Deus Ex: Human Revolution - PC Game Review

Recommended Posts

Just finished my first playthrough of the game and...WOW, was it awesome, the story was awesome, the game was awesome, the ending was awesome (at least the Sarif's one IMO)

the last boss battle could have been a little harder, since i had the EMP/eletricity resistance augment and maxed the dermal armor, the turrets and the shockwaves werent much of a threat, i guess they did that to give a chance for the less prepared players but i wanted a more challenging battle, double the robots, turrets, and the crazy guards would have made it cooler.

 

My game of the year.

Since TF2 wont stop crashing i guess i will spend the weekend enjoying the replay value, choosing different approaches for the gameplay and the story.

Some challenges should complete the fun:

-Get and upgrade all augs.

-No augs (no using praxis kits)

-Go for the achievements

-Play the whole game only using a 10MM pistol (just love the ammount of upgrades the pistol supports)

you need at least level 5 hacking i'm pretty sure. so i'd at least level that up. :D

Nah, hacking is really handy later in the game but is not fully necessary, you can find the passwords for most security terminals and everything that requires hacking to finish the main story is level 1, also, usually there are vents or heavily guarded entrances as an alternative route. And that is the beauty of Deus Ex :D

just realised you can explode most doors instead of hacking.

 

No level 5 terminal can save you now >:D

I've been playing a lot of Deus Ex HR. I finally got the turret hacking augmentation. So, I got myself one of those bad boys and carried it from room to room. It killed like 40 guys and 2 robots :mrgreen:

I called it "Chuckles".

I noticed a few Half Life easter eggs in Deus Ex RH. Check these emails.

If you don't remember those, I recommend you watch Freeman's Mind Ep. 1 again.

And I also found a rather disturbing email.

I remember seeing those e-mails, never hit me that it was a HL easter egg, i guess i should hear everything i read inside my head with that computer voice

 

The JC thing is just a pun i guess,

by a long shot it could be a friend of one of the scientists who engineered THE JC Denton

So i was browsing youtube and found something i wasnt aware of (again).

 

Deus Ex: HR doesnt have 4 endings, it has 12 endings as a matter of fact, the different endings are only achieved through different behaviors during your playthroughs.

 

Adam's reflexions of his choice at the end are changed by how you played the game (either being a cold blooded jackass, a friendly non-lethal agent, and being at the middle).

 

To see the difference, just pay attention to Adam's monologue at the middle of the videos.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RE-nwoSuCc - Good: Sarif

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR1WRZOtrqg - Good: Taggart

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s-njfpHYdE - Good: Self-Destruct

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrjsIK0R4Vg - Evil: Darrow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSmRNgvfwUk - Evil: Sarif

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qPooBM7aFA - Evil: Taggart

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsnBL0njnuE - Evil: Self-Destruct

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f1zlAgQm00 - Neutral: Darrow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqM0eXgoIm0 - Neutral: Sarif

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ildT2d5qfiw - Neutral: Taggart

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fQMYN0sSLg - Neutral: Self-Destruct

 

All the endings in one video:

Speaking of endings, which one did you agree with most? On the one hand, the Sarif ending's idealism and point regarding "The Cycle of Technology" are what made me choose it as my choice when first presented with the Endingtron 4000. On my second playthorugh, blowing up the place so that humanity could find its own way seemed like a valid option and the most likely canon one.

 

Overall: Sarif wins, Taggart is a dick, Darrow is an idiot, and a bomb is a valid option.

I love you, yet can't stand to know you exist.

In other words:

 

Sarif ending is more canon with good Adam

 

Taggart ending and Darrow ending are more canon with evil Adam

 

A BOMB is more canon with neutral Adam (but it still is a bad choice for close range combat).

 

 

When in doubt just explode everything.

Why the f..... haven't I thought about that!? I always assume the game is much less flexible than it really is! I guess I got used to games from 10 -5 yrs ago!

 

 

 

:D OMG 12endings! Haave to play this game again, for Christmas.
