Apparently FULL of spoilers of DXHR. Don't recommend until the game is released.

I own this book but haven't read it yet and will not until I have played all three DX games.

DJ, you do know that putting those tags there doesn't make it okay to break forum rules lol.

No Different then going..
[flame]FUCK EVERYONE HOLY SHIT WOW WHY THE FUCK WOUOLD U DO THATTT SOOO STOOPIDDD[/flame]


Anyway, I'm not buying that book until after I play the game. I'm not even much of a reader. However, if something catches my attention and appeals to me, I'll buy the book.

I just don't want it to ruin the experience :)

Nothing wrong with that. Some people just like stupid mess around stuff when in multi-player, doesn't mean anything regarding the single-player mentality.

Regarding why the book may not be suitable for some:
[spoiler]Gunther Hermann, Juan Levbedev and Lucius DeBeers are featured in the book. It will be considered DXHR canon for the DX universe. Not sure if you like this or not.[/spoiler]

I'm not a fan of Jim Swallow, and he's wrote the story to DXHR.

Hmm.

Jim Swallow told me that the novel, while not heavy, does contain spoilers for DXHR and mainly an important plot twist.

May want to avoid it until after the game.
