I loved HR but I won't be picking up this game day one. Will see if it's a mistake...
Can we unban Derrick01 for the launch?
Yeah, definitely agreed that the XP rewards need to be rebalanced more - HR pushed you really hard toward stealth/nonlethal (but then punished you for it in the boss fights).Nice, a sign of confidence.
I'm looking forward to the game quite a lot. I'm not sure how the story and writing will be, and I feel the direction they're taking it is significantly more fantasy'ish and grandiose than the origin of the franchise. I remember the first Deus Ex being a relatively grounded world, especially when it took place 52 years after the game releases. In MD, the story takes place only 16 years from the day of the game's release, and it feels like a really alien world, and Adam much more of a superhero than ever. It's a matter of taste, of course. Personally, I prefer simpler things with my sci-fi, but others of course can prefer this.
That being said, I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it gameplay-wise. Even things that seem odd to me from a story perspective, such as Corvo's Blink ability, should be really fun to play around with. I really enjoyed the multiple paths and options in HR, the amount of active abilities to take when leveling up (instead of just a bunch of +5% to this or that), and just the general mechanics. I hope that after Dishonored they took it one step forward in how creative you can be.
The two main things I hope they improved in gameplay are about combat. The first is the rewards for going in loud. HR encouraged with its XP the quiet approach extremely more than it did going for the action. I'd like for the action-approach to allow the same amount of rewards, albeit for different accomplishments. Secondly, I hope the gunplay itself is also improved, because in HR going in loud at the first levels was brutal, and not too viable until the later part of the game.
It'll be interesting to see how this and Dishonored 2 compare. Two of my most anticipated games of the year.
Why was he banned in the first place ?
The PS4 version does look pretty damn solid from what I've seen of it. They are using a modified version of Hitman's Glacier engine, which runs and looks pretty damn good on consoles.

I dunno I kind of like there being no counter voice to unhinged hype. Look at the disaster that is No Man's Sky threads. Its glorious. having more people like Derrick to keep that in check, that would ruin the fun.Can we unban Derrick01 for the launch?
Will I need to have played the others to play this?
Definitely expect it to review really well but share the same flaws as its predecessor (moments of limited choice, schlocky hamfisted writing, obvious routes in level design rather than organic and convincing locations).
Don't get me wrong though I played like 100 hours of Human Revolution before I got tired of it so I'm still in for this either way.
Collector's Edition Unboxing
I don't mind that Amazon cancelled my pre-order for it now. It all looks nice but considering the price, I feel like the season pass should have been included as well. There's also a full hardback art book being released alongside the game that I assume will be more in-depth than the one included here.
The music in the background is glorious though! Looking forward to the soundtrack just as much as the game.
Yeah I cancelled my CE too because the extra cost is pretty much for the statue when for the deluxe edition that's $50-60 cheaper, you're getting all that digital content AND the season pass which the CE doesn't even have. Ditto on the art book too.
Now lift the marketing embargo SE.
Is the deluxe only digital? Thats is what I find in amazon
I currently have the collector edition pre ordered
