Game News Deus Ex: Human Revolution is the Hardcore RPG You Want

<p>According to OXM the RPG genre has gone "soft" as of late. Lucky for us <strong>Deus Ex: Human Revolution</strong> (and Skyrim of course) is about to <a href="http://www.oxm.co.uk/32333/features/seven-reasons-deus-ex-human-revolution-is-the-hardcore-rpg-youre-waiting-for/" target="_blank">reverse that trend</a>. The first of seven reasons:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>1. It hits you with consequences straight off the bat</strong></p>
<p><br />Shortly after Adam Jensen's near-death and cybernetic full-body makeover, he's summoned back to Sarif Industries HQ to deal with a terrorist threat at a manufacturing plant. Entering the lobby, you're told to get your head straight (literally - Adam's retinal implants are acting up) then come to the helicopter pad. We, however, decided to poke around a bit first - visiting the toilets, studying the parodic Final Fantasy art on an engineer's wall and ducking into a vent shaft to retrieve a credit chip. Result: the situation at the manufacturing plant worsens, and we're bawled out by our boss. Cripes. Human Revolution keeps its eye on you from the get-go.</p>

Wasn't DA2 supposed to HARDCORE RPG too ?

You are mixing it up with the HARDCOCK RPG genre, which specifically aims to emphasize the gay sex component of RPGs.

 

[Excidium]

Well, I'm confused here, because it looks like a fucking FPS from all angles.

 

[l3loodAngel]

Boss yells at you? Fuck yeah thats the consequences we have been crying about.

It'd be pretty hilarious if this one decision locked off the last 10% of the game and prevented you from getting the best ending. I can almost hear the Casual Gamer Rage.

Oh it is. But for reasons only known to seademons, they decided that you can play the game like it were a puzzle adventure. At least that's the intent.

In theory it's like the ultimate game, the only way an oldtime adventures fan like me will get to solve puzzles in a modern game.

It sounds like the situation worsening might actually be a consequence. As in, delay and there are more enemies in the next area or something. In which case DXHR will be more of an RPG than any modern Bioware game.

you take too long -> hostages die -> you no get sekrit discount passphrase for sekrit armsdealer.

 

[Xor]

That's...not terrible. And fuck, this game is an FPS.

Why? Why Final Fantasy? Why not something like Wizardry? Ultima?

Oh.

I'm hoping this game is massively popular, along with Skyrim, and the gaming industry takes note. For me the combination of first-person shooter and role-playing games make an excellent combination. And if that hybrid added the conversational branches of Mass Effect you'd have what I would consider one of the best type of videgames! I hope we're moving towards such games.

So, like when boss chews JC out for walking into the Women's WC?

My 'put impressive stuff early in the game while shitty mid to endgame goes unbitched about by reviewers' sense is sensing something.

Actually, you can do that in Revolution too.

 

[Machocruz]

There are black people, and there are conversation brances. And the conversation branches have gots'ta go!

 

[Mastermind]

And fuck, this game is an FPS.

HOLY SHIT SEQUEL TO A FPS IS A FPS I AM SO SHOCKED AND ANGERED BY THIS SUDDEN TURN OF EVENTS THAT I BROKE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IN MY UNSTOPPABLE RAMPAGE.

Except where is the impressive stuff?

The leaked demo was pretty good.

I think The Witcher 3 will have the hardcore I want.

I'd be surprised if they would actually understand the difference or that a part of game is locked...

 

[Barrow_Bug]

So drunk. Thought I'd weigh in. What up Codex. The game looks very 'good for what it is'. All the fags complaining, haven't played the leak. All the Old Fags have said the same thing: play the fucking leak. They'll be the first to say it sucks. The only thing? It kinda doesn't.

Also, Xor, you're a fucking idiot for that FPS is an FPS OMGAWD WHY IS IT AN FPS WAAAAHHHH. Cunt.
