I am the man controlling the puppet! He will save me for the end, after he has solved this case.

Also, I will take particular care in torturing the characters who have blue hair like that chick in the photo. Blue hair, really? We're in a piss filter reality! Everyone knows blue is passé in yellow haze worlds.

I have been staying away from the previews.
I tried to stay far away from preview build impressions.
I did not want to get hyped. I have been burned too many times by devs turning storied franchises into shit.

I have my pre-order confirmed.
I am now hyped.

MGS4 had a lot of positive reviews as well.

I'm going to wait a month and see how everything shakes out.

Difference is that people have played this already. But yes, MGS 4 is the most grossly overrated game ever.

Canceling my pre-order after the Metacritic score dropped all the way down to 89%. I don't buy games that are worse than Dead Space 2.

I'd like to give a big F U to Gamespot & all those sites giving this game mid to lower 8's.

There is so much more in this game's design & feature list than every game they reviewed a 9+ over the years.

I'm never visiting or clicking on anything Gamespot from now on.

" Remember when first-person games were complex, multifarious, and had a quicksave? Remember Thief, Deus Ex, Bloodlines? It’s that place, that brain-massaging, hair-stroking safe place of excellence that it was getting hard to remember ever really happened."

This completely comforts me about my first Day 1 Perch in years.

I think most following the game expected it. The game clearly has some jank going on, which will get knocked down for on many sights. It seems to go for ambition over polish, which never particularly responses well on dated systems.

Funny, Ben Kuchera from Ars said quick save is a negative. Sad times. One of the many things I wish a lot of PC games would stop adapting is waypoint only saving on PC ports of console games.

Any word about console versions? I have both a ps3 and 360.

They're fine. Apparently controlling with a gamepad works great.

Haven't seen any PS3 vs. 360 comparisons, though.

It also has a great number of flaws that many folks are glossing over or are pretending don't exist. I don't know about those other places, but at least at GS, an 8.5 means super-great. Seems odd to get all huffy about a site that would call a super-great game (and a game with many clear flaws) super-great.

Whaaa? Blue Dragon 6.0, Lost Odyssey 7.5, Final Fantasy XIII 8.5??? Yeah, right, spot-on.
Click to expand...

You're right; Blue Dragon was crazy. I totally overrated that game, what with its screechy one-note characters and bland overworld. I am assuming that's what you meant, of course ;)

There are things you'll want to stop and look at for minutes at a time because you won't believe someone designed a 'Forever Alone' Post-It note and stuck it on a desk where only one percent of players will ever see it and even fewer will ever get it.

It's the only way to play Deus Ex, as far as I'm concerned. I posted this in the OT, but it's worth a repost:

In Deus Ex HR, you can punch the shit out of a break dancer, what more could we ask for?

Does someone have the gif with the hooker getting Undertaker Choke Slammed? lol

I'd totally go with this if Steam wasn't already on a regular HDD. I didn't want to get involved in that crazy drive aliasing/mirroring/whatevering thing that people are doing, but..

Would my PC be able to run this at, at least medium settings?

Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E7400
2.80 GHz
6.00 GB RAM
nVidia GeForce 9500 GT

I am so tempted to just get it on GMG for $34 instead of getting it on console. Would much rather play it on PC, but I don't have that great of a PC.

I'm really impressed with these reviews. I've never played a Deus Ex game, but I think I might start with this one tomorrow.

Scores seems fine to me.

87 for the Witcher 2 and 88 for Human Revolution. Clearly games press is biased in favor of guns. But either, I think its fitting that the two best games this year would score so similarly.

WTF? How did this happen? Solid Comeback. Would be interested to read impressions from longtime Deus Ex fans. Haven't played any Deus Ex so this will be my first.

This is amazing because I want to do that to every break dancer I see, and finally a game comes along that lets me do it.

As someone who breakdances, I find this statement offensive. :-/

I played through and beat the two previous games at the times of their releases. Based on the preview I think this could be the best Deus Ex game with IW being a distant 3rd(and I didn't hate IW).

Creative but slightly janky always leads to worse reviews Day 1 then safe and polished. Maybe rightly so, because jankiness is an obvious flaw. However, the jank can be patched over time (officially, or by the gaming community). Uninspired/safe game design cannot.
