[Game] Deus Ex: Human Revolution

[[-project.rattus-]]

Sadly, there is no option to deactivate mouse smoothing, which seems to be he number one case of input lag in games. Never have understood the reason of it exisiting other than to piss me off.

Strangely though, amping up the sensitivity to about half of the slider made the mouselag bearable, for some odd reason I can't explain.

OK so, so far imagine Deus Ex (freedom of movement/approach) combined with Batman Arkham Asylum (Stealth) combined with Mass Effect (cover system/weapon based combat).

I'm hugely surprised and pleased with this game.

Could anyone who has already finshed the game help me?

Spoiler!

I have now deactivated the scrambler in the brb territory. I have also found the weapons cache for the undervover cop (Jenny, I think). Problem is, the VTOL has landed in the territory and takes me right to the next mission.

I could: Exfiltrate the territory without being seen, finish the sidequest for jenny and then reinfiltrate to get to the next mission

Or: Take the next mission straight away.

I do not know if I can finish Jenny

Yes

Thank you kindly!

I am now in the second hub. The visual design keeps getting better and better. Those advertisements, the athmosphere of the citys, just amazing.
Those subtly in-jokes are also a nice touch - 3 shells toilet paper anyone?

 

[SheepDip]

I have to say that despite all the fancy futuristic city architecture that came across in a lot of the trailers - the world itself feels broken down and dirty, a lot like DX.

My favourite reference so far is overhearing 2 cops as I vent-crawled talking about Robocop.

Lol yeah, inside the Detroit precinct. But you missed the best part, the cop who didn't know that eighties movies was called detective Alex Murphy...

We need more games like this. So much love went into this game.

Have you tried this:

Also turning SSAO from high to medium eliminated all the mouse lag for me.

Thank you, I have just tried that. The controls are a bit better but there is still some underlying acceleration. Still, somewhat better now.

Changing SSAO to medium did nothing for me though.


I guess I am the only one with that problem, but it pops up in games from time to time: Everytime a game gives me the option to not kill anyone, I feel strongly compelled to do that. In Metal Gear, in Splinter Cell... And now Human Revolution, I am given all this wonderful toys of destruction and carnage but my conscience wont allow me to use them! That is just cruel, dear developers!

I heard somewhere that the non-violent way of playing gives the most exp, but in the end, they only give me even more stuff to kill people with.

I cannot decide whether I should love or hate games for that very reason

Jensen is just a general badass.

What kind of DRM does this game have? Does the Steam version only have Steam for DRM?

And what about bugs? Is the game rather bug free?

 

[Nimsky]

The game is great. It does a lot of things better than the original, such as the stealth and the voice acting. Its gameplay is a lot more fun and challenging because you die in 1 - 4 hits, the health regen is very slow, the AI is smart and the stealth is line of sight-based rather than shadow-based. And Adam Jensen is a great character IMO. I'm really enjoying it. It's definitely a worthy successor, a true Deus Ex game.

Probably GOTY for me.

Is the game rather bug free?

Yes. It runs great on my old PC.

Yeah just Steam. No other nasty crap in there as far as I know.

Just watched the Making-Of. You can really see how passionate all of them were and are. Deus Ex is definitely one of my favourite series of all times. If they manage to make the next one more emotional(like all those cgi trailers) and have a bit more connection to Deus Ex 1(in terms of timeline, characters etc.) it would win the universe(only rival being HL3).

 

[slavek]

(only rival being HL3).

I'll be waiting patiently for DEx4. DEx is like crack for the mind, give us more! We want to know more!

(only rival being HL3).

HL3: Make me!

Valve: Later . . .

 

[Oook!]

Can't say I came across any bugs and if there was DRM it worked well enough to not be noticable at all.

Really the only issue I had with the game was how a couple of the main elements worked poorly with a hacker/stealth type character. I ended up having to do a couple of cheeky things to get past the last two bosses.

Oh also accidentally killing one of the main plot characters by throwing a dead body at him was quite amusing.

Just completed it, superb in places and bad in others.

It's probably been said 100 times but the boss fights were terrible but they were easy after Yelena as my stats were buffed enough by then. Started going down the hacker route on med difficulty and by the end had pretty much maxed out most of the augments upgrades so the last two boss battles were pretty easy.

The world was well realised and had lots of interesting things to read and felt believable. The plot started with promise but felt clich
