Forgot to make this thread.

So this is basically HR+. It's mostly the exact same game. Mechanically it's identical and it feels old. Shooting is not good, the sound effects are terrible and the impact feels weak, I feel like I am firing a pea shooter. Animations are poor. You get those cutscenes every time you do a takedown. It just doesn't flow well.

But you don't play Deus Ex for combat you play to explore and find interesting ways to get through quests. I did that all yesterday and was having fun. It's classic Deus ex. I guess HR was so wow because it was the original brought to modern times, but now it's just like, ok, it's the same.

Kind of let down to be honest. The year of disappointments continue.

I'm kind of disappointed to hear that there are no boss fights in this as I really enjoy boss fights in my games.

You're missing the experience if you don't play this game wearing sunglasses.

I know I only played one game this year and it was released last year.

I plan to play some games while on my vacation. On the way to and from the beach. I need to get a larger SD card and transfer my profile from one 3DS to the other.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)

Human Revolution was an incredible game, so why is more of that a bad thing? What exactly did you want them to do with it?

For it to feel like a more modern shooter. I guess it's the MGSV effect, it raised the bar for all stealth action games. When I shoot this feels like crap. Graphically it's also whatever. It's just a really safe sequel. I want an Ac1 to AC2 jump, not a super safe sequel that is just the same thing.

So all I have been doing is exploring the city and its so good. It is so dense with things to discover everywhere. So many ways to tackle any one objective. Great side stores. It's classic Deus Ex. So the game is still great because of its level design.

I know what your problem is Dvader. The game is set in the Czech Republic, & you're racist against Czechs!

Didn't really have an issue with the shooting itself in HR, I accepted what they did with the ballistics, it was more so the stiff nature of how the movement worked while cover shooting. Otherwise rifles packed a good punch, enemies dropped to head shots, and even on hard mode you could go ham wrecking fools with the Shotgun. Will get around to this game later. First up on deck is glorious Metroid Prime.

Game looks & plays great to me. I've barely done any main missions just exploring the world. If you go back and play HR then play this, its a pretty big difference.

I'm stuck at home with in laws everywhere.  I really want to play this at the moment but can't.  It's like a personal hell.
