In my opinion, this only served to make JC Denton kind of vapid and boring, and detached from the game. JC Denton's personality was intentionally made as blank and generic as possible, so that the player could insert his own feelings and responses. Adam Jensen, in addition to having a much more badass appearance, is much more in sync with the story and is able to interact with the characters on a level that comes close to basic RPG roleplaying. When the public can't take the atmosphere of paranoia and disinformation they live in, they break into riots and start what comes close to a localized civil war, between the authorities, and the common folk who inhabit the city.Īnother improvement on the original Deus Ex was the protagonist himself. Society itself has very mixed reactions to the idea of people voluntarily cutting off their limbs and replacing them with prosthetics - from fanatical cult following, to outrage and fear. They change a person's life, the way he is perceived by other people, his place in society. In Human Revolution, augmentations change everything. What does this mean to the protagonist and the world around him? Well, he's got a few freaky blue veins, aside from that - nothing. When the plot/gameplay needs JC Denton to have this or that super-power, he just has it. In Deus Ex, the protagonists's augmentations were based on nanotechnology.
I think Human Revolution handled this issue perfectly, certainly far better than the original Deus Ex, or even Ghost in the Shell itself (or at least, the first half of the first season - I got too bored to watch it to the end).
As far as this plot-point goes, I love it.
This creates a number of philosophical, cultural, societal and political problems that are more or less central to the game's plot and mood, and obviously borrows much from Ghost in the Shell anime. Would have been better for the game to take note of the weapons I hold in my inventory/use on a constant basis, and only generate ammo for these weapons.Īs you know, Human Revolution is set in 2027, 25 years before the original Deus Ex, in the era of mechanical augmentations, such as prosthetic limbs, and other implants that require highly invasive surgery and/or amputation of biological organs. The only clutter-loot that remains are weapons and ammo packs, which are almost always useless to my pacifist-ghost stealth player. Human Revolution dealt away with much of the clutter and implausible interface elements that plagued Deus Ex - no more useless hazmat suits, no more electronic devices or nano-lockpicks that are thrown out after one use, no more medkits or energy cells. Unlocking a new augmentation always feels like a substantial reward that substantially enhances your playthrough, without making it feel too easy, or broken. The "roleplaying" system of the game has changed in two major ways - the skill system got nuked, and the augmentation tree was made much more extensive and interesting to browse in search of the right augmentation to take - at least, in the first half of the game. A solid, lengthy, and well-crafted action/shooter with nominal RPG elements, that can accommodate a great variety of gaming styles - from full-on frontal assault, to creeping in the shadows and taking out enemies with a tranquilizer gun. Human Revolution is a prequel to the original Deus Ex, so I doubt I'm missing anything by skipping the sequel.
#DEUS EX HUMAN REVOLUTION TRANQUILIZER RIFLE AMMO INSTALL#
I played the original Deus Sex about half a dozen times, and I've never played Deus Ex: Invisible War because it won't install properly on my PC - hardware too advanced, or some such nonsense.
I've finally gotten around to playing the third installment in the famous cyber-punk Deus Ex action game with RPG elements series.
