Poll: Deus Ex: HR. Worth full price or wait for drop?
- Thread starter radioactive lemur
- Start date
Not only is it worth the full price, it is such an amazing game, that I have to date, purchased it three times and given the two extra copies to some of my friends that couldn't afford to buy it.
It is that good.
...aaaaand this is coming from someone that still hasn't played the first Deus Ex.

A fist full of pennies. You heard it here: Deus Ex: Human Revolution is worth $60.50 ($50.50 for PC gamers)[footnote]I almost actually went to see how many pennies I can hold in my hand before I posted this. Then I dumped Italian dressing and apple juice on me and called myself silly.[/footnote]!Quazimofo said:
Kidding aside, it's a fantastic game. If you like choice in how you play your games, this is for you. It's got a whole lot going for it. Go ahead and treat yourself to it.
It's definitely worth it. However, don't shrug off David Sarif's demand that you get to the helicopter quickly; there may not be an onscreen time limit, but bad things will happen if you dilly daddle.
I also got it for 45 of those American dollars, which at the time I bought it meant about 40 Australian dollars, which is less than half the price of a new game. Well worth every cent I paid. I have no idea why the price jumped up on Steam, but I am very glad I paid what I did for it. Having played it I would buy it for full price retail. It would be GOTY 2011 for me if we lived in a world without Frozen Synapse.Drakmorg said:
I rarely spent more than $10 on a PC Game these days but DX:HR - fucking YES it´s worth it!
BTW I paid $34 for it on GreenMangaming.com .

Price drop. It's good, but, the ending and story need lots of work, the gameplay is superb tho so it's not one to miss.
well, if you add the sentimental value of those pennies being shiny, and perhaps belonging to a time period of say 60 years ago, they certainly would value in at at LEAST 75 cents.DustyDrB said:
but yeah, i was going to say a bucket but that seemed too much so i couldnt think of anything else between that and a fist-full
indeed, my brother faffed about, and we were shocked at how much of a difference it made. in short; save right as sarif first tells you to get to the chopper, then explore if you like, so you get consequence free dicking around time.cheywoodward said:
also, you get a bonus for getting there sooner anyway
Paid $45 for the PC version and don't regret it. If you like the parts of Mass Effect 2 where you wander around a city and talk to people, you'll love Detroit and Hengsha in Human Revolution. The actual "levels" are also a lot of fun. If you enjoy Hitman, Thief or Metal Gear Solid, you'll like Human Rev. I've never been a huge stealth game player, but I had quite a lot of fun in DX:HR. I don't think there's as many ways to approach situations as there were in the original, but it has more variety than 95% of games do these days. It's also littered with minor problems, but what game isn't?
Regardless of whether or not you like the story, the writing is almost always strong, so at least you can enjoy the moments if you don't like the plot for whatever reason.
Knowing what I know now, I would buy it again. I'd pay $60 for it even, but I'm a member of the PC gaming master race
Note: I'm ~30 hours in. I think I'm on the last area/level/complex.

I think it's pretty freaking amazing.
It's one of the first games I have trouble NOT playing lol. It sucks you into this world and there is almost constantly something to do.
I would recommend getting it as soon as possible but as with all games, it's still going to be there if you don't buy it now.

That's up to you,if you can wait for the price drop,then sure go ahead.
I bought the game at full price and I love it,but i find it too short and too easy (Give me Deus Ex,Pacifist,Foxiest of the hounds,and manage to save the pilot)
I might do the second playthrough after the mod communities release something interesting.

OT: Yea I would say so. It doesn't spank you for not playing the first thankfully.
