Embargo lifts 4 days before release, surely a good sign. Can't wait for this game. All signs point to awesome. Anyone else excited?

[benzy]

Yep, hyped.

 

[duckroll]

Reviews before a game is released? I never asked for this.

 

[UberTag]

I'll be able to make an informed purchasing decision on launch day. Just like every other industry that isn't gaming. What a world we live in!

 

[JeffZero]

I am damned excited. I played Human Revolution last year; it was my first Deus Ex game, too. Solid 8/10. If the sequel is as good or better, I'll be thrilled.

lol. Yep.

 

[Mifec]

Already posted it in the preload thread but yeah pretty good.

 

[Drewfonse]

Great 101 video from April, proper hype ensues

Spot on.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Possible GOTY right here

 

[Data West]

once deux ex hits, it's like the flood gates of games i want to play unleashes

 

[Karak]

Ahh ya. Gonna go check my review email. Excited to check it out.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Mock reviews must have come back positive. Early embargo is always a good sign.

 

[EmSeta]

Please be good.

 

[Tohsaka]

Sounds good, they must be confident it will review well.

 

[Falchion]

Cool, hope it lives up to the expectations.

Alright, officially on my radar now.

 

[StanleyPalmtree]

read thread title too quickly,
thought it said the game got a review of 8 out of 19.

i was very confused for a second there.

 

[golem]

Totally takes the danger and tension out of my preorder- cancelled!

 

[VanCityGamer]

I am damned excited. I played Human Revolution last year; it was my first Deus Ex game, too. Solid 8/10. If the sequel is as good or better, I'll be thrilled.

8/10 brah?? Nah, better than that.

Personally, I'd give it a 9.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Any word if the PC version will be up to standards in 2016?

 

[Renekton]

Inconsequential to me, since I might wait for 2 patches before digging in.

 

[Bubba_Sparks]

I'm hoping it's good! Nice to see they were able to get it out early so reviewers would have a chance to play it before hand.

 

[Tapejara]

Hoping this means Digital Foundry will have a video on the game's performance before launch. I got a good price on the PS4 version, but I want to make sure it runs well.

 

[Mifec]

Any word if the PC version will be up to standards in 2016?

nixxes are doing it, so hopefully

[BoosterDuck]

How do we know this isn't a conspiracy by Eidos to send out review copies so early that they add a disclaimer of bugs and glitches and content that will supposedly be fixed on a day 1 patch but never are?!

IS THIS WHAT WE ASKED FOR

 

[Aters]

That's a lot of time before release. They must be very confident.

 

[StrikeFirst117]

The review embargo ending before the release must mean that Square Enix has full confidence in the game itself. Its nice because no people can make an informed decision whether they want to purchase the game or not.

 

[steven28]

Very excited,if it's anything like human revolution it should be a brilliant game.

 

[SugarDave]

8's and 9's pretty much across the board, I'm predicting.

 

[cleveridea]

wow nice to see it has reviews pre launch

I have the CE preordered with the Best Buy GCU 20% discount so I can return it and get a regular edition if game looks disappointing. I loved the first game, so I am expecting this to be ever better (better looking environments, more powers, hopefully no bullet sponge bosses this time around) so I am buying day one regardless

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Expecting glowing reviews for this game.

 

[Floody]

Been on an almost (watched a couple of trailers) complete media black-out for this, as I trust Eidos to deliver after Dues Ex: HR, good to see they and Square are confident in their product.

 

[aravuus]

Cool. I'm not 100% sure what I actually thought of Human Revolution, like I can't say if I liked it or not lol, so this is one very rare case where I actually might even read a couple of reviews. Nice to know I'll be able to make a somewhat educated decision day one.

 

[cleveridea]

Yeah they have shown a ton of areas in the various videos, and in detail too.

 

[EatChildren]

Metacritic 6.5/10 incoming.

 

[Mexen]

I guarantee you'll never see it coming

 

[Arklite]

I'm sure they're confident, I remember they didn't make too much of a fuss when HR had that big leak of the first playable hub. Did nothing but confirm the game's quality.

 

[Krappadizzle]

 

[VanCityGamer]

Metacritic 6.5/10 incoming.

Is that what you really predict?? The previews have been really positive, no?

 

[Kaizer]

Hopefully (& most likely) it'll be just as good as Human Revolution was and if it's even better than that then it'll be super awesome. I was just rewatching some of the E3 demos yesterday - can't wait to play this!

 

[Rock Howard]

That is awesome news. If it reviews well, I'm gonna pre-order the CE.

 

[Machina]

Fuck yeahhhhh lets go Jenson

 

[hughesta]

Oh man, I adored Human Revolution but haven't seen a single thing about this. Can't fucking wait, gonna go in mostly blind.

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

Absolutely loved Human Revolution back in 2011, hoping for this one to be a worthy follow-up.

Hard for me to accept it's already been a half a decade since HR -- feels like it was maybe only two years ago in my mind.

Super excited! Possibly my most anticipated game for the remainder of 2016.

 

[munroe]

Regardless of the score I'll still play it. Haven't not played any of the edit(autocorrect): Deus ex games

 

[Sevket-Erhat]

Please be good.

It will be

 

[Remmy2112]

I'm sure they're confident, I remember they didn't make too much of a fuss when HR had that big leak of the first playable hub. Did nothing but confirm the game's quality.

I still sometimes think that leak was intentional. So many fans of the original had found Invisible War to be terrible and here this new group was trying to revitalize the franchise with a prequel. That leak helped sell so many leery people on the game's potential.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I'll be able to make an informed purchasing decision on launch day. Just like every other industry that isn't gaming. What a world we live in!

I definitely asked for this.

 

[Neiteio]

This game comes out this month??
