If the story is amazing, I'll get it

It's a great game, I've played it, you won't be disappointed if you like Dues Ex 1.

I pre-ordered it when it was on sale for $29 at green man gaming. From what I've seen of it I expect to get ratings in the range of 8-8.5; an excellent game but some minor execution problems prevent it from being truly great.

I don't understand how can you rate something if you haven't played it.

 

[SMOGZINN]

I've played it for about an hour and can say it is fun.

I pre-ordered the Deus Ex: Human Revolution Augmented Edition version,I might hold off playing until my new PC is built in September.

It'll be interesting to see how polished the retail version is.

I wasn't rating it personally, just posting what I expected from it from the previews I've seen.
To me it looks like an excellent, complex game that I'm really going to enjoy. However, due to that complexity I'm guessing that they'll be a few hiccups along the way (bugs, odd ai, etc.) that will be nitpicked by reviewers and land it somwhere in the 8-8.5 range. That's just my opinion anyway.

There are probably hundreds of people who have played the leaked beta, review copies aside.

Right... I forgot about that leak.

 

[Mandres]

I hadn't heard a word about this game, but the previews sound fantastic. I'll have to keep an eye out for this one.

8-8.5 is a terrible score for a game in this day and age. Many a mediocre game get 9-9.5 these days.

 

[KaOTiK]

I don't even watch a video for a game that doesn't get at least an 12 out of 10

lol.

Then stop looking at rating scores and read the actual reviews.

Does anybody buy games based on review scores anymore?

I hope not.

Another preview here http://worthplaying.com/article/2011/8/2/previews/82634/ .

Despite being a limited slice of the game, the Deus Ex: Human Revolution disc that Square Enix sent over had the intended effect. It has us hooked. Assuming that the remainder of the game is just as engaging, Deus Ex: Human Revolution has the potential to be a game of the year contender — and that is not a term that we throw around lightly.

I buy games based on what forum say on the day of release.

Major whining about irrelevant details = GOTY

Fanboys excusing major holes = AVOID

Day of release huh? so you rely on opinions of people who've barely played a potentially buggy and unpatched game? sweet!

hahaha, what an interesting measure

 

[dpodblood]

This game looks great, but I still haven't played Deus Ex 1 yet. :O

haha, that's a good system. It's always a good sign when a new game has hundreds of pages of arguments about whether this or that weapon is overpowered or if the ending works on enough levels.

If a game sucks people just say it sucks and move on.

 

[wuliheron]

The developers get points from me just for checking forums like this to see what complaints people had about the trailers and modifying the game accordingly. From that and these reviews it appears they are really interested in producing the best game they can. Still, after all the predatory marketing in the last few years I'll wait for it come out before leaping to conclusions about just how good it is.

 

[pontifex]

i started Deus Ex 1 recently and just can't get into it. I don't know if it's graphics or what. Gameplay just doesn't seem fun so far either.

I've seen some trailers for the new one and it looks awesome. Sounds like it has a good story too.

Is it even worth it to get the Augmented Edition if you already got the first one on steam?
