Deus Ex Human Revolution: Are you all too busy playing it to post about it?

[Ashpool]

I beat it. Sweet, totally gonna play it again. But without spoiling too much there definitely is a "bad ending" if you'd ask me.

Now that I know how to properly handle the boss battles I'll be a bit more prepared. Some were just #@!$$#^%#^@ >:[

Anybody playing on PC with a gamepad? How is it?

Just wondering how "console-ized" the game is.

Don't worry about hanging on to big guns only for boss fights, every single one has either guns in the same room you fight them in or right before you start the cut scene.

Though if I had to pick one the Heavy Rifle has been particularly helpful.

Dunno, I've never used iron sights after I got the laser pointer.

I'm almost done with the game (95%, yes I looked ) and there are some more augs that have definitely been beneficial:

- Dermal Armor, after it's fully buffed you can withstand two grenades back-to-back. Unlike DX1 it's always on
- Anti-Concussion eye aug (again, whatever it's called) is exceptionally handy later on. Often the bad guys carry them and especially the later boss battles.
- Hacking: Capture, if you happen to like hacking. Modifying turrets and robots is soooooo handy later on.
- Inventory Increases. Duh.
- Stealth Enhancer: Vision Cones. Seriously useful, makes sneaking around a ton easier. I wish the other DXs had this.

Augs that have been pretty useless:
- Hacking: Fortify. I instead buffed Hacking: Stealth so I can get closer to the target(s). I used fortify once or twice but it wasn't worth it.
- Cloaking: good to throw off enemies that are gunning at you but it's just way too expensive on power to be any use. 7 seconds per energy cell at best?? Jesus.
- Stealth Enhancer: Sound Gauge. If you're sneaking around you're already walking or crouching. Wish this thing wasn't
- Aim Stabilizer. This game is extremely dependent on cover, I rarely if ever run-and-gun'd it.

Who knows how far through the game I am (I have a feeling I'm approaching the lady who turned stealth in the very beginning of the game... I'm trying to find Eliza) but I'm definitely switching up my Praxis buys from your advice. Wish I would not have chosen Fortify (ugh... twice lol). I upgraded cloaking once and it has helped get me out of some jams when I had no other option. The sound gauge is kind of lame. The only thing I've noticed it projects is a circle from your triangle symbolizing your position on that map that expands and shrinks in diameter based on the noise you are making. On that note I wish the map was a little bigger sometimes I have trouble telling which direction people are looking even with the cones enabled. Dermal armor is next on the list !

the reason i want to keep 1 or 2 big guns is cause i dont want to waste all my upgrades... i have a whole stack of upgrades that i want to dump on my best weapon

I used remote det pack for the first boss fight (the only lethal weapon I had in my inventory) and a souped up combat rifle for the second and third. I used the tranq rifle for the last one.

I found enough upgrades to max out the combat rifle and the 10mm pistol since the "no kill" guns aren't compatible with the majority of them.

also does the laser sight have no effect when using the iron sights?

No idea, sorry.

You'll be fine with a combat rifle, the crossbow is excellent too. I've done my pacifist run already on 'Give Me Deus Ex'. I wouldn't recommend the heavy rifle, I didn't have enough inventory space on it as I decided to prioritise my stealth skillset on the second way through.

i have a well upgraded 10mm pistol and combat rifle for my no kill stealth run and ive maxed out the following augs: hacking stealth, lvl5, icarus landing, high jump, punch walls, lift heavy.. so i have been able to have access to pretty much the whole map by early hengsha. havent touched any of the armor or combat upgrades.

i have a pretty broken way of dealing with multiple baddies... just shoot a silenced 10mm round near one of the baddies and keep doing so while luring him away from the group, then do a takedown when hes alone... rinse and repeat. no need for the reflex booster

also, i have a tendency to explore the whole city hub before i start on the main quest. but i might have to stop doing that because i find that alot of areas are closed off (ie the door is not even openable) until you trigger a main story quest and you do alot of backtracking to find the sidequests

I do something similar. I'll try to find an object I can throw to get their attention and then hide behind the wall until they cross my path and then take them down. However in certain situations where there are groups, or they don't go on patrol/move their position, the PEPS has come in very handy and so has the stun move from the Icarus landing. Reflex booster just makes you feel so badass, especially when you have two fools standing with their backs to you. The game constantly makes you feel LIKE A BOSS.

I just picked this up today on my lunch-break.

So one question, whats keeping me from going all out gung-ho merc my first play through?

Its not my usual first play through play style (stealth assassin is my usual gig), but I have to ask how much do you miss when playing that way?

I'll let you know after I beat it with the stealth playthrough !

[kpxgq]

just finished the game with my stealth no kill run (was almost damn near impossible at some parts like protecting maliks plane)... used a ton of gas grenades on the last level. ending was great

i am probably going to lay through again and do a full out assault run and max out the plasma rifle!

[Wurm]

Grrrrr I wish I had of known that the German store copy doesn't have the English language file included. Or I wouldn't have bought it.

I found bigfile_English.000 to download could someone check their install and see if they have that file and if its 833 MB in size?

What the heck is wrong with EIDOS?

[Wurm]

Thanks for the quick help * <--- insert digitus medius picture here.

But its OK the file worked and I'm now playing in English.
