Mr. GOH!

I have a chipped debit card that my pharmacy's card readers force me to swipe

It was rushed, sadly. It has a very long post-release history of fan patches and mods that make it a lot better. Wish we could get a similar RPG these days, since games like Deus Ex don't really let you define your character as much.

For some reason I cannot quite put my finger on, this game reminds me s much of Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines as other Deus Ex games.

I'm a decent bit into the game, and I just want to comment on quest structure. Loving the game.

I wonder if the inability to keep your game saves if you reinstall is somehow related to the weird single-use DLC system. It's a deeply stupid restriction.

Dragon Age 2 should be lower, if anything. People who liked DA2 are just wrong.

Oh, yeah, Give Me Deus Ex is not really all that difficult at all. From everything I read, the game is super easy on the lower settings.

I've not had any bugs so far, but you guys have played way more than I have by now. I don't have the time and patience to go for a pure stealth run, though I do try to stay stealthy and I actually do reload when I'm spotted many times.

I am so happy my strategy of "stealth until detected; then everyone's getting punched" still works!

Maybe? It does feel like my old strategies for hacking no longer work. I might just not know to look for firewalls and other stuff. My hackign stealth is maxed, too. Just have to upgrade fortify. Yeah, the platforming is typical Deus Ex jank, but I'm okay with it.

I think most of us are Trumped out.

You know it's for the gullible because it includes commemorative coins.

I will crack you yet, Palisade! Biggest Deus Ex honeypot ever. Edit: Adam Jensen, breaking into a high-end property bank while putting off reporting to his job with an elite INTERPOL* law enforcement task force. Turns out I need a better infiltration build to crack Palisade. Should not have put the huge number(like 12 or 15 or something crazy) of initial Praxis kits all into hacking. It was also cruel that the game had me upgrade one of the new augs but then take away those points. I didn't realize I no longer had remote hacking installed until much too late. The single player one-time DLC kits are super dumb and annoying, but not as dumb and annoying as the stupid breach items in the single player game. I want my SP and dumb tacked-on MP as separate as can be; preferably with separate .exes, as God intended. It is also confusing that the 'storage' tab in inventory is actually how you access DLC items, some of which are single-use, and others that you can use every playthrough. Full disclosure: I wasted the extra Praxis on unlocking the useless-so-far rebreather aug. Pro-tip: get the "lift big items," Icarus landing, and hacking augs first for maximum infiltration. Speaking of hacking, I get the feeling that the detection percentages way underestimate the real detection chances. There have been a couple boards on which 0% detection chance files consistently trigger the trace, and others in which the 15% detection chance rating feels more like 80%. I also feel like hacking has been balanced so it's harder to get extra items and money, which I am totally cool with. I am amused that multitools are back, but they do feel like cheating. At least they make more sense than the stupid hacking grenades from HR. So far, the sidequests and open-world exploration feel far better designed than they have in any previous Deus Ex game. At least reading the terminals has forced my Jensen to confront the fact that he is a thieving monster who does not hesitate to steal from orphaned refugees' hidden lockboxes. *Interpol does not work the way it is portrayed in most popular media and it bugs the hell out of me. It doesn't have its own agents who investigate crimes; it's an organization to help police organizations in different countries coordinate with each other. It's an information-sharing group, not some sort of independent agency with supranational law enforcement authority.

Anyone should feel free to watch my broadcasts. I think I'm always broadcasting when I'm in-game. Yeah, I'm happy with the Prague hub's size and the variety of breaking and entering I can engage in. I like the idea of a future in which ebooks, credit chips, and pocket secretaries are all separate and discrete devices. It's a world with hyperfuturistic human augmentation but no smartphones.

No, I just wanted to jump on your or FLDs stream to have on in the background while I did a little housework. No big deal. I didn't know whether you guys had it set up or not.

I did it by charging ahead and using a lot of the punch Aug. I am very violent, but I do not kill. I unplugged the chopper's battery very quickly, too. I am playing on give me deus ex because reviews have called the game kinda way. I love this game so far. Feels like Deus Ex. Also, it looks so much prettier than Human Revolution. Runs fine on high with a few settings bumped up to very high on my 970.

Took the day off work for this. I should just not preload ever again. Unencrypting the preload takes way more time than downloading and installing the game itself.

There are posters up for this at the multiplexes I go to. I think the new trailer will drop in September or October after the August movie-going lull and when new TV seasons begin in the U.S.

Fair enough. I thought Valve might charge more for staggered region specific releases.

Yeah, I know. I think it's a combo of bullshit and Valve being slightly lazy when it comes to unlocking preorders.

Put them in the shower after you're done. That always worked with my disgusting roommates.

Nowadays many Steam releases are not staggered for whatever dumb reason. That is, there is a single unlock time worldwide that ends up being late release day for many folks.

Because my wife was away this weekend, I sat around eating junk food and watching terrible movies. Gods of Egypt - joyless CGI fest. The first 15 minutes are delightfully insane, but the rest is boring. Could have been interesting with a different director, production company, cast, and a modified script. As it is, it is ugly, stupid, and boring. Suicide Squad - Why do people praise Margot Robbie? She's fine, though her accent is crazy uneven. Her character, like all of them, is very thin and poorly established. That the Joker is so terrible further weakens Harley. It's hard to care about any of the characters because their motivations are either cookie-cutter or non-existent. What the fuck is Enchantress's plan? Where are the A-level heroes during this massive metahuman attack? Why the fuck did anyone think the Joker would work as an underworld kingpin with dumb tats and an idiotic grille? Is El Diablo a god? Is Enchantress Zuul? ETA: Also saw the Warcraft movie, which is also really dumb. Why did Paula Patton kill Priest/Tony Stark's dad? Why is all the armor in Aazeroth made from cheap plastic and why is it painted to look like a children's toy? Why are the elves so stupid-looking? Why are only the humans fighting off a huge evil invasion from a parallel world? Why did Ben Foster randomly and stupidly turn evil? Why do all the characters have such stupid names? Why don't the people who find Durotan's baby immediately kill it since it's an evil invader from another dimension? It even hisses menacingly at the person who found it! I couldn't help but laugh every time an orc rode a horse; the orcs look like they weigh twice as much as a horse. Is Paula Patton half-human? We know she's (ugh ugh ugh ugh) half-orc(en so dumb), but where are the other half-orcs? What were those non-orcs at the beginning in orcworld? Warcraft was the best of the three, sadly.

I wonder how, exactly, they'll retcon the end-of-game choice in Human Revolution away. I guess that it will turn out all three buttons will blow up Panchea as well as send out a muddled message from Darrow, huh? I just don't know if my Jensen could deal with his choice of a fully augmented future being ripped away from him. And what the hell happens to the Eliza AI? Is she the same as DAEDELUS in Deus Ex? I did like that she was named 'Eliza' after the old chat program, though.
