September 11, 201114 yr yeah Goddamnit I've been on this forum for 5 years. Edited September 11, 201114 yr by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
September 11, 201114 yr Continue... Is this any good? IMO it's in the top 2-3 games since 2004-2005 (a strange time frame, I know, but that's around the time I got my first console and started gaming again after a break of a couple of years). You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
September 11, 201114 yr Author I read the review in PC Gamer magazine and they gave it a 90 something rating. Which is good since they're a picky bunch when it comes to games.

September 11, 201114 yr "Deeper relationship" doesn't have to mean they were sleeping together. She was on a first name basis with the man that as far as she knew murdered her former lover. Time to point the obvious but...the guy didn't have a ****. Edit:seriously, you can't say ****? what about ****? ReEdit: sigh, he didn't have a Richard. Edited September 11, 201114 yr by Orogun01 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.
September 11, 201114 yr I wondered about this too. Especially about the stories from the book with his wife 'n stuff. I doubt they are so much in love that they get along just as is. :> "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
September 11, 201114 yr Finished it last night, pretty good game. Didn't make it to my list of personal favorites, but I did enjoy it a lot at times. Only thing I was a bit disappointed was the music. It wasn't bad per se, but I can't remember a single tune from the game. Music is one of the biggest things that contributes to atmosphere for me, and this "minimalistic" style doesn't work much for me. Well, can't have it all. Cool game anyway.

Yeah, you have to remember that there's a 6 month break in the game. It matches the established psych profile for Megan very well, she's focused first and foremost on her work, which is why her relationship with Adam ended. (that matches a few female scientists I've known, btw...) She was initially forced to work there, but her interest for the work itself took over. She has to call the guy something etc. Sure, she's a cold bitch, but I think it's still a pretty human reaction to the situation. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

September 11, 201114 yr Is this any good? It's pretty good, kind of tumbles its way down to decent halfway in. Is fun to sneak about, convenient vents leading you to your objectives are also handy. Real shame about the guards' narrow field of vision though Edited September 11, 201114 yr by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following?

September 11, 201114 yr Just got to the second hub, having a lot of fun but nothing that makes me think 'whoa awesomeness' yet. The conversation system seems like a good idea but pretty basic and too dependent on the UI information, for example, and I'm not quite sure how open some of the levels are, though I imagine that's because I haven't explored near enough. Story seems OK so far except for the silly boss fight.

But why didn't you play the game in "Give Me Deus Ex" on your first playthrough like all the cool kids?

September 11, 201114 yr Theres no third person view in DX3, right? I wish I could use it when not in combat... I kind of like the cover system here, though. Not sure why, but despite similarities, I never used it in AP, but use it quite a lot here. I suppose it's that lack of third person view.

September 12, 201114 yr Wait, why does one need to be young to play on 'Give me Deus Ex' level ? Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
September 12, 201114 yr I don't find the game much harder on Deus Ex level. You die faster, but to prevent this, you just have to remain more in cover. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
