Deus Ex: Human Revolution Thread (merged)

Yeah, as much as I'm looking forward to this game (and I am really looking forward to it) I'm actually kind of relieved that it's delayed.  Q1 2011 is already packed.

This was also coming the same day Dragon Age II was hitting, which was just a few weeks after an onslaught of portable games is set to occur. I REALLY don't mind waiting on this game.

[PaleRobbie]

I doubt we'll see this title before the Fall of 2011....

Now now, summer's very possible! And by summer I mean near the end of August or September, not June or July. So it would be falling into the general Holiday 2011 area for video game releases.

Actually, that time frame would be quite nice, it'd be out in time for my birthday!

I would love, love a summer release. More time for me to play it. :)

[bigdeath]

This delay is fine with me. March is already packed as is with the witcher 2 and DA2

[kyuusei]

Witcher 2 is May.

[Eusis]

Well, with Trails in the Sky it's still packed for those who were planning to get that.

[bigdeath]

Witcher 2 is May.

Close enough. Rather see Deus EX 3 sometime this summer.

It's possible a summer release would actually be CLOSER to the Witcher 2 than not, though I guess that still has the three games better spaced out.

As long as it's not too close to Innocent Sin.

As long as I can do a nonlethal stealth playthrough, I'll be happy. I just beat the first one for the first time last week and HU-DAMN. awesome game.

i cant get into fps/rpg hybrids. to me the first person perspective misses the point of an rpg.

[Eusis]

to me the first person perspective misses the point of an rpg.

Two things:

1. RPG means Role Playing Game. getting into a role and first person is a logical extension, even if it's hardly necessary.

2. Many of the earliest RPGs used a first person perspective at some point. Seeing as how they helped establish the genre and almost all RPGs can be traced back to them it'd arguably render the term completely moot outside of Pen & Paper.
