It said augmented when I redeemed it on Steam. But after that when it started to download it just shows up as Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

I'm sure the extra content will show up in-game or something....actually I don't know how this usually works since I normally don't buy digital collector's editions that are steamworks. Somebody enlighten us.

Just finished the novel ("Icarus Effect"). It's a very fast, easy read.

Unlike books from some other franchises, you get to spend a lot of time with characters that, from the leak, appear to play major roles in the game. On the other hand, the plot never lets characterization get in the way of the non-stop action.

Overall, recommended.

Yeah, you need to preorder from Steam. Though if you're lucky, you can get the items via drops. I already got Spy's pistol via drop.

Crafting's also an option, I made the sniper that way. It sounds soooo goood.

6 days :((((
 
:/ going to wake up tomorrow, realize it isn't tuesday, and cry myself back to sleep. actually i think i'll go upgrade to augmented edition once i'm done crying.

Crafting is for the crazy people who somehow have spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours of the game to have the actual liberty to say "I happen to have over 50 items lying around and taking space, I can now use those and make 1 single hat, yaay."

I also got that window now that says I got the Team Fortress 2 items even though I bought the game from GreenManGaming, sent a ticket and hope for the best, if not, eh.

That yellow filter is totally only there for certain scenes. While it does dominate the game's aesthetic design, it's not like it's simply something applied over the screen or anything, it's just the way those environments look. Anything which uniformly got rid of that stuff would make some other scenes look really off colour.

To this day I don't know why they went with yellow as the main color for the design in a cyberpunk game, it's everywhere not just the filter, I always thought cyberpunk and Blue are like a husband and Wife, Mario and Luigi,Obsedian and bugs or hobos and booze.

Blue is used in a lot of cyperpunk because of the cold, dirty and grim themes. Hence why a lot of cyberpunk is set on the edge of civilisation collapsing. Human Revolution isn't, and is instead set during a technological renaissance, a 'golden age' if you will.

Your face is gross, but unlike your face, the dominant yellows in DX:HR weren't something that happened by accident and can be appreciated by people other than your mother.

I dig it, and if you don't then I'll be waiting for you outside so we can settle this.

A lot of the visual design (not just in terms of colours) was inspired by Renaissance artwork. The black and gold is also intended to symbolize the new golden age for science and technology that is about to collapse into another dark age.

Also, I would never really associate Cyberpunk with blue. There were plenty of yellows, reds and browns in Bladerunner and it's ilk. Ghost in the Shell isn't exactly super-blue either. I don't remember all that much about the Matrix's visual design because I haven't watched it recently, but I remember it being pretty washed out. Grime, grittiness and hopelessness are usually the words of the day for cyberpunk aesthetic.

Haven't been following this game at all so sorry if these questions have been asked but:

Does the Augmented Edition have any in-game, non-preorder bonuses over the standard?

Do the TF2 items bonus apply to standard edition preorders?

How does his run on an ATI HD 4670? Not sure if I should try it on my laptop or grab it on the 360.

Is there a New Game+ where you keep your skills and such?

I hope a mod quickly comes for a better character model for Adam. He looks hilarious to me in his current state for some reason.
 
Anyone think there will be a preorder bonus unlocker dealy for the PC version? I have the Augmented Edition preordered at Gamestop but I'd prefer to do it on Steam, it's only the temptation of that extra mission with a Deus Ex character cameo that's holding me back.

I'll try to answer this to the best of my knowledge:
1. No.
2. Yes, but it must be preordered on Steam.
3. Dunno.
4. No.

1. Nope. Just the artbook, soundtrack etc. Nothing in-game asides from the pre-order bonuses.

2. Any pre-orders on steam, I believe.

3. Probably better to get it on 360 if that's your laptop

4. Nope

Hmm?

It's a steamworks game, retail copies activate on steam.

I'm aware, but the Steam version comes with some particular benefits for me.

1. TF2 HATS ZOMG
2. It's cheaper
3. I'll get to play it the moment it unlocks, as opposed to the agonizing wait for the store to open and pick it up

Sorry if this has been asked, but does this game support mods at all? This could be the greatest game ever with a modding community behind it.

Thanks guys.

Are the TF2 bonuses available in the TF2 cash shop? I don't play enough TF2 to get it through drops, trades, or crafting, but if all the TF2 preorder bonuses are readily available for purchase I might just grab the 360 version for now.

Well, the pre-order mission was actually commissioned by Gamestop, so since you're in america you'll only be able to get it from there I believe.

It's in the OT. There are no plans for modding tools right now, apparently. Doesn't mean they won't be released later and it for sure won't stop people from making somewhat rudimentary mods without the SDK.

They're in the store, I think. 10$ for the pack? Not sure.

No dev supported modding as far as I know. Not that that's stopped anyone before.

Yeah, they're available now. The weapons are cheap but the accessories aren't.

The catch-all pack is $20.

I'm repeating what was stated by the art guys in several of the videos they've released. I ain't just speculating about their design decisions.

Yeah I know, it's just to say "it's not even required to find an explanation because it's not that unrealistic" :p
