Jarate posted:Saw the PC Gamer magazine in stores yesterday with its review. Read it. Pre-ordered instantly. I'm still sort of cautiously optimistic, and I am getting this on Xbox 360, but I like to think I've made the best choice I can for a man in my position. Never, ever feel shame for playing the console version of anything. You've made the choice to game, not to fiddle endlessly. Tecman posted:One of the working girls tells you that another girl has been kidnapped by the owners as they want the girls to get augments to bring in more money from customers. The kidnapped girl refused augments in the past, and her friend fears that the owners will augment the girl against her wishes. After accepting the mission, our time with the game was over. The PR rep — Hi, Matt! — herded us out of the office to get ready for dinner. The good news is that we're walking away with a retail copy of Human Revolution, so we can schedule more time with the working girl next week. What are the sex-augs?

Honestly, I'd rather play the game on my PC what with the emails to read, the inventory tetris, and the first person shooting. CanIRunIt says I meet the minimums if not the recommendeds. Still, I really don't feel like screwing around with my system again, so I pre-ordered the PS3 version. Maybe I'll pick up the PC version down the road one day once it goes on sale on Steam. Also trophies. Delicious trophies. You validate the life I'm wasting in front of the PlayStation.

You "kill" Lawrence Barrett in the leak but I'm not sure that he is actually dead. Apparently the fluff say he got his nasty scars from something else, but I am suspicious that he might come back later in the game with a newly scarred up face. I think this because the cinematic trailer features him in some segments that are not in the leak. Did anyone else notice this? Do you think he's dead?

If I remember correctly, he was originally a boss in Hengsha but got moved to the FEMA base. So those cinematics might be from an earlier point in the development process. As for whether he actually will show up again, dunno, I hope not, because I'd at least like some variety in my dumb boss battles.

Just FYI the leak plays like utter poo poo on a gamepad. Edit: I assume the XBox/PS3 versions will have some kind of tweaked UI to make it more comfortable but if you're one of the weird ones who play PC games with a 360 controller, in this case just use the mouse and keyboard.

Policenaut posted:Did they ever give out the QR Code rewards for Facebook? They got past 1 million points a long time ago but I never got that code for the VTOL avatar thing. Speaking of the QR codes, if you followed the forum post you'd know that apparently there is a Tumblr that has all (21) of the QR codes listed. I was planning on doing something similar myself, here, but they became harder to find (I'd hear so and so was released but was missing a ton myself). Didn't seem to catch on anywhere, either. The only reason I was interested in it personally is because the QR code translates to links of flavor text which I thought was interesting; the first QR code, for instance, translates to http://www.sarifindustries.com/en/qr/0451 (don't bother visiting; before the standard info page it used to load nothing with a standard PC browser). You can see them all on the Tumblr.

I haven't played the leak, nor have I followed too much of the gameplay trailers, but are we absolutely sure this isn't another Invisible War? With the few videos I've been watching since yesterday, everything feels very cramped in terms of what you explore. It's giving me Invisible War vibes with its two streets and a loading screen into a small club. But everyone's played the leak and loves it, the reviews love it... So I'm just needlessly over thinking it. Right?

While I think detroit is kind of small, it's not like, FEAR small. Nor is it Just Cause 2 large. I don't think it'd ever be possible for that. However, I do think it's about as large as DX was for levels.

Jarate posted:But everyone's played the leak and loves it, the reviews love it... So I'm just needlessly over thinking it. Right? That's right. Maps are large and open. Not necessarily DX1 large/open, but definitely up there. The sense of cramp you get is intentional. The art director specifically pushed for tons of clutter, so maps visually feel smaller, but they are plenty expansive. The game definitely has some rough edges. It isn't perfect, but neither was DX1. You are absolutely worrying needlessly.

Dillweed posted:Not trying to be a shill for Impulse, but it's a Steamworks game, so it has to be run through Steam. It's the same for the retail copies. I'm pretty sure the only way for them to have that work is to give you a key that's usable with Steam. They might provide an installer download through Impulse, though. I guess for me it comes down to whether or not $5 is worth an extra game and that DLC. Although at this point I might just buy it for the console and get the extra DLC from Gamestop anyway. Game store indecision ITT. EDIT: Not a console vs. PC debate. Have both, love both, only advantage my PC has over my console is that my wife doesn't get irked when I'm playing PC games during America's Next Top Model.

I was constantly checking the map because I got lost (in fairness, I suck at orienteering) and I got a ton of mileage out of both my sniper rifles. If you're going to lose sleep over it, just play the leak. If your computer sucks, play the leak at 640x480 minimum detail just in order to get through the tutorial/prologue and see the layout of Sarif Industries and Detroit.

More questions have been answered ( http://eidosmontreal.tumblr.com/ ): - Since you said Jensen fears water, will that come up as part of his backstory? Like his shower doesn't work and he cleans himself another way? But wait, Jensen clearly is seen in the shower in the comics (pretty graphic at that too). So was that a fluke on the comic writers or Jensen's use of his femme fatale to get over his fears? Frank says: “Adam doesn’t have any problem showering. What he’s afraid of is sinking to the bottom of the sea because of all the metal he’s got stuck to his body. The rebreather aug can only help you for so long…” - Deus Ex had many modern day conspiracies. Is there any modern day conspiracies in Deus Ex Human Revolution? Frank says: “A few. I notice the question doesn’t ask what they are… What a shame! ”- What idea for HR looked amazing on paper, but simply did not work in the game? and what was it that didn't work? Frank says: “But there are so many! Some dialogs were supposed to feature objects hidden in the background that you could find and analyze in order to unlock blackmail attacks that you could use to convince people to give you stuff. Unfortunately, you had to do this while the character was talking to you, so you had to concentrate on 2 things at once, which meant nobody was listening to what characters had to say. The hacking was also supposed to be much more complicated than it is right now. Before accessing a device, you had to scan it for active ports. Some ports were slower but less protected, so you had to choose the best one for what you were attempting (whether you wanted to control or download something). Then you had to assign CPU cycles to various attack and defense programs while the system was trying to trace you. Anyway, we had it working in Excel and did three revisions before it was canned for the current node-centric system. People just didn’t get it.” - Alright, I've got a very important question for you guys. Is Adam a boxer or breifs kinda guy? Frank says: “Boxers. And why wasn’t ‘commando’ an option?” - Are you tempted to go post mortem on the game before it's released? Frank says: “Already done. It’s standard procedure for all team members (at least it was for designers) to produce a postmortem. These are usually included in the ‘closing kit’, which is a reference for the future. Now are we going to produce a published postmortem? I don’t know. Someone would have to take the lead and actually distill all the information into the accepted format of 5 pros and 5 cons. I doubt it would come out before the release of the game.” - Would the stealth system differ from the previous games, and if so, how? Frank says: Yes it does. Our main complaint with DX1’s stealth was the lack of feedback. We personally found it hard to know when we were hidden and when we weren’t. To the point of frustration sometimes. (yeah yeah, I’m criticizing DX1. But bear with me…) That’s why we decided to go with a detection system based on line-of-sight, rather than light and shadows. To us it felt easier to read, especially when combined with a cover system. We read on the forums that some people felt we were dumbing down and consolizing the game. Our perspective was that we were actually empowering players, by giving them better information and better tools to use stealth. You be the judge.” edit: Deus Ex: Human Revolution LiveStream )Want to win a free copy of the game? Tweet us for a chance! ( http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/118/1187556p1.html ) Deus Ex: Human Revolution looks crazy. Gonzo mechanically-augmented cyborg shootery, high-tech espionage and intrigue, all lovingly dipped in gold, like Angelina Jolie in Bewulf. But with guns. And no Angelina Jolie. To celebrate, we're treating you to a live developer demo with designer Antoine Thisdale THE BEST PART??? If we read your question on air, we will send you a copy of the game. BOOM! There. I said it.
