Deus Ex: Human Revolution Review | The Controller Online

The Controller Online writes: "The third entry in the Deus Ex series has been a long time coming, but the wait is finally over. It would be hard not to have heard about Human Revolution in some manner before now. With all the videos, developer diaries, screenshots and previews it would also be hard not to be excited for this game. But did Eidos Montreal show us all they had to offer in the previews? The straight answer is no. Deus Ex: Human Revolution stuns you visually, gets you addicted to the gameplay and sucks you into an intriguing world that is dealing with issues that might not be too far off from our own."

WOW, this game is looking to be phenomenal! Look at the scores...can't wait to get it tomorrow.

LOGICWINS4628d ago

Your getting it based off "scores"...as in other peoples opinions?

-MD-4628d ago

That's usually what a review is for.

LOGICWINS4628d ago

Er..I've never gotten a game based off another person's opinion before. A bit confusing to be honest since you don't know if the person reviewing the game has the same likes/dislikes that you do.

But if it works for you, then more power to you.

JoGam4628d ago (Edited 4628d ago )

He never said why he was buying it? Read it slow. He could have had the game on reserve for months now. He may just be happy the game is getting good reviews. Stop looking at it as a negative.

EDIT: Your second comment Logic sounds as if you found him guilty for it.
I'm not trying to argue, just saying don't look at it in a negative. Cmon now you did. Tell the truth.

LOGICWINS4628d ago (Edited 4628d ago )

"He never said why he was buying it? Read it slow."

Ummm...which is why I questioned him with the question:

"Your getting it based off "scores"...as in other peoples opinions?"

I was just curious if he was buying the game solely because of a review score...if anyones being negative, its you. What have I said thats negative????

Solidus187-SCMilk4628d ago

doesnt matter why, as long as he gets it Ill be happy.

I would buy this no matter what because the first is one of my favorite games Ive ever played, but seeing a bunch of great scores sure makes me happy. the second game wasnt as good, but was Ok, but this 3rd one looks like it could be great like the first.

MOTY4628d ago (Edited 4628d ago )

@ LOGICWINS

So you purchase goods and services without doing ANY kind of research to see if the product or service you are paying for is worth your money?

Are you also saying that you don't take other peoples opinions as creditable? How many doctors do you go to when you need a doctors opinion on what ails you? Do you just assume you know what disease you have and treat yourself?

What about when it comes time to buy a car? Do you do your research to see if the car is safe or how it is on gas?

People doing their "homework" to determine if a product or service is worth their hard earned money is a common practice. A practice that has been taken more serioulsy due to the hardships that occured over the last couple of years. My hats off to those that research a game before buying it. It shows that money holds value to them thus READ the reviews made by unbias reviewers.

A fool and his money are parted easily, Your "logic" would seem to insinuate that you are a fool.

The og deus ex is magical. Im also very exited about mass effect legendary edition from the gp. Its next on my playlist never played mass effect game before.

IamTylerDurden1353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Never played ME? It's imo the greatest trilogy of all-time and perhaps the best setting outside maybe Fallout. Play it. Great DLC as well. In 2 & 3 at least. Skip Andromeda. Also, Human Revolution was great as well even if OG fans claim otherwise.

shinoff2183353d ago

Mass effect 1 was great. I feel they dumbed down alot on the 2nd one and seemed more action like. Mass effect 1 the citadel was an explorable city. Far as I got in Mass effect 2 it was reduced to a location list no traveling through it. I disliked it alot(the citadel) part. I also feel they went more action oriented then rpg

just_looken353d ago

It always makes me mad when you see something you have done in the first mass effect or dragon age can make something change in the 3rd because bioware make 6 games in what 8 years? that did this but today 0 games do this.

I wish we had trilogies today were we can share saves and have multiple endings/path's on all 3 because of choices from anyone of them.

Its so funny being the bad sheparad from one to 3 then the end having just you and joker ha ha yet everyone is like hey your a hero with a 90% casualty rate.

CBaoth352d ago

Fallout can't hold Mass Effect's jockstrap. The one Fallout even in the ballpark is 3, and that's only because the DLC was extremely good. When Ken Rolston was in Bethesda's employment were they good. That's about it. They're now the world's greatest copy/paste developer out there. Bioware at their pinnacle was ten times better a studio than Todd's team. Go look up the games

IamTylerDurden1352d ago

Mass Effect is my favorite, followed by 2 and 3. Yes, ME2 was dumbed down but also refined in terms of polish and accessibility. ME2 had an awesome story, great DLC, and a solid cast. Mordin in particular. It's a great game. Even 3 which was the weakest was still solid imo despite the ending. If u love ME how do u not enjoy all 3?

Fallout is not a better game though FO3 was great. In terms of setting though Fallout is Mt Rushmore. The 50's post apoc setting was brbrilliant. I still put ME setting n lore above but FO is up there with setting.

Man play mass effect, best games ever

Miraak82 353d ago

Xenogears is my fav sci fi rpg

closed_account352d ago

Right? There's a serious lack of classics on this list.

The original 2 Star Oceans. Rogue Galaxy...

IamTylerDurden1352d ago

Rogue Galaxy never got that critical love. Beautiful PS2 game. Was it L5?

closed_account351d ago

@IamTylerDurden1 Yep, Level5. Love their stuff. Dark Cloud 3 please...

Godmars290353d ago

Why aren't there more? A Star Trek RPG for one. Or something with non humanoid aliens?

shinoff2183353d ago

Cause for some damn reason medieval is more popular ugghhh. I'd take some sci fi sh anyway over it. I've said time and time again I hope the elden guys are working on a sci fi type game.

Godmars290353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Something non-post apocalypse or dystopian. Just world saving. Fighting bad guys while doing good and dealing with ethical/moral/psychological quandaries.

sadraiden352d ago

The reason why fantasy RPGs, and Fantasy as a genre, are more popular than Sci-Fi, is because of the low technology/high magic tropes. If all of your problems can be solved with looking up the answer on a smartphone, well, there's just lower stakes than if a character has to have a sword fight, and climb the tower, and rescue the fair princess and recite the ancient incantation to seal the evil.

Obviously you can have universe ending stakes in Sci-Fi, but that requires abstract reasoning, and an ability to RP in a way that is progressive instead of regressive. Couple that with Sci-Fi games and media generally being faster paced, and you've got a genre that attracts a very specific demographic of gamers.

just_looken353d ago

or go crazy and make a starship troopers rpg can you survive the bug fight?

The animated show was great showed what someone can do with the lore.

Fist4achin352d ago

A Starship Troopers game as a real time strategy like the command and conquer series would be awesome.

just_looken352d ago

@fist

We have that today but its a small team with a smal budget
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Its not a major rts sadly but a start

jznrpg353d ago

I really hope Naughty Dog is doing a Sci-Fi game. As a lover all most things RPG I would love to see Naughty Dog quality in an RPG.

porkChop353d ago

They could do some really great stuff with sci-fi. The sense of grand adventure of Uncharted, but also with the stealth and crafting of The Last of Us. Different planets, creative alien races, collecting junk to craft repairs and upgrades for your ship and weapons, etc.

shinoff2183353d ago

Porkchop

Your getting me excited for something that doesn't exist. Damn

shinoff2183353d ago

He'll yea , hope we here something about that if they are. I'm not to worried about factions at all

just_looken353d ago

If it was the old naughty dog i would want that the new naughty dog no thanks.

IamTylerDurden1352d ago (Edited 352d ago )

TLOU2 is the finest game ND has made. U4 was fantastic. New ND is a more impressive ND. I don't rate Crash n Jak like i do Uncharted and TLOU. Even Uncharted 1 and 3 were not as well crafted as TLOU, TLOU2, U4 imo. Idc if ppl troll TLOU2, most ppl are clueless, that game was incredibly impressive.

TLOU2 combat, visuals, and acting were the best of the genre. I found the story deeper and more profound than most but it's subjective. The level design was excellent also. The score. Audio. Animation. It was a masterpiece to me. The rope physics, detail. TLOU2 deserved Elden Ring scores and ER deserved TLOU2 scores. If any game deserved 97 in recent years it's TLOU2. Best game i ever played and if ppl come with Abby bs i already know it's not worth it. Those who call TLOU2 trash are foolish. Just look at it running...

I'm sure R* knows the Nintendo Switch install base and probably dont really care to port over more R* games to the Nintendo Switch tho i gotta say playing GTA4 & RDR1 on the go on the Nintendo Switch would be dope

Knightofelemia652d ago

I would buy Lollipop Chainsaw, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved, Splatter House, Brutal Legends, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space for sure if they were ported to the Switch.

Mobis-New-Nest652d ago

Deus Ex Human Revolution would be a great title to The Holy Grail of All Consoles aka The Nintendo Switch*. Also Haze Remastered, Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 Remastered, Silent Hill HD Collection, Max Payne 3 Remastered, Call of Duty World At War Remastered, The Orange Box Remastered, Halo Master Chief Collection, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 Remastered, Metal Gear Solid 4 Remastered, Afro Samurai Remastered, Demons Souls Remastered, Xmen Destiny Remastered, Jack and Daxter Collection, Def Jam Icon Remake, Folklore Remastered, Spiderman Edge of Time Remastered, Persona 5 remastered, the list goes on. (*Best Selling Console of All Time)

MontyeKristo652d ago (Edited 652d ago )

Can we just get a Bully 2? 😒

iplay1up2652d ago

Seriously? Isn't it time Nintendo make a Switch successor? I mean they have the sales and money.
