Yeah the hacking mods were not so great. But faster sprint, higher jumping, being able to fall forever, more health, stable aiming etc were all useful in some way ^_^Conrad Wentzel said:
I chose the ending where:Adam Jensen said:
You destroyed Panchaea so how are you still alive...?
OT: The 25 years between Deus Ex: HR and Deus Ex provide ample time and opportunity to create more engaging stories. I would love to play a game where we see the world slowly transitioning from the mechanical to nano augmentations. As for protagonist, it'd be cool to play as an early Adam Jensen clone.
ugh, no no no no and no. HR is not a direct prequel to DX1, did you even play HR?.Ultratwinkie said:
I doubt we'll hear anything any-time soon as there are other projects that are being worked on. I really want the next one to be slightly more original instead of ripping-off it's predecessors.
Except Deus Ex has never been about the protagonist. Deus Ex is at it's best when it is exploring big ideas. The original explored the dangers of a centralized power, culling the working class, artificial intelligence and turning humans into commodities that can be upgraded or thrown out. All of this done in a brilliantly written setting with interesting supporting characters and at the expense of the main character who was mostly a blank slate that existed as a means to solve problems for others, little more than a tool that eventually gained enough free will to choose its owner.Goofguy said:
Human Revolution explored the effects of wealth disparity on opportunities, forced augmentation, discrimination, media control and of course trans-humanism. In this case your character was slightly more fleshed out, but most of the other major supporting characters lost some of their depth. On the plus side dialog battles were amazing.
Invisible War, despite being the worst game in the series was all about nature vs technology as well as control vs freedom. All of the endings where put into these context and even the coffee shops were used to illustrate this point.
So what grand questions would a new Deus Ex ask? There are a few out there, but unless it finds them and investigates them well the result will just be generic RPG-shooter hybrid rather than a true work of art like the original and Human Revolution.
I don't really want another Deus Ex. I'd love more games that are like Deus Ex, as in a shooter/RPG hybrid allowing for a wide variety of paths and playstyles, all wrapped in a dreary cyberpunk package. However, I think the Deus Ex storyline has been finished. Human Revolution shows us how it all starts, and Invisible War shows us how it all ends. I think a new universe, and a new technology to explore, is in order.
What I want in terms of gameplay is a little more RPG. The augmentations are mostly fun and useful, but it's way too easy to max out most of the best ones. I want the upgrade screen to determine my playstyle a little more. The difference between the pacifist and the sadist was only a few augs.
I think the weapons were done almost perfectly. In the beginning, they're all fairly effective at their base stats, so you get to try out a few, but as the game progresses and more upgrades get thrown your way, you're forced to focus on a specific set of weapons or else they all become worthless. And the mods were quite fun (exploding rounds, anyone?). Just make more of the weapons a valid choice, such as the machine pistol, which never really amounts to anything.
Less backtracking through hubs. Walking around Detroit and Lower Hengsha twice each gets tiresome. It would also be cool if the hubs weren't split up into multiple chunks, but I'm not sure how viable that is from a technological standpoint.
Though I'm sure Eidos has learned this lesson at this point, I feel the need to repeat it: don't outsource the bossfights. You've proven, with The Missing Link, that you can make a good boss fight, so just do it yourself next time.
The gold and black color palette, while awesome in its uniqueness and symbolic value, is an idea that needs revision. The same color palette for the whole game really grated on me. Perhaps apply different color palettes to each hub depending on that place's specific issues, with one or more that permeate the entire game to represent the overarching conflict?

A non anti-climactic ending (really, that ending was pretty mediocre compared to the potential it had) Better boss fights, and a protagonist with more emotion then a spoonful of sawdust.
But in all honesty if they can't reach the standard of the first game, let alone surpass it, then just let it be, HR was good enough to be a last installment, even if only to ease the pain of invisible war.
