Deus ex:HR is the first Deus ex game Ive ever played. Therefore, I judge it by a game itself, and damn it is one fine game.
It's not that it's easy, but half a second of inaccuracy or unwise separation from cover turns you to mush if people are heating up their heavy machineguns. If you mess up while sneaking, you generally have a better chance of jumping back into the nearest went without being perforated.Zekksta said:So far in this thread all I'm seeing is how easy stealth is when compared to running and gunning.FreakSheet said:I prefer Stealth, as I find the greatest show of skill being able to get by undetected, and only taking down guards when you absolutely cannot avoid them.
I'm buying it next week, hopefully the stealth gameplay isn't stupidly easy or I'll feel pretty ripped off.
Human Revolution is the prequel, so you can start with it.Bordersane said:I haven't actually played the original Deus Ex ... is it recommended to play the original before HR? Or can I just jump in?
You just gave me another rewason to replay it! Thanks.Richard Hannay said:All of the guards in the tutorial can be avoided. It's tricky in the last of the three "encounters," but if you get down the stairs and into cover as fast as possible (while they're still coming into the room), you can circumvent them.TheIronRuler said:I really like to challange myself and set a goal in which I won't kill any guards I come by and finish the game without killing anyone, besides that DAMN TUTORIAL(The first attack).
To give You a good idea:Is it like creative stealth with lots of variables, or is it more a scripted stealth style?
I was enjoying it a lot, until I got to the first boss, the stupid guy with the gun arm. No way to hack or stealth round him.MiracleOfSound said:Absolutely wonderful game, apart from the shitty boss fights.
Yes. But then again i could have accepted the combat if it didn't start with a cutscene of Jensen being stupid, and then starting the battle out in the open like an old western duel but where the bad and the ugly would be wearing a tank.Alfador_VII said:I was enjoying it a lot, until I got to the first boss, the stupid guy with the gun arm.

After trying to be stealthy before that, the game basically turns round and says "haha, you're doing it wrong, you need to be really good with guns!"
I'm playing on normal mode,and even emptying a few clips into him (or more likely near him as I didn't improve any combat augs) I can't even scratch him, whereas he can kill me in a few shots
Yeah, the boss fights were terrible.MiracleOfSound said:Absolutely wonderful game, apart from the shitty boss fights.
Yeah, pretty much what he said. The only other flaw I can think of is the loading times. But neither of those ruin the experience for me. It's still a fantastic game, with excellent gameplay.inFAMOUSCowZ said:Really the lip sync and some character models are bad. But those are just small problems when this games universe and gameplay is so solid.
