I finished my Give Me Deus Ex, no-kill playthru last night but didn't get the Pacifist Achievement. I would really love to know who in the game I managed to kill.

Yeah, i did this twice now. Sucks.

[IvanI]

Maybe an indirect kill? hacked a robot to kill someone? I got my Pacifist on the first run. Super careful with numerous reloads when I wasn't sure if someone's knocked out or dead.
Tons of things could have happened. :/

How did you go about the final boss fight?

From my time playing, the things I avoided to get it involved not doing the through-wall takedowns, never messing with turret loyalty, being careful of environment dangers (like electricty that could kill an unconscious character), and so forth.
The hardest part in the entire game was redoing the part where you crashland in hengsha and defend the ship. No clue if it counts, but a guy would get blown up nearly every time if I wasn't fast enough at stun-gunning him. Redid that segment around 20 times before I managed to knockout every person without anyone dying.


if you try for it again, keep an eye on all of the stats of people you takedown (the knocked out or dead symbols when you look at the bodies).


I think I was super lucky, since I managed to get Foxiest of Hounds and Pacifist on my first run.

How you get Officer Chet Wagner to talk about the murder?

#Went upto him and he said go away!
#I punched him in the face but he's fellow pigs shot me!

There are couple ways to get what you want. Somewhere on the upper floors there's a computer with the required data. This means you don't have to deal with Wagner. Or you could hack into Wagner's own computer to get some incriminating data, and blackmail him.

Just finished the game and the missing link DLC!
The way I did, I played right up until the part where the DLC starts, finished the DLC, and then continued with the game.

Imho, that is the way to do it with the whole reveal at the end of the game that is linked to the DLC - if you haven't placed the DLC by that point I can imagine some confusion.

Saref+Suicide ending are my favorites.

EDIT: Just saw the secret ending. God, I wish I could have killed Reed.

[Labadal]

I played a little bit of The Missing Link and I am liking it so far. No upgrades/weapons and no kills is the plan. That's how I played of the main game.

[pringles]

Replaying this at the moment to do The Missing Link as well as pick up most of the achievs I missed the 1st go (such as pacifist, foxiest and some secret ones) and my appreciation for the game is even stronger this time around. So cool how situations can play out in so many different ways.
Definitely one of my top 3 games of the generation, even though the last mission sucks.

I need a sequel. Or a pre-prequel. Or more DLC.

[Posthuman]

I'm playing through this again for my third time. I told myself that I wouldn't bother with the whole "no kill" rule that guided my previous playthroughs, but I find myself playing that way by default, anyway. Pacifist runs are simply that much more challenging (And therefore, interesting).

It really is a wonderful game; not quite on-par with the original Deus Ex, but it's pretty hard to touch that. I'd love to see an enhanced remake of the original Deus Ex as a sequel, but that would be a very ambitious project.

Just picked up the PS3 version at Target for $13.98 on clearance. Is it comparable to the 360 version? What's the essential DLC?

DE:HR is a good multiplatform title. Here's what DF had to say on the subject:

Returning to the topic at hand, the main takeaway from this piece is uniformly good news for all concerned: the two console versions are essentially identical, with just deeper gamma and some minor, additional blur differentiating the 360 release from the PS3 version which looks cleaner but seems to feature less effective anti-aliasing. From a performance and gameplay perspective, the two SKUs are mostly identical. In fact, the two console versions are perhaps too much of a match - we would have really liked the blurry, grainy FMVs to be improved for the PS3 where disc space is plentiful. The notion of low-quality FMVs on PC titles continues to rankle - why not offer higher-quality 1080p versions as downloads if publishers are having trouble crunching everything onto DVD?

You'll be fine on the PS3. Enjoy the game.

What's the essential DLC?

The Limited/Augmented Edition contained this, but it's available on the PSN store:

The Explosive Mission pack contains an additional bonus mission, Tong’s Rescue, the Remote-Detonated Explosive Device and the Automatic Unlocking Device.
The Explosive Mission and Tactical Enhancement pack contains all of the above, plus the Double-Barrel Shotgun, the Silenced Sniper Rifle and 10,000 extra in-game credits.

The only full-fledged DLC released so far is The Missing Link. Definitely play it. It's great.

[Labadal]

I think I'm soon done with The Missing Link. This DLC is good, but damn, there's a lot of backtracking.

[Risk Breaker]

I started this two days ago thanks to PS+ and man, having never played Deus Ex, I'm frigging loving it. I didn't know it was so similar to VtM: Bloodlines :D

[soldat7]

Thanks IvanI. I very much look forward to this!

[IvanI]

Thanks IvanI. I very much look forward to this!

Enjoy the game. DE:HR alongside Dark Souls is my GOTY 2011. Enjoyed it very much. Hard difficulty + Foxiest of Hounds + No Kill in one playthrough. #proud :)

[Katana_Strikes]

Just finished it last night after getting it on PS+ I was never interested in the game originally, mainly because I remember trying to play the very first game years ago and not being able to get into it/liking it, so it completely put me off. However the game being available for about £10 now was tempting me, so being able to get it for "free" was a no brainer. TBH I probably went in thinking I'd not really enjoy it much... but maybe that's also why I loved it even more, because it surprised me how much I loved it.

It's a big game for a start. Just when you feel it's coming to an end, there's tons more. I love being able to explore the cities and all the secrets/hidden stuff dotted about. There's a lot to explore. It's almost amazing how little load times there are considering. Even going into buildings, there always seems to be another room you stumble into or vent to explore. Hacking was fun and rewarding. Even if I had the code, I'd still hack it for the XP/money.

Being able to upgrade was cool. I didn't actually realise till quite late on you could unlock the other parts to upgrade yourself by spending Praxis kits... I thought these had to be bought in LIMB and wondered what I was missing. It was always hard to choose what to upgrade next because there is a lot to expand your skills. Picking which next was always something I had to carefully think about, like what would help me best for my next challenge ahead.

The only knock I really had with it was a couple of the boss fights and maybe the very end "fight". The first boss was a pain, mainly because I wasn't even expecting a boss fight and how unprepared I was for it. I mean I could have nearly just brought in with me the tranquilizer gun as I was doing the mission stealthily. Thankfully I did, for some reason, pick up a few other weapons along the way to fill my inventory. But he was a bit of a pain to do anyways. Lobbing grenades about and being in general, a bully.

I really didn't want it to end though. Thankfully now I have The Missing Link DLC ready to go, so hopefully I'll enjoy that.

[Bisnic]

I've been itching to replay the game, and i saw that there is 2 DLCs for new weapons for just a few dollars on Steam... is it worth it?

[bengraven]

I love the environments and the Deus Ex-feel, but something is really really really bothering me.

I noticed back in Detroit that there was TONS of reused character faces and voice actors and now that I'm in China and I'm seeing the same shit it's getting old. It's literally hurting my interest in the game that I'm seeing so much repetition.

Developers have to decide where to spend their budgets man. Both time and money. Couple that together with this being thier first outing in an ambitions game and you can understand that they were up against it

Good news is that this is one of those series that yu can tell will be better in its second or third iteration. More money in their budget. Better grasp of their engine and what they want to do with the game. Really cant wait for them to announce the next one.

[Risk Breaker]

So hmmm... I've been progressing through the game and I don't want to spoil anything reading through the thread because it's getting interesting. But regarding the DLC, should I play it when I get there in the game or play it after I finish?

Having beaten both, you lose nothing by beating the dlc after you finish the game. You can stop and start the dlc if you want, but I don't really think it adds anything to the story in terms of what wasn't there.

[SJRB]

Doesn't the DLC auto-integrate with the main game?

[Risk Breaker]

I don't think so, SJRB :( Lovely avatar btw.

Okay, I guess I'll see when I get there. I've read it's close to the climax of the game so maybe I'll leave it for later, I'm not sure I'm going to have a lot of time this week and I don't want to leave it halfway through the last part :)

[rhfb]

Just played an hour of it or so after buying it during the steam sale. Only had a single issue (game slowed down to 1 fps until I ctrl/alt/del out of the game and opened task manager, was fine after that) so far so that is nice. Also I have a question... is there any way to adjust the UI scale? Well, more specifically, the scale of the Radar. I'd love it if it was twice as large as it currently is, stuff got tiny when I augmented Radar 2.

[Yopis]

Would like to know this as well

[Stallion Free]

The mission that comes with one of the weapon packs does. The Missing Link does not.

[subversus]

The mission that comes with one of the weapon packs does. The Missing Link does not.

I thought it integrates seamlessly in you playthrough.

[Forkball]

I thought it integrates seamlessly in you playthrough.

Nope, stand alone. If you want to play it "in order", the only non-spoiler hint I can give you is to play it when you go into a capsule. That's not so spoilery, right? Anyways, when you go into there, you can stop, play Missing Link, and then pick up from there.

Also I'm surprised we didn't get more DLC for this game.

[subversus]

Also I'm surprised we didn't get more DLC for this game.

I'm surprised too.

[GK86]

I have never played any of the previous deus ex games, so didnt really know what to expect going in. Im glad I gave it a shot, the game is amazing. One of the best fps this gen. While I did enjoy the story, the ending was disappointing as hell. I went the stealth route first play through, is it worth going through it again guns blazing? Or is it not as fun?

[En Ex]

I'm surprised too.

They cut out several areas of the game...I'm shocked they didn't repurpose them for DLC packs.

I always did stealth runs, so I'm not sure about guns blazing. But it seems the game was designed to accommodate both, so give it a shot.

And I agree on the ending. I wanted to see the ramifications of Adam's choices in the DX world, not a montage of shots from this one.

Exactly my thoughts. When that came up on screen, I was thinking, wtf is this? Does the secret ending change depending on what button you press? Or is it the same regardless?

I was thinking of doing another stealth run, since I enjoyed the stealth elements in the game, but thought it would be boring so quickly after beating the game.

Secret ending is the same no matter what ending you pick, though Page makes a comment about the wreckage, so the destruction ending might be the canon one.

Which would be insane, especially if you played Adam as a pacifist.

[Typographenia]

Just got around to playing the Missing Link DLC. It was alright. I had fun going through the thing without any praxis upgrades or anything... well, until it didn't give me the achievement for not using any praxis points/firing weapons/whatever. I was very careful to never do anything that could negate that achievement in my playthrough, but I don't know what went wrong. Oh well, 9/10 ain't bad. Not going to replay it just for that one thing. I'd play the full game again before do that.

Without the Hyron Project to regulate the water pressure surrounding Panchaea anymore, the facility was going to collapse in on itself eventually regardless of ending chosen.

Adaaaaaaaam, watch out for the fruit flies! (Possibly NSFW, language)

Apparently he is homeless. Not sure if he still is, but I hope he's doing alright. Great VA.

Would be damn awesome seeing a sequel to this with Luminous.

It's weird listening to his voice, it's like he VAs himself.

[hoverX]

bought this ages ago but never finished it. I should really do that, the story was really enjoyable.

[Jotamide]

I just started playing The Missing Link again. Why is this game so awesome?! Also, why didn't they make any more DLC?

[Rolf NB]

This is the best-looking Wii game I've ever seen...

And wtf at not including English in the EU versions. These translation is a garbage, or something.

[Spring-Loaded]

Where's the tranquilizer gun in Hengsha? I found it in a storage locker and can't find that locker again :(

edit: found it :D

[Edgeward]

I finally got this game working. Before it would randomly slow to a crawl, on top of excessive loading times. Luckily moving it to an SSD made it very playable now and load times are normalish.

Game is pretty sweet. I got all this extra cash though, and I want the LIMB's store to hurry up and sell more augment upgrades.

[SJRB]

Doing an umpteenth playthrough this weekend after double-dipping and getting the PC version during the Steam Summer Sale.

I love this game so much, the art direction is the best I've ever seen in any game or movie. The soundtrack is one of a kind too. Whenever I need to make some graphic designs I always fire up the DXHR soundtrack because it inspires me greatly. The soundscapes are nothing short of brilliant. The augmentation aspect really triggered something in me. Even though I have no educational background regarding the subjects whatsoever, I've been reading quite a lot about neuro robotica, reverse-engineering the human brain and overall technological advancements in regards to bio engineering.


I can only hope a sequel is in the works. I was immensely disappointed that there was nothing during last E3. You know, I would settle for an announcement. Just knowing that the same team behind DXHR is working on a next one would be enough to ease my mind.
Why are you doing this to me, Eidos Montreal?

[bobs...onGaf]

So I just got this game as a rental, and its amazing, my only fear is, as a rental I wont exactly experience the best this game has to offer. I have the rental for a couple of weeks, and can probably play a fair bit during that time, but with rentals I always feel inclined to rush forward, I kind of think this is the type of game where I should slow my pace down. Is that true for the whole game? Or is that just the initial segments? Playing properly how long would the game take to complete? I am a stealth player but mix in some combat here and there.

Im very tempted to send the rental back and pick the game up sometime when I can really take my time with it, would that be recommended or is a few weeks enough?

It can take at least 20 hours the first time, but if you play this game only once you're missing the point.

I think ill send the game back and really enjoy it when I have a lot more time to put into it then! Thanks for the reply!

[The Skater]

Man I had a great time playing through this last year. Time for another playthrough I think.

Time for OT2? :p
