Re: A question/suggestion + some concerns

J In essence, the unreal engine's class-based package system is not optimal for modding of the type we're doing. An engine where individual elements could be dissected out and altered without forcing a full recompile would be far nicer, but them's the breaks. Which is why I'd LOVE to have seen Deus...

Re: Playing Deus Ex for the First Time

Morrowind was released before DX. Daggerfall waaaay before that. Not to mention all spacesims like Elite. "Open world needs modern technology?" Nope, not so much. VGA can do that. Wrong, Morrowind was released in 2002, two years after Deus Ex. Was Daggerfall seamless? No area divides, no level tran...

Re: 2027 Deus Ex Port.

LoL didn't we just have this discussion, Jonas?

As it turns out, I agree with Jonas. Realism isn't always "fun" or playable.

Re: All my lab flasks are "ghost lab flasks"!

I found cover to work ok in DXHR. The main problem is I went for a run and gun mentality, but quickly decided to just clear rooms from cover. The problem is, you MUST clear the rooms. People will otherwise converge on your cover positions to keep you from just hiding and regenerating. Enemy grenade ...

Re: DX Loader

So with that in mind, would I be better off doing a clean install then? I have several mods installed that I run with different configuration files (just copied and set up different .ini files). I'm just trying to get the gist of how this this will handle that.

Re: DX Loader

So would I use this WITH Kentie's launcher or as a replacement for it?

Re: DX3 reviews?

I still can't bring myself to shell out cash monies for a brick that will only, only play games. At least with a PC I can kinda justify that I'm also going to use it for porn work. Plus modding (ahahaha). And of course, it's not like I'm burgeoning with excess cash at the mo anyway (though soon to ...

Re: activating various augs with the same key

It's just my playing style. Something I hated about Fallout3 was activating the pip boy for simple thing like changing a weapon or using a med pack. It breaks the action. I also liked the augment system in crysis. It was very responsive and easy to use. You can set items in Fallout 3 to numeric hot...

Re: DX3 reviews?

Count me among the hitman fans as well. I've gone through all the hitman games on steam, and they were an absolute blast. The latest I did on the hardest setting, and it was an amazing amount of fun. I really wish IO would stay with it. They're able to say so many interesting things with the hitman...

Re: DX3 reviews?

Just to clear up this egregious attack on my gamer cred: I found stealth quite easy too. But you and I, we're fans of Hitman, Thief/MGS, Splinter Cell... we're masters of stealth, veterans. I've seen action gamers play DXHR, they went for stealth to get the most out of the game and they had a reall...

Re: DX3 reviews?

Yeah, that's a bit weird, but again it'd just be a hell of a lot of work, and it'd make it even harder to make sure the game remains stealthable. I think most players find the stealth in DXHR to be pretty hard, harder than the combat even. Presumably that's the motivation for implementing greater X...

Re: DX3 reviews?

You guys mistake me. My nitpicks are just that: nitpicks. The fact that I LOVE DX as it is (and HR isn't far behind) may have been overshadowed by the nitpicks. I was kind of tired and writing, I left out all the positives I love about the games. Yeah, I like Hitman. And MG/S. Why not? The games are...

Re: DX3 reviews?

My biggest problem with HR was pretty much my biggest problem with the original DX: Level design. -The city hubs in both games really challenge your suspension of disbelief. Very few places were there realistically set up city hubs despite having the tools to do so. Example: In both Detroit and Hell...

Re: Are these enough for DX:HR?

The Augmented Edition includes all the DLC except Missing Link. I got this version, and it's nice. It unlocks everything that was on the disc, including the Longsword Silenced Sniper Rifle, UR-DED Explosive packs, Automatic Unlocking Devices, the Double Barrel shotgun (handily equipped with the roun...
