In 2011, Eidos-Montreal resurrected the dormant franchise with Human Revolution, giving the series an updated look while remaining true to the player choice-driven gameplay.

HawkMan Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 About time. stylistically and gameplay wise probably the best game I played for decades. the only game that I remember having a better ambience and style is the old Blade Runner game.

compl3x Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 No boss fights. I hate boss fights in games that are supposed to be about stealth & non-lethal takedowns. Running around shooting everything in sight can be done in pretty much every other game. +Red King 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compl3x Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I went to the trouble of stealthing/non-lethal only to find out that I had to fight bosses I was completely unequipped for. There was no way to sneak up on bosses & do non lethal takedowns. Enter room > cutscene > boss fight Oh, here I am with my dart gun and taser.

+Asmodai MVC Posted April 8, 2015 MVC Share Posted April 8, 2015 Oh heck yeah! Hopefully Gog.com will have this (their facebook page referenced it earlier today) but if not the day one PS4 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aergan Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Seems a lot like MGS: Rising now art/style-wise. Not that that's a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trag3dy Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I personally hope they make it so stealth is not the most rewarding option for exp. You could go loud and lethal in human revolution but then you'd be severely gimped in terms of character progression and it was quite limiting.

I'm sure they won't the same mistake again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soniqstylz Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Boss battles were actually outsourced, which is why they didn't mesh with a non-lethal playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compl3x Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Boss battles were actually outsourced, which is why they didn't mesh with a non-lethal playthrough. Outsourced or not it was a bad idea to include them in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceelf Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm excited about the game, but at the same time I wonder if they actually changed anything or it'll be Human Revolution with better graphics. Not that I'd complain about that, but eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramesees Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Good news on the boss fight front. Eidos have confirmed you can ghost your way through the whole game including boss fights: http://www.pcgamer.com/deus-ex-mankind-divided-ghost-run/ http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-04-16-deus-ex-mankind-divided-will-be-completely-ghostable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compl3x Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Good. I think I got up to the third or fourth boss and kind of gave up because I wasn't interested in it any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted April 17, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm with you, boss fights are like an old gameplay device that we really don't need in many of todays games. Specially in a game that has a stealth option, tossing in a forced boss battle with no quick and quiet stealth way to end it, is counter to the game. I too spent the whole game stealthing through levels, though I was ready for boss fights, it was still not the part of the game I liked to do.
