Deus Ex

I'll try to see DX3 not as a prequel to the first game, because it just doesn't feel like that to me. The game gives me a Deus Ex vibe, but not a "ah, so this happened before the first game!"-vibe.

I checked out some videos of the console version and damn, now I am even more happy that they have changed the interface in the pc version to something that looks more like the original game. This definitive gets bonus points...
 
That would be much better then.

Though, waiting until end of august now just sucks. :) That whole shit totally hyped me up.
 
Kind of funny that Duke Nukem Forever is coming out, and instead of being the glorious return we all expected is instead a turd that forces you to have two guns only and take cover while your health returns in about 4 seconds, while Deus Ex: Human Revolution, something we thought would be another IW, is in fact actually pretty good.
 
Never heard of it being a reboot. Especially because they keep telling everyone that it's set before DX1, storywise.
 
I have never played any game from the series, so this one being a prequel is really well suited for me. As long as the game is good, that is.
It is potentially going to be a good intro to the series to me, or at least I hope so.
 
I don't think that it will be a good intro, because even though it gives an old-school feeling, it's still different from the first game.

So my advice would be to play the first game now, because it's still around two months until Human Revolution gets released. That's enough time to finish it at least once.

I prefer it much more that way. I could not care less about Duke4fuckit. 3D Realms killed that already a long time ago.

Guess you're right. I have enough time to finish both games, maybe even more than once, but I hate that I can't get them anywhere...legally that is. Games like Deus Ex deserve and should be in one's collection.

if you haven't played the first game yet then you are missing out big time. it starts a bit slow but once the story gets going you'll be sucked in like a helpless pathetic cricket into a trapdoor spiders' hole :). seriously, this is one of the best games ever made.
also, you can get it through steam for ~10 bucks.

random dx1 quote:

The checks and balances of democratic governments were invented because humans themselves realized how unfit they were to govern themselves. They needed a system, yes. An industrial age machine.

That's the problem, I can't get it through Steam. Though I don't want to bother you with details.

At any rate, I will try the first game soon enough. Thank ya all for convincing me :wink:
 
I can't stop admiring attention to details presented by Eidos to make the setting believable. From the small things (when one enters human revolution website and has to enter age, years stretch to 2027 - the time when the game takes place) to the monumental ones. Prime example is that the created whole new website www.sarifindustries.com (ingame company) with company history, interviews with customers (!) augmentate yourself subsite and so on. Purely awesome
 
I am not sure if I can talk about it, but I got the demo and played it.

And holy hell, I want this to come out right now. It's basically all the Deus Ex goodness we know with better graphics, voice acting (let's admit it, DE1 was kinda cheesy at some points, especially the French), and art direction. The PC version is pretty runs very smoothly even on my less-than-sub-par PC, there's a ton of augmentation options (I dig the punch-through-the-walls ability), the AI is really smart this time, making infiltration harder but more rewarding, health regenerates slowly as hell so you can't just run and gun and have to plan, the 1st person-3rd person system works surprisingly well and...

...You know what, suffice to say, my pre-order has been placed. My doubts about this have been slowly eroding, and they now disappeared in a grand show of excellent game design. August can't come soon enough.
