First Opinions on Deus Ex: Human Revolution


This game is years old, it was a game that many people were worried on wheter or not it would become an Invisible War fiasco.
It was going to be a prequel; JC Denton wasn't going to be in the game; The world of this game was too evolved to be considered a Deus Ex sequel (The guy has detachable for his eyes, what the fuck was up with the scientists' minds when they come up with that, especially since it looks like there is no Fucking Sun in this planet earth) and fans were cautious about the hype they were trying to hold.
Currently I'm in the china level of the game which is like not so much in the beginning but far from the end?

Well, first complain is the AI of the game; There were some parts where I was on high alert and I could just escape from them by entering a room at my side and crouch, I'm not making this up; And sometimes, when I was on said High Alert and the enemies were trying to find me, I used to go back to a specific room that I went before entering the area full of enemies, hide behind some boxes and they would try to enter the area but instead they had this pretend walking animation and they didn't enter where I was at, like if there was an invisible wall or something.
My other complain is the graphics; It's not that bad but compared to other games by the Square-Enix/Eidos movement, it just plain sucks, sometimes the people look like they have hamburgers for faces or they just look like a bunch of ugly shits.
Many people complain about the boss fights, seeing I've never played the original Deus Ex, I can't say a thing.

But before you judge this as a bad game, well you're wrong; The gameplay is great, it perfectly blends the FPS Elements with the stealth mechanics, with Adam Jensen having a lot of ways to kill his prey.
The Augmentations system is very useful and provides the game's uniqueness with it's RPG elements, each of them feel different and they can cause changes in your takedowns, in your appearence and even give you abilities like cloaking and seeing enemies through walls.
Like the devs say, the gameplay is all about the pillars of Stealth, Hacking, Social and Combat; The social pillar is what makes this game great (Sure, many characters have no personality whatsoever and Jensen has the personality of a plank, but let me continue), the way Jensen interacts with different characters and the outcomes that they give to you plays a nice role into the gameplay and the personality of your character, it's like Mass Effect's interactions only deeper and more meaningful, offering even an ability to look more deeper into the characters emotions to convince them to do certain acts.

There isn't just branches for conversations but like Dishonored, a game by Bethseda, it offers a lot in terms of finding paths; Will you take the elevator? , will you fist your enemy to death? , Will you not fist him to death? , Shall you violently grab Malik's boobs? ; These are questions that Deus Ex: Human Revolution offers you (Ok, maybe not the last bit); I loved this feature and this interested me into buying the first game and maybe the upcoming Director's Cut for Wii U.
Now to the story; It's very complex and even the tiny bits of the newspapers around the game and even the people you encounter, gives you a whole different perspective in the world, the humans are evolving but this evolution also causes decaying as in majority of the parts in the Open World, you'll find yourself interacting with Revolution hipsters and Hobos; And this is the touch Deus Ex gives, it might be a criticism of the world nowadays, making us look that sometimes, evolution comes with a cost and it's expensive (Like the Console Wars, in fact, imagine if the console wars become like Deus Ex, with Gaming companies having world wars and gamers becoming hobos because of high prices; And instead of security cameras, the city will be occupied with EVIL KINECTS *dun dun dun*).

For my first opinions, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is an interesting experience but the AI holds back, if they fix this and the annoying recharge system, I will thankfully give this game an 8.2/10
