Well for what it worth I can confirm that the load times are much better for me. Went from about 30 seconds or so to around 10 to 15.

Makes dying or reloading after getting caught much less frustrating.

 

[Blizzard]

One mans challenge is anothers frustration though...

The giant bomb dudes recommended possibly playing on easy and made out the ai & boss fights come over as frustrating as opposed to challenging.

My gaming time is limited as is, so I was thinking maybe easy for my run...

Not decided yet... Thoughts Gaf?

You can always lower to easy if you play a while on normal and it's too frustrating, or start on easy but then change it up to normal later. Since the game is supposed to be 15-25 hours long at least, I guess you could start on easy if you're really trying to rush it with limited time. *shrug*

Yay for the quick patch. I wasn't expecting mouse consistency improvements, so it's nice to see them listening to such complaints.

 

[Zeth]

Totally stuck on (boss)

Spoiler

Yelena. The electricity in the water just kills me, should i put some points in dermal plating? I'm a stealth build but I brought a heavy rifle and shotgun with me, neither of which are getting the job done.

I've died about 10 times her already and it's frustrating me.

 

[BannedEpisode]

Second boss spoilers.

Spoiler

I was so frustrated with this boss. I fought her about 8 or 9 times and each fight ended up being a prolonged engagement where I died in quick succession after I screwed up. So I stepped away and thought about it and beat her in under a minute.

Grabbed the EMP mines from the lockers and took out the heavy machine gun. All I had to do is wait till she charged me and drop one of the mines and proceed to unload lead on her. After the third mine she was toast.

Looking back I cant believe I had so much trouble.

 

[Salsa]

fuckin people complaining about diagonal movement, now getting around is just plain slower

input lag still there with vsync btw

 

[Truant]

Can anyone with AnonymityNetwork VPN accounts lend me theirs for like ten minutes so I can download the patch?

 

[QuantumBro]

Holy crap, the patch fixed load times by a ton, was less than 5 seconds for me to load my file, I guess I should probably re enable v-sync and triple buffering now.

Are you also sprinting past her when she charges and turning around? I seem to take too much damage by the second or third.

Is the patch for PC only?

Hell yea! now my hardest difficulty no kill run will be way more tolerable.

 

[bob page]

Okay, console folk: 360 or PS3?

Is it just a case of load times and brightness differing?

I went with the 360 version after much indecision. It looks like the PS3 version has more aliasing and a bit longer load times.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Sidequesty folks, what is this line a reference to?

Spoiler

"did he have the shirt, too?"

Spoiler

I didnt even take damage I think. As soon as Eliza told me she was coming I ran backwards from her and tossed a mine down. She would get stunned and I would shoot her. Then she would keep going after me for her second and third hit. The Heavy Machine gun chews her up if shes standing still.

If you have 3 mines and the firepower you should be able to take her out after her first attack.

 

[Deadbeat]

NOOOOOOOO they fixed the diagonal running.

 

[jediyoshi]

Oh god, they patched out the diagonal faster movement aug. I'm still in withdrawal and keep moving diagonally down streets out of habit.

 

[Blizzard]

NOOOOOOOO they fixed the diagonal running.

See Exodus, some people liked this sort of thing. ;_;

 

[luka]

Not something that can be fixed.

 

[x3sphere]

Loading on first launch only takes 2 seconds for me now

Anyone? I need this patch naao.

 

[Ikuu]

Ah, nm.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Finished the game and viewed all endings. I haven't finished DX:GOTY yet but someone said all the endings are canon to the multiple endings to the original. Is that true?

 

[coopolon]

My load times are now 10-12 s, down from 40-50s earlier. Wonderful support.

 

[Enco]

:lol what's your play time.

 

[/XX/]

I still think the E3 2010 trailer was the best.. I get goosebumps watching it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEL5oq8cVPk

Yes! The posterior version that incorporated some of the scenes from the game's TGS 2010 trailer is even more exciting for me, if that is possible:

Sorry, alphaNoid, now I see that I posted the same version of the trailer! Seeing that you mentioned the E3 2010 trailer, at first I thought it was the first one published, and not this.

 

[vaelic]

how many hours?

 

[GhostRidah]

:lol what's your play time.

I think he just saved before the end and beat it each time and choose a different ending.

 

[BobsRevenge]

Here is how I play:

ESDF for movement
T holster
G throw grenades
A cloak
X other augmentation
C other augmentation
V mark and track
ALT toggle cover
SHIFT iron sights
SPACE crouch
LMB fire
RMB jump
R use
W reload
Q inventory
MMB sprint
Thumb mouse button Takedown

I tried to comprehend this, but my mind refuses to understand.

Space for crouch?
RMB for jump?
MMB for sprint?

This is pure madness sir. You might want to get yourself checked out.

 

[Deadbeat]

wow 3.5 seconds to load a save. Definitely doing a second playthrough soon.

This is pure madness sir. You might want to get yourself checked out.

Maybe hes so crazy hes sane and were all insane for judging him.

 

[kharma45]

It's Steam, you got like 10 language versions to download. The only question is if changing the language makes you redownload the whole game.

Sorry, should've specified. I meant the console versions, specifically the 360 one.

 

[Enco]

I think he just saved before the end and beat it each time and choose a different ending.

I realised that as I was typing out my post but it would still be nice to know what time he got it done in.

 

[Glass Rebel]

So living in Europe and not being able to play the game actually saved me nerves because there's a patch out now? THANK YOU BASED GABEN!

 

[Dennis]

Yeah, its nice of those North American suckers to beta test the game (for free!) for the rest of us.

Tomorrow, we play the REAL game.

 

[NIN90]

Thanks for beta testing, America.

 

[Dakota47]

That is actually the only good thing about regional releases. Just 75 minutes to go by the way.

 

[GhostRidah]

Well I completed the game at 31 hours on hard if that helps, I missed a lot to.

 

[MrCompletely]

excited for all our European friends, get ready!

 

[Enco]

Sounds good to me!

It's gonna be a good day tomorrow.

[MedIC86]

Im in Europe, will our game be patched right away as soon as it unlocks @ 00:00 ?

 

[jim-jam bongs]

I spent roughly 6 hours yesterday replaying the first mission to try different things and make sure I didn't miss anything interesting.

There was a moment when I was in a lift looking out over the skyline when the music swelled, and I nearly wept tears of joy. If you told me it was Vangelis I'd believe you.

I found a basketball court and a couple of thugs standing nearby. Still couldn't get the ball in the hoop after, what, 10 years?

The story is far more personal than Deus Ex. The original game ended up feeling like an extended X Files episode, Human Revolution feels like Bladerunner.

Superlative.

 

[FallingEdge]

The patch should just happen automatically correct?

 

[Moaradin]

Thanks for beta testing, America.

And I don't regret any of it. I haven't really even delved into the game yet even though I have 5 hours playtime. Mostly been learning the ropes so far.

 

[Derrick01]

Wow that patch was a godsend. My times have been cut in half pretty much, even more for interior places that are somewhat small like LIMB clinics. A give me deus ex playthrough is now feasible!

 

[Ferrio]

Oh that's great to hear, vsync off was killing me. Hopefully the boss fight i'm at now won't cause me to rage.

Just no ..... ..

OT: Will only play tomorrow .. yay for work and stuff :<

 

[The English Conquistador]

Is the retail version of Deus Ex Human Revolution attached to Steam?

 

[indigo-cyclops]

i did not play the game yet but can anyone tell me

Spoiler

in the art book you see a location called Panchaea’s Outer Ring, looks pretty cool. is this something you get to in the game or just random art for deus ex?

Spoiler

There is an achievement that says something about an "island paraside" or something to that effect, so it must be the place

 

[BrassMonkey1010]

I'm playing this on ps3 and I am really impressed how it looks and is running.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Wait, loading has been patched?!
