My god, those eyes. It looks like everyone's got PTSD.

Oh shit, he's going to do HR. :excited:
Huh, waddya know. He did Invisible War afterward. Gonna have to watch that later when i get back home.
I really enjoyed IW, i know it wasn't superior in anyway but I really liked it. I enjoyed the game world the most, while it was simplified I still managed to find a lot of enjoyment in the game.

I honestly preferred Invisible War over the initial release of Human Revolution. That's not to say that I thought either were good, though. The Director's Cut of HR blows both out of the water.

Wow, I completely forgot this game even existed.

I enjoyed the game world the most, while it was simplified I still managed to find a lot of enjoyment in the game.[/QUOTE] I'm on the flipside of the coin. All the changes between DX1 and it I would've been able to overlook, but all together it feels so very disconnected from the original and feels more like a weak spiritual successor than a continuation of the franchise - The largest factor in to that probably being the aesthetic; In DX1 even though it's set 50 years in the future, all the buildings are still concrete and steel and most places are the same lived-in, rat-ridden shitholes they're based on, just with the odd bit of "futuristic" technology grafted on. Pretty much everything in it is extremely plausible bar a few minor details. IW sacrifices all that and more.
Okay, AWARDS TIME!
We've had so much ross over the last month. Hopefully he can keep up the pace.
I never did beat human revolution, I should probably do that before he makes a video on it.
Totally agree with Ross on one thing: it's a good game when you consider it not a Deus Ex game. As a Deus Ex game it's a spit in faces of all old DX fans. But I'm not an old DX fan and I actually like this change of direction from cyberpunk to sci-fi (guess it's more of my thing). Simplified gameplay doesn't bother me either, as long as it's fun. And it is. Ross proved that. Also, something he didn't mention - all these problems IW has came from the fact that Ion Storm Austin rushed the game, so it was practically done at 75%.
The game is worth playing just for the secret ending, the [sp]developer quotes[/sp] are absolute comedy gold. My favorite one was [sp]being able to summon a certain coworker by dropping a penny on the floor so he'd hear it and come looking for it.[/sp]
