Deus Ex HR is a terrible game

I know what you're thinking, but I'm not trolling or anything, I really think this game is downright terrible. I found it difficult to play more than 10 hours because it was so damn boring and limited.

My problem is, the game advertises itself as an RPG FPS, but this as RPG as Skyrim... It's not... It pretends to give you choices in how you play the game, when really, it just severely limits you depending on the environment. For example if I want to sneak by some guards, I can't because there's always one patrolling in one direction when the other is patrolling another. And yet I see some assault rifle ammo on the desk near me. WHAT THE HELL.

Seriously this game is terrible and I have uninstalled it.

The game can be played totally in stealth (minus boss fights), you being unable to is entirely down to you.

Boss fights were the only real problem with the game. If you went all stealth, boss fights were hard as hell.DragonfireXZ95

You can get invisible, you know that, right?

i found this game to be one of the most enjoyable games i've played for a good while, you can stealth the whole game like there saying, and your arguement of rifle ammo on the desk could be said if someone wanted an all guns blazing play through, in my playthrough i actually found it hard when i kept finding bloody tranq bullets everywhere and no rifle bullets, i loved the way i could just pick guards off one by one, there so many ways to play the game i could play it over and over again. i'm pretty sure at the start of the game when he asks how your going to take them down and you have a choice between a tranq gun or rifle, that decides what type of ammo your getting throughout the game in certain parts.

To each their own but Deus Ex HR is a great game, my personal GOTY last year by a wide margin. This topic makes me want to replay it now.

i just got it for free from playstation plus, one of the greatest games i've ever played! i gave it a 10, its up their with MGS4 on my list.

i loved human revolution my problem is the buggyness of the pc port. sometimes your game will bug and render certain chunks of side quests completely unfinishable. ill give an example for you. the undercover cop quest near the very start of the game she has a quest to go stun and haul away some dude in an apartment and then either stun or kill his buddies. the problem is that one of his buddies gltiches into a wall everytime you get close.

the debud menu jsut elts you repsawn him and then u simply take him down or blow his brain out. also if this glitch occurs and fixes itself (can happen) he will immedeately spot you and ruin any effort at being stelthy you once had

Guys, I don't know how many areas there are but I got through almost the whole china place but one thing that I felt was lacking was the amount of side quests? I remember exploring pretty much yet I found quite a few side quests? Anyone else?

After The Witcher 2, Deus Ex Human Revolution is one of my favorite games in a long time. There is tons of freedom so I really don't know what you are talking about.

i dont understand what the boss fights fuss is all about. Makes me sad that the producers apologized for them when the bosses are suposed to be hard to kill, maybe our generation is getting spoiled indeed.

I played totaly stealth and they were pretty easy. Much easier actually than playing commando. The tranquilizer gun works wonders with the bosses, took me some time to realize it, but when i did killed the first one in no time at all. Never even used the typhon or spent points in it.

One of my favourite games all in all

I find that this game has too much emphasis on hacking, im actually at a point where I cant progress through the game since I dont have a high enough hacking skill. Chris_53

There are tools that hack for u that u can buy or find

GOTY 2011.

Judging by the OP you were just terrible at the game, you do realise you have augmentations to help you in situations like that right?

I played the game entirely in stealth,without killing anyone,and without triggering the alarms,aside from a few scripted moments like [spoiler] Malik's crash [/spoiler]

It's not as great as the original Deus Ex(well,nothing's as great as original Deus Ex IMO),but it sure comes close.A very enjoyable experience,easily one of the best games of 2011.Had some small flaws here and there(time freezes during takedowns,some awkward animation and lifeless character faces),but none were gamebreaking,or serious enough to get in the way...

Nope.

I went through the game on hardest difficulty without firing a single shot outside of boss fights.

You just suck at it.

It's not bad in that regard. The problem with the game is that besides the boss fights, you are pretty much penalized for playing any other way than stealth non-lethal. I remember trying on my first playthrough to do a lethal takedown on the first guy i met. Not only did i receive nearly no points whatsoever, it attracted all the other guards and sounded the alarm.

The game was fine when I played last winter.

I never really tried a complete stealth playthrough though...

Great game. My only issue was the story. They do a good job of making you care about how you treat and interact with characters but leave you with some boring anticlimactic lecture of an ending. I don't need a philosophy lesson from my games I just want an entertaining story with relevant character interaction.Javy03

I disagree. Though I will say that there are PLENTY of better games out there.

Indeed, everyone agrees IW > HR. :shock: :twisted:

I kid and will only say, I'm not that much a fan of some of the control methods but that's likely just me. :P

Um I went through the game not killing anyone and didn't even get the achievement for knocking out 100 people because I snuck by almost everyone. The game's stealth was pretty easy honestly.

My second playthrough, I'm killing as many people as possible, letting the bodies pile up in the streets :P

lol get better at the game :P It's not gonna give you everything you need all the time, that would further diminish it to what you already think it is. It would make it a casual shooter then

I agree the game is terirble. I just found it so boring. There have been times where I did get into it but to be honest with you, most of my fun has been from killing everyone in the game. My first target was the punk that doesnt stop dancing in the underground, then I took out everyone in the police station, and then everyone in Honk Kong or where ever it is. Stopped playing after that, just cant be bothered.

I completed the whole game without killing anyone and using only a handful of tranquilizer darts. I relied mostly on non-lethal takedowns. You can easily sneak past most of the enemies because there are so many alternative routes.

The game was amazing and even the boss fights that everyone complained about, while awful, were easy to get through with a pure stealth/hacking/social character. Just save some nades and keep them in a stunlock with the stun pistol.

Amazing game overall.
