Sorry Wurm I do most on my gaming on my 360 these days. Glad you figured it out.

You were right, it WAS $25, so I bought it.Quote:

The boss battles were apparently outsourced. And I just realized I probably missed a sale on the DLC when the game was on sale last weekend!
Yea the boss battles were pretty lame. Which kind of sucks because the rest of the whole game is just so good. I felt like there was almost too much for you to do/choose from for the boss battles to even be effective.
Do I go invisible? Sprint! Lob a nade! Shoot! Reload! Oh damn my health is low, let me pause the game, take a stim or painkillers, ok back in the action, nade, shoot... repeat.
Took you out of the action.
I had a fully upgraded assault rifle for the boss fights... they never lasted more than a few seconds. They still sucked though.
The plasma rifle just tears **** up. Pure ownage in the last level.
The laser rifle is almost a cheat if you use it on the last boss. Since it shoots right through glass.Quote:

This sucks, it's a great game but this kind of crap really spoils it.
I think completing this game will be next on my gaming to-do list.
LOL i used a lame tactic for that fight, you can carry a remote turret up the elevator and set it to attack enemies... then the turret basically rips up the boss for you in 10 seconds.Quote:

I had the same dilemma with that boss fight. I even tried the turret, but it barely scratched him on Give Me Deus Ex difficulty. I ended up reloading a previous save so I could make the other choice.
Thanks guys,
The turret worked. It didn't kill him, he threw an EMP at it. But it weakened him enough that I could get him with the heavy rifle.
What boss were you guys having problems with? I don't remember any of them but the first one being a PITA. And he was only hard because I hadn't upgraded my assault rifle yet.
Jarron Namir. I died no less than 30 times, before being clued in about the turret.
Weird...
Maybe the fully upgraded assault rifle is better than the heavy rifle?
I remember him stepping off the pedestal right onto a EMP mine I had dropped and then melting to a blast from my assault rifle. I also had the aug that stops EMP from affecting my augs, that probably also made a huge difference.
I know what it was, you didn't get the chip "upgrade" that corrupted your systems.Quote:

lol of course I didn't get the upgrade, I knew something was fishy when it was offered to me.
Im still playing at the very beginning. Fun game and is a true sequel to Deus Ex 1...but so little time to play games lately...
I thought this was superb, really enjoyed the presentation, atmosphere and audio with non-lethal gameplay working well and multiple routes to objectives with lots to explore.
The story lets the game down considerably although it looks like it was seriously cut down based on the trailers which is a shame as it's starts off with a lot of promise and quickly fizzles out. The broken animation during conversations is a bit irritating although the boss fights were the worst part which I see the developers apologised for last week. It didn't make much sense encouraging people to go for stealth then dumping you in a situation where you had to use raw firepower particularly if you've been investing your points in hacking and stealth rather then combat.

Interesting. They apologised for the boss fights? I'd love to read that, do you have a link? I know they outsourced the boss fights to a third-party developer. I wasn't as annoyed by them as most people although they were tedious and, as you say, contradicted the prevailing gameplay ethos. They were very beautifully designed but repetitive and teeth-grinding to play.Quote:

beat it on PC and went back and bought it again for PS3 since i want to try it with the theater experience
GOTY2011 for me
Sure, this is it here:Quote:

“We didn’t know what they were for. We saw them as a way to break the tension,” admitted the dev. But the fights weren’t designed until well into the game development and the team were pressed for time. “We figured by putting in enough ammo in the room, we would be fine and could move on… next time we’ll think about them more. They were a big part of the game and we should have put more effort into them. We are truly sorry about that.”
Agreed although I'm not sure if it was so much hype but just more simply they were aiming too high as the game overall seems to be quite a bit less than originally intended. I did wonder if some of the ending text is based on your actions at all as Adam mentions how close had come to abusing his power but managed to resist, if you've had a more brutal play through does he say something different?Quote:
