Deus Ex Human Revolution so far


Well this came on Fiday even though I had fears that it might not turn up on the day of launch.

I can see why some have been negative (mainly positive mind) as so far as I haven't been that fussed on it, but I'm hoping it gets a little bit better.

The fighting in it feels quite bland after you have done a couple of the takedowns and there are far too many cut scenes, almost to the scale of a Metal Gear Solid game which isn't my thing at all.
The area's don't offer the ammount of freedom as suggested by the makers and don't feel like a natural area...just feel like a game of about 3-5 years ago.

I think games that have offered worlds that have been impressive are Mass Effect 2, Red Dead Redemption, Asassins Creed 2 and LA Noire with this being no where near their standard.
Leveling up in this game is good with the augmentations and weapons, it also makes you look for ammo and guns as you run out quickly if you decide to fight making your actions to engage in the enemy possibly costly later on in the mission.

I think 8.8ish is fair from what I have played so far and I can't see this being my GOTY and can't see myself wanting to play it again after I have completed the story.


First post!!!

A new blog and new start for another hobby of mine, well part time one for me which is video games. If you can't guess the quote from which the blog is named after shame on you but here is a clue.




Anyway I hope you enjoy the blog and I hope to post now and again about what ever is on my mind about video games.
