Deus Ex : Human Revolution

How cool is this game but also infuriating?

Really makes you think but if you are seen you die so easily and the augmented enemies can take so many shots (unless in the head).

I am loving it just feel like throwing the controller at the screen sometimes!

Yeah, but it's a PC game at heart (even on the consoles) so just quicksave your way through it

I've only just fought the first boss, I'm finding it hard to keep my interest up for long, partly because I'm trying to make it through without setting off any alarms which is very hard.

The first boss, incidentally, is just as bad as they said. Even once I figured out what to do it took several more tries.

So far my favourite thing has been the Detroit city hub, it's very well done.

I made a silly video while playing, incidentally:

I know the alarms are ridiculous, I haven't got to the first boss yet, I am still on the first part where you have to infiltrate the compound and find the merc leader. I only play it for half hour or so at a time as i have young children who i wait to go to bed.

I would still be no track for having not killed anyone either, except for the fact you're given an SMG in the prologue and told to go kill people, and from what I've heard you might or might not have that counted against you for the achievement. Certainly I just non-lethal takedown most people, and tranq rifle those who are out of reach.

From what i remember in the prologue you are if you want to use force and if you want a long or short range weapon, I kill most people, just coz i can and easier than sneaking draws a lot more attention tho. I Stupidly dropped my Tranq Rifle and Tazer thingy in the Detroit city area. So now I only have really loud weapons like pistol, SMG, Sniper Rifle and RPG oh and a machine pistol.

First silencer isn't until you get to Shanghai. Oh, and since you can only carry one of each weapon, leave spares behind for later. I made dozens of trips between the police armoury/slums and the arms dealer in the abandoned gas station in Detroit to sell shotguns and combat rifles, got over 10 grand now.

Do they actually stay on the floor then, I been picking em all up coz I wasn't sure, was also wondering how do get your credits up quicker. Praxxis points could do with being more regular aswell.

They must do, from what I recall there were four combat rifles and a stungun in the police armoury. Also the two drug dealers in the slums had guns, which stayed while I wandered around doing other stuff. One of the things the old Deus Ex was known for (not least of all because it caused huge savegames) was that it would remember where you'd left everything. I haven't tested this too hard in HR yet but yeah, they should stay where they were dropped.

Cash will cease to be an issue later on or so I'm told, but you might as well get those two Praxis points once
you get to Detroit, right? You're lucky that you're not even in the city itself yet so you can start collecting guns right away.

Oh, and another cool tip: if someone asks for a bribe for information, just pay them. Then, when nobody's looking, punch their lights out and reclaim your money

I will try that then, i take it if you collect the weapon you just get more ammo normally or you can sell you current and pick up new one.

LMAO at your last tip, that is a plan.
