Deus Ex: Human Revolution |OT| I never asked for this... It gave me lemon-lime

I'm still trying to figure out how you guys can run this game well. I'm on a Core 2 Quad and an HD6850 and all settings seen to get me the same framerate with the same frequent slowdown. Turning off Vsync helps a little bit as you can imagine the screen tearing is pretty ridiculous.

It's mostly for reducing screen tearing but without the framerate cuts that v-sync alone may cause.

I kind of agree. I went back to the original Deus Ex before Human Revolution came out, and the game is still great. But it is year 2000 design great, and a lot of mechanics are rough around the edges. Still worth playing and the game holds up the test of time to showcase its brilliance, but everything isn't all peaches and cream anymore in 2011. I'm about 20 hours into Human Revolution right now, and the best compliment I can give the game is I would give it an overall push against the original. There are things I like better about Deus Ex, but also additions I enjoy more with Human Revolution.
I think a remake of the original could be potentially amazing, as long as this prequel is successful. I'd love to fill in the time line between Human Revolution and the original Deus Ex with finishing it off in a remake of the classic.

Could someone point me in the right direction to
Sarif's location on Panchea. I received the message that he's in a machine room right before I head down the elevator to the last boss. Not sure how far I need to back track.

I tried to play it years ago and it felt outdated. I don't think I could give it another try now.
Probably about four hours in or so, just got to jensen's apartment for the first time, and I'm enjoying it. I bought it almost entirely on impulse and having seen all of the praise. I have to say that to anyone who hasn't gotten the game yet, I highly recommend getting the conversation augmentation upgrade early on. It really adds a lot more depth to the conversations and just really impressed me.

same, I was confused as hell when they said that at the end.
I'm really enjoying the game, even going through as a 'no kill' type of player, but I just finished that mission and already I want to start over with a 'kill' gameplay to see the differences. so sweet.
I "stuffed it up" by hanging around the Sarif building too long after finding the quest where someone has been stealing supplies. Not being sure this quest would be available after the main hostage quest, and not being aware that the game uses real time in this situation, I pretty much solved it before even hoping in the helicopter.EatChildren said:
Yet somehow with the hostages dead before I landed at the building, Jensen later referred to being asked by the husband to save the wife. Overpowered seance aug.
You really don't need any other aug either, since people have completed no-aug runs.Meisadragon said:
The aug is actually pretty useful, since even in some of the non-battle conversations it opens up new options for you.
While some augs (hacking, super jump, icarus landing, wall-punching, smart vision) seem to be more useful than others, I can't think of a single aug that's completely useless. Maybe the timer aug?

I don't want to sell all that cool stuff I find. Is there some kind of storage in the game? Or can I drop all the items and return and pick them up later? (Like in my apartement?)

It was such a massive leap in difficulty. I'd only died a handful of times before that battle (usually because of my own stupid decisions, like trying to hack a computer in front of a room of cops), but shit, in that fight you really have no room for error.
edit: I'm ready for weapons/aug/mission DLC. I'm so pleased with the game that I'm more than happy to give those lovely Francophones my lunch money.
No, for example in the conversation with Detective Chase...Lyphen said:
without the aug, you can't convince him to give you the safe code.
if you use pheromones on him instead of convincing him legitimitely to let you into the station, he'll have a different reaction when he's fired.

Just found it. Thanks!

It wasn't a hard fight at all. It was just dumb and boring, which is a stark contrast from the rest of the game in terms of design. The room was obviously designed so you could play it a certain way, but that's about it. And I didn't find that particular way a very fun way to design a boss fight. Considering how heavily influenced the game is by MGS, it is disappointing that they didn't really seem to learn anything from the boss battles in the MGS games.
Ideally I feel that specific boss fight should have had a second level overlooking the base level, filled with cardboard crates. You would start the battle some distance away from the boss and hidden, because the cutscene would end with Jensen ducking into cover. From there you would then either be able to approach the battle from the ground floor like the game is already designed (attacking him with poison and flame barrels, moving from cover to cover along the pillars, zzzzzzz), or you would be able to move along some short stairs to get to the upper level, and move boxes to create holes in cover to shoot at him with your weapons from above.
Once you attack him, he would return fire to destroy all your cover at that spot, so you would have to keep moving. Once you're hidden again, he stops being hostile and starts moving around normally again, so you can repeat. There should also be heavy objects in this top floor, so players with super strength can throw them at him inflecting more damage. In general, having more options on how to fight him would have made it a much better fight.

I think the greatest issue with the bosses is that they clearly had a lot of back story prepared that never ended up getting used. It would have been perfect to have a verbal boss fight with each of them.

Was it me or did we see a cutscene with the 1st boss, smashing Jensen and claiming "you'll never find her!" ?
