    A lot of reviewers are calling this game, like its original ancestor, a masterpiece in creative game design with, comparatively speaking, only a few minor issues.

    The almost flawless execution with which this game apparently pulls off its lofty design philosophy is said to be one of the most important things to happen to gaming in the last decade, but only time will tell if those claiming to know, are right.

    Have you yet played Deus Ex: Human Revolution? Would you say it was that good? Or are the reviewers exaggerating just a tad? Or is it, in your experience, a humdrum game with as many detractors as highlights?

    Are you waiting to find out what it's like? Are you waiting for cheaper, pre-owned copies to flood the shops?

    Speaking for myself, I'm waiting on my copy today, which in the UK is the game's release date. And I am pretttty excited about it.

    Too much money spent on Yu-Gi-Oh!

    I've never played any game from this series before but all I hear is how amazing the game is and how there's some meme about people reinstalling the game because it's just that good ¬______¬

    I might have to pick this one up since it's on the PS3.
     
    Since you know, Invisible War was belgh, I didn't really have hopes for this and was skeptical about the reviews.

    I was wrong.

    Currently clocked about 12 hours into the game, it stays true to the first game.
    Only complaints are that the boss battles seem to be unavoidable unlike the first game, and the augments seem to be much milder* (though I guess it balances it out, seeing how Stealth made Swimming cry in Deus Ex 1.)

    * Though seeing how they are mech-augs rather than the bio-augs in the first game (set in the future of Human Revolution) and thus not so advanced, it might actually be making sense.

    [edit]
    Also awesome ingame news like this.

    That is FANTASTIC.


    I've heard some not-so-good news about the gameplay. Apparently, only the combat difficulty really scales up with difficulty modes. That means, boss battles aside, it would be just as easy to beat the game on harder difficulty settings if you stick to the conveniently large and ubiquitous ventilation shafts.

    Here's some way to make up for it. If you want to make stealth more tricky ('cause I do because I play Splinter Cell (please don't even think of mentioning the train-wreck that was Conviction)) just get all the wrong augmentations. Or completely avoid augmentations. Aha. Not even the ones that let you move large objects away from ventilation ducts. Then see how stealthy you can be.

    But that's rich, seeing as I don't even have the game quite yet. Doi.

    - I tried to play stealth with this game. I felt a noticeable "learning curve", where for the first few missions I wouldn't be really good at it, but nearer the end I was having a lot of fun avoiding enemies and getting Ghost bonuses. I thought that was a good aspect.

    I only played a few hours of the game, but it feels like the game is just forcing you to use stealth for most missions. It's basically impossible to run-and-gun, and it's much more convenient to just knock the enemies out.
     
    Well I am sure that you guys have had a good play on Deus Ex. What do you all think of it?

    I am still yet to get my hands on it.​

    Ahah. I seemed to have missed this thread when making my own. My apologies.

    ----

    So I've been hearing a lot of great things about this game, but I unfortunately cannot get my hands on its predecessor, which of course means my knowledge of the previous plot is limited.

    So I have two questions.
    Will I understand the story and characters of Deus Ex: Human Revolution if I do not play the first game?
    Is it worth the money I would be paying (around £40)?
