The evidence locker? You can climb/jump a fence, go through the sewers and I think there was a third way as well.

They intended a player going for a 'full' experience to get roughly 80% of the augs by the end of the game. The choice is more when you get your augs and in what order.

Agreed, like I said a page back it feels like for the most part the experience is homogenized in this regard. A slight blemish, along with the no melee/odd energy use, nothing too bad though.epmode said:

as weird as it sounds, it's the swimming that gives DX1's levels the edge.
Human Revolution's levels are still incredible. I played DX1, DXHR and Invisible War roughly the same way. I'd look for as many entrances as I could find. Invisible War was painfully unimpressive, except for one mission early in the game. DX1 and DXHR are fantastic, and even after looking, they still surprise me. I can be in an area, find an exit, and discover an entirely new entrance that way.

I never touched swimming because everyone in the world said it was useless. Maybe that's why.

Well, a lot of the water alternate routes that I entirely avoided involved me upgrading swimming so I was like "Naahhhhhhh".wutwutwut said:

This was something I really liked about Deus Ex, on replaying I would take all sorts of skill/aug combinations to change up my playstyle. In one where I forced myself to max out swimming first, I ended up finding routes I never would have before.wutwutwut said:

No doubt. I was extremely disappointed with Bioshock's departure from System Shock's more complex mechanics. I was expecting an evolution and instead I got a regression.epmode said:
This game, on the other hand, is everything I hoped for it to be. There are some minor things I have issues with, but the experience as a whole is most certainly worthy of the Deus Ex name. Human Revolution is definitely one of the best games I've played in this generation. It's right up there with Bayonetta, Red Dead Redemption, and Vanquish. Eidos Montreal did a fucking fantastic job.
Nope, you simply didn't need to upgrade swimming beyond moving from untrained to trained. Trained gave you enough oxygen to survive most routes, and you had enough oxygen tank thingies for the rest.The Stealth Fox said:
edit: the worst I remember was that underwater aug upgrade canister in Hong Kong guarded by one of those monsters. I remember it taking me two oxygen tanks to get that.

may be a repost but...LOL
Not to derail, but was Bioshock ever explicitly supposed to be another System Shock game in the same way Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a Deus Ex game? DX:HR is a direct sequel (prequel) to Deus Ex in the same franchise. I always thought Bioshock was more of a spiritual successor in terms of mood and themes, not a direct sequel in the same franchise through gameplay mechanics.
My thoughts on the ending.
While I love the game's ending style and how it told me what had happened to society after the whole Panchaea incident, I am really irked by how they didn't unravel whatever happened to the characters. Is it canon that everyone in Panchaea died after it self-destructed or something? I understand that the game is about humans and society, not so much the character themselves, but still...

The hotel that you start on top of when you're flown to Hengsha. On the ground floor of the hotel there's a sliding door where you'll find the weapon merchant.A Human Becoming said:
You know, my only serious quibble with the game is that by the end of it you can get way too many praxis points. They should have set the limit at around 15 fewer points I think.
That's unrelated. Steam pops up update news whenever it detects a game exiting, properly or not.

check the wall on the first floor. think wolfenstein.
wutwutwut said:
It is about how you get there not what you look like when you arrive.
Semi-End area spoilers...
By the time you reach the end, the amount of praxis points you have won't amount to much. It is much more about how you ucstomize yourself along the way.
