Sorry to say this game wasn't even on my radar. I've never played the first one....
But from what i've seen, apart from dated character design and soem framerate issues, thsi game does seem like fun.
I just might buy the ps3 version. Anyone played the ps3 version allready?

People weren't kidding when they said the mouse aim feels like its emulating a stick

So, does winning social encounters potentially block you from content?

first time entering the Hive club, the bartender directed me up to the lounge to find Tong. Talked to the manager upstairs (unknowing of his real identity), and I failed to convince him to let me see Tong. Then I went back to the bartender, who in exchange for a meeting, gave me a sidequest of hacking three relays to locate a person, and then shaking that person down for some money (or taking her out, or convincing the bartender to let her off the hook). I failed that one as well, then I no longer had a main mission marker on my map, but the quest was still active. I ended up hacking my way into the Hives basement, found a vent which eventually led to Tong's office and I got pre-rendered cut scene of Tong dealing with a Belltower mercenary, in which Jensen hears the info he needs.

Yeah, look a few pages back in this very thread. To sum them up: hacking is very good, jumping is very good, higher strength is very good and then maybe dermal armor.

I won the conversation.
Tong invited me to his basement office and gave me info on the hacker. Picked up the sidequest from the bartender for hacking the relays.

I found it pretty beneficial to upgrade hacking and stealth hacking first.

There is a pacifist achievement so yes, it is possible. It doesnt seem all that hard either. Obviously requires a little more effort than your standard running and gunning, but you at least have a few stun based attacks and weapons at your disposal to make things easy, including non-lethal takedowns.
Just note if you're going for the pacifist achievement you need to sneak/run your way through the intro level without killing anybody. You'll also need to kill bosses, as they dont count.
EDIT: Oh, and I kinda regret using the social aug on

It's great, but after I finish pacifist playthrough I'm going to go stealth+guns. This game encourages you to be stealthy, enemies hit way too hard without Dermal Armor, however it takes a while if you want to take them all out using non-lethal means. Plus you don't get to use fun stuff like Typhoon or Icarus stuns.
All right, just finished the game. Eidos Montreal should be proud of what they created, and I'm very much looking forward to a Deus Ex 1 sequel by the same team.
Hardest part for me was the third boss.
The final boss
I played it on normal, and the game became really easy by the end. I had 10 praxis points left over and nothing else I wanted to upgrade.
DX1 vs HR, is well, hard to decide. HR has fewer mechanics but the ones that are there are mostly better done. The endings for both were kind of meh in my opinion.

I didn't have any augs during the battle, so I had a pretty hard time. The way I finally defeated him was by bringing a friendly turret down and tricking him to appear in front of it. A couple of EMP grenades + 5 seconds of turret fire + heavy rifle was enough. <3 friendly turrets.
The final boss
on the other hand was a pushover, really simple. Beat it first try with three EMP grenades to take down the three turrets + my laser rifle for the women strapped to the pods and Zhao herself.

Do you think hacking turrets counts against it? I was initially going through pacifist style, and it was pretty easy. Though, I realized late, that I did the first level "the proper way" instead of sneaking around all of them.
By that time, I noticed that if you hack a turret and it kills someone you just get "Man down - 10 points"

sometimes the music reminds me of METROID PRIME.

The whole intro section was eerily similar to Mass Effect 2 in both music and structure.

I saw that myself, I only had completed the first mission so just restarted the whole thing. It gave me the chance to start on hard, didn't seem particularly challenging on normal, although I won't complain after coming directly from playing Catherine!

For ppl wondering about Augmentations - get "Explore Free" package:
1. Icarus - 2 points
2. High Jump - 2 points
3. Smashing Walls - 1 point
4. Carrying Heavy Items - 1 point
Total: 6 points
This will allow you not only to select alternate routes, it will also give you a lot of experience for doing so.

I don't get why people keep saying this? Did they not play Deus Ex 1? The stealth is exactly like the original.A Human Becoming said:Even though the stealth is straight from Metal Gear Solid, it's still so rewarding. I guess the formula still works today. I'm also not killing anyone. There is great satisfaction stunning and tranquilizing 8 guys in a row.Only played 5 hours so far but it feels like much more.

No idea. Someone did say that the XP feed marks a hacked turret kill down, so I'm going to assume it counts.
Managed to get the silenced sniper without having the DLC (requires cheat engine to do so) which basically confirms all the DLC items ARE in the game but probably locked out. Unless of course I missed where someone found the silenced sniper in the game without having the DLC.
Now I can start a second 'silent assassin' game once I finish my good guy non-lethal play-through.

You dont need to play stealth. You can play Terminator if you'd prefer.

Yeah, I don't remember doing this fight. Where does it happen?
edit: Oh, nm, now I remember. I used typhoon twice and it ended. Haha, it was too insubstantial to recall for me.
Untracked said:
Any chance you have the Typhoon augment?
When I fought her, soon as the battle started and she rushed me I activated the Typhoon which instantly stunned her so I was able to cheese her by spamming the stun gun until I ran out of ammo. At which point I ran away, and when she rushed me a second time a second typhoon took her out.
Hey, I've been thinking about giving this game a rental because it sounds super cool (story/setting wise) but I have not played the original and I remember playing Invisible War very very briefly at a buddy's. I had a couple questions/concerns before I do though. One is the game length. I've heard from some places it's 30 hours and others it's 20. How long is game if I just worry about the main story and most of the side missions without worrying about doing all the achievements? Secondly, I heard there's quite a bit of stealth which I've never really been into. Would it be enjoyable to play it as a shooter with some hacking/smooth talking to get out of conflicts? Sneaking around corners and in vents with stun guns doesn't really appeal to me and if the game is more aiming you in that direction I think I'll pass.
