I was told this game was good. Was I memed?

>>714655493 (OP)
sounds like you're just a retarded zoomer

>>714655493 (OP)
Skill issue.

>game lets you stealth
>very first level is a giant island where half the stealth is walking straight past some in streetlight but its 50 yards away and their fov doesn't go that far

>>714655493 (OP)
I like the original deus Ex but I don't understand the people who claim that it's better than the Jensen games.

How can it be better when stealth and most augmentations are useless?

>>714655493 (OP)
>Was I memed?
Somewhat, yeah. Deus Ex isn't really a stealth game, it's a secret agent game. It's not about getting a Ghost rating, it's just about slipping through when you can and shooting down the rest. Think more along the lines of James Bond, you know how he goes from sipping martinis and sneaking around to full-blown explosions and shootouts with everyone jumping everywhere.

That being said, the baton is pretty consistent if you bap them properly on the back of the head.

>>714655574
NTA but you didnt say he's wrong

>>714655624
>>714655654
>lul you didn't put enough doot doots in your stealth-O-meter that means you can't do stealth takedowns in your stealth game ACKTSHUALLY

>>714655815
I'm too lazy to explain basic information that he should obviously know.

Ah yes, now retards like OP celebrate press Y to takedown because they couldn't possibly function without a big button telling them what to do.

>>714655854
who told you it was a stealth game? he literally hands you a gun at the start to shoot people with

>>714655984
The Russian woman in the training area

>>714655781
It's because Human Revolution suffers from generally weaker level layouts for missions, and the worse ones--or in some cases, just the worst segments--are frontloaded. Then there's the showcasing of the cover system in these sections, and the XP system that people felt funneled them into certain routes/playstyles, which further exacerbated the issue. As for Mankind Divided, it being half a game that Squenix rushed to market really just overshadows everything.

But otherwise yeah I'd totally say the Jensen games are better. Human Revolution specifically, due to actually being a finished game.

>>714655493 (OP)
no man it just gets better 20 hours in trust the science

>>714655984
He also gives you the GEP Gun to make a silent takedown

>>714655493 (OP)
The tranq darts are so insanely overpowered in this game that I think you might just be retarded.

>>714655493 (OP)
>lul
go back to watching twitch streamer

>>714656164
>how is this a stealth tool if the tranq darts just make them run and shout around and chase after you and set off alarms and in no way be stealthy
>uh but they knock them out so it's overpowered lul
okay little bro

>>714656015
(((russian)))
I've never done the training. You can do stealth if you want but it's not a game focused around stealth mechanics.
The stuff you have is gimmicky which makes it fun, with the pistol to bail you out.
>>714656150
yeah true I forgot about that. I think it was either than and the option for an rpg or some shit?

>>714656150
The GEP gun was described as an anti-armour weapon. In fact I just googed it, it's a rocket launcher you donkey
>>714656164
I shot some mercenary with one and he ran around like Johnny from MGS having stomach cramps every 5 seconds, didn't go down

>>714656049
Human Revolution is not a finished game wtf.

They cut entire hubs and the ending consisted of 'push buttons 1-3 for ending cutscene 1-3" because they ran out of time.

>>714656447
I think it's pointless to train melee because you get that OP chinese sword later anyway.

Damn, there actually are kids posting on /v/

I tried the old zap 'em and whack 'em, still took up too many charges. It's looking like I'm just gonna have to play this game like DOOM, which is pretty gay to be honest

>>714656536
You're acting like the game came out yesterday, how am I supposed to remember something from so long ago.

>>714656523

Then why did you describe Deus Ex
>but i dont care because thats not what im talking about
But it is
>im specifically correcting your incorrect post
But you didn't

>>714656610
human revolution was not a finished game, it was heavily cut before release

stay mad and wrong i dont care, just making sure other people don't wrongly believe what you posted

>>714655493 (OP)

Simple as

>stay mad and wrong
But you're the only one getting upset
>just making sure other people don't wrongly believe
But you say that as a guy whose depth of familiarity with the game is to cite the wiki, whereas I've actually played through it with the Developer's Commentary and have seen the Making Of

It's weird how mad you're getting over something you're not familiar with

>>714656498
Great advice if you can speedrun your way to Hong Kong without encountering any guards, but I assume this is OP's first time playing and he sounds a bit retarded to boot
>>714656538
You can clobber most guards with the baton. Save your prod charges for the alerted or awkwardly positioned ones. DX has some wonky design in the early game but I will not tolerate slander against the prod and baton

Pro-Tips:
>if you want some bonus help, untrain your pistol skill and use the points to train others. it will automatically go back to Trained when the game begins (most patches anyway)
>pick the GEP Gun when Paul gives you an option, there's a dead guard with the crossbow and a patrolling guard you can knock out to get a sniper rifle, giving you all three weapons anyway
>enemies will not notice if you crouch-walk into their backs, so you have to press up against them and then smack their lower/mid back to do an instant KO or kill with a melee weapon (this is essential knowledge for stealth users!!!)
>the crossbow's tranq darts are meant to be fired from long range at a target and then, when the dart hits and the enemy aggros, you quickly duck behind cover and wait. in about 3-4 seconds the enemy will begin to run away in fear, then a few seconds later the enemy will fall unconscious. do NOT use it as some instant KO headshot machine...
>your visibility depends on the light or shadow you are in, and guards react based on the distance you are from them plus how long you have been in your direct line of sight. this is why guards always turn to face you, then aggro.

>>714656878
they cut an entire hub, and the ending was rushed out the door with 3 button 'pick your own adventure' instead of actual gameplay.

the game was not finished, what do you think youre accomplishing by lying about an old game like this?

>>714656445
In Deus Ex 1 the buttons are objectives you have to do in different locations.
In HR they are literally 3 buttons
Kill yourself you piece of shit.

kys fake gamer

>>714657028
>pssh you didn't know you were supposed to hit a very particular pixel on the enemie's back with only one particular melee weapon? Heh... fukken scrub...
Might just play on easy with baton only and dumping all points into low tech. That's apparently what I have to do if I wanna enjoy stealth

>>714656447
>One charge stuns for long enough to do the above
If you actually take them by surprise it only takes 1 prod.

mankind divided sucks ass why the fuck am i in poland or some other eastern euro shithole for 90% of the game, deus ex games are all about globetrotting

>>714657239
You don't need to hit that exact spot, the upper back or the back of the head will also work on the lower tier guards the NSF and UNATCO has. The game doesn't explain this mechanic, which is why I'm telling (You) about it.

>>714657126
>they cut an entire hub, and the ending was rushed out the door with 3 button 'pick your own adventure' instead of actual gameplay.
You're still just describing Deus Ex
>>714657151
It's the exact same kind of running around to get the ending buttons in Area 51 as it is saving Taggart and Sarif in Panchaea, arguably even less so for Area 51 with just how small and condensed the area is. Please actually play the games before you comment on them.

why are deus ex threads so shit the last couple years
its like some redditor has taken up responsibility to samefag

>>714657384
no im describing the actual, real, verified cut content in HR, they cut an entire hub and they cut the final part of the game and quickly shoehorned in 3 buttons on a console as a replacement. that happened. in HR

whatever other unrelated things happened anywhere else in the universe are completely irrelevant to that fact

>>714657468
the series is shit the threads just follow its spirit

>>714655493 (OP)
You can use prod and you find charges for it.
>but it's not enough
You don't have to neutralize every enemy on the level.

Then you can also use batons in combination with a pepper spray.
And then there's darts crossbow.
>but it doesn't knockout enemies right away
Yes, so you won't walk around shooting everyone left and right. You have to catch the right moment and make sure that no one is around your target.
But you'll get a sniper riffle later in the game.

>>omg you opened a hatch! 50 gamer exploration doots that means you're a good and thorough gamer! *pat pat pat*
Better xp system than the cancer of the sequels. Name a better one. VtmB's one is another good example of xp system that rewards player for playing the game and not for being kleptomaniac murder hobo.

In conclusion: have you tried not being a total fucking retard?

Or any at all frankly.

Yep, that's Deus Ex for ya

>>714657642

Melee fucking rips in Deus Ex, though. Same in System Shock 2, you obliterate shit with the wrench that takes forever with a fucking gun.

>>714657820
dude it's literally so fucking easy. My zoomer friend that's 16 even beat this game with no issues, how fucking stupid are you?

>>714658071
you've missed the point, are you baiting for engagement?

>>714658245
I didn't, you have enough to take people out with ease, with a gun on top of that to shoot them if you want.
It's also just the first level with you having low stats, why do you want the most OP shit right then and there?

>>714658341
nta
anon, I think you missed the ironic "mask slip" moment in his post
this entire thread is a ragebait for engagement so just let it die

>>714658071
I just described 3 ways in which it isn't easy to deal with enemies because all the weapons and skills are trash. I guess your zoomie butt buddy is just an absolute chadgod at videogames though

>>714658426
yeah fair enough
OP sucks massive cocks

you can knock down an mj12 commando with just one prod charge if you sneak and hit him in the back. only the men in black take two hits. it's most effective on the TORSO
tho i'm not sure if you need at least 'trained' low-tech

>>714658801
What, do you think I was sneaking up to enemies face on without them noticing and zapping them on their chest? Hit him in the back... gee amazing advice

>>714655815
NTA but okay
>>714655493 (OP)
You are wrong

>>714655781
Neither of those claims are true, though. Your augments are plenty useful and far more creative than Jensen's offering. What makes you think they're useless?
Stealth just the same is far from useless, but when it comes to takedowns you need to invest into the proper weapon skill to get oneshots. You know, like you would in an RPG.
People may talk about how the Jensen games have much less imaginative level design, but IMO the prequels' biggest failing is how much less interesting the writing is, since it goes a bit too on the nose with the aug livew matter. That and how it keeps throwing the myth of Icarus at you

>>714657820
game becomes very boring in late game anyway when you got all OP augs, better weapons and upgraded your skills. For me it happens as I reach Paris, I just stop caring about stealth or thinking who to shoot or not and it ruins the game for me because I have to make restrictions myself now. What makes it worse is that endgame has some of the best levels, Vandenberg and Ocean Lab, gas station mission, Paris Cathedral they all great but too fuckin easy at this point. IMO enemies and bots should've had another tier to them, MJ12 and MiB got easy right after Honk Kong. They need augs too or something.
I also wish ocean lab was bigger, man I had so much fun there because I fully upgraded my underwater breathing aug

>>714655983
Nta but
>Stick to the prod!
Alex Denton, the NSF lover

>>714656445
Nta, but upper hengsha was supposed to be actual city with university, not a bunch of corridors and research rooms. You can turn on the commentary in Deus Ex: HR Director's Cut, they say a lot about removed stuff.

>>714655493 (OP)
I started playing (again) recently.
I think that you need to play on Realistic, put some points on whatever is the Melee equivalent skill (at least make it "trained") and then hit enemies on the middle of their back with the baton when they are aren't alerted.

>>714656538
Secret technique incoming - wait for the enemy to be stationary. Baton to the head or prod in the ass, most will fall after one shot even with untrained melee. Baton can alert nearby guards, prod does not.

>>714655493 (OP)
Stealth takedowns are one hit kills if you aim at the lower back, with both taser and baton

>>714660871
>>714660956
Ah yes, the old Batman Snap

>>714655493 (OP)
So you didn't put all your skill points into swimming to be able to acquire the ultimate aug that is hidden underwater?
Skill issue.

>>714655493 (OP)
>>omg you opened a hatch! 50 gamer exploration doots that means you're a good and thorough gamer! *pat pat pat*
This is great though. Much better than giving xp for actions so you'reincentivized to hack every fucking door (instead of finding a code) and knock out every fucking guard

>>714657820
Yes, you can roleplay as an underequipped, underleveled secret agent. Remember, you're an experimental human-nanite hybrid fresh from the training. You can act as green as you feel like it.

Actual skill issue. OP is literally Dude Sux and will never be the captain.

>bro just shoot them with a sleep dart then run up and zap them on one specific pixel of their spine then hit them with the baton bro

It's a rather wide area and you only need to hit them with one of these things, the sleep darts take them down after a while.

OP's playthrough

>>714663373
DSOP

Baton takes down all regular humans from the Erector Spinae muscle on the back and charged headshot tranq on regular enemies drop instantly. Prod takes down everything to the Erector Spinae. Baton can even one hit KO everything with max low tech and strength mod on.

Deus Ex is always a summertime game for me. It seems most comfy to play it during the season.

excellent bait op
