Loving it so far. Feel like I'm playing the love child of Blade Runner, Perfect Dark, and Metal Gear Solid

gogoogogogogogo

edit: Installing mine now q.q

[The Blackrose]

I've played through the first mission now. Going to replay it - accidentally missed rescuing the hostages but I did talk down the social boss. The opening...

Spoiler: show

Bob Page again?

[Cloudius]

Im jelly 3 more days before it unlocks in Europe.

[warc]

the social interrogations feel like LA Noire all over. They are pretty cool but way harder. I also missed the hostages but I didn't care enough to go back and replay. The game is good so far, playing it like metal gear solid so far and its working out really well.

No option for hold iron sights and crouch instead of toggle is pretty fucking annoying. As is the mouse lag in the PC version.

Cutscenes are clearly optimized for consoles as well. Clearly all of the work went into the PS3/XBOX versions with the PC being a buggy port... as usual.

[Mikus]

Local video store was out of copies to rent. Hope some people can post solid reviews on how gameplay is.

[The Blackrose]

Goddamn I love how they're bringing back a lot from the first game.

Spoiler: show

First young Bob Page, then Joseph Manderley having his damn fingerprints all over shit. It's a shame Gunther is not in this one.

[Kyo]

So far game is pretty awesome, only a few hours in.

[Hank]

So, how do I go about activating m preorder stuffs? Also, I really wish spoiler tags worked with tapatalk lol

[Vandole]

i'm really loving this game right now.

Spoiler: show

i've learned no fall damage as per that prostitutes suggestion, debating on getting stronger arms or super jump next. thoughts?

[Kyo]

Couldn't find the other hostages bleh.

[Talragan]

2hrs till I can finally play it

[warc]

Both icarus nofalldmg and high jump are pretty nice to have while traveling, after finishing a sidequest on a roof being able to just hop down is awesome instead of having to go back through the guard infested apartment/house/building. I hate having to choose augments, I let like 5 points build up because I didn't want to make a bad choice :/

[Correction]

Ahah, I sure hope none of you ordered the game from GameStop: http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/deus-ex-3-u...1190175p1.html

Exclusive: GameStop Pulled, Discarded Free OnLive Deus Ex: Human Revolution Coupons
By Mike Sharkey | Aug 24, 2011
Retailer denied its customers a free OnLive copy of DXHR without informing them.

Yesterday cloud gaming company OnLive and publisher Square Enix announced a Deus Ex: Human Revolution launch promotion that included a free OnLive version of the game with all PC retail copies. However, mega retailer GameStop did not want to take part in the promo and took steps to make sure its customers wouldn't either.

We received reports from a handful of GameStop customers claiming that their new PC boxed copies of DXHR were opened and the OnLive codes were missing. We also received evidence from an anonymous tipster suggesting that it was GameStop management that made the decision to physcially remove the OnLive codes from its PC copies of the game.

Below is a photo of an email printout allegedly sent by GameStop management. We've blurred out the contact information of the person who sent the email, but we did phone the individual and confirm he is a GameStop employee. The individual declined to comment on the OnLive codes and immediately directed us to GameStop's media relations department.

We then contacted GameStop public relations representative Beth Sharum. In an email reply, Sharum said she needed to further research the issue before providing a detailed response. However, she did confirm GameStop intentionally removed the OnLive coupons:

"Square Enix packed the competitor's coupon with our DXHR product without our prior knowledge and we did pull and discard these coupons," Sharum said.

To put the value of the promotion in context, OnLive is also selling DXHR through its online platform for $49.99.

We spoke with an OnLive representative who said the company is just now being made aware of the issue and was not prepared to comment. We also reached out to Square Enix and will update this story with any response.

In April, GameStop acquired streaming tech company Spawn Labs and digital distribution platform Impulse. With the acquisitions, the retailer positioned itself to launch a hybrid Steam/OnLive service that will allow gamers to purchase and download full video games or stream and play them on demand. GameStop's fully integrated Impulse service launched in July and its game streaming service is now in beta testing.

DXHR isn't perfect but man it's a lot of fun.

The things it does do very well are going to up the bar for some other upcoming AAA games. It's a fabulously successful sandbox, and might have the best cover-based system I've ever seen.

I love that it feels like the original Deus Ex, and I love how many different ways any given objective can be completed, and how different paths affect the story without breaking it.

WTB more Praxis points/kits.
