Legend_in_blue Posted 20 August 2016 Share Posted 20 August 2016 There's been very little mention of this on the forum to this point, so I will start the thread (having started the previous Deus Ex thread, 5 years ago!). Launch trailer: My copy arrived today so I will post up impressions later on this week. In the meantime, I hope it is as good, if not better, than the last instalment which was a very good game (bar the end game boss which let it down). Reviews online are on the whole very positive, 85 avg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliall Posted 20 August 2016 Share Posted 20 August 2016 I should really finish the first one lol. I don't tend to watch game trailers, they give too much away, so have no idea what this is promising. I will likely get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is fine by me as human revolution was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend_in_blue Posted 21 August 2016 Author Share Posted 21 August 2016 Completed the initial mission set in Dubai. It plays exactly like the previous game to this point. The inventory system has changed though as has the control scheme. A little awkward using L3 and R3 for cover and crouch. Keep mixing the two up. In terms of difficulty I would recommend the hardest setting. Playing the way it is meant to be played as the difficulty option, too easy. Graphics are fine but nothing spectacular. The gameplay more than makes up for the shortfall in graphics though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing a posted extremely generously early copy. No doubt bought after hours of hunting for the cheapest copy across about 30 different online stores in order to save 10p.

MrSpaM Posted 22 August 2016 Share Posted 22 August 2016 I don't think I ever finished the previous one This one looks ok, more of the same but ok. A lot of the reviews are saying that the story tails off halfway through it. I got a similar vibe from the previous game which is why I stopped playing, which is why I'm a bit on the fence whether to get this at launch or not or just wait for it to go on sale or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 22 August 2016 Share Posted 22 August 2016 Aaaah. I see. I'm surprised these days, even if you have a physical copy, they don't just content lock it until midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't tend to do that on SP games do they, games that require a server perhaps, even No Mans Sky let you play before release they just told you they were wiping your game at midnight on release day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've put a metal gear esque VR mode in they're for them. Never got the problem with MicroT anyway. Unless they give people the edge in comp MP then it's fine, a fool and his money are easily parted if it don't affect me fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only care when they get overly preoccupied with their microtrans to the detriment of the game itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despatched Friday, arrived Saturday. Fully legit day one edition (or in this case day minus 3 edition :)). 5 hours ago, Manwell Pablo said: He's playing a posted extremely generously early copy.

Amazon currently do it for 42, so that's a fair saving. 5 hours ago, MrSpaM said: I don't think I ever finished the previous one This one looks ok, more of the same but ok.

It's stealth, the way it's meant to be played. Hack and stealth, knock people out. No kills. Think your way out of situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
