Can you do a screencap and upload it. I'll see if it looks like my game.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 02-03-2013 10:42pm

if i see it again i'll upload a screencap

I finished it last night. I really loved the game but a few things did bug me.

In the later half of the game, the city hubs vanish and you never return to Sariff industries. I had thought there would be some sort of resolution between Jensen and Prichard as they seem to form some sort of friendship over the course of the game. The same goes for Malik and Megan.

There is a strong tonal shift once you reach Panchea, where it becomes a zombie survival horror. Not bad, just...different.

I hate the boss-fights but at least they're quick once you have the Typhoon.

For such a cinematic game, I had hoped there'd be a longer ending sequence with character resolutions.

I know i'm just whinging now and none of this detracts too much from an otherwise outstanding game. It does make me want to go back and play the other two now

i still haven't played invisible war, after all the bad things i've heard about it I'm always wary about installing it

It's a decent game in it's own right, just a very disappointing follow up.
...or maybe that's nostalgia talking since i can't get IW to work on my new laptop!

It's not incredibly bad and starts out quite promising, but there's so many annoying aspects to it and the fact that you can't help but compare it to the original (and now the new one), that it kinds of saps some of the enjoyment from it.

Bumping the thread; seems that the WiiU is getting it's own version, a 'Directors Cut' no less, with the infamous boss battles rebuilt; fair play n' all for addressing the issue, but I feel a little cheesed off that while one specific port is getting a fix for what was a minor, but tangible fault in the game, the rest of us have to put up with them.

Real shame, I'd love to play this version of the game, but I don't own a Wii U and no plans on ever getting one either. :cool:

I'd love to see the DC content released as DLC for the older versions of the game, at a reasonable price!

B.A._Baracus · 21-03-2013 12:53am

Directors cut? :P

Love the way you can give something a little spit shine and call it new. lol. lets be honest, it's just a port with a few things changed. But hey, if it cements a sequel? why not.

The other day, I pulled an old laptop out of cold storage and loaded Invisible War onto it. The story and characterization is actually great but it's a textbook example of "dumbing down" a game for consoles.

You have a tiny inventory with almost no management, same for the biomods. you run through well crafted, but very small maps so the loading bar will be all to familiar soon.
All in all, the menus and user interface are atrocious for something with Deus Ex on the cover.

When I saw the leaders of the Order and the WTO I knew exactly who they were - it was pretty easy to work out the main points of the plot. It sucked the fun out of the game for me - it didn't seem as if there was a conspiracy gradually unfolding throughout the game. I also didn't like how all of your choices (up to that point) became null and void at Liberty Island either.

The ending of HR wasn't great either. Did they run out of money at the end?

Also, if anyone else is in a Deus Ex replaying mood but would like something different, give The Nameless Mod (you need a copy of the original Deus Ex) a try, it's worth it.

very true. i remember you could change aliegences right up to the very end regardless of which group you sided with/against earlier. Though if memory serves did you not have to fulfill some sort of criteria beforehand? maybe that was for something else...

I liked the real footage (there was even one of a garda during a riot) but I was expecting a bit more closure to the characters and this time period in the world. It didn't help that the final boss was pi$$ easy too.

Spamming Typhoon seemed a handy way of taking out the bosses.

Yep. I found the

invisible one simple, though I didn't use the Typhoon. I used the grenade launcher. I'd gotten it in Shanghai from Tong. Just unloaded it on him. Done.

Also,

final boss was simple. That weapon that you get in Shanghai 2 that is next to Tong and you can kill her in seconds. Even on hard.

All you have to do is talk to the requisite people to get their option.

Finally played this legit and finished it, the other version i had i hated because it forced boss fights. Directors cut didnt really change this.

Decent game but the last level is ****, annoyed my stealth skills were not used at all. Shotgun shotgun shotgun...... the only gun i never modded...

J. Marston · 21-04-2014 1:52am

I ordered the Director's Cut from Amazon for about €12 last week after reading about the DLC and revamped boss fights, still waiting for it to arrive.

Disappointed to hear the boss fights haven't been changed but I'm still looking forward to getting stuck into it again. The Missing Link sounds like a biggish DLC.

was 3 quid on steam a while back, your forced into 4 boss fights i would suggest shotgun for those, seem to make the biggest effect with some FPS skills (strafe and dodge) otherwise nothing in this game will trouble you.

hacking and being stealthy has no bearing on anything, may as well kill everyone.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 21-04-2014 9:17am

i managed to kill the first couple of new bosses without upgrading any combat skills, they really did rejig the arenas so i think you can do it even if you have no weapons in your inventory

I got through the whole game without setting off any alarms or killing anyone. It's how you take on the game really.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 21-04-2014 10:19am

the last level is ****ing awful in stealth mode though, I did it once and the other times I just decided

'right there's no saving them, they're not human. boom boom in the face'

Yeah pretty much that.

On reflection the entire plot is pointless

it just ends, no end to the story.

goes to check if theres a sequel in the works.

Just picked this fella up for €5 quid in tesco's today.

PS3.
