Where was that from? I checked the DLC on Steam but it's currently £9 so thought I'd way for the next Steam sale.

for the boss that scrambles your vision you can do a nonlethal takedown on him whenever he climbs over a wall. it's a bit cheap but it makes the battle last 30 seconds
Thanks, will keep an eye on Gamersgate.
I made a bit of an error in that sectionSpoiler
I think the cinematic extended trailer is just great but I've been puzzled why his wrist closes as he moves it down to pick up the glass, a section slides down then clips into place. I would assume it's the section that allows the blade to be extended and retracted but I can't see why it's in the trailer:

^ because the fmv was outsourced to square enix
That isn't really an explanation, the rest of the video matches up with his (and other characters) abilities so I'd hope there is a reason for initial part on his arm.
Deus Ex is 75% off today if anyone is fancying the DLC content.

Any of the DLC worth it?
I didn't think so.Quote:

1. Tactical Enhancement Pack just starts you off with a few extra weapons and money you'll find later in the game. Essentially charging you money for a cheat code.
2. Explosive Mission Pack is a touch better, in that it adds a mission. However, it was literally part of the original game that they cut out for the sole purpose of selling it back to you. The mission isn't worth playing, although it does help with the contiguity of the story (for obvious reasons).
3. The Missing Link is the only one that feels like an add on and not just part of the game taken out so it can be re-packaged and sold to you for more money. Even still, I found it to be boring as it feels like more of the same. Want another 5-10 hours of DX 3 gameplay with little-to-no additional story? Then you may want to get this one.
*** Minor Missing Link story spoilers ***
It takes place in the middle of the DX 3 story (about 3/4 of the way through the game). So you don't really advance anything as far as the original story goes, and the story for the add on is weak, imo. It *does* give you a possible minor peek into the story of a potential sequel.
I got the missing link DLC for free but I wouldn't suggest paying any money at all for it. If you want more human revolution gameplay go play through the game again with some artificial constriction, all-nonlethal or whatever.
By the way, there's an incredibly easy way to cheese yourself a bunch of money early on using the arms dealers. When you knock out a bunch of enemies, take the guns from the first one, sell them, then take the guns from the second one, sell them, and so on. Usually the extra guns would be "turned into" ammo, this way you get so sell each of them as a gun. This helps with affording all the Praxis you can buy at the clinics early on, but later in the game money is completely useless anyway.
I think the worst thing I can say about HR is that if I had to choose a Deus Ex game to play through again right now, I would go with DE1 even though I've only finished HR once.
I wish I'd seen your post before buying the DLC but at least it wasn't expensive.

im enjoying it more on my ps3 than pc... the large plasma gives it a more cinematic feel and the graphics were not that stellar to begin with so that advantage is lost on the PC... also the gameplay is not a twitch shooter so once again the gamepad works great
Just started playing this after getting it for Christmas and having it sit unopened on my shelf for 3 months.
I was late to the Deus Ex party, and never even got around to playing the first game until just a few years ago, despite owning the GotY edition.
Only 1 mission in, but so far I'm enjoying it quite a bit. :)
Is it just me or are the graphics absolutely horrible in this game?
They aren't great that's for sure, I wouldn't say horrible though. I believe there are gfx mods if you are playing on PC.Quote:

That said, I could care less. Like someone before said, the art direction is what carries the game. Plus, it's an RPG mostly, so graphics aren't a big deal.
Hell, the original is still easy to get into and great fun over a decade later!
Seriously? Oh man, I thought there was something wrong with my game when I loaded it up.Quote:

Can't wait to play more. :)
After giving it enough time...
I'm playing a kill everything that moves combat specialist this time.
And its amazing how much quicker the game goes when you don't have to worry about sneaking around.
lol!Quote:

Yeah, if someone even looks at me the wrong way they get blasted.
The police station is going to be interesting. I wonder what David Sarif is going to say when I take out the entire cities police force.
He doesn't mind too much. :pQuote:

Just everyone standing around died. It was kind of boring running around, since there was no longer any ambient dialog.
