I doubt most Gamestop stores ordered more than 5 PC copies over whatever pre-orders they got. Who buys PC games from Gamestop anyhow?


I'm currently about 12-13 hours into the game. Really enjoying the experience so far, aside from the fact that someone thought it was a good idea to put boss fights into this. My Jensen was heavily speced into the stealth and hacking augs, and was carrying mostly non-lethal weapons when I ran into the first boss fight.... I know I am not the greatest at action games, but I shouldn't have to replay a boss fight 10-15 times when I died less than that in the preceeding 8 hours total.

It may have been asked but if I go to China can I return to Detroit?

 

[Zeth]

LOL. Email from admin warning that they're reaching the system-mandated max inbox size of 4 emails. Please send unwanted emails to the archive where they can later be requested by submitting a formal ticket to the admin. Something to that effect. I lol'd.

 

[Grisby]

Man, Framerate takes a hit in the first main hub area.

Freaking amazing game though. I hope the devs follow thru with some chunky DLC or something.

I ran into a funny graphic glitch

This is what Malik looked like when I want back to see her following the first mission

Does anyone know if using lethal weapons in boss fights counts against you if you are trying to get the pacifism achievement? I have a feeling I'm coming up on my first one and wanted to make sure it wasn't like in MGS4 where you could take out bosses with non-lethan weapons. LOL

No. You have to kill them

Achievement says (except bosses)

 

[Zeth]

On 360 if I stand in place and jump the framerate drops for a second when I land. wtf? I thought it was in my head but the little dip below standard camera height is obviously delayed and totally unnatural.

 

[Dunlop]

after dying SO many times, the first time I activated a turrent and watched the deaths scroll across the sreen ranks up there with one of my best moments in gaming

Alright cool, thanks!

You still had to tranq the beauty form though, makes perfect sense...

 

[Firehead]

Right, looks like I'll have to restart my game. Didn't know it counted against you if you killed people in the prologue. What about the canisters with the green gas? Do those kill them or just knock them out?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

It may have been asked but if I go to China can I return to Detroit?

Spoiler

Yes you will/can.

 

[TeK-DeLorean]

3.5 hours in, haven't stopped for even a piss break. Its been over 5 years since any video game has grabbed me like this. The openness of this game, the optional posabilities, makes everything feel so endless and personsal.

This is how you make a fucking video game! Eido Montreal hit this shit out of the park!! Mass Effect should have been this game, and after playing DEHR I now know which is the superiour.. and true RPG.

Its going to be painful playing ME3 after this.

edit. Jenson's voice acting is spot on, this game isn't about having John Marsden or some other kind of super happy protagonist. This game is cyber, its robotic, its augmented and Jenson's character, his voice is dialed and tuned perfected to fit the theme of the game. Haters gunna hate

I agree with all of this. Especially the bolded. I like your style.
Adam's voice put me off at first, but it just FITS after a while. I love it now. It's kinda like one of those cheesy action flicks you love.

 

[Mœbius]

20 hours left...

Luckily I can play games at work, so I will be coming in early tomorrow morning to decrypt and get my lemon-lime on all day.

 

[Gvaz]

 

[Snuggles]

Ah man, Gamestop is still around in 2027? Bummer.

 

[Aeana]

Should have used Eurostile to make it more authentic!

 

[TeK-DeLorean]

I remember reading somewhere that the team took the background hints--during conversations-- out of the game during the development because they saw that people stopped paying attention to the conversations... That can't be right. They're still in.

When trying to talk your way into the precinct, for example;

Spoiler

during the conversation with wayne, there's an empty pill bottle that's sticking out of the trashcan in the back of the office. It flashes. And if you have the persuasion aug you can use it to pressure him.

It flashes because you can go pick it up. I didn't have the persuasion aug and I never got the option to mention it.

Adam Jensen is a really cool guy imo anyone else love the dude? He's so much better than Shepard.

[FGMPR]

haha nice

 

[iavi]

Adam Jensen is a

Spoiler

repeat mirror puncher. lol

I got a good chuckle out of that, and thought it was a damn good way to build character with the environment.

The email on his comp sealed the deal.

 

[Zeliard]

Anyone else been playing through with no object highlights? I've had it off since the start and it's been smooth sailing without it so far. Little objects you can pick up tend to stick out in some way or even flash, and other objects to manipulate like doors and ladders are clear enough. When you're close to an object you still get the button prompt so it ends up working pretty nicely.

I was thankful to have it on earlier when I came across a pocket secretary in some bushes. I don't know how I would have found that if it hadn't been highlighted.

She looks like a kart.

 

[watershed]

Played the game for another few hours today. The game is really engrossing, I just wanted to keep playing for hour after hour. its been great discovering how much content there is in Detroit alone. I find myself wanting to explore every room and every possibility. Great stuff.

 

[TeK-DeLorean]

Yeah, I'm on Barrett, and I don't think I want to play anymore. The constant deaths + loading, and the incredible difficulty curve if you don't have the right weapons on you is hugely mishandled.

There's weapons and exploding barrels all over the room. Or lower the difficulty. All of the boss battles are like this, jarring and forcing you to find gimmicks. prepare yourself for it and soldier on or just stop playing :shrug:

A question to those playing, is there any alien/ufo business in the game? Or anything referred to in the game? Just a yes or a no would be sufficient.

Thanks!

Nope.

Spoiler

Things get a little silly at the very end though.

No object highlights, no objective markers, no reticle, no cover/takedown indicators. I picked "Give me Deus Ex" and most of those were already turned off anyway.

Most of this is true... but if your resolution is too high, the button prompt is very tiny and tucked all the way in the corner. Easy to miss. Also, the interactive objects aren't always consistent. For example, Some drawers work, most don't.

I also like the highlighting effect itself and the game feels a little empty without it. Rather than losing the highlighting entirely, I'd much prefer a way to simply reduce the range at which an object highlights.

 

[Ridley327]

I just beat the first boss (he certainly wasn't expecting such an amusing death!), and while I have issues with the technical aspects of the title on the PC (namely, the loading and the fact that I can flip a coin on the game crashing during the CG cutscenes), this is the Deus Ex sequel I've waited too goddamn long for.

Playing it on Give Me Deus Ex is something else, let me tell you.

 

[1stStrike]

Haha, I just realized something. Whenever you die and Jensen makes that death sound it totally sounds like he's saying "Lawl".

 

[Snuggles]

I have all indicators disabled, as the lord intended. Object highlighting would take all the fun out of exploration.

 

[The Stealth Fox]

This game is better than Deus Ex 1. There, I said it.

 

[kittens]

Two momentous achievements tonight: (1) Finally found a silencer for my pistol, and (2) made my first basketball throw.

:-D

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I couldn't do the basketball. If I did, I couldn't tell and didn't get a reward.

IN THE FUTURE MY HIDEOUS ROBOT ARMS ARE TOO STRONG FOR BAS-KET-BALL

How do you shoot the basketball? All I did was pick it up and drop it back down

Left mouse button throws objects you've picked up.

Left mouse button.

I find it hilarious that, assuming you have the Heavy Objects mod, Jensen can pretty much hurl refrigerators in this game, haha.

Does anyone know where I can find the passcode to O'Malley's locked room in his apartment?

Pocket secretary on the bottom of a shelf in the same room... be careful upon entering though...

 

[supersaw]

The fail mouse response and seperate X, Y sensitivity adjustments with no numeric reference just scream console port to me, there are parts that feel really fun and it's definitely Deus Ex but I don't understand how you can ship a game, brag about superior PC version and not even put any attention towards making it control like a PC game.

I'm hoping for prompt and comprehensive patches so I can enjoy multiple playthroughs.

 

[Pachinko]

so I'm getting a bit of a general concensus here that this game is awesome but people like myself that want to try it on PC should wait for a patch to clean up some issues?

Is that about right? I've got enough on my plate that I don't need this game right now anyway.

 

[watershed]

I see......

Spoiler

I'm playing the PS3 version Thanks anyway

 

[DTKT]

On first boss, hardest difficulty.

Getting really really frustrated. It would be fine if the loading didnt take 30+seconds.

Hahaha juuuust found it tucked away beside a book on the shelf.

Fuck I love this game.

Anyone know how many merchants there are in the China hub? I've been running around and only been able to find one so far.

 

[Papercuts]

It's whatever shoot is.

That basketball was a bitch to get in the hoop, Jensen hurls that shit. I just crouched near it, aimed at the sky and had it drop in.
