Deus Ex: Human Revolution hits Europe – all the scores

Well, that’s both a relief and a surprise! I started off thinking this looked great, then after a number of fairly lacklustre previews I got a bit worried about it. But for naught! It’s ace! Hurrah!

I shall put it on ‘the list’.

Yay! Preordered it long ago, after I saw the first ghost in the shell/Bladerunner style screenshots…. Friday cant come soon enough!

Ign says meticulous players will spend about 40-45 hrs per playthrough!

Meticulous players could just be another word for achievement whores though. Still, between 20 and 30 is a great length for a game.

I hate the fact that I have to wait three days to see for myself

GameSpot 8.5 http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/deus-ex-human-revolution/index.html?tag=result%3Btitle%3B0 .

Mine is getting shipped tomorrow. I wanted a boxed copy of the Augmented Edition for PC. Sadly this means I likely won’t have it until Monday next week, at the earliest.

This is the PC game has to be!

And by seeing this, we all will realize how much console (joining with mega corporate game publisher esp) has ruined our mindful hobbies into mindless shoot fest (regarding to this http://futurismic.com/2011/08/17/infamous-2-mindless-fun-and-the-basis-of-aesthetic-judgement/ )!

After playing this, do you still want to get back to those mindless shooter everyone?? Instead, play those 1st deus ex,thief or STALKER if you want more of it!

Now, waiting for the 1st Deus Ex remake (Halo got it after 10 years,so why this masterpiece not?)

@58 Please crawl back to your basement with your fanboy rubbish. Thanks.

Consoles are no more responsible for this than dime-a-dozen cell phone games or Facebook games are.

@59
Sorry,but I just want to show that actually console also capable to give us this kind of game (mindful game) like PC does! But,sadly thats not the case. In fact they’ve ruined many games IP (Crysis 2, next hitman maybe) into unnecessary mindless game that sometimes feels disconnected with its predecessor only to chase the other publisher success (you know who)!

I’m pretty sure core console gamer (when I said “console” previously, it’s nothing to do with “console gamer” like you or every other gamer) also wants something as rich as DX: HR today!

@60 nobody cares. Except maybe the resident idiot.

@60 That is not the fault of the consoles. That’s the fault of the developers.

PC gaming is full of just as much mindless entertainment. This is not a console-exclusive problem.

We’re at least both in agreement that consoles are capable of providing mindful entertainment, but to put the blame on consoles alone is ignoring mountains of proof that says otherwise. Just look at Facebook games.

Games are being simplified even on the PC, and not just for consoles.

@ 62

Yeah, that’s bother me too! I hope that this game will get the success it’s deserved, both in console and PC, so that publisher and developer wouldn’t mind to spend its money for more game like this!

Regarding to FB, at least their game are not intended to played by core gamer like most of us here (so that we can avoid them)! Although, their succes also give bad influences towards publisher/developer decision by thinking that we also want that kind of game !

Get to play this game and not pay a single cent for it. No I am not talking about pirating, talking about the next option Gamefly. Oh yeah. No breaking the bank and I get to see if this game fits the Deus Ex “style” like the developers claim.

@64
You read like an advertisement.

Just pumped that I get a game that releases tomorrow in the mail and get to play it while only paying 15$ a month for the subscription.

Still can’t get excited for it.

@66
This seems like one of those games that a person should own though… I’m certain it’ll be as memorable as the first Deus Ex.

@67
Sarcasm, I hope!?!?!

@68

Not for me it isn’t I don’t like the art style, VA and stiff animation and thats why I passed on it, putting my money towards Skyrim and Rage instead.

Plus Gamefly allows me to play for however long I like, so if its as good as everyone claims I can still enjoy it without buying.

@69
What’s VA?

But you’re honestly judging this on graphics? This isn’t the sort of game to play for the graphics – it’s really about the atmosphere and story. I suppose the stylistic art style isn’t for everyone either… but I think it works great.

For anyone who played it for PC and still curious how it will looks like check it here http://hardocp.com/article/2011/08/22/deus_ex_human_revolution_performance_preview

From this article, we knew that this game brings a lot of change from technical point of view.

First is shader based Anti Alias with FXAA and MLAA usage(magically, both is works fine at AMD and NVIDIA card) instead of performance hungry traditional AA like MSAA and SSAA.

The other things is more advanced DX11 tesselation on every polygon with minimal performance hit also occur in this game and finally, we can actually see the differences between DX11 and DX9 looks like!

Minimal performance hit means it wont ruin your gameplay like crysis 2 DX 11 patch already did!

This game is trully become the milestone for the future of gaming,both technically and gameplay side!

“… and (on console at least) the load times are horribly long.” (Eurogamer)

Bummer!

I remember DX2 (invisible Wars) having extremly long load times as well, and this made me stop playing the game half way through.

The first game’s load times and file sizes were an abomination. In fact, apart from the fact that the first game was one of the best games ever made, it actually had a lot of glitches and problems with it.

Still, it’s being shipped to me even as we speak. Yay!!! Should get it bang on Friday night. Shame I have a killer day’s work on Saturday followed by over time on Sunday morning too. x.x

Just played for a couple if hours, the game is deserving of it’s scores .
