Deus Ex Alpha

What're you doing to keep yourself occupied till release day?

For the last few weeks I've been indulging in stuff in similar styles to the Deus Ex games, examples:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire:_T ... Bloodlines
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_alone_complex
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergo_proxy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darker_than_black
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_runner

etc, you catch the drift.

And for non-us folk it's 6 days

I'm going to wank at the box cover until it comes out.

Sooooo close.

Job hunting lol.

ONE DAY!!!

Picking it up tomorrow after work :3


EEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

I haven't been this excited in years.

Edit: I'm reading bad comments about AIs being dumb and easy to kill even at the hardest level. About the bad NPCs movements\facial expressions well... already saw it on gameplay videos

I had the feeling watching gameplay vids where it's going to be like turok (e.g. The Knife)...

JAM ONE BUTTON TO ENTER A SEQUENCE IN WHICH TIME FREEZES AND YOU KILL MULTIPLE ENEMIES EFFORTLESSLY.


Edit: GameTrailers - 8.7/10 .... What's funny about this, is that they gave Dragon Age II a higher rating.

Playstation giving it 8 hurr

I rarely trust specific reviews anymore.

I get the accumulative consensus of many reviews, so I have a general idea of what to expect going into the game.

Yo. This might be better than DX IMHO

Some of the americans I know who purchased it seem to be rating it pretty highly. Some said to me that it is true to the original if not better.. Which makes me even more excited. >_>

Yes, DX+ is mentioned a lot. Now, if the neckbeard community would get their hand out of their anus and stop calling this DXIW2.

Not visiting these sub forums again until i get the game!!

GETTING IT TODAY AFTER WORK.


Sooooo excited... I hope I get sent home early.. It's going to be cloudy, cold, and dead today at the waterpark.

-a day I'd much rather spend playing DX:HR.

I defended people from this worry when I made that spoiler thread, but I know, there's some idiots about.

My phone died 40 minutes before to go to the shop. I've to wait before to buy dxhr.

Like me!


Haha, alright.. i'm off work, time to go pick up my copy.

So after playing for quite a while, I suggest you read my DX:HR Bugs topic.

Aside from that, I'd like to point out that when you execute a mele stun/kill sequence, it drains one WHOLE battery charge. This being said, it is NOT like Turok, where you can run up in front of any dinosaur and jam your knife button to execute infinite instant kills through the whole game.

Another mention is that THE AI ARE NOT RETARDED. I have a strong feeling that many reviewers were playing in "Give Me A Challenge" (normal), or "Tell Me A Story" (easy). If you play in any other mode besides "Give Me Deus Ex" (Hard Mode), the AI will become weaker, less intelligent, etc. [Hitman-based difficulty settings]. I was worried about the AI intelligence from the start, so this is a major relief.

For all of us, I STRONGLY recommend playing in "Give Me Deus Ex" difficulty settings.

Wouldn't have it any other way <3

*On another note, I'd like to point out that you can change the difficulty setting at any time during the game*

Don't worry though guys. On the 26th, you will not be dissapointed.

That is a relief! Yeah I hate it when reviewers give us dumb AI stuff without evidence of playing on the TRUE difficulty setting Thanks for the heads up!

Tomorrow, for me. : )

No problem guys

DX:HR is definitely the successor to the first.

I have my augmented edition box sitting on my desktop staring at me, it's taunting me, knowing I can't play it.

I has a sad
