For what it's worth, although I have some criticism of both movies (I wish there was more nuance in the character of Wallace from 2049 for example,) a lot of the difference between me and someone who loves the Blade Runner movies is just personal taste. I think it would be possible to argue against the comparison I made between them and those Japanese examples, especially with 2049, because K's character arc is pretty central to that movie - I guess it just didn't really click for me. ctesjbuvf posted... I intend to join in on Dark Souls and Arkham City, but I sprained my thumb less than a week ago and currently can't use it, which is a big deal breaker for most games, so it depends on how fast you are going through Deux Ex. Ah, I see. Get well soon. It's hard to say how long Human Rev will take me, but if you want I can do something to arrange things so that I don't start Dark Souls until a little later, like playing another game early or something. --- It turns out my PC doesn't have the specs to run Human Revolution. Even after turning off all the bells and whistles in the graphics settings I lost so many frames during the opening cutscenes alone that I knew it would be unbearable to go on. I should be able to get the PS3 version in no time, but for now I'll have to make do with only the original Deus Ex, which I've played for a little over an hour so far. My major impression of the game is that it's old as fuck. Aside from the dated graphics, the enemy AI is really ancient and the core mechanics are rough. I've mostly been playing stealthy, which means quicksaving all the time and quickloading the second someone sees you. You have a really close range stun baton that needs ammo and there are theoretically tranquilizer darts too, but as far as I can tell those are completely useless. On Steam, most of my friends who tried this game played for less than an hour. I can see why, because it's not a very accessible game. I had to look up a guide to realize that you can't hack security systems without a specific limited use item that you don't start out with even if you specialize in electronics during character creation. It's a pain to try and figure out the core mechanics when you're in a stealth situation and lingering indecisively for even a few seconds, and it seems like you have to be very methodical about looting to keep yourself stocked on lockpicks and multitools. Some of this will get better with more experience, but I'm convinced the stealth and gunplay mechanics will feel like crap the whole way through, so while I'm going to press on for now my guess is that Deus Ex will be an experience significantly hampered by gameplay that's just not fun. --- I'm playing every game from GotD 2020!
