Flouride Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Finished DX:HR yesterday. Will do a second playthrough later. Dusted off my WII and currently on Xenoblade and its a blast. How long is it? ~24 That said it was on tell me a story and I didn't do everything. Okay, thanks. Hate the living, love the dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmp10 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Done with Bastion. It was great. Hopefully someone will pay attention to how they handled the narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greylord Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I just started the Force Unleashed...and...there you go...it's already finished. That was quick. It was frustrating too...I think the Star Destroyer was excessively frustrating "You gotta bring it down boy!" constantly...took me a couple of hours to finally get it down...I think the indicators of what you are supposed to do are off a little and telling you misniformation. Beat it despite that...but that Star Destroyer part was very frustrating. They say tfu 2 is even shorter...that'll take me all of 2 hours then... I actually really enjoyed TFU, I think it did take me around 10 hours...and I think it was worth the money, but I bet some people were really upset with how short it was...especially since there was no MP...at least with the core version (I haven't gotten any DLC for it, though I hear the DLC has some fun missions, I also hear they are also even shorter missions than what came with the game). I'm thinking of playing Agarest War: Generations of War and Agarest Zero next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Tropico 3 is a fun diversion, seems it's hard for me to lose though, hm. Was interested in the 4th installment, but apparently it's just 3.11. Why has elegance found so little following?

Rostere Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I just discovered Deus Ex 3 was well worth waiting for. Oh well, that means back to waiting for Thief 4. "Well, overkill is my middle name.

MechanicalLemon Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Playing Deus Ex for the first time. So, I had originally planned to do a stealth/non-lethal playthrough for the first few missions. I didn't kill anybody. After completing that warehouse mission right before Paul leaves, Anna Navarre says that she appreciated my enthusiasm for the slaughter in Battery Park. UNATCO soldiers are praising me for supposedly killing the NSF terrorists. WHAT?! /rage Now everyone thinks I'm a murderer. Despite this, I'm really enjoying it. For future reference, is Invisible War as bad as everyone says it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 No, Invisible War is a good game. It just didn't measure up to the original and had some questionable design decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell Kitty Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I tried the Space Marine demo. Tedious. Also the Bodycount demo. The environment was very destructible. I've forgotten everything else about it. Back to DX:HR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, I never kill anyone in the Battery Park anyway.. I just sneak past everything. /Edit: Or have you done something to make the guards outside to kill everyone in the inside? That counts for you too, if I remember correct. :> Edited August 29, 2011 by Lexx "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Wombat Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I just discovered Deus Ex 3 was well worth waiting for. Oh well, that means back to waiting for Thief 4.So little info yet. I was convinced that I'd end up with buying DXHR after gathering quite amount of info. Core i7 2600k, the Witcher, and DXHR...so far, my game-related shopping items this year seem to be good so far but it's mainly because the internet allowed me to gather info before buying them. I could even buy them with the order to fit my life schedule. Now about Thief 4, how much info do we have? Playing Deus Ex for the first time. So, I had originally planned to do a stealth/non-lethal playthrough for the first few missions. I didn't kill anybody. After completing that warehouse mission right before Paul leaves, Anna Navarre says that she appreciated my enthusiasm for the slaughter in Battery Park. UNATCO soldiers are praising me for supposedly killing the NSF terrorists. WHAT?! /rage You were probably glitched...in my play-through of the first mission, Prichard greeted me with his usual sardonic comments while Malik didn't even refrain herself from showing her respect , which was a nice welcome to the game world, letting me to experiencing it through the variety of characters reacting to my choices. Quite balanced casts, too. Now everyone thinks I'm a murderer. Despite this, I'm really enjoying it. For future reference, is Invisible War as bad as everyone says it is?Agree with Hurlshot, here. Especially in terms of narrative, I've gotten an impression that it ended up with an experiment rather than a complete work. Eurogamer interviewed with Pacotti (funcroc did his job), who looked back more or less similar manner. Some interesting ideas are scattered around but there is no way for the players to gather them into a coherent experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majek Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Erm Wombat , MechLemon is talking about the original Deus Ex in your second quote. And yes Lexx, you have to be careful that the guards outside don't rush in and kill everyone. I believe you get scolded by Anna immediately if things go right and no one dies. Also i think you have to go back out the way you came in, through the secret passage. 1.13 killed off Ja2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Been replaying DX as well, is funny how when I say on vent that I'm playing 'Deus Ex' they mistake which game I'm actually playing.

Tale Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I've been playing REDACTED and DX:HR. Beat the second boss last night. Definitely gives it a MGS vibe, but it could have done without them.

If the NSF troops in the courtyard see you, the UNATCO troops rush in. I had to go an check. Anyway good man. Ever since i know i can kill her there i always do. It was only twice that i remember that i didn't. The first time i played and some other time when i wanted to tryout the kill word. edit: I've tried Bastion demo. Still not convinced.

mkreku Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Tried installing the original Deus Ex on my netbook the other day.. It is a tiny computer with a high resolution screen (1366x768) and since the wrong resolution on a flatscreen looks.. weird, I tried playing it in the native resolution. Imagine my surprise when it worked! Everything on max, full resolution and my tiny computer feeds me 30 fps! I am impressed. It's an Asus EEE 1215N. I can't believe it's almost a year old already. Feels like I bought it last week. (Btw, that review mentions that the computer doesn't have Bluetooth or USB3. It has both..) Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
