I think so. I've really enjoyed how far I've gotten but have decided to just go back to my backlog for a month or two until it's been patched a few times (this is now the third time I've said this though...and I keep playing, that just shows you how much I like the game). There are a lot of great PC features in the port that show some real effort was put into it, but there are also some rather significant technical problems that hopefully will be patched. The mouse controls can be gotten around either via controller or turning off SSAO, but the stuttering and load times are pretty bad and acceptable solutions have still not been found. I wouldn't recommend any PC gamers buy it right now, especially with how prices go on PC. By the time it's fixed to an acceptable state it will probably be considerably cheaper.

God no, there's too many small details in the environment in this game, it's not like the first game where things you could pick up/interact with stood out against the bland backgrounds like a soon-to-be-opened door in a Scooby Doo cartoon. I'm wasting enough time as it is visually scanning every nook and cranny for shit, too many random interactive drawers that look like every other drawer. I never even considered turning the highlight off.

So, I'm getting this next week, Leaning heavily toward the PC version, but am considering the 360 version. Was the PC the lead development platform for this or consoles? Are there any current major technical issues like bugs or performance issues in either version that should sway me to one or the other? Honestly, the only reason I'm thinking about the console version is because I haven't bought a 360 game since like March.

So, I've been playing off and on all night, and something has been bugging me. The way the character controls with m+kb feels really off, and I remember it being this way exactly in another game, Alien vs Predator. Controlling the marine in that game feels janky as hell, and that's how DE:HR feels. I really hope they can fix it, along with the stupid load times, stuttering in engine cinematics, etc. I'm also seeing weird graphical effects, like faint black vertical lines, like bad shadowing. Jaggies everywhere to, with it on MLAA, I'm not even sure what that setting is even doing.
This shows the faint lines

It feels like there's some type of acceleration/precision scaling being applied to mouse input. Valve games should be the gold standard for mouse input, COD games also have good clean input with no scaling. I'm also not a fan of the seperate x, y sensitivity without any numerical reference. I hope they fix the controls with the upcoming patch as that seriously affects my enjoyment of the game.

Yeah same, I've also been trying not to upgrade radar-related stuff since I already think it's a little too useful. The radar makes perfect sense in the game world and it is pretty cool they made it an actual aug Jensen has, so it doesn't jar with the story and setting.
Still, I could probably do without it. In the first Deus Ex you had to look at the enemies themselves to view their routes, which way they were looking, etc. But this time around the basic radar gives you all that info, which I think makes the stealth gameplay a bit easy.

They typically do stand out is the point. The little energy bars, the pocket secretaries, etc. Some of them will literally flash. It makes it so you have to actually look around your environment instead of just walking towards the orange highlight.
I'd say get whatever version you want. It was designed for the 360 by Eidos Montreal, but Nixxes Studios did an excellent job on the PC port from what I can tell. Loading times are an issue on all platforms with uninstalled 360 being the worse. There seem to be a few bugs on all platforms too. Still, I'd say PC if you're used to the controls.GillianSeed79 said:

I was having so much fun stealthing through the first mission and running through all these air vents that I didn't realize how many rooms full of goodies I was missing. I got to the end of the mission and had missed several ebooks and other items so I decided to backtrack through the entire thing checking every single nook and cranny (damn RPG OCD). 9 hours into the game and I'm just now nearing the end of the first mission! I found a bunch of alternate paths, passwords, loads of ammo and items etc. I also got sidetracked for a while taking FRAPS videos of various stealth kills (only found two unique ones so far. I hope there are more so I can make a nice montage) and then reloading so as not to lose my Ghost status.
Yeah... this is going to take me longer than 20-25 hours to finish. >_<

Finally got the basketball achievement. That was one hell of a high arc shot. Rondo-esque.

Getting my ass kicked by the first boss with virtually no ammo. Get into that one room in the back on the left and load up but I either get stuck in that room with him chucking grenades or I run out in time and still get shot the f up. Pissing me the hell off right now.

BITCHES!! On maximum difficulty I feel the game very easy accessible :/
I'm taking my time, exploring everything, talking to everyone and playing it on DX without highlights is making me immerse even more into the world.

Seriously. I met him as a suit, as a janitor, as a hobo, as a gangbanger, all on the same block. Amazing.

I'm playing the PS3 version and the load times aren't bad at all -- in my experience they only take five or six seconds. The performance is great in general; just the slightest of stutters when walking around the expanses of Detroit from time to time.
The "piss filter" is warm, moody and immersive, so that's been pleasant as well. I also love seeing what's hot in 2027, like the black ball decor suspended from Sarif's penthouse suite ceiling, or the Gothic Lolita frills of news anchor Eliza. Gives the game culture.
Well, I've played this game about 10-11 hours over two nights. Just saw the launch trailer and I'm eager to see what lies ahead.

She's across the street from the RDB gang in the alley.
Kinda have a tough time finding walls i can punch through. Are they outlined in yellow like useable objects?
which brings up another question-gaf are you playing with "objects highlighted" or off?
i have toyed with both. Off mandates closer inspecting, with it on, at least i am not missing a ton of items. Thoughts?

The game is amazing - PC version here. Mouse and keyboard took a little fine-tuning to get rid of the jank, now it feels silky smooth.
PS - If anyone is getting the "Cloak and Dagger" mission bug, it's because one of the enemies you need to take out has a bugged spawn location. Take everyone else out like normal, then drag them into the bedroom and shut the door. Leave the apartment building, and go into the L.I.M.B. building. Exit the L.I.M.B. building and head back to the apartment, dude should spawn in the right place - just make sure you dragged the other bodies into the bedroom and close the door, or he'll wake them up and you'll fail the mission. If it doesn't work, reenter the L.I.M.B. building and try again - it should work eventually.

Question: I fucked up the beginning of the Detroid PD mission,
tried talking to the Desk Sergeant who has a history with Jensen, got locked out. Now, I got the hacker's chip or whatever and escaped, but I'm wondering if it's possible to go back to DPD and talk to the Desk Sergeant again and patch up the relationship or whatever. I'd like to be able to explore the DPD precinct without getting shot at.

Did anyone else when confronting O'Malley
I always save right before a conversation so if I mess it up I just reload my save until I get it right. If you don't have a previous save, your out of luck.
knock him out, drag him out the building, drop him in front of Jenny, have her completely ignore his body in the conversation, and then proceed to shoot both of them in the face?

Which is why loved it all the more. Seriously, Jensen crouched with a silenced pistol in hand behind cover looks pretty much like Solid Snake.
Only complaints against the game are the boss battles (not ALL that bad but still not as awesome as 'normal' gameplay ) and shitty recharge on the battery system. Atleast make it auto recharge ALL cells once you fully upgraded the cell aug. I hate having the perfect set up to pull off some badass moves and then realize I'm out of juice. Sucks having all those augs and having to ration out their use. That and some textures are pretty low res on the PC. Well only a matter of time till someone puts out a highres pack I guess ^_^ Pretty stable too, just had one crash...at the ending credits no less.
Also a pulling a takedown through a wall and then slinking away cloaked never gets old.
*runs off for second play through*
