Some more questions for those who've been playing:
1) In general, are the visuals more consistent compared to HR? (I remember HR having some great aesthetics mixed with poor textures, ugly character models, and really low-quality FMVs.)
2) Are the majority of augmentations useful or only a select few again?
3) Is hacking less tedious than hacking in HR?
4) Is the AI better during combat?
5) Is there greater weapon variety than in HR?
Thanks!
I'd say it's still a mixed bag.
As for augments, it's a mixed bag and depends on how the player wants to play. I think the new Augs are just ok.
Hacking is very similar to HR.
AI, not sure, seems like it, but also I feel there are more enemies around at one time then the first.
Variety is pistol, revolver, shotgun, sniper rifle, battle rifle, smg, grenades, gas, etc. I feel like it's more robust but it's been years since I played HR.
These aside, still loving it.
