It made so much sense when I learned that the boss battles of DX:HR were outsourced to a completely different company that had no idea what upgrades players could take or expect to have when and had never played the original DX.

Honestly, the problem isn't that nobody had the right upgrades. None of the upgrades aside from "kill cannon" would really help. It's just that they were an entirely different game which showed up occasionally when you were playing Deus Ex.

Well right thats kind of my point. They didn't know what upgrades were in the game, so they couldn't factor them into the boss fight design.

The giant robots in DX1 get kind of easy to kill toward the end of the game.

I think QTE bosses would have been more fun.

Still, terrible bosses and a weak overall plot are pretty much two minor scuffs on an otherwise really good time for me. I look forward to people using the engine or ripping it off.

The next DX game should genuinely force you to use certain augs at certain times, and generally just give you less freedom as to what stuff you can have available to you at any time.

Can make a much more exact experience that way and probably control the difficult much better which will, overall, result in a great game.

Higher than 1680x1050? That's getting into pretty small pixel territory.

1440 by 900

You can upgrade the 15 inch MBPs to 1680x1050. The upgrade also gives you a choice between glossy and matte.

Nice; I guess it pays to venture beyond the "technical specifications" page.

How are you going to make Pepe Le Pew work in an era where sexual harassment is taken seriously?

That could be computer generated cartoons, which I hear is pretty standard for modern animation. Not really any better or worse than traditional purely hand drawn animation but a lot cheaper.

The same way they will do Speedy Gonzalez in an era where that type of blatant racism is frowned upon.

So you thought the latter half of the game maintained some measure of difficulty?

It's always kind of disappointing when a game allows character customisation, but then makes it possible to max out everything and/or makes all possible paths through the game available regardless of build.

Mojo_Jojo

The next Deus Ex should reward you somehow for not turning into a giant evil robot. The reward for the giant evil robot path are self-evident.

CGI/Live action means "CGI cartoons in a real life setting". See also: Alvin and the Chipmunks, Yogi Bear, Smurfs. I could watch pure CGI, but that blend of the two media hasn't been done well since Roger Rabbit.

The majority of the time I spent playing DX:HR was out of OCD to have to explore EVERY room and take down ALL the guards silently and without anyone discovering anything then backtracking through EVERY path I could have taken to reach the last part of the mission.

edit: this may have been why I ended up not enjoying the game all that much.

but I just had to be absolutely certain I wasn't missing any praxis kits or anything important

The game started with any difficulty? Look just because they screwed the pooch on balance doesn't mean I think your method is an improvment.

I also got a bunch of people IRL to play League of Lagends with now! Super exciting!!

I'm so glad I went to the party

Instead of burqas they should have all the women wear batman costumes all the time. Then if someone is all like "you bitcha ima throw acid at joo!" she can be like *batarang* 'acid is on you, punk'

Space Jam was the peak of Western civilization. It's all been downhill from there.

I think he just means that the stuff like invisibility is only made available at a certain plot point (Like in the original). You can still merrily customise that way, and it's easier to design the game to challenge you.

Which quote? The first one?

Well it's either that or severely power down the augs.

Also completely fucking remove the takedown system. Well, perhaps keep takedowns for a heavy combat kind of character. Actually, no, completely remove them.

Why does the D&D website take sooooooooooooo longggggggggggggg to activate Insider content. I want to start working on my character for the new Tuesday game NAO!

They should also release a gritty pokemon FPSRPG using the Deus Ex engine.
