WARNING! Anger and rage rant ahead. Avoid if necessary.
Jeezus! I've already read through the same crap about ten million times. What makes you think your opinion is the one I care more about? Is it going to "lift the veil" clouding my judgement?
No.
End of WARNING (and hypocrisy.)
I like the demo. It's fun. Enjoyable. I recognize the problems I have with it but then again, I had a crap load of problems with DX1, also.
So it is in my full confidence that Deus ex 2 will be one of my favorite games for years to come.
I don't care about universal ammo or a lot of the other crap you people complain about.
For me, this game needs to hit and hit well on two categories. This doesn't mean that it can suck at everything else, don't be simple. But from what I experienced in the demo, I don't think I'll worry too much. Anyways, back to topic.
1) A great, involving story. One I can appreciate and one that is even better than the first (which had a few problems, I admit.)
2) Graphics. I consider myself an artist and need to be satisfied visually, especially in games. I contend that what we saw in the demo was not the limit nor quality that we can expect from the full version. I didn't mind the demo's looks overall, but in my opinion, it could've have been better.
Ah, crap. I'm not even sure why I posted or what the hell I was talking about.
Oh, yeah.
I just want to enjoy the game, and I can do that without 16 different ammo types or a regular font size.
Leaning- Sure, I liked having it and used it frequently. It was a luxury I enjoyed but it's not something I think will ruin the game.
A.I.- Okay, issues here. I don't think we'll be seeing the same *****ty responses in the real game, though.
Hud- I think it's awesome. A little close, but that's fixable.
Textures- I say it was done to conserve space, though, again I can't be sure.
Low FPS- It was a little slow on my machine which made me puzzled. I can run Max Payne 2 on high without breaking a sweat so why is this running so slowly? I am not a computer person, so I couldn't answer that. I just hope that the problem is remedied before or shortly after launch if at all possible. It didn't bother me too much, just frustrating at times.
Demo rating: 8.2/10
Concept exceptional. Just a few things need to be panned out.
Estimated game rating: 9.0/10
I think it will be superb. Especially the story, which is what I'm hoping for.
