Deus Ex: Human Revolution Review

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Review
This series has produced one of the best games of all time and also one of the worst sequels of all time. Due to this, I went into Eidos Montreal’s attempt at Deus Ex with an equal amount of excitement and trepidation. Deus Ex is one of those games that you use as a comparison to all other games that fall into the same genre, so the third installment had a lot to live up to. Deus Ex: Human Revolution has a mountain to overcome in order to get close to its now ancient predecessor (and a mole hill to climb over another). Instead of attempting that near impossible climb, Human Revolution surprised me by leaping over the mole hill and going around the mountain instead.
| PROS | Wonderful Narrative, good overall presentation,involving, worth multiple plays |
| CONS | Terrible boss fights, some plot holes, level up system not perfect, too little variety |
| WTF?! | No lockpicks? They make a comeback in the future then? |
You are Adam Jensen, Security Chief for Sarif Industries. This company is one of the major producers of human augmentations, competing for a place at the top of the global stage. Thanks to Dr. Megan Reed, your old friend/ex/divorced wife (never explained), your company is about to make a breakthrough in augmentation. It all goes wrong when the company is attacked, the scientist team is killed, and you’re pretty much left for dead. This time around, being left for dead doesn’t mean zombies attack, but instead, Adam Jensen becomes one of the most heavily augmented people in the world and is brought back into the fold to try and discover who is targeting Sarif.
From here, the game follows a pretty standard pattern of letting you explore a HUB level filled with mini-quests, before switching to a dungeon style map for the main plot. Rinse, repeat and that’s the entire structure of the game. Sometimes you get two dungeon style levels in a row, but that’s it. I’m not saying this is necessarily a bad way of setting the game, but you can be guaranteed of a few things every time. Each HUB area will have three to four side quests per visit and nearly every dungeon will end with a boss fight of some description (not including the first). Human Revolution uses a very standard approach to pacing that, while practical, isn’t as varied as I would have liked.
But let’s be honest, it’s not so much how the levels occur, but what occurs within them. Starting with the HUB levels, players can expect a wonderfully fleshed out experience. Each of these sections truly feels like a living, breathing world and even the most redundant of civilian characters having something to add to the experience. Just listening to the goings on within the city is a task in itself and one that I personally spent several hours indulging in. If you really want to get the most out of DE: HR, then getting as deeply involved in the goings on within the world is a must. Besides, some of these conversations can actually lead you to finding alternate routes and secrets within the cities.
- I wouldn’t want to meet him in an dark alley…
Aside from random chatter, there is plenty more to find. You can engage multiple characters in conversation, even if these don’t lead on to ‘official’ side quests. Should you be so inclined, you can simply explore. This often results in finding items and information that you would never have come across otherwise. Not every section in DE: HR is involved in the quest system and only through striking out on your own will you find everything.
Characters that do lead you to side quests often are named and easy to spot should you take the time to look at everybody or keep an ear out for a shout. You can choose to take on any mission you like, but why you would turn them down still eludes me. These mini-missions usually revolve around going to a location, speaking to someone, finding something, shooting someone, and not necessarily in that order. There is always a non-lethal answer to every one of these quests, and usually this is the preferred method. While it’s absolutely essential for games like Deus Ex to have these types of missions, Human Revolution fails to mix it up.
8/10

Well, I did find a few: The post credits ending… There are 4 possible endings, but the Eliza choice is the only one that makes sense with the finale. Then you have the one when the Hive owners son tries to kill you for no reason, even though the original plan would have still worked as a distraction. And finally, how did the bad guys exactly manage to create a glitch to force a factory recall. (but to be fair, I’m not sure about the last one ’cause I stopped reading all the e-mails at about 3/4 of the game)

Excellent review!
So far there is two things that bother me with the game. First one is being the dumb AI. Very dumb. I’ve seen much smarter AI in the first Splinter Cell that dates from almost ten years.
I found a perfect strategy too to sneak-fight groups : throw a cardboard box, wait for the guy to come, take down, repeat ten times. I also find the need to “hide bodies” not that important. Very often i can sneak right in front of a guard… are they blind?
The graphic engine clearly made its time, but the scenery and cities design are fantastic.
Oh well, this game is still awesome.

Nice work.
Though I will say – the energy management system was a constant bother – downing candy bars to have more then the one was a really bad design decision – particularly if you’re doing stealth & takedowns.
The other thing I think is a major disagreement with something most people have had to say about the game, and you also had here:
“”Each of these sections truly feels like a living, breathing world”"
Where are the people?
I can understand Detroit being totally deserted – two reasons why.
1. It’s nighttime, and possibly very early monring.
2. It’s Detroit.In China though? The city you’re in is huge – big enough that it’s a double decker, it’s during the daytime, and you’re in what equates to the slums. There’s barely anyone to be seen anywhere. Maybe I’ve been spoiled with the Assassin’s Creed games, but the streets felt completely deserted and it really sucked me out of feeling like it was an actual city.
The design layout was great, I’ll give it that, but no cars, no traffic, no people? I was expecting this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIIuR-HjFho&feature=relatedI really enjoyed the game, but it was definitely not without faults.

There are people and (parked) cars.Although DEX draws heavy influences on a lot of “interllectual” Sc–Fi; the series
has never tried to replicate any one film entirely. -
September 06, 2011 at 12:40pm
Yes, I saw them. What I’m saying is that they are scarce, particularly for what is supposed to be a major metropolitan city – to the point where I don’t believe that it’s actually a city, because there are not enough people there (hence the break from immersion).
I don’t remember saying it was trying to copy a specific film…
-
September 06, 2011 at 03:53pm
Yeah I’ll admit the cities are less populated than you would likely see in RL, but from a game standpoint I think its fine. The AC games are in third person so your vision isn’t obscured by crowds like it would be in first person. it would be much more difficult getting around and finding people if you had to watch out for cars and crowds.
I have to wait to cross the road enough in RL, those terrorists necks aren’t going to snap themselves :3
-
September 06, 2011 at 07:21pm
I did not consider the potential gameplay ramifications from the 3rd to 1st person perspectives with a city with quite a bit more population. That said, I don’t think it would be impossible to address, but given the technology, staff on hand & ideas bouncing around the meeting rooms it just wasn’t feasible with the engine/gameplay mechanics.
Someday perhaps.

Excellent review Yousif, despite a few typos. I agree with pretty much everything you said.
-
September 05, 2011 at 08:11pm
I apologize for any typos. I’m still recovering from surgery I had a week or so back and perhaps have not hit the high standard I usually like to bring. I gave the editing team a hell of a time with this one and there was always a chance they were going to miss something.
I’ll be taking a short break from writing while I fully recover. Should be back in time for a major title out at the end of this month.
-
September 05, 2011 at 09:35pm
I also strongly agree with this review, although while I was playing on the PC version, I had a constant frame-rate of 30fps. One thing I was disappointed about that Yousif wasn’t, was Square’s bad habit of over-using pre-rendered cut-scenes… I found they were utterly unnecessary in some situations, and given the difference between the pre-rendered and real time rendering (real time often being brighter and more focused than the pre-rendered), it made some situations a little jarring.
Another thing I want to point out is the massive amounts of easter eggs in the game. From Robocop and Demolition man references (the demolition man one had me rolling with laughter) to a letter from a former Australian prime minister, and room names that have more meaning than you would think, the writers threw in just about any and all reference they could think of, which is a delight to all who can find them… or to me anyways.

September 06, 2011 at 06:58pm
Actually no, it was John Howard, one of our most longest running PMs. You can find his letter on a computer next to the first turret you run across in the Picus building. He doesn’t state anything about his role as a Prime Minister in the letter, but that’s because he is now just an average citizen, having retired from politics (with a massive pension of that)

Deus Ex Augmentation Site
A new augmentation manufacturing company website has launched as a preview of the extensive technology available to players in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
Pistol only. 1 bullet per headshot. The a.i. almost never decides to walk up to you or flank you. Disappointingly easy.
I’ve never had problems with ammo, ever in this game (on normal) and you shouldnt, seeing as its everywhere, and you can buy it. Just to refute the people talking in the chat.
Haters love to hate, but I love seeing these shows. Keep them coming.
Man the part where you guys pretty much fall apart in laughter was great. It was infectious. By the end of it my chest was hurting.
http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff431/zppbonzo/laladada.jpg
There! I did it for you!
Dang it Fraser! You never posted the link to the video title pic in part 7!
By the way Fraser, long load times? Not on PC!
“He didn’t even tell me the code” – after three times on screen
“We have a HUD now!” – after about 10 minutes having it
“Final Fantasy X… X… V… I… I… 27!” – First try!
Part 5: BEST. SHOW. EVER! My mouth hurts from laughing xD
So, it’s tomorrow, now. Where’s my new daily? *sniffs* I’m suffering from withdrawals. *sniffs**sniffs* The first week was free? You dirty double dealer! *sniffs* Take all my monies. *sniffs*
Id seriously, have loved a Playthrough where this game was given the attention it deserves. You guys were serious with a shitty game like Dead Island, but then a game that’s requested like Deus Ex, wich is actually the best game this year, isnt treated seriously. This game is intellectual and it’s meant to be played Stealthy and not Gun and Run… If your going to gun and run, play something else…
The developers have stated that you can play the game however you want, whether its stealthy, Resourceful or commando.
“This game is intellectual”
Well there’s your mistake right there. Did you see how the show turned out?!?
So, does this mean you guys are going to overwhelm everyone else on BT now just through sheer volume of videos?
Because, no offense, but I actually come here for other producers, and I’d rather not wade through 3 of your videos for 1 of everyone else’s.
We are working on Blistered Thumbs 2.0, to improve the way things are arranged & displayed on the front page.
I know, right? Who do these guys think they are producing continuous entertainment for us. What a couple of jerks.
One man’s “continuous entertainment” is another man’s spam. If I wanted a website plastered with nothing but FFS vids, I’d go to their website. Or has Blistered Thumbs given the go ahead for Fraser to take over their site?
So what do you want? Do you want them to hire you to make a list of who you like best and how often each person can post a new video?
Sure, create a false choice from opposite logical extremes. That’s how you win a debate.
I’d just like to know where the quality control is. Not even the Nostalgia Critic posts every day. This kind of thing doesn’t happen on That Guy With The Glasses, so why is it allowed here?
The contributors are free to upload their content as often as they see fit.
I, for one, welcome our new P.E.N.I.S. Overlords.
their player doesn’t work for me =o
Wow, you guys are TERRIBLE peoples!
…
This was probably your best episode yet!
Hey Fraser, in the playlist the Part 4 is before Part 3, it goes Part 1, Part 2, Part 4, Part 3
Anyways, the show is AWESOME
Thanks for letting me know bro.
I have all over my computer now from watching this. Thanks!
Best episode of the daily’s so far by far!
I have juice*
Damn you words…
thank god you guys went this route for this game i really didn’t like it much and everyone was doing it -the lper- and well i found the game boring to watch i am very sure it is a good game and solid but it is not my cup of tea even tho i love square and eidos
but this show wass sooo funny i couldn’t breathe …and erm a penis penis penis
HEY you promised me a bigger dick what gives,
Also Fraser is taking over BT viva la revolution or sieg heil’
sieg heil isn´t exactly working in this case since it was what the nazis used when they already had power so … yes … that was stupid…i´m not saying you can´t do such jokes but this one just did not work
concentrated juice on the other hand – that was an instant classic
Dr Pepper, Playboy and Chuck Lorre present: Michael Bay & Call of Duty Xbox gamers (Rated M for Mature)
Must resist watching this before I have played it.
it really made my day because the mods always cry about mature themes and then the host himself comes along and is as mature as a baby – don´t take me wrong,i fucking like it but who thinks about the children that are in your chatz? WHOOOO?
I just noticed. In the “Shows” page of Blistered Thumbs, VGA is described as “Fun, brief, and rarely informative.” They should get that changed considering this episode’s length.
OKAY ENOUGH NOW FRASHER! BRING DEACON BACK. DONT oh hey i found the caps lock. Dont f#ck with me and bring him back. Or some s#it is gonna go down on this site you hear me?
these shows are daily at 2pm pst.
deacon and kyle work at this time afaik and will “only” be seen on sundays in the regular show.
you know…work? the thing your dad hopefully does?
Okay okay. No need to act like an douche. Jesus Christ, i was only kidding you know. I bet you are wearing a ascot LMAO.
so what is making you think im not joking? is your dad srsly unemployed? if so i´m not sorry.
anyway i´m currently wearing an ascot yes but you forgot my tophat and my monocle.
I HAVE THE PERFECT TITLE
Video Games FLAWSome!
You can send royalties to … some place.
EDIT : LEETPROHAXXORGAMEGUYPWNEXTREEEME
I was thinking about the name: Everyday Awesome. But thats just me.
Mine grew 4 almost 5 inches when watching this live. Thanks VGA! (not a paid actor)
If your goal is to completely engulf the BT video slider, you’re very close to doing so
It’s not the goal, but I suppose that is the effect. :S A combination of a slow BT release week and our first week of daily episodes!
Watched this one live and I couldn’t stop laughing. Very enjoyable episode and it’s great to see you guys live more often now.
