You said the forbidden words. You must be killed.trollpwner said:
I've gone for the preorder HOPING its half as good as the first one. Since I've gone for the preorder, I've tried to avoid watching trailers. The last thing I want now is to have the game actually be good but me not like it because I've seen too many trailers and reviews. That would just be awful.
The question is though, 10 years as superman or 20 years as a cripple. Lets be honest, I know what most people would choose.
Unless I'm crippled , an amputee or lost one of my other main organs , why the hell would I replace my perfectly fine arm or leg with a cybernetic one in the first place ?
I'll stick to my god given fleshy parts , thank you very much.
Can't wait for august for the game , though

Oh god this trailer was unsettling. I was in the front seat of my moms car when my friend sent the link to me and when I watched it I was speechless and horrified. I liked the idea of Augmentations from the first trailer being a sort of weak person in my own right..
Than I saw the new trailer and get scared. The whole idea of it scares the shit outta me and makes me change my mind about the whole process, having to take the drugs so your body can even stay sane.
Also, it made me excited for the game even more. I have my $70 saved up for the collectors edition, and I can not wait.
Damn Eidos Montreal makes some damn good trailers.

It will wreck your stuff if it's ever activated, that's for sure. Other than that, the John Cunningham Virus is mostly harmless. Probably also wears sunglasses at night.trollpwner said:
I hope the name is not a coincidence. 70-90% of the world is infected with JCV (it's in the water!), if it is activated by immunosuppressants, the disease it causes is (so far) incurable and fatal. It's like the Grey Death, but for people with implants and augmentations!
And thus Eidos begins screwing with our heads and sense of trust for the third time.Zhukov said:
Transhumanism has always seemed mildly delusional to me- it means messing with things we dont yet understand, contravening natural systems that have developed over millenia in the arrogant belief we know better.
For the most part Im all for scientific progress, but augmentation is a step too far.
I wouldnt just be part of Purity First, I would have bloody founded it.

I'd go with Computers over rifles. Once you get that up to advanced you never have to learn passwords again and you can also control gun turrets. Rifles is not very useful until the NYC mission (unless you use the sawn-off, which is the second worst weapon in the game. The worst is the LAW due to it's large inventory size and totally impractical blast area). I've always started with Advanced pistols and then put plenty of upgrades into them while carrying a Sniper Rifle and picking up the GEP gun at the Airport mission. And swimming can actually be helpful if you absolutely must get every XP point you can for exploration.trollpwner said:
Very. Otherwise your body will literally destroy itself and leave you vulnerable. Simple colds can be fatal. Scaaary~.Cuacuani said:
On-topic. The only thing I would ever do when it comes to mechanical parts; eyes. Other than that I'll hold on to my limbs. I've got a fear of dismemberment. o_o
Or we could wait for another 2 decades when they have Nano-Augs!
well we already know both sarif industries and tai-something(the big Asian company) will fall and/or be bought by versalife.
Deus ex has always been highly critical about augmentations themselves, in that you can easily put a kill switch into nano-augs and mechanical augmentations require more maintenance than an old car but as an agent you need those things because the bad guys have them and so you need them too. reminds me a little of how gene therapy is handled in the ME universe in that it is super expansive and you are not allowed to give people abilities humans don't have but each and every soldier get's their natural speed and strength and such increased.
Also: if the government were able to control big corporations properly they could keep the price the drug down since it arguably is life changing, you can't just argue that people who get augmentations should be prepared to pay if the stuff keeps getting more and more expansive.

Alright... knowing what I know from the game so far, I'd get augmentations.
I know that a lot of what's spouted in the second trailer is sensationalist speculation and fear-mongering bullshit, coming from people who only know little parts of whats going on and put those little parts together to paint as scary a picture as possible.
Right at the beginning of the game you learn that Sarif scientists have discovered a way to make the Neuropozine drug unnecessary and obsolete... and they have every reason to put that out since they are not the people producing and selling Neuropozine... that would be Versalife.
While the beginning of the game is all about keeping an ethically troublesome military prototype augmentation secret throughout two attacks on Sarif Industries, I'm guessing the attacks were all about the DNA research to make Neuropozine unnecessary while having the top secret so-called Typhoon augmentation act as a sort of red herring.
