Deus Ex: HR spoiler-wary people stay out

New interview
TL;DR: They're fans of the original who want to respect it, while bringing something new to the table.
(Seriously, that's mentioned at least three times in a two page interview.)
Because this was news to me. IT also strikes me as a terrible descriptor of the game.
Hmm, probably why I've never bothered to read that site.
Reaching Master in a weapon skill will make you a god with that weapon if you're going the combat path. Computers is also very useful. Electronics and Lockpicking are only so-so; there's plenty of multitools and lockpicks around, so I usually just take one rank in each of them and call it good.

For what its worth, the general consensus on what is easiest to get as a new player is Lockpicking and Electronics to Advanced, Rifle to Master (that covers the assault and sniper rifles), Computer to Advanced (allowing you to hack turrets), and then with any other points left over, either max Lockpicking and Electronics or if you'd prefer an extra weapon option, Pistols. I usually also nab one level in Swimming. The difference between Untrained and Trained is pretty high, costs only 675 SP and there are a couple of parts where you can't get through Untrained without a ton of rebreathers. There's always other paths you can take but I like coming up from water.
Grrk, I linked to it because RPS is so obviously the best in PC journalism that I thought they would be the best example. They're far from the only ones that use it, and the whole term was coined by Ion Storm Austin (the Deus Ex guys...) in the first place.
Is there any word on what this means? Personally, to me, that is not a good sign. I was hoping for a completely self-contained title, pure single-player, no need for some garish multiplayer and extras on the end of it.
Given the way other games go about it, I imagine we get some awful "SUPER DUPER STEALTH MEGA GUN!" with a one-time activation key, or some additional chapters added after release. The latter meaning the story probably won't feel so good, being compartmentalized and not contained.
I'm weary about DX3, but I know I'll be getting it. I have to. I missed the original DX, and have spent the past decade playing the demo (although I am hoping to get the Complete pack one of these days). I do love the art direction, although I am put-off by how advanced it seems compared to DX1 (which I try to handwave with gaming limitations of the time). More AA, and less washed out, this is going to tickle every visual fiber of my being.
Certainly, DX3 will be just be a better game than IW. I remembered not thinking IW was a good game compared to DX, but an alright game on its own. I just tried the demo, for the first time in half a decade, and this is... this is just awful. It isn't even good as a non-DX game. Yuck.
TGS '10
Anyone else think the bit at the end with the ships is (DX spoiler)
I'd just like to remind everyone that IW had an awesome rendered intro for the era.
Not saying this game will be a repeat of that, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
"Wary" or "leery." If you're "weary" that means you're tired.
Wary would be the one. Its like when I was a kid, and I couldn't spell sorcerer, so I'd always end up with soccer.
Then again, maybe that was what I meant. Certainly, I could be tired of DX3, given that I'm pretty unimpressed with it, still.
I mean, from the trailers, it looks like it'd be a pretty neat movie. That one gameplay trailer didn't exactly show gameplay in any context, though. The feature list so far isn't doing anything for me. I dare say that I'm less than cautiously optimistic.
Also, if I continue being a negative Nancy, I can come back screaming "I told ya so, neener neener!", should things go sour with the game. Which is probably the most important thing.
We like it.
Was it the morgue or the warehouse demo?
There was a club, and then we were at a warehouse or a container ship or something
I also like someone shooting a rocket at the giant mech walker, the giant mech walker turning and shooting a rocket back at them blowing up a lot of humans, that made me laugh.
Off topic like crazy:
You just reminded me that I needed to go back and re-download my favorite mod artists' music. Isotoxin, Ascent of the Cloud Eagle, When the Heavens Fall, Mechanism Eight, etc.
I used to chat with Alex B a little back in the day. His girlfriend at the time was online far more often than he was. The old #unreal days on IRC back before the game released and CliffyB hitting on my girlfriend... ahh, memories.
The 90's were so fucking good.
Alex Brandon needs to do more game soundtracks. And Necros does too.
And god damn, that trailer! This has seriously moved to my number one most wanted game. Want to know why that's crazy?
I've never [strike]played[/strike] gotten very far into the first one.
Castlevania: LoS is coming out soon, and I'm a mega CV nerd.
DR2 is out VERY soon, and the first is one of my favorite games. Ever.
I can't believe how into this game I am based simply on trailers, but something about it is singing to me, and me personally.
Yeah, that's the one that had its gameplay leaked.
We haven't seen the one with the morgue. That's the interesting one.
Yay!!!
EDIT: I just realized that the inviso-chick with the guns is a Seanchan! She looks like a cross between Sonya Tayeh and Lisbeth Salander.
I am a freaking nerd.
Probably stolen from somewhere or other, but that's what Deus Ex does

Found it.
I am a freaking nerd.
I keep equating it to The Dark Knight or something. Cant wait.
I'm a bit lost, myself. Is there a major list of features somewhere? So far, the only things I know about DX3 are it has a cover based combat system, third person take downs, regenerative health and seemingly good dialogue system.
It also has very nice cinematics and Jensen's voice is great.
But what other features are there/are there not? I still don't know if there is even an inventory system (I happen to be a horrible person and like block-shaped items that I can move around)?
Also, it occurred me, what with JC's name being intentionally JC, and Alex D.'s initials being AD... I feel they should have hammed it up to ensure that Jensen's name/initials were BC. That would have just been bacon flavoured icing on the pork flavoured cake.
It has an intricate hacking minigame, sneaking in through windows that you manually open, lethal and nonlethal takedown options, multiple ways of approaching each mission, the ability to have conversations with all the NPCs you see, random other stuff. etc.
