It's the first thing I've ever pre-ordered, so I'm glad it's apparently going to pay off. I'll need to pick up the first one after this, and pray that my netbook can handle it. They should remaster it with a new engine if Human Revolutions sells well.

I played the leak for 10 hours in multiple styles.
Health regenerates so slow that it is not reliable, ontop of that enemies would hit and scratch you even behind chesthigh walls so if youre planning on running and gunning you still have to be efficient and retreat and pick fights.
Wallhugging replaced the god awful leaning system that was thankfully taken out back and shot.
No quicktime events in the leak. Havent seen any in trailers. Whatchutalkinbout?
Looooooots of map exploration in the end half of the leak, so about... 2 to 3 hours in the maps are pretty big.
First time I played the game I killed 1 person (The boss, we ll get to that) outside of the mooks you are required to kill in the opening tutorial.
How do I reply to concerns about the conspiracy. Assuming you have not played the leak, all you really know is that synthetic limbs have varying veiws on them. Its not really much different than the start of DE1. Terrorists have blown up the statue of liberty! Go solve the problem! It took a few plot points before the interesting stuff happened. Which we ll be able to see how the familiar organizations got started.
Ill say again. The leak was really good, the only problem I had with it was the boss fight and a little bit of confusion with how the conversation gameplay worked. But thats been mentioned. Aside from that the gameplay feels similiar to the original. Heres a map, there are guards here. Do what you will, learn the patrols and sneak past? Murder everyone?
Preordered as soon as available, and then got one free.Its like they knew!
Meh, by modern generation standards 89 isn't actually that good. There are probably at least 15 games that have been released this year that have gotten better scores. And LA FUCKING NOIRE got an 89, so that pretty much sums up how special the score is.
not gonna lie, so far the game is bitchin, lovin every second of it.
the controls are a little goofy..
as i'm still stuck in Mass effect/Gears of war mode, but im getting used to it a bit better..

It was made by Eidos. It's been in-the-making by Eidos since well before Square acquired them. Square's the publisher, not the developer. Same thing with Batman: Arkham Asylum and Just Cause 2.[/quote]Bajinga said:
Ah yes, it was published by them.
I just don't understand why Edios had to pick Square Enix (apart from the fact that they've been together for a while now); I might have thought about buying it, if it had been another publishers name on the box.
You can turn off the orange borders? Well, that's a plus!poiumty said:
While I do hate the publisher, I don't necesarily hate the game. I said that the level design and gameplay wasn't too good, the rest of the game looks pretty good. I can completely understand why anyone would love this game to pieces.
Because Square Enix bought them two years ago. Why would Square let them go to another publisher when they own them and can do it themselves?Bajinga said:
The only right they had at this point was to keep the Eidos name on the game(which I didn't really pay attention to see if they even did) because it was in development before they got bought out as you said.
TL;DR - I'm going to buy the game. Make no mistake on that when you read this. I will most likely enjoy the experience too, it is after all a game designed to appeal to the majority market. *sigh*
I know that the health regeneration is slow, but I didn't want it there to begin with. And I still want the individual limb health system.
I liked leaning too. There was nothing wrong with that system - even though it took extra key-input to use it. It allowed me to observe the surrounding area while still in glorious immersive First Person View.
I also don't like the whole, press to hug wall, press to jump to the next wall to hug, press to vault over to the next wall you can hug, press to stop hugging. It's like they think I'm too stupid to navigate from cover to cover without them creating a system that does it for me. That is a reason why I can't play Splinter Cell Conviction; I hated the press to jump from cover-to-cover.
I don't know why I wrote quick time event. I meant to address the press-to-kill/K.O. function they've introduced. I guess that kind of counts as a QTE though since it needs to be executed before the enemy turns around and spots you/makes you dead. Why do I need a one-press take-down? There was nothing wrong with the previous take-downs that just needed you to attack normally from behind or if you were high level low-tech or had maxed strength in Invisible War.
Besides, the take-downs I've seen in the previews - even the non-lethal ones are way to dynamic to be discreet. It was embarrassing to watch a guard with his back turned not react to the noise of his colleague getting the shit beaten out of him just 3 meters behind him. Especially when one considers that Adam's arms are made out of metal, and therefore would make quite a lot of noise when smashing skulls. In spite of all this, somehow he still manages to keep a low profile.
I don't like these cinematic actions. At all. They do nothing for gameplay but take it away from me for a few seconds and then I'm allowed to play again. Much appreciated Eidios! Next time stop trying to be like everybody else!
From what I've picked up from earlier posts by the developers they announced that they would try to downsize map exploration for a more streamed experience. If that's no longer the case I will be a very happy kitten while I play it.
I did not play the leak, nor have I played any demos. I don't actually know if there is one available, since I haven't checked. So yeah, I'm jealous.

Although, according to the uploader this scenario only happened because he cheated to get an augmentation for double take-down early.

I seem to remember the first level beign fairly tough. Being pit against an armed security bot in the first area? Madness! Especially seeing that I chose not to opt for the GEP Gun.trollpwner said:
Anyway, I must say I am pleasantly surprised this game has being getting such good reviews. I remained sceptical about Human Revolution for a good while. Ultimate judgement will of course be reserved for when I actually play it.
Ah, probably forgot about them, been a while since I've played the first DX. Although I don't think I ever got myself in such a bad state in that game as the time both my legs took 100% damage and I basically had to drag Denton around in that state for the remainder of the level. No medkits, cells or energy you see. Tough times....trollpwner said:
