Purkake Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 IIRC, in DX1 the level of tech for JC and the earlier prototypes was about the same without the added ugly prosthesis. Plus there are obvious issues with DX3 tech, evident by the fact that Jensen can't hold a glass without breaking it. Aww, he just wants to feel again. "I shoot/stab/slice people, because it's the only thing that makes me feel alive." Drama confirmed. Seems more deep than that, regarding the Icarus dream and his past I say that losing his arms wasn't his choice. He sort of looks like the person with a defining moment in his past, Noire style. I hope so, because video games and cliches go together like gin and tonic.
Slowtrain Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I hope so, because video games and cliches go together like gin and tonic. lol. awesome. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
HoonDing Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 "I shoot/stab/slice people, because it's the only thing that makes me feel alive." That isn't an actual in-game line, is it? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Hey, it might be. I really hope they go more in the transhumanism and society way instead of trying to make yet another "character driven" plot where you have to decide whether you are human and love butterflies and puppies or a machine and only live for blood and the Emperor. What would the world be like if everyone had awesome robot hands and couldn't hold a glass without breaking it? Edited December 9, 2010 by Purkake
Tale Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 We'd have thicker glasses. Or all switch to cheap plastic cups that bend. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
HoonDing Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I see what you did there. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Malcador Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 We'd have thicker glasses. Or all switch to cheap plastic cups that bend. The CamelBak folk will make a killing. The, uh, transhumanist stuff in the game should be pretty amusing. Why has elegance found so little following?

Purkake Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Yeah, bro, I hear it's like that Icarus myth. Man will, like, try to play god and then learn a valuable lesson for the future.
Tale Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Someone seems bitter. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
HoonDing Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Come to think of it, Oni already pulled off the 'transhumanism' and oppressive society/La femme Nikita shtick one or two years before DX came into existence. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Malcador Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) Yeah, bro, I hear it's like that Icarus myth. Man will, like, try to play god and then learn a valuable lesson for the future. That's some deep symbology, man. Maybe Jensen's last line will be "Welcome to the human race". Funnily enough, I must be dull as all I took from the Icarus story was "RTFM".

entrerix Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) its not exactly a new idea, its been kicking around since that icarus myth... oops: this was in response to virumors last bit Edited December 9, 2010 by entrerix 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.
Tale Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Someone seems bitter. Just trying to fit in. Just be yourself. We'll love you either way. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Slowtrain Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Didn't the shifter mod for DX give Gunther an actual skull gun? awesome. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names.

Purkake Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 What's wrong with being bitter? It makes you all grumpy, boring and unable to enjoy things just for the sake of it.
Tale Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 What's wrong with being bitter? It makes your face all scrunch up. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Majek Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Didn't the shifter mod for DX give Gunther an actual skull gun? awesome. He was a fun boss after that yes. 1.13 killed off Ja2.
Orogun01 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 What's wrong with being bitter? It makes your face all scrunch up. Like this? Actually i'm so sour that biting a lemon doesn't affect me anymore, have a permanent frown formed in my skull lines. I if you keep at for 18 years you also will get one. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
HoonDing Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 I really shouldn't have googled this. Who thought this was a good idea? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Maria Caliban Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) I'm not sure that's an offical piece. Looks like fan art. Here is the trailer. That image might be from the beginning, but it flashes by quickly. Edited December 10, 2010 by Maria Caliban "When is this out.
