Purkake Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Well, he's obviously grumpy when he says "I never asked for this". Do we actually know more about his character? I'm basing this just on the trailers. Edited December 13, 2010 by Purkake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell Kitty Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Well, he's obviously grumpy when he says "I never asked for this". Wait, do you really thing he's obviously grumpy, or are you just joking around again like when you said he was a downer? It's hard to keep up. The line exists to give viewers the information that Jensen was made a cyborg against his will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Well, he's obviously grumpy when he says "I never asked for this". Do we actually know more about his character? I'm basing this just on the trailers. You know his wife/girlfriend got (probably) killed, right? Losing his arms isn't the real drama, I think. If anything it's adding insult to injury. Consider that he's also been made a cyborg by what I assume is an evil corporation (it wouldn't be Deus Ex if he was hired by the good guys at first) and it sortof looks like he's wearing a weird company logo on his forehead, whatever that means. Maybe he wanted to stay dead after what happened to him. Maybe he was part of the anti-aug movement, I doubt he'd be overjoyed to be in the other camp all of a sudden. Or you know, maybe he just wants to be Batman. Edited December 13, 2010 by WILL THE ALMIGHTY "Alright, I've been thinking.

Purkake Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) He doesn't seem like a happy and well-adjusted individual to me. Have they said anything about a morality/reputation/"humanity" system? EDIT: Yeah, the trailer had a line about that as well. So it's about personal revenge then?

Honestly, it's near impossible to tell who this guy actually is or what his goals are without playing the actual game. I'm optimistic about this, the story seems a bit more adult than most games released recently. I can't explain why, it just seems more emotionally engaging. But hey, there's about an equal chance I'm completely wrong and it winds up being all Batman-angst. "Alright, I've been thinking.

TheHarlequin Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Ok simmer down folks... Here is a interesting article of the list of the 21 augs you can get done by PC gamer; http://www.pcgamer.com/2010/11/25/deus-ex-...-augs-analysed/ Very interesting to say the least.

Tigranes Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I think it's pretty funny how Purkake's "wake up you stupidheads" biting sarcasm has gone so far off the charts now it's as diluted as McDonalds sodas. However, you can't deny a man his dedication. Augs look pretty standard, there are a couple of cool things in there like using feather fall to slam down on someone. Certainly more games need to let you rain death from above.

Serrano Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Well, he's obviously grumpy when he says "I never asked for this".

I'm sure if the original "I vanted orrrange" line would have been used in a trailer, somebody here would have decided that the game was too emo. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep.

Saying otherwise is silly. Yes, but it's a pretty weak one, luckily it's a force of habit by now or I'd end up not bothering, heh. But that hardly qualifies as being emotionally engaged by a game, but I did say any so fair enough. In any event, if some dude's angst over losing his arms, identity or some other fanciful stuff does trigger a notable emotion, it'll be a surprise.

entrerix Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 i pity someone who doesn't ever connect emotionally with things that happen in video games. I can't imagine enjoying shadow of the colossus, for instance, if it didn't connect with my emotions, but that it did it so well is what makes it one of my favorite games of all time. oh well, my gain, malcadors loss. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
