution all the more.
I look at it in the same way I look at the original Fallout and Ultima games. For their time they had to be amazing. I enjoyed the ideas in the original games when I played them and what they were attempting but it took the later versions to make me a big fan. Fallout 3 for example and Ultima 9 (as problematic it was) and Ultima Online (I'd love another Ultima rpg ). The core of Deus Ex I have enjoyed and appreciate. So I really hoping Human Revolution is exactly what I'm looking for.

Definitely going to try a run where I don't allow myself any deaths on the hardest difficulty setting, and just do whatever it takes. Try a stealth approach, but be prepared to go lethal if necessary.
Yes. Wait. Once you do find the time to play, you'll likely be able to pick up the game at half the price. The sixty dollar price point fades fast for any game that is not Call of Duty.thetrin said:
Or be the goober who wastes money on a game that you haven't got time for based on some fucked in the head philosophy that the developer and publisher are "counting on you."

further confirming that AMD/ATI cards will do well with this game. It's nice after having to battle with issues in so many nvidia oriented titles.

Just took a look and saw that the 6850 & 6870 are about $160.- & $190.-, respectively. If you are thinking about buying a new graphics card, I'd call that a good deal. I paid about $180.- back at my 5770 and didn't receive a free game with it.Solo said:

Yeah, the reason I posted it is because a lot of great PC titles are going to release this year and a lot of games will require higher-end cards. 6850 for $170 sounds OK but with Deus Ex bundled along, it's a $45 added value. If I didn't have a card, this is what I'll buy since I was going to buy the game regardless of the situation.
EDIT: From PC thread: "Blah, just bought a 6850 and preordered on steam."
See! People like that exist!

Has anyone pre-ordered a Steam game from Green Man Gaming? How much in advance do they send you the Steam code? I hope there is a pre-load on this, and I hope I get my GMG code in time to take advantage of it (I'm in the US).
I really hope this whole "region locking, but not GMG codes" doesn't turn into something ugly like GMG taking a few days to get their Steam codes in.

Exactly. I just bought a 460 and preordered on Steam. I could have instead bought a 6850 and gotten the game for free.

Good deal, if you're in the market for a graphics card. All three are good-to-great-value cards that should play most, or all in the case of the 6950, modern games for a while.shagg_187 said:
6850: Good budget card that plays most modern games and can sometimes be found for as low as ~$140AR.
6870: Somewhere in between; less powerful than the 6950, but not as expensive.
6950: Great-value card. If you were to go into a PC thread/forum and ask for the card that gives the most bang for your buck, the most common responses will likely be between this card's 2GB SKUs and the 560Ti.

Just read about the Region lock thing. The games here in Germany are pretty much most expensive around europe and I always import. They just lost a Day 1. Steam Sale it is then.

The engine that was used for Tomb Raider Underworld. So I am guess it's crystal engine or however Crystal Dynamics calls their stuff. Or at least that's what some people here mentioned.legbone said:
