Very nice! Still, I am looking for that one that is on the inner back of the Blu-Ray case: Adam standing next to a window, you can see his mirrored image in it and looking to the right, to the city during the night. It is awesome, I fail at finding it though

Here you go.

 

[TP17]

Just picked this up, looking forward to playing it later =D

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Here you go.

Yes!!! That's the one. Thank you very much.

Anyone platinumed the PS3 version yet? Is it a chore like jRPGs?

 

[SlasherJPC]

Just got an achievement for (not plot related)

dropping a basketball in the hoop.

I high fived myself.

I laughed my ass off with that because I had to stack barrels in order to do it and when that happened. I was cracking up! This is why not knowing achievements ahead of times is great!

 

[subversus]

yeah, I just got that achievement too.

 

[Dilly]

I used the basketball to launch it into someones groin.

Too bad they didn't react to it.

 

[KAOz]

Yes!!! That's the one. Thank you very much.

Yepp, got the Platinum this morning.

And no, not a chore at all. Technically, you can do the Platinum in one playthrough if you spoiler yourself and follow a walkthrough. But nah, really fun to get all trophies. No grinding at all.

Maybe they had... Balls of steel.

I just figured you can find

Malik's body with her eyes wide open and a bloody hole on the forehead in harvesters' hideout if you didn't save her

I read somewhere that

if the helijet explodes with her inside, her body is burnt and mutilated in the harvesters hideout. Not sure if its true but it sounds awful.

I'm sure its been posted, but G2Play are selling Explosive Mission Pack keys for Steam at a whopping AU$6.65 (not sure what they're listed as in US).

On which visit to Hengsha?

 

[Stallion Free]

It's 7.11$ in America. I'm not giving G2play that kind of money for a pre-order bonus, no way in hell.

Heck, both

Unfortunately not.

Bah oh well, lets hope we get it as DLC as soon as possible.

 

[Wallach]

Heck, both

First visit - Hung Hua Hotel bottom floor, side room of Alice Garden Pods (turn left on first floor of main hall)

Second visit - Dealer from Alice Garden Pods moves to Youzhao District SE corner (street level), you'll also come across a third when you're leaving the Harvester Hideout (sewer level)

Stack up some of the barrels next to the hoop and just drop the ball in.

I made that shot after I got the strength aug. Stand by the fence with the hole in it and shoot a high arc shot.

 

[Septimius]

When I was buying Deus Ex, I decided to use a 'savers search engine', for a lack of a better name. I found it at half the normal retail price, and I was happy to buy it from that store online. When I got it, it was apparently the Limited Edition (I guess I technically pre-ordered the game), with the Explosive Mission Pack. I enjoyed that surprise.

This game really, really hits the spot for me. I'm completely in love with it. It give me the dose of sci-fi, good story, open world, exploration-galore, figure-out-your-own-way type of feel that I've been unknowingly jonsing for.

 

[Derrick01]

You can do what ToD said or if you're feeling lucky you can try to throw it way up in the air and have it try to sink down in it.

I tried that about 35 times before I finally got it to go in but I already had the achievement because I took the easy road (meaning what ToD said :lol)

 

[pahamrick]

That achievement seems to be glitched, too. When I was screwing around trying to get it I

threw the ball high up at the building, and it fell down right next to the net. Didn't go in, just fell straight down to the left of the rim and I got the achievement for it.

Discovered that too. It almost felt disrespectful.

 

[Neiteio]

Well, I played from 10 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. last night, returning to Hengsha and

saving Malik

. I had been doing a pacifist run, but since I had likely botched it earlier when a gangbanger fell unconscious into electrified water, and since no matter how hard I tried I couldn't knock out/stun gun/tranq/PEPS the various soldiers in time to save her, I decided to go in guns blazing, reacting like a cop would/should, namely, violence only to protect. After all: I didn't ask for this.

Pretty epic fight, I must say: ran in and machine pistoled a couple guards, typhooned a heavy and another guard, threw EMP mines as I beat a retreat to heal behind the ship, heard the mines go off destroying the boxguard, ran back in machine pistol blazing, shot the red barrels next to two guards, typhooned some more, ran upstairs and gunned down the snipers, save for one I did a lethal takedown on, and then... finally... the smoke of hell lifted, and my friend was saved.

Anyone else throw peace to the wind to save her?

 

[Wanace]

I shot the ball and it landed like this:

Combat is piss easy when you make a right build for that. Just cleared out all Belltower guards in Hengsha with a shotgun and a revolver.

old? UK chart news:

After more than 7 years, Deus Ex returns to the All Formats Chart in style as Square and Eidos Montreal’s ‘Deus Ex: Human Revolution’ debuts at No1, just 26,000 units short of outperforming previous title Deus Ex: Invisible War’s lifetime sales in just 2 days.

Xbox 360 is the format of choice with a 57% share, followed by PS3 with 31% and PC 13%.

Combat is piss easy when you make a right build for that. Just cleared out all Belltower guards in Hengsha with a shotgun and a revolver.

I made a hacker build and I'm finding combat still really easy. (I upgraded my arm strength to smash through walls, but I can't think of any other upgrades I've got for "combat"). Headshot with upgraded pistol? Dead. Dead. Dead.

I'm usually a run and gun guy, but.. I really think a Violent Stealth run here could be pretty easy (on Normal, at least)

 

[BladeRunner12]

I'm doing so badly with the stealth stuff, I'm going to have to restart and play with all guns blazing I think. I just keep running out of ammo all the time when doing it stealthy hehe.

First PC mods are starting to be released, here's Gibbed's Mod Pack.

Anyone seen any other mods about for the PC yet?

I'm not saving her this time so it would be interesting to see.

That story was old before disco died, bro. You've brought shame to your clan.

 

[Vistrix]

I'm running through the whole game again after failing to get the pacifist achievement somehow...

I plan on just speed running most of the way on easy mode, ignoring most enemies. Ill get barely any experience, but all I want is that achievement!

How many people here have managed to get Pacifist? Any tips?

perhaps we should switch to hard.

It's a nice callback as well, because Deus Ex 1 and 2 and System Shock had the same thing.

What was the point of choosing non-lethal or lethal at the beginning? Because i chose non-lethal, but i'm still able to kill people. I did killed a few and saw some points appearing to the left of my screen, but i still don't know what this is all about.

you get different weapon for start. Tranquelizer gun for non-lethal

You either get a murder weapon or a sleep inducing weapon depending on what you say.

Vampires Masquerade Bloodlines also had it but you had to use a severed head instead of a ball.

Are you skipping all of the dialogue?

 

[Bisnic]

Is that it? I mean, i don't lose XP points or items or some achievements if i kill people instead of just putting them to sleep or knocking them out?

 

[Turfster]

... Seriously?
Well, a good tranq takedown nets you the most XP, and you can't get the pacifist achievement if you kill people, if that's all you care about...

 

[Aquavelvaman]

Is that it? I mean, i don't lose XP points or items or some achievements if i kill people instead of just putting them to sleep or knocking them out?

There is an achievement for not killing anyone. The game doesn't punish you for it besides that.

 

[33-Hit-Combo]

Less XP for lethal. Also will affect a no-kill achievement, obviously.
