This game is running choppy on my computer it's a 2500k and a GTX 560. I have everything turned all the way up, D3D tripple buffering, and tripple buffering and vsync disabled in menues. Anyone have any tips? Other than that this game is fantastic, I am enjoying it so much. I love the world and style.

Shockingly, windowed mode.

[Sajjaja]

Finished the game. It was awesome. Boss fights are pretty much my only complaint, too confrontational. Also, that reporter's voice is so fucking annoying man. Shit....


I'm going to go for another playthrough with no kills at all. I was going to do that this time, but then I just got angry at these dudes so I just started stealth pistoling instead. Didn't think the kills would affect the dialogue of the endings
9/10.

[SLEEPS7ALK3R]

Holy shit, this game is incredible. I nabbed the Augmented Edition at Walmart for 40 bucks and WOW! A little daunting at first, since my gaming brain has been turned to attentive deficient mush thanks to all the COD's/BF's/Uncharted's this gen. But seriously, this is how games are supposed to be. It's the little intricacies and the braininess of the gameplay itself. Figuring out every line of dialogue, following the best course of action and seeing your decisions play a role in the way the story unfolds (I let the hostages die in the first mission because I decided to snoop around), scrutinizing the environments for ammo, alternate paths and tidbits of info. If you follow every little thing that goes on in and around Sarif Ind., you really feel like you don't know whose side you're on. What an engrossing game. Shit, I don't even know how Eidos green-lit this game in the first place, but boy, did it pay off.

Anyone else think this game has some pacing issues? I feel like I'm more interested in the world an story than the game mechanics and I'm getting tired of sneaking around and hacking the 1000th terminal ect. im chasing that girl boss in shanghai

I didn't want the game to end :(

I'm an old Deus Ex fan though so I eat the gameplay up.

Okay I just hit 50 takedowns in China, the first main story line mission after doing the side quest. Am I good to hit 100 takedowns or will I run out of people to stalk?

I would be very surprised if you didn't hit 100 takedowns. You've got a very long way to go before the game is over.

That's.... awesome. This game is really good. At first I wasn't that into it and I think I was just overwhelmed by it. Now that I am into a groove, it kicks ass.

e: Do we know if the DLC would count with the "single play-through" for the achievement?

[I H8 Memes]

No it doesn't. It launches seperately from the main game and has it's own achievements.

Do you know if it matters as far as achievements go if I let Van Bruggen live by giving him a weapon? The only thing I can find about him living is a reward of 2000 credits.

[Dick Justice]

Gaining extra credits is the only effect of that decision. Would've been nice if he helped out a little more, but oh well.

Been playing the original, finally managed to get past the first mission after years of getting bored at some point. Fucking love it, though I do miss some of the improvements that HR bought, like showing you the right login and password if you've found them for terminals, and the much more balanced weaponry (here, the assault rifle is fucking useless). The use of a limb system is great, though. Being forced to crawl after having my legs fucked up by a group of mechs is an interesting gameplay experience.

[BolognaOni]

I had a great time with the game, but the hacking mini-game did get old. Then again, those sort of mini-games always get old. The option to try for extra exp and hacking items made it slightly more interesting, still, there must have been over 100 terminals to hack in the game.

Would have been nice if maybe they gave you the option to use up some worms and by-pass the mini-game.

I also did get a bit lazy on the stealth/combat towards the end, and feel like that probably cheapened things a bit. It's nice that you have options, but forcing yourself into the more difficult route of not killing people gives a much deeper experience, I think.

[Troll]

For the Foxiest Achievement When you are trying to save Malik, does it matter if they see you? I can do it as a Pacifist but they always see me. Does that matter?

[Stallion Free]

I don't think there are any alarms they can trigger in that area so no. I was able to get Foxiest and Pacifist on Hard in the same run so they are pretty forgiving.

Cool. I am doing the hard/pacifist/foxy run as my first play.

If the explosion from the mech kills a dude when I am trying to save Malik, does that screw me for the achievement?

Okay just finished my Hard/foxy/pacifist run.....

nailed it like a boss. I have the original 1000 now I need to get the DLC. Can anyone explain to me what the end credits meant? That just went over my head. Also, is the Factory Zero achievement really glitched or do people just fuck up and blame the game?

Reference to Deus Ex 1.

Factory Zero in the DLC won't activate if you upgrade and then go back to an old save without it.

The first Deus ex is the only one that I haven't played, I think I will have to google it.

So that ensures you playing through at least twice. I am assuming the CASIE implant is needed towards the end.

It did work for me. There were plenty of times that I branched off with a different save in my Factory Zero run to spend praxis points for an unrelated achievement. After I got said achievement, I would reload my non-praxis save file and continue with the Factory Zero playthrough.

To the user Troll, I highly highly recommend that you do not go for any achievements in particular during your first DLC run. Play the game normally, enjoy the awesome scenario and game play, and then go for Factory Zero and the other miscellaneous achievements in a second run. =D

You got lucky then as doing that consistently broke it for other people.

CASIE is not needed in the end.

[Montresor]

CASIE is not needed in the end.

Spoiler for the end of Missing Link: Yes CASIE (Social Enhancer augmentation) is needed for an achievement at the end. There is a conversation with the clever engineer before the end of the DLC. You must attempt to use CASIE on him during that particular conversation for the achievement. But keep in mind that would require an investment of two praxis points.

Besides adding a sequel hook, the ending for TML references the Icarus Effect novel: Quinn is talking to Janus, a mysterious hacker who appeared in the novel as a member/leader of The Juggernaut Collective, an anti-Illuminati cyberterrorist group. Janus' true identity has not been revealed, but it is possible that Janus and Quinn are operating a sort of proto-Silhouette group.

If you are a sucker for the story in DXHR, I totally recommend the book. It's good fun.

They were alright. I got Barrett down by throwing toxic shit at him, Yelena by jumping over and towards her when she charged and then Combat Rifle up her ass (bit of a grind), and Namir with the Laser Rifle and the Heavy Rifle blindfire (also bit of a grind, but not as terrible as some people like to say).

Also, which of the endings did you choose? One of the main three or "the fourth". I love how Adam's speech took into account all my good actions during the side missions and my non lethal approach.

There is the enb mod to remove the gold filter. Really makes the game nice and crisp.

Takes a pretty strong PC to run it and I'm not sure if it works on AMD videocards.

Thanks for the answers, interested in the mod that modifies the filter. Do you know for a fact that is too demanding? Maybe i'lll ask in the PC screenshot thread since its more active.

I've tried to run it but the mouse lag made it unplayable for me...

[Typographenia]

I picked this up a little while back, but I only started playing it this last week. I put in around 10 hours this weekend, and I've been loving it.


I played the original Deus Ex, and I enjoyed it okay. However, it never really clicked with me. I could see why people held it in such high regards, the level design and numerous ways of approaching things was impressive, and I liked a lot of the tone and presentation to it. That said, it was just not something that I personally found myself enjoying to the degree that others were.


Human Revolution must have done just the right adjusting to appeal to me or something, because I'm in love with this game. The art direction is hands-down my favorite aspect of the game. There are just so many fantastic ideas that are well realized in the game that it's always making me stop and stare as I pass by new elements in the environment. There's just something present that seems to be missing from a lot of sci-fi stuff nowadays that is very reminiscent of things I was fond of in the 90s cyberpunk and sci-fi with a bit of modern flavor added.

I don't know if others saw this as a detriment, but the "open" areas feel more accessible to me than the original. They're a bit smaller and easier to navigate for me, and I don't feel nearly as overwhelmed. Perhaps I'm only imagining it, but that's really helped my experience, because I tend to get really overwhelmed by some games when they present too many options to me. They also tend to be some of my favorite games this gen (Witcher 1/2, Mass Effect, Deadly Premonition, Alpha Protocol) when I manage to overcome it.

Not to mention, the music... Oh man, I'm going to have to see if I can buy the OST somewhere, because it's so good.

I've been playing as a non-killer (I cheated and pushed a guy off a ledge for an achievement and then reloaded, haha), but I recalled that there was no way to pacify the bosses. Kind of a bummer, but them's the breaks. Since I knew that would be part of the game, I've been holding onto a pistol that I've been upgrading and saving ammo for it. My first boss fight was a piece of cake, really. Just used the stun gun, blasted at the head, and repeated.


I pumped my hacking/speech/non-violent skills as soon as I had the chance. Really aggravated that some of them require 2 points with a free additional skill added. Why not just 1 and 1? I suppose for variety, but those Praxis points are burning holes in my pocket every time I get one, haha.


I'm just scratching the surface on Hengsha, and I can't wait to see what else is in store for the rest of the game.

[XeroSauce]

I think the speech augment and subsequent minigame were one of my favourite parts of this game. Man I just loved this game in general. I think I'm going to reinstall it.

[SenseiJinx]

If anybody is still having stuttering issues with the PC version, this seems to be fixing it for a lot of people:

I'm super uninformed on this type of stuff, but what exactly does that do? I mean, outside of fixing the stuttering, what does the changed value really do to the game itself?

I've very rarely had some stuttering when running through the city, but that might be more a function of just streaming in the environment.

Nice! I think I'm nearly done wrapping up sidequests, and then I'll be able to continue with the main quest of checking out the hacker in pod 301. Just have to finish helping Malik with her dead roommate stuff.
