[release][h2]WHAT IS DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION?[/h2]

[list][*]The game takes place during the year 2027, 25 years before the original Deus Ex. Nano-technological augmentations have yet to be developed and bio-mechanical augmentations are the current state of the art. The main character, Adam Jensen, is a private security officer with a company that specializes in these augmentations. After he witnesses a chilling attack on his company, which leaves him horribly injured and forced to undergo augmentation to survive, "the conspiracy begins." The visuals are a combination of cyberpunk and Renaissance aesthetics, resulting in a futuristic-looking Baroque world.

Adam Jensen will be voiced by Elias Toufexis.

[*]The player will visit five metropoles during the course of the game, including Detroit, Shanghai and Montreal. In addition, the protagonist will have his own apartment where he may store his secrets and collected information. The events in the game will lead to the formation of UNATCO from the original game.[/list][/release]

[Vaught]

Yay. Now I have a new thread to rant about how a sniper rifle round to the head doesn't kill in one shot, but a prod to the butt knocks them right out. :buddy:

[redBadger]

Re-work the thread when you have time so it isn't copy/paste material.

[DainBramageStud]

If anyone wants to add that massive pile of concept art from that last thread feel free; I'm not doing it because my arms still ache from continually copy/pasting the BBCode in the OP because the quote feature doesn't work when threads are locked :argh:

[QUOTE=redBadger;30137429]Re-work the thread when you have time so it isn't copy/paste material.[/QUOTE]

Will do.

[Cyclocius]

Damn, didn't mean to close the last thread :frown:
I thought the post limit had increased Garry!

[Vaught]

Decreased. :eng101:

[QUOTE=Vaught;30137413]Yay. Now I have a new thread to rant about how a sniper rifle round to the head doesn't kill in one shot, but a prod to the butt knocks them right out. :buddy:[/QUOTE]

I never had any trouble with killing (normal) people with a single headshot, being it the stealth pistol or the sniper rifle. Obviously Men in Black and MJ12 Commandos take a little more than that.

[Super Muffin]

I only want the soundtrack and art book as far as extras go. I just hope this regions business doesn't ruin my dreams. :saddowns:

[DainBramageStud]

If anyone wants to make a banner while I'm reworking the OP, feel free.

[koekje4life V2]

I swear someone is going to post that motivator of Deus Ex and how someone is going to reinstall it because we mentioned it.

[escher]

I need to get a better computer before this comes out. I refuse to play this game on the Xbox. It won't feel right.

[QUOTE=koekje4life V2;30140958]I swear someone is going to post that motivator of Deus Ex and how someone is going to reinstall it because we mentioned it.[/QUOTE]

I reinstalled it yesterday because I watched a video of this game.

[Cyclocius]

I already have it installed :smug:

[imadaman]

No.
23rd for NA, 25 for Aus and 26 for EU

[imadaman]

Quit your whining, I'll be in army then.

[VistaPOWA]

[QUOTE=MasterG;30142401]What, why do we get it a whole 3 days later in Europe? That's bullshit.[/QUOTE]

I was asking the same from myself.

The last time I bought a game that had a delayed release, a "friend" of mine spoiled the whole plot in a message consisting of 6 words.

OP Homie, resize pictures please

[kukiric]

I want the Collector's Edition so much, but it costs like 2 copies of the regular edition just for the figurine and cover. If I'm lucky, I'm getting it in July as long as it doesn't run out :buddy:

I scanned over the code on the background and I suspect it might be from the game source. At least it's C++ (syntax, pointers, NULL and a STL container) and a quick Google search returns nothing. And there's a glimpse of m_alertMode in the top-right corner. :engleft:

[Cyclocius]

So we will be encountering her then. Interesting.

Commando and MIB, I understand. Normal MJ12 troop? Oh christ why don't you die :gonk:. (Playing on Hard, btw.)

So I was in the Templar Castle where snipers love to hang out. I figured "Heh, lookit dese nerds, gonna bop 'em all." Hit one on the head, dead center, right behind him. He jerks and turns around. I slap him again with the rifle and he dies, but two guys behind him with rifles charge me. One shot and I die. I was at 100% HP.

This is when I ditched killing and relied on my prod more. Owie.

Funny because he is white or because he is black?

[QUOTE=Da Fat Cat v3;30145990]Funny because he is white or because he is black?[/QUOTE]

He looks very different, my previous playthroughs have been with default JC and white Paul. Black Paul just looks really funny.

Damnit, gimmie the trailer already.

[hexpunK]

I still want those bitching augmented sunglasses. But with my prescription lenses in.

And as much as I want to pre-order this, especially one of the special editions, I just don't have the time or money to play games and it's only going to get worse when I go to uni, for some reason my parents insist on me leaving my PC at home.

[redBadger]

Tell them of all the benefits it will provide.

I did explain that a laptop is going to be expensive as piss if I want to be able to use it for programming constantly, large projects will destroy it, and I am planning on doing Software Engineering. Might wait until it gets nearer the time and have another whack at it.
