I just finished it a few hours ago, and I had a blast through and through, but it's not perfect. The most interesting aspects for me were the social interactions and the immersive world, followed by the stealth.
The only two major things I didn't like were the boss fights, which contradicted the "choice" factor the rest of the game had, and the "golden age" aesthetic which made exploring less mysterious.

I'm pretty meh about it. I guess that's what I get for basing expectations for a game on the hotness of the main character, which was really, really high in this case. So kind of screwed that one for myself. I've just been playing until it inevitably does something to piss me off, turning it off, and trying again the next day so far.
But I still can't actually dislike the game because of the aforementioned main character hotness. Seriously, Adam has no right to be that goddamn gorgeous. It's just criminal.

I was so worried this game would let me down, but it did not almost at all. The only disappointing thing in the game is the boss fights, but even with that I feel I might actually call this my favorite game ever, but that depends on the ending.
Based on the beta (picking up the real game later today, yay!!), use explosives. I went hacker/social, but I kept the 4 explosives charges (blue containers in the inventory)the game gives you at the start. If you hit him head on with all of those, you're just some bullets away from defeating him.CobraX said:
I've heard that you can chuckle explosive barrels at him that are spread in the area.CobraX said:
Also...wasn't there like...a rocketlauncher in the area just before the fight (in the area with the walking box mech...ground floor left side). At least...it was there in the leaked beta.
Just started a Deus Ex, non lethal playthough. So far I'm liking it - plenty of ways to go about your mission, and the game makes you stop, think and stratagize.
This is one of those games the next release should be just about perfect. Kinda like with ME1 and ME2, but then again some people didn't seem to like the second game all that much...=/
Near perfect in my book.

I love it so far. It's an excellent experience as well as a great game. I've had to play in chunks because of work, but it has me hooked. Certainly good enough for three more playthroughs before Gears, and that's saying something coming from me.
Im so glad I gave this game a chance, It was more fun to me than Mass Effect, and the sci-fi was cooler because it could happen. I hope this game gets the recognition it deserves.
Very fun.
Very fun.
As it stands, its GotY for me.
Skyrim is really the only game left that can stand a chance at topping this, and frankly - for amazing as it will be - its not going to have this deep philosophical question backing it.
The Witcher 2 was utterly fantastic, but Deus Ex: Human Revolution is just that 'something special' that one comes around every few years.
Feels good to be playing a _real_ game, after all these years of suffering the ADHD-inspired trash.

i'm loving it...
my main concern was the ole' loading times chestnut, but it's already been patched to dramatically improve them, so hey... super dooper!
(as it stands my only real complaint is that a pacifist run is again, sadly, impossible, given the inevitable death/fire fight against barrett and whatever else i'm not up to yet, (and forced combat was, from memory, the downfall of the pacifist run in alpha protocol). still, i suppose the original deus ex didn't really have a pacifist run either, given that you have to redirect that nuke, rather than just abort the countdown... so i'm not that bothered)
