I guess it's not a big deal, but is there anything else I can tell him to assure him this won't be DX2 all over again? Or are you guys dealing with similar fears? Here's how I'm planning to deal with this: Play it as it releases in like three hours... then when someone asks I'm going to be all "Hey dude this isn't like Deus Ex 2"

Tell him fans have already played a big chunk of the game and love it, it's not just paid reviewers saying these things.

Fans were skeptical when DX:HR was first announced, and rightly so, but that skepticism is pretty much gone at this point, mostly thanks to the leak.

Deus Ex 3 teaser came, people screamed. Things got announced, new info came about, people screamed more. The first third of the game leaked. People did this:  That's the entire story of Deus Ex: Human Revolution's negativity. It's definitely not Invisible War. oversteps fucked around with this message at 01:50 on Aug 23, 2011 |

I'm wondering what sort of customization options the dual monitor support has. Most of the time, games do it wrong if you only have two monitors, and put the screen right in the middle of the the two, making it unplayable. I'm hoping with Deus Ex, I can have my HUD on the left monitor, and the right monitor is just for seeing extra bits of the world around me.

Whether this means you can enable an in-game console needs to be seen. e: That said, English is clearly not that guy's forte so I guess you could interpret his statement in a different way.

The game supports up to 5 monitors so I think they probably accounted for that.

I read an online article somewhere that said it does exactly that; most UI + crosshairs on one monitor, peripheral vision on the other.

So I played the HR preview build when it leaked out, and I was flat-out amazed and instantly preordered and bought the previous games having never played them. While the gameplay of the older games haven't aged very well, I really enjoyed the stories and their tie-ins with philosophy and not just giving you the regular 'black and white' or good and evil moral choices. I was super geeked out at just how much the developers put so much effort into creating an experience that made you think, rather than say, "I'll just do the good things because I want too, then when I play through it a second time I'll kill everyone because I want to be a jerk in a computer game". I really have no idea because I'm trying to stay away from any spoilers, but does anyone has a clue if the game sticks with this kind of philosophical story direction?

Efexeye posted:I in no way mean to start an argument but is this on Deus Ex difficulty? Nah, more just the clunky movement, shooting, stealth and enemy AI. I thought the RPG mechanics were great, but that kind of stuff just comes with a 11 year old game. I also should note I never played it in the past, so I have absolutely no nostalgia for the game either, making it a little hard to get into in the first place.

I haven't even played the preview build, so I don't know what you'll have seen, but this is really supposed to really be one of the deeper ideas in the game. I'd imagine it'll really go places. Plus all the crazy conspiracies of course. It is a Deus Ex game, after all.

I'm really really glad this is going places with a brand new dev team, it just shows that Deus Ex wasn't a product of some brilliant minds making a masterpiece that can never ever be equaled, it was a perfectly good formula for Good Games that people have ignored up until now for some reason

That is not the case for Deus Ex: HR. I don't know about health/damage, but as far as I could tell, enemy accuracy, stealth detection, hacking difficulty and possibility availability of supplies were all altered by the difficulty settings. Or maybe it was just perception, as I can't stand not playing any game that isn't intended to be challenging (shmups) from the get-go on anything but the highest difficulty, regardless of how it is handled.

While that would be great, I'd settle for more AAA games that dare to not treat you like an idiot baby from start to finish. That was pretty much the most refreshing thing about HR for me.

l33t b4c0n posted:Considering how popular the original Deus Ex still is among gamers, it's suprising they haven't remade it already. I mean they could literally do the same game with a different engine and graphics and people would shell out tons of money for it. I would pay full retail price for a graphically updated version of Deus Ex. I am not alone.
