Deus Ex: Human Revolution Megathread V2 - Electronic Old Men Running The World - Games

Is every copy of the game going to be on steam? I mean that's what the beta implies, but I dunno, I ordered a physical copy.

[QUOTE=triFeral;30230403]Why do the graphics in this game look bad, but at the same time they look good? It's weird.[/QUOTE] Don't need insane detail to look good. As long as you hit a certain graphical mark while conveying a damn good visual style style it will do fine. Thats exactly what they've done IMO. That and have amazing level designers. [QUOTE=Panthereye;30230459]Is every copy of the game going to be on steam? I mean that's what the beta implies, but I dunno, I ordered a physical copy.[/QUOTE] It will require you to use steam.

[QUOTE=triFeral;30230403]Why do the graphics in this game look bad, but at the same time they look good? It's weird.[/QUOTE] The art style is funky. Characters look like shit (except Adam who's a total badass) but the environments look awesome. Also the leak has shitty textures so that game news outlets could download it quickly (I assume) One thing I hope they fix is the god awful AA.

[QUOTE=triFeral;30230492]I honestly couldn't care about the graphics if the game is going to be this good. I just wish I could pre-order it.[/QUOTE] Me either. I'm a sucker for cyberpunk or anything blade runner inspired. I'm gonna order it on Amazon ASAP its only £34 for the aug edition on PC.

[QUOTE=triFeral;30230403]Why do the graphics in this game look bad, but at the same time they look good? It's weird.[/QUOTE] low res textures and a general lack of high-quality assets because it's a preview copy that is meant for gameplay and storyline testing, not graphics in other words, graphics will look a LOT better when the game is released, don't worry :3: i cant wait to see the game with high res textures and all the necessary assets the style of the game is so awesome that as long as the graphics are "average" on release, it'll blow my mind

I played it a bit... On my 4Gigs of Ram HD5750 the game runs great with everything maxed out and some AA thrown in (Soft Shadows excluded, though I haven't tried using those) And even though the graphics aren't of the quality the full release will have, it still looks amazing. The gameplay flows really well and it has that Deus Ex feel (I wasn't a fan of it back in the day, I was young and dumb) ... The Stealth elements are there, the aggressive elements are there, the way patrols act while patrolling is better than most games... They don't walk from A to B looking at A and B, they will turn and look around while walking, And for those of you who say Oh they see a guy get murdered and a couple minutes later go back to normal, They do. There's a time that passes between the time they're alarmed to when they think a threat is no longer with them so they go back about their business. Plenty of Augmentations and customization on the role you want to play, Reasons to explore around a bit, plenty of options to get from point A to B, including moving objects around to get to higher places I'm impressed, I wasn't interested much in the game but now I'm pre-ordering this shit, it's brilliant I performed a Melee kill and I don't know if it was just a twitchy bug or what, but I could have sworn that while the camera went back to first person perspective after the kill, my guy crouched and stood back up quickly a couple times, as if I tea-bagged my kill automatically

[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;30230016]on good torrents I max out my 20Mb net connection so no[/QUOTE] I get mine at less than 5kb/s.

also i take back what i said about the voice acting it's just sarif. i can't believe they got such an important character such a shitty voice actor when some of the nobodies that give you two-three lines of comments can pull of a far better performance any day

I like Sarif's voice but it doesn't fit his appearance or his character at all.

[QUOTE=69105;30231418]also i take back what i said about the voice acting it's just sarif. i can't believe they got such an important character such a shitty voice actor when some of the nobodies that give you two-three lines of comments can pull of a far better performance any day[/QUOTE] Seriously. After the first mission he IMMEDIATELY blurts out "ADAM!?! WHATS GOING ON IN THERE!?!?!?!". It kills the moment.

[QUOTE=Panthereye;30231455]Seriously. After the first mission he IMMEDIATELY blurts out "ADAM!?! WHATS GOING ON IN THERE!?!?!?!". It kills the moment.[/QUOTE] Agreed. They really should have got someone better I mean he's supposed to be charismatic and a great speaker but you can't really feel it with that voice.

Is this more CPU intensive than GPU intensive?

I have to ask, is Jensen more violent than Denton in regards to disabling enemies? Like, are there any weapons that just knockout a guard without having to shoot?

[QUOTE=Vaught;30231837]I have to ask, is Jensen more violent than Denton in regards to disabling enemies? Like, are there any weapons that just knockout a guard without having to shoot?[/QUOTE] Stun gun. PEPS (from what I remember, correct me if I'm wrong), Tranq rifle, tranq crossbow bolts, knockout takedowns and gas grenades is all I can remember right now. I'm sure there will be more though.

what is the ending of the dxhr prebuild? i'm not totally sure if my game is bugged or it's actually the only thing left in the build.

I'm on my second playthrough, and how do I make zeke give up the hostage and I kill him? :D

I'm sure there will be more though.[/QUOTE] Do Tranq bolts cause the target to fall over a moment later or do they snap right at you and sound alarms/shoot you until the effect takes place? Glad to see there are other KO methods!

[QUOTE=Bob The Poster;30232261]I'm on my second playthrough, and how do I make zeke give up the hostage and I kill him? :D[/QUOTE] Not sure but I specifically remember some journalists saying they decked the hostage then shot Zeke.

I'm not sure if there definitely is tranq bolts in since there is a tranq rifle but I do remember them saying something about it. One can hope. If not there should be more weapons in, some unorthodox as well.

[QUOTE=spekter;30232304]It ends after [sp]you kill Barrett.[/sp][/QUOTE] oh okay. seemed to be a lot shorter than the "12 hours" everyone was talking about.

[QUOTE=Vaught;30231837]I have to ask, is Jensen more violent than Denton in regards to disabling enemies? Like, are there any weapons that just knockout a guard without having to shoot?[/QUOTE] Well it really depends on the player. I mean you could make JC do some pretty fucked up shit, like lighting children on fire.

[QUOTE=Rigged237;30232514]Well it really depends on the player. I mean you could make JC do some pretty fucked up shit, like lighting children on fire.[/QUOTE] I meant that as "Does Jensen have only firearms compared to Denton who had the option of non-vilent/silent takedowns?"

[QUOTE=deloc;30232461]oh okay. seemed to be a lot shorter than the "12 hours" everyone was talking about.[/QUOTE] Yeah I got that feeling too.

[QUOTE=Vaught;30232499]Yay! Wait, does that mean they wake up later? Also, fuck me, I saw the spoiler when I quoted this. :frown:[/QUOTE] People only wake up if an ally wakes them up. [QUOTE=silentjubjub;30232657]Yeah I got that feeling too.[/QUOTE] Replay value and massive fucking around/exploring is included in that 12 hours.

[QUOTE=spekter;30232678]People only wake up if an ally wakes them up. [/QUOTE] Oh good, a reason to actually hide bodies/gas then tranq. Do they still stand in one spot and choke or run around and shoot aimlessly in the gas?

[QUOTE=Vaught;30232735]Oh good, a reason to actually hide bodies/gas then tranq. Do they still stand in one spot and choke or run around and shoot aimlessly in the gas?[/QUOTE] what do you think

[QUOTE=Vaught;30232536]I meant that as "Does Jensen have only firearms compared to Denton who had the option of non-vilent/silent takedowns?"[/QUOTE] Not sure what you're asking but, you get silent takedowns using your augmentations (lethal and non-lethal) along with several non-lethal (silenced?) weapons and obviously, silencers for guns.

[QUOTE=69105;30232823]what do you think[/QUOTE] I think they either stand still and choke on the gas or move around and shoot aimlessly. Which is why I ask for clarification.
