[QUOTE=Pridit;29674792]Just watched the UI video, I like how you can use the numpad to enter codes. That will be quite handy.[/QUOTE]
Aw shit I just realized I don't have a numpad on my keyboard.

Any mention of Jordan Shea so far? I thought she'd be ripe for a cameo at some point; she was one of the first UNATCO mechs, right?

Not heard anything yet nor is she mentioned in the book. She worked with Anna/Gunther which probably was very recent in DX1. She seems too young to be in DXHR.
On chapter 10 in the book.
SHIT IS GETTING INTENSE I've been addicted to reading it for several chapters straight.
Also am now totally pumped for the game, moreso than I was before.

They probably just like making up retarded words. I know someone like that. He thinks it makes him look cool.

Wasn't it like PC Gamer or something that was complaining how the X-axis is a bit more sensitive than Y-axis?

If that makes it into the final game, I'm gonna be mad.
I'm getting tired of hearing about the hostage mission. I hope Eidos lets previewers try out some different levels soon.
I really want to pre-order but I'm torn between this and The Witcher 2. Hopefully I can get a job this summer so I can get both. :ohdear:
Get booothhh
the time between them is big enough to warrant getting both. If you cant get a job you'll probably be able to find $50 worth of small change in couches over the course of 3-4 months

According to James Swallow (dude who wrote Icarus Effect and was also the writer of several Warhammer novels), he's done a lot of the writing for the in-game books you can find laying around too. Plus worked tightly in the actual storyline of the game.
I pre-ordered this more than a year ago and so far it's living up to my expectations. Good work so far!

Just save up a bit. Deus Ex 3 comes out in August, so if you put a little aside every month you'll get enough.

I want to see what hacking looks like in the PC version. Didn't they completely rework the interface?
Hacking looks like a brain tumor.

Buy the Witcher 2, it comes out sooner.

I'm thinking that if I can't get a job I'll do some yardwork for the elderly neighbors. They're mean as hell but the games will be worth it.
Is the Icarus effect worth buying?
Yes.

[quote=daeda]Most previews will go online tomorrow, but again some sites have regional exclusivity. I played on 360, but I have received a PC copy yesterday.
Anyway, here's my (Dutch) preview: [url]http://www.gamer.nl/preview/68849/de...x-360-hands-on[/url]
Ill give you some summaries on things I think you'll all find interesting, but asky questions and Ill answer as good as I can.
City Hub
Detroit is probably the size of Hong Kong in the original game and requires no loading for outside environments. It includes a Limb Clinic, several Apartment Complexes, the Police Station demoed at Gamescom, a criminal neighborhood and a lot of roads. People are living their lives there, some smoking sigarettes, some playing on their phones, even a punkster dancing in the subway station.
Experience
You earn experience by completing objectives in missions, both main and sidequests, by completing objectives without being seen, by killing armed NPCs and by exploring. You will get more for non-lethal as well as from takedowns. How this will turn out in balance is to be seen as I cant tell for every player. However, it is safe to say that anyone who kills no one but does a non-lethal approach gets more points IF he attacks all enemies. A hostile player in its turn is more likely to shoot everybody, but will get less points per head.
AI
AI is great, though there are still some bugs when they dont respond to seeing you quick enough. I assume this will be fixed over time.[b] The AI combines the best of Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six while maintaining a DX feel. They have 4 stances: neutral, suspicious, alarmed and hostile. [/b]In normal they do their routine, in suspicious they suspect you are somewhere, in alarmed they know you are somewhere but not where and in hostile they will attack. Hostile enemies will search for cover based on their preferred range. Fir example,[b] I saw a sniper running to the back of a level to keep his distance from me. [/b]
Freedom of Exploration
Overall I'd say that, though the main missions are still shaped in an go from A to B way (except for the city missions), there is plenty of room for exploration. First, I want to point out that DXHR is competing with nostalgia. That is, the original game also had a lot of go from A to B mission with some side paths, but in memory only the best parts remain the longest. Id compare most missions Ive seen until now with missions like Airfield or MJ12 Prison, again except for the City missions. In Detroit, the only city seen so far, almost every part of the level is connected, either by sewers or by vents. For the police station I found 4 entrances for example. Highlighting does help in discovering, but Its mostly your own ability to thing about the obstacles logically. For example, if a path is blocked by electricity, some players will instantly know they can use crates to cross it, while others will not. This is not relying on highlighting. As such, its hard to determine whether the game is more or less complicated than the first game, since I already learned a lot of tricks from the first Deus Ex.
World Depth
The amount of work put into the world is stunning. JJB jokingly said they could fill an Ikea catalogue with all their furniture etc, but he's actually right. Ive rarely seen a gameworld filled with so much content. They made tons of brands, just being advertised on the streets, they made fasion, they invented technology.[b] For a cyberpunk universe, DXHR is simply great and for gaming as a whole, it has little competition.[/b] Furthermore, the game is filled with easter eggs and coversations and emails giving extra depth to the game. I wont spoil them, but I had a lot of laughs from hidden stuff throughout the game.
DXHR vs DX
Like I noted before, its hard to compare DXHR to the original due to nostalgia. But I can say this: the combat and stealth are better. Period. AI responds better and aiming/shooting is spot on. COver based stealth just works better than light and dark without knowing whether you are actually hidden, and its easier to trick the AI, making them seem more human. I still did miss some extra deep conversations though, which is mostly caused by the fact that the ost people you meet in the beginning of the game are already hostile. While Gunther, Anna and Walton where introduced as friendlies, Barret and co are instantly enemies and it will probably take untill later in the game before they will be given more depth. Pritchard and Sarif are interesting though and I'm eager to see more people.
Will update further [/quote]

I'm on chapter 10 now and shits been intense for about 5 chapters in a row so far, so yes
Don't expect some super insightful and intellectual, it's essentually offical fanfiction from one of the writers of the game after all (who is experienced in writing books on games), but its still really great.
I just got up to chapter 8 after being pleasantly surprised to find out that I could get it at a manageable price for day-before-payday in ebook format. That was at about 6pm, it's 2am now. I should go to bed.
This always happens, why do I get books when I know they just make me stay awake forever :downs:

By the way why do only like 4-5m people post in this thread? I would have expected a lot more hype for this title especially from pc gamers.

I hope this is true, but it's probably going to end up being a case of some consoletard popamole loving guy thinking that the lack of accuracy with the guns in 1 was a problem rather than a function.

answer me this: if he was a fan of the original deus ex, how the hell would he even [b]be[/b] a "consoletard popamole loving guy", as you put it?
yeah I guess it's not impossible but it's bloody unlikely

Hell I'd be posting wildly if the release wasn't still 3 months away thanks to final fantasy online.
Only thing that would accomplish is make the wait seem longer and more painful than it already is.
