Kill her. DO IT.

Just finished. Fantastic game. The morality in this game felt so natural.
Choice at the end had a lot of weight. I spent 30 min just standing there trying to figure out what to decide.
This is not the edge of the world but you can see it from here. I was like O CRAP!
Edit - WTF! Just saw the little clip after the credits. DAMN YOU REED!!

My personal GOTY candidates include this game & Crysis 2. I don't want to bring up some uppity "high level play" bullshit, but I felt like I was decently knowledgeable about Crysis 2's spawn points, maps & gameplay. I felt like a badass taking everyone out efficiently. Same with Deus Ex. Just had a ball wiping out people in an efficient way. I learned where to exactly do this, at this exact moment to get this result. It's not exactly skill, but it feels very satisfying.
They're not exactly alike, and Crysis 2's story is shit, but I love both games. Need to play Gears soon, BF3 coming up too, I may get into that (not a CoD dude).
It's honestly a toss-up for me, and I deeply love the first one.Wallach said:
I posted on it a while back and it's hard to sum up, but I feel like the changes they made to the formula to make the game more accessible were very successful. The mechanics of this game with the wide-open freedom of progression in the original would make one of the best games of all time.
Finowns, use spoiler tags please. go like this (you can quote this post to see how):
stuff to black out
This is a mid to late game location spoiler, which I'll tag since I'm not sure how far along you are.bishoptl said:
I'm at the second trip to Hengsha, and the streets are littered with a mix of sleeping and dead civilians and Harvesters. I stocked up over 70 rounds of sniper ammo for just this moment. Punching out every dude in line for LIMB was a highlight. There's something about triggering the NPC to speak and then interrupting them with a punch to the face that never gets old.
On my next game, I'm going to fully deplete the post-riot Detroit. Sniper, top of building, headshot bonanza.
Oh, and The Hive? Say hello to level 2 Typhoon in the middle of the bottom floor.

Finished it, very fun throughout even though I pretty much went all out guns ablazing through the entire game, but the ending surprised me, felt kind of sudden to me and I went WTF when the credits started rolling

For me, the first one is still better. But that's ok - after all, the first one is my favourite game.Wallach said:
HR is a worthy sequel, and that's more than enough.

It's one of the easiest, for sure.
Dyni Crippler said:
Agreed. Only thing holding HR back is it's story is just not on par. Gameplay wise, it does many things better, with only a few of HR's design decisions lacking in comparison to the first game.
Worthy sequel indeed.

I finished Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines just yesterday and can't wait to dig into Deus Ex: HR after reading this thread . Vampire turned out to be easily one of the best games I've ever played and there's only one thing keeping me off from starting DE right away: ENB Series
Should I wait for a new version of the ENB Series? The dude working on it said on September 29th a new version is due soon. If I'm not mistaken the current ENB mod runs on DX9 only, right? Do the improved graphics make up for the lack of DX10 and 11 effects? Do you recommend playing the first playthrough with ENB at all?
My rig is pretty good: Phenom II X4 3,4 Ghz, Geforce GTX 570 and 8 GB RAM.
EDIT: Can I install the current ENB version and simply update it once he releases the updated version without losing my save files?

Yep, I feel the same. Not as good as the first, but the fact that it comes even close to one of my favorite games is a huge achievement.
Not sure about the rest of your questions, since I haven't played with ENB, but I think the game still looks great without it. I'll personally wait until we get a more optimized version, and hopefully a DX11 one.

The game was fucking AWESOME! Just beat it.
I never got the "upgraded" biochip because I figured it would be a trick. Turns out it was... Do you gain anything whatsoever by actually getting the biochip?

In the fight with Jaron all of your augmentations get deactivated, making the fight much more difficult. When you meet up with Megan, she injects with some sort of nanomachine that deactivates the biochip so you get your augs back.

Just finished and I agree, GOTY so far (Dark Souls..). I say best AAA game since Bioshock.Wallach said:
Edit- Just think about how well they lived up to the legacy of the original game. They should be given a special award just for that!
XB360 version.

Freezes before I can go through the doors.
Installing to HDD did not seem to help.
Any ideas guys? A quick Google search reveals that I'm not the only one with this problem but I seem to be short on solutions.

I'm so torn GAF, help me... I just got this game on ps3, still wrapped, as a present. However, I think I might hold off and trade it in for Rage? What say you gentlemen?

Late in the game, I'm trying to do the Talion A.D. sidequest, and I'm not sure if it's glitched or not, but I've retrieved a pocket secretary, as instructed, but nothing happens after that. The blue waypoint marker has disappeared. I'm thinking of checking the
but I find it weird that the waypoint marker didn't change, rather it disappeared altogether.
I'm just worried that if the marker disappeared that it's reflective of a glitch in the game's scripting or something. I'm thinking that even if I go to the right spot, unless the game schedules the correct people to be there, I won't be able to complete the quest. Anyone else have this issue?
sewers in the other districts,

I'm pretty sure I've run into a glitch. Whenever I return to Detroit, some computers/locks have been reset so they haven't been unlocked (even though I'm 100% sure I unlocked them). Unfortunately, this also applies to Jensen's Comp at Sarif HQ. So "Acquaintances Forgotten" Sidequest never triggers.
Know anyone else with a 360 and a spare 15 mins? You could take your save/GT and disc round and see if you can get past that point on a different 360 (you never know it could be the console). If you can, save and take it home. If you can't you've ruled out your box so it is either a dodgy save or your disc.ZealousD said:

Bit of a noob question but do I get a storage locker to store stuff in, as my sniper rifle is taking up alot of space. Thanks.

Not exactly, but I think you can drop stuff in your apartment. It shouldn't disappear.thechemist said:
Got to the third boss.
Tempted to file the game away in my "Finished" Steam folder and forget it even exists at this point. I've just attempted the third boss some 30 or so times and not even come close to beating him. Can barely even scratch him.
Ruined the game for me, absolutely awful.

If you want a cheesy way to beat him, wait for him on the opposite end of a wall and bait him into jumping over. You'll get a takedown prompt during the animation that allows you to knock him out in one punch.Mat C said:

in hengshah, need some tactical advice
im trying to escape the upper level and they set up those cube mechs in those large rooms. i have a rocket launcher with only 4 rockets, 1 emp grenade, and 2 frag grenades. plenty of combat rifle ammo, and a decent amount of (explosive) magnum ammo. (other stuff includes double barrel shotty, flash nades, and whisperhead sniper rifle. i have very few combat related augs.)
it seems like i have to either waste an EMP to take one down, waste rockets to take one down, or peck at it forever with my combat rifle until they kill me with missile splash damage.
is there an easier way of taking them down without using all of my ammo and items? i really want to take them out, as i SUUUUUCK at sneaking. but i feel like a boss fight is close and i want to have ammo left over. (especially my EMP, as it saved my ass with barret)

LOL. Those mechs are
Semi-boss of some kind. There is no boss after that until you arrive in Picus News and explore the entire place. By then you'll have a few more stuff to prepare against boss fight. You don't need anything fancy to fight the 2nd human boss anyway. Just use Typhoon level two x 2 times.
As for those mechs, if you don't want to fight them you can sneak into the upper area and turn them off from the control room. But you can kill each one easily with one EMP bomb/Frag grenade each.

thanks, i'll go ahead and try to brute-force them a few more times. maybe change my angle of attack too. the railing gets in my way a little and also fudges the splash damage i receive.
as a side note, i can't get over how perfect the magnum feels. especially now with explosive rounds. i've only ever fired a revolver once in real life, and it oddly didn't kick at all. i squeezed the trigger and then suddenly i couldn't hear anything. (was so loud) so even if the kick in the game isn't too realistic, i have this image in my mind of how it felt holding the revolver i did long ago.

What about nanomachines? That's not for another 25 years in the Deus Ex universe.
