Just beat the first mission (3 hours to do it, lol). Saved all the hostages, hacked everything I could hack, and popped a cap in the head of the hostage-taker. I am enjoying the game so far, but its not yet evoking the Deus Ex "feel" for me. In a lot of ways, I think gaming has progressed too much to ever have a game that feels like that again.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution |OT| I never asked for this... It gave me lemon-lime

This is going to be a long last half hour from work, then an even longer bus ride.
A friend of mine got me a Gamestop gift certificate for $30 as a belated birthday present, so on my way home, I'm going to stop off at Gamestop and pick this up if I can. I was actually kind of "meh" on it, mostly because I love Deus Ex so much, and I was afraid that HR would be this big, annoying departure from what I loved about DX so much, but this thread, and numerous other impressions have got me excited about it. And for $30, I can't really complain too much anyway, and if I were to return it/trade it in, I really wouldn't have lost much.
I'm expecting it to be a keeper, though. I remember spending hours at my friends house playing through this game. I even bought the shitty PS2 version to get my fix when I didn't have a PC to play it.
I'm dying to get my hands on this one. Here's hoping GS has plenty by the time I get there. I keep my hype in check, but I'm certainly looking forward to this. This thread has been entertaining, and kept me occupied on an otherwise slow day at work.

i can honestly say the ridiculous levels of bullet nerf almost fucks up this awesome game. picking up boxes of bullets and getting 2-3 from them is not fun or challenging, it's just stupid and makes no design sense. there is nothing fun about having to shoot certain enemies 3-4 times to drop them and then having a useless weapon. oh but wait, i just found 1 bullet! yay!
what a clusterfuck.
what a clusterfuck.
I'm really interested in what those QR codes say, I hope somebody scans them.
Also there was a full phone number on a post-it note on Josie Thorpe's office wall (like, not your usual 555-fake-number). I didn't write it down, but turns out the area code (248) is a Detroit area code!
Dat attention to detail.

After you get the Social Enhancer, you get an interface which analyses how the person you talk to behave in conversations and what strategies he uses. It sums up his character, displays heartbeats and things like that, if the person gets nervous and shows how persuasive you are.
And the best thing is that you can spray some hormones on them to make them behave as you will.
The best conversation I had so far was after the FEMA-Warehouse Quest you, when you have to talk to Sarif himself about the firewall breach. That whole conversation just gave me goose bumps

Played for about 2 hours (360 version), and this game is really impressive. The sound track gives me a tron legacy vibe and fits the game perfect. The game runs and looks great on the 360. The attention to detail is crazy and didn't expect this kind of production values, this game was a blind purchase and had little interest in it untill I read some of your guys impressions.

It's inspired by Rainbow Six: Vegas actually, the director of DE3 worked on RSV titles while at Ubisoft and for a time he was the director of one of them (that might have been cancelled or been released as RSV2? - not sure exactly).

You can see it's the same type of FPS -> TPS cover system.

I can tell that once I learn the games mechanics and make them feel natural, Im going to dig the hell out of this. As of now, Im the worst silent assassin ever. Look both ways, no ones around and walking the opposite direction out of sight, quickly take out guy.... then at least one guy pops out of nowhere like he's throwing a surprise birthday party. lol Just need to get better, but the game is very impressive. Cant wait to play more.

Kinda fucked up to be honest.

There is a computer in the main police precinct that has the login "rdeckard"
Loved seeing that!

Yea I caught that too, that was great.
I was enjoying the game a lot, despite making a few choices that I want to redo but I think I may have completely screwed myself over and may have to restart. The objective is marked M5.
Am I completely screwed?
I accidently hit Square when I didn't mean to and Haas refused to let me into the morgue. I went into the police department the back way and triggered an alarm. When I went in the sewers the alarm went away so I tried again to sneak through and that didn't work. All was normal on the street after I went through the sewers again but when I went in the front door of the station I got immediately killed. When I reloaded I went outside and immediately got killed out there. Both of my saves have me getting killed immediately now.

so has anyone got this game to work with 3D vision? it RUNS but doesn't work properly with loads of effects not properly rendered in 3D and looking a mess.
also, 2D mode works great except tutorial crashes with black screen (where presumably a video is shown) and I have to reboot

Gripe incoming.
Who gives a fuck about blind fire?
They should have copied what real cover based 3rd-person shooters do, meaning that pushing fire should pop you out of cover to take the shot.
Having to hold a direction and then fire doesn't feel half as smooth, at least for me. Maybe it's so jarring because I've been playing a bunch of Mass Effect 2 recently.
I'll adjust accordingly, but ugh at my early experience.

From what someone was saying earlier in the thread, the voice actor for the main character is interviewed in one of the making-of/about movies, and he literally has that voice, like it's not even fake.LuchaShaq said:
*edit* I'm finally going to try jumping forward like 10 months of AMD driver updates. This will probably break some 15 games that I won't know about until later. =P

The cut scene video quality is actually pretty good on my 55 inch, I have no complaints. Its nothing like the pc version you guys are describing
I see nothing about bink video on the back of the 360 game case or manual
