Fully legit day one edition (or in this case day minus 3 edition :)). No, no, no. Let gamecrawler do the hard work. 34.85. Amazon currently do it for 42, so that's a fair saving. It is like the previous one. If undecided, then wait. It is good though. Why you pay for additional crap to make this a COD clone beats me. 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. I think thats the braindead "just gone tits up" weapons pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are new augs to experiment with, just got to this point in the game, which clearly cater for a more aggressive approach. Similarly there are some to try out that suit a stealthier approach. The game environment not only caters for both sets of approaches but also allows for much creativity in whichever path you choose. I've spent more time on the side missions so far than the actual main tasks. Just sneaking about and knocking people out, finding vents, access codes, hacks, manipulation through conversation etc. it's very deus ex in that respect. Not shot a single person and intend not to.

Legend_in_blue Posted 22 August 2016 Author Share Posted 22 August 2016 I've now got 6 side missions on the go and I haven't even left the first area yet. The game, as expected, rewards patience. Check in every building, open anything that can be opened, chat with everyone, hack everything etc. and the side missions will pop up from there.

Finnegan Posted 23 August 2016 Share Posted 23 August 2016 Sometimes going loud is as much fun as stealthing past the 100th guy in a row. I usually mix up my play with some stealth and some lethal. Took the same approach in Dishonored, too. Deus Ex isn't a stealth game, it's an RPG with lots of different ways of completing it, one of which is non lethal, another is with sheer brute force if that's what you prefer. It'll never be a "COD clone" but it's been an fps since before Call of Duty even existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most fun aug in the last game turned your whole body in to a 360 degree shotgun. Moreover, I read they've adjusted the XP output in this release so it doesn't weight towards non violent resolution. The whole tagline of the game is to play it and complete it any way you can see how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk3since03 Posted 25 August 2016 Share Posted 25 August 2016 Is it worth me playing a previous game/games or can i just dive straight into this one? Looks cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks cool You could probably just play this, but it is a direct sequal to 2011's Human Revolution and will probably reference events in that game. The orginal Deus Ex and Invisible War completley detached from this set of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never played human revolution so can't say 100% but it gives a quick rundown of what I presume is the story from it. If it was me I would just watch the video and move on to the new one but I'm impatient like that. If you get involved in the story line it might be worth finishing human revolution tho as the video wasn't the best I've seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes massive spoilers. It tells you everything that happened lol. If you're enjoying HR then finish it first. I'm enjoying MD but it is identical, save a couple new augs, a new gun and some upgraded graphics. It feels almost more like a big expansion pack. Not necessarily a bad thing mind.

Legend_in_blue Posted 26 August 2016 Author Share Posted 26 August 2016 A week in with this game and I still like it a lot. It's keeping me away from completing Uncharted 4 anyway so it's doing something right. In places the best way to describe it is "a little bit rough around the edges" but when it's good and gets it right, it's really enjoyable to play.

The People's Hero Posted 28 August 2016 Share Posted 28 August 2016 Splitting my time between this and Enderal (complete mod/conversion for Skyrim). Love Deus Ex and pleasingly, managed to get a bit of challenge out of the game. The satisfaction when you finally find 'that vent' or 'those overhead rafters/ductings' !

Legend_in_blue Posted 28 August 2016 Author Share Posted 28 August 2016 Yes, it is worth spending the time searching every nook and cranny before progressing the story too much. The amount of XP available for hacks, reading journals, discovering new ares etc. is worth it for the praxis kits alone. I've yet to leave Prague itself for the first time and am now playing through the sixth side mission instead. Focussing on stealth, I now have upgrades for level 4 security systems, fully upgraded arms for finding secret areas, and increased awareness in conversation situations. I still have 3 upgrades in the bag ready to use later on. I haven't killed anyone yet and dont intend to. There is an achievement for this at the end. Good game.

You've had the game since before release and you're claiming you've not left Prague yet? You're either very weird or chatting rubbish to appear cool. The game is fairly big, I've done hours of exploring and haven't missed a side mission. I am a completionist. But it's not THAT big. In fact, I'm a little disappointed by the size of Prague.

Perhaps I don't have an extended amount of time each day to become such a established "completionist" such as you claim to be. Now, picking this apart any further would just come across as plain weird and I've not the time to appear as cool as yourself.

Well I've had the game since launch and I've not even left Dubai yet. i think the point being made was you seem to be making out the games a huge brilliant world and that's the reason you've not left Prague yet, if it's actually down to the fact you've not played it for that long bit of a moot point.
