As a rebuttal, I will present mine. I have a friend who got an instant headache when she watched a gameplay video, so make that three. So she can't really get into Deus Ex even though she'd like to. If there's anything they can do to make it accessible to more people without compromising gameplay, they should. I see no downside to turning off head bobbing if it makes a few people sick. It personally doesn't bother me, but I don't mind accommodating more players. Hell, make it so Stephen Hawking can play it with his face.

Head bobbing is annoying as hell in games, it's exaggerated and doesn't make sense. The human head bobs up and down as they move, yes, but you never actually notice it.

The solution to this is for you all to play STALKER and build up a tolerance to horrible headbobbing.

I actually get the same sickness / head ache feeling as well in the Preview copy, I was expecting it to be a console setting in the PC version that we could modify (Well at least I hope so, as I've already pre-ordered).

If I were you I'd start practicing 'counter-bobbing', so hopefully it cancels out the bob and you don't feel sick. Either that or get an aug. I preordered this from greenmangaming.com, for 28 bucks cos there was a couple of deals. If you live in Australia maybe think about getting it from somewhere other than Steam, as it has gone up to $70 AUD for the standard edition. I dunno how legit greenmangaming.com is, but it seems pretty legit. (I posted this in the last thread but we got a new one now, and as far as I know, people are still from Australia.)

Head bobbing makes the game feel more fluid to me, regardless if it "makes sense" or not. I personally would hate not having it as not having it makes games feel like you are a robot on wheels. Also most people who get ill are probably get so from the weird FOV, I am not sure what it's set too in game but it's probably fairly low.

That has gotta be the most beautiful OP I have ever skimmed over to avoid spoiling myself. Not just here, but anywhere. I've had the Augmented edition preordered for a while now on Steam. I'm thinking I'm going to try and be as stealthy and charismatic as possible on the first go, but of course there's always the ever effective plan B of "murder everything" if that doesn't work out.

I shall join the choir and say that the OP is the best I have seen on these forums - it is seriously magnificent. You have set the bar very, very high for all who follow your footsteps. I haven't pre-ordered yet, but I will probably buy it via Steam. I just upgraded my computer, so I can't wait to play this with high settings.

Sweet god drat, Tecman, that's practically a thread right there, I hesitate to call that an opening "post". Still incredible, though, and I need to put my preorder down once the ol' monthly bread gets distributed from the company vault.

The OP would have shamed himself to release a sub-par thread for, what looks to be, a hugely amazing game. Still, this is THE BEST OP I have ever seen.

Have fun playing it with a controller, they're quite nice. A different skill set than a mouse and keys, but "better than" is an issue of personal skill and preference, not the device. Until someone decides Macs can be for gaming too, I'm sticking with the Xbox. This game is looking great, I can't wait.

I'm not as comfortable with a keyboard and mouse as I am with a controller ( playing TF2 on PC lately has reminded me of this ), but fortunately I can plug in a controller and play just about any single-player game with it on PC. Sure, keyboard + mouse gives more speed and accuracy, but I've never understood the "this is better than..." -argument either. You go with whatever you prefer, man.

Tec man, that's some dedication. I do think it reflects how Deus Ex has so much coverage in the media though. Honestly, its almost a bit too much... I've started to see boring level design (up in the floof levels) and I'm starting to question my interest in the game. Also the green man discount... its as if Eidos Montreal doesn't trust in their shipped game. Please talk me out of these negative thoughts. I love Deus Ex.

GMG: Preorder discounts are nothing new; they likely take a part of their own cut out of the sale price. Now buy it.

GMG sales/discounts are sometimes Steam-level batshit insane good deals, even for really good games, I guess they just eat the lost profits from the lower price and make it up in sheer volume.

GMG isn't the only one that does it. D2D constantly creates 20 or 25% off deals that apply to virtually every game in their catalogue, including pre-orders. Stacked with the standard 10% off, that can get some pre-orders as low as $34. Hell, pick any pre-order in there. In 2 minutes, you can get a code for 15% off.

Very nice op, looking forward to the game. Although I would much rather buy it on PC, but my current system is lacking, to say the least. So XBOX it is, then. Anyway, is it just me (and my recent visit to the Minority Perspective on Gaming), or are all women in the game hot & busty? (honest question, haven't played the leak) I understand that the portrayal of women might not be the only offensive thing in the game (re: BLACK BUM).

Baggot posted:How? Referral codes. But it appears they might not be doing that anymore - the website is down, but I did use it about 3 weeks ago. In any case, there's a not so easy way of getting that same discount - IGN Prime members have a permanent 15% off in D2D, and you can gift games just fine.

It's disconcerting how different in-game Adam's face looks from CG cutscene Adam's face. I much prefer the latter and I wish they'd polish up the in-game Adam to match, but I doubt that'll happen this late.

Is it weird that I'm excited that this game could really work well on consoles? I really want this game to reach alot of people, and hopefully push future boundaries for design at other studios, as well for Eidos Montreal. I'm also really sore about watching the PS3 thread and seeing CoD Black Ops at the top of the list of most played game in alot of countries for some reason.
