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

[QUOTE=PunchedInFac;30239622]Is that a demo or a leak?[/QUOTE] leaked press release 33% of the game [editline]4th June 2011[/editline] What were the first 2 augs you got installed? I grabbed a CASIE (social enhancer) and the icarus landing module. They still prove useful for me. Walk staircases? Just jump out of the window..

People talk about gamma issues when running this game in DX11, but I fail to see the problem - the game looks just fine to me.

Definitely pre-ordering now I've played it. I was worried at first that it'd majorly differ from the original being a console game too but everything is great.

[QUOTE=Lukeo;30239767]Definitely pre-ordering now I've played it. I was worried at first that it'd majorly differ from the original being a console game too but everything is great.[/QUOTE] So purely because its on console makes it a 'console game'? Is this the same as when people talk about 'zombie games' because they have zombies in them? Its not a genre nor a type of game so I don't know why people talk about it like it is.

Wait there is a quest involving hookers and undercover cops? Can somebody tell me what quests there are? I was positive I had searched everywhere and talked to everybody!

[QUOTE=Falchion;30239167]The bad guys at the start are always the real good guys. It's Deus Ex tradition. Edit: Also a radio in a very shady apartment (looks like illegal aug surgeries) plays the UNATCO level music from Deus Ex 1.[/QUOTE] I was going to use the automatic unlocking device thingy to get there but I accidentally blew up the door

[QUOTE=Andy;30239821]Wait there is a quest involving hookers and undercover cops? Can somebody tell me what quests there are? I was positive I had searched everywhere and talked to everybody![/QUOTE] Check out [sp]the area near the DRB gang territory - there should be a group of hookers there. The one you need to speak to will actually call your name if you are near her.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Meisterhd;30240749][IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/mmpoj7.jpg[/IMG] time to start playing ;)[/QUOTE] Enjoy.

So would you say this game is worth my money?

[QUOTE=cyclocius;30239185]But the NSF were genuinely terrorists, they beat up the Mole People and killed loads of people.[/QUOTE] And the bad guys in Deus Ex human revolutions beginning will kill the factory employee hostages with a gas bomb and you cant save them if you stroll around the office too long before reporting in to the helipad.

Anyone notice the cables in the hostage mission are labelled "NCC-1701-D"?

I can't help myself not trying to think about the story: [sp]Something tells me Megan is still alive: An email at Sarif industries between two employees, that the DNA results were never made public. The medical examiner was brought off the case and someone else checked the burned corpses. Some german voice acting preview, the conversation between Adam and Eliza: Adam: "Who is involved in this as well, where is Megan Reed, who ordered the kidnapping." Eliza: "I cannot tell you more, I'd really like to, but she won't let me do it however." What the heck? I still don't like the sound of that whole patient x & betrayal from Megan. As well as the data file that says if she would tell anyone all the details about it, it could bring Sarif down.[/sp] Fucking cliffhangers. [editline]4th June 2011[/editline] Someone said yesterday a lot is explained in "Icarus Effect", but never replied to my question what all of this is about.

They brought in something (random female corpse to portray Megan) then burned everything to keep it a secret.[/sp] I haven't read the books though, so I can't guarantee that my theory isn't disproven in one of them.

Also worth to note that in the book [sp]they did mention some of the scientists they wanted to retrieve weren't cooperative so Megan could indeed be alive.[/sp]

thank you both for the input, I like where this game is going. I even heard the German voice actor of [sp]Tracer Tong[/sp], pretty sure he is in Shanghai, but I guess this was confirmed already somewhere. the German voice acting however makes me want to stab my eardrums, I'll stick to the English version even though some people here say it's crappy, I really enjoy it.

Yeah [sp]Megan is clearly still alive[/sp]. Even without any evidence I would stick to that because a plot like this would never not pull a trick like that.

Is there any information about [sp]Patient X[/sp] except for what you find in the intro?

[QUOTE=Jack Trades;30243114]Is there any information about [sp]Patient X[/sp] except for what you find in the intro?[/QUOTE] check the pocket secretary inside a safe behind the police station, behind the overhead door where you also find the [sp]bracelet which belongs to megan[/sp] and some emails in the first or second floor at sarif inside the offices near the elevator. it's never explained though why this could bring [sp]sarif[/sp] down.

Rate me clocks or not, but after playing through the preview again I'm certain that [sp]the first guy you see in the intro is Bob Page. He's going against Sarif, he has the same VA and he has those two wires going on his left forehead. And the 'she' they're talking about? That's Megan, meaning Page Industries set up the attack and whatever else there is to happen in the rest of the game.[/sp]

[sp]Aren't the 2 cyborgs attacking the lab in the beginning Anna navarre and Gunther hermann? Also this game is one big plot reference.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Sarif;30243286]you are right, no one else has this smugesque voice and the visible augs at the forehead. must be him, but no wonders [sp]manderley is probably as well in the game[/sp].[/QUOTE] he is. He has been sending a load of emails but no screen time for him at least during the leak. [editline]4th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Jorma Kay;30243409]He's talking about the the other guy, of course.

Don't read this unless you REALLY want to know why Fedorova isn't Anna. [sp]Fedorova is mute.[/sp] Plus she's way too tall and she would have to have some massive surgery on her face to make her look like Anna.

[QUOTE=Sarif;30243003]thank you both for the input, I like where this game is going. I even heard the German voice actor of [sp]Tracer Tong[/sp], pretty sure he is in Shanghai, but I guess this was confirmed already somewhere.[/QUOTE] he's in a dlc mission which comes with the Augmented Edition. Tracer Tong's rescue is the name afaik.

One reason they dind't get along too well. They are relics and were already seeing how they get replaced by the new tier of technology. HR being a sequal with actually better technology than the original game makes it sometimes a bit confusing.

She's a perfect enemy, you just don't know what her intentions will be (mainly because of what I said earlier). Icarus Effect explains why Gunther looks so fucked up, its a good one too tbh.
