I guess I was in the minority as I did'nt really care for the game. I only played a quarter of the game and traded it in.

I will pick it up if it ever comes out to $29.99-$39.99.(3rd party games should either be 8.0+ or a AAA exclusive to be worth $60 on the Wii U). BTW is this another FPS?


No, it's isn't another FPS. It has some role playing elements, but it can be played three ways; total shoot'm up through the game, or total stealth through the game where you get achievements (or whatever the Wii styled cheevos offer) for completing the game within certain parameters, and it's hard to do as well. Then there's a combination of the two. If you have a PC, I would recommend playing the fiast Deus Ex, as it can be played on a low end PC and it can be gotten for real cheap; if you can get past older graphics, the gameplay and story is very good.


You forgot lots of styles to go through this game. My personal favourite: as a hacker pacifist who goes running straight to where enemies are (screw stealth) and punch 'em in the face while eating lots of energy bars. =P

There are only three styles in DE:R, stealth, shooting and a mix of the two. Hacking is an imperative in the game, it isn't like you get to play that aspect by choice. Unlike the Splinter Cell games where you have a few options to get past certain barriers other than hacking (as an example), DE:R doesn't offer that. What kills DE:R for me is that none of that works well if you can't advance skills by doing things other than just being stealthy. Many games have hacking abilities but reward you for doing it without having to also do stealth to increase other skills.


Hacking is not imperative except for the very first terminal, which is mandatory in order to learn how to properly hack. My first playthrough was without leveling hacking, and there was no barrier (except for a side-quest which level 3 of hacking was needed) for my character because of it through the whole game. You don't need to be stealthy to advance skills.

thanks for all those who responded (you too crazy-man).  so from what I digest, this game could be interesting and with the Wii U being the definitive/ultimate version (from all the improvements written down it points to it anyways) it's well worth the purchase.  I will still wait for it to go sub-$30 (just like NFS:MW it's $30 at EA.com) before taking the plunge.

I tried to play the first game, but i couldn't even get through the first level, I definitely couldn't get past the terrible graphics! Also, I found it just impossible to shoot anyone as I didn't have any shooting skills


Well hopefully with the upgrade it can be polished a bit.  So how dated are the graphics on this thing 360 wise?  Do you think the polish in visuals will be enough to make bring it up to par with what's out there right now?  Anyways, still gonna pick this up if it is under $30; with the things going on right now (Wii U software drought for 3 months now) Nintendo really needs to cooperate with the UNITY community in order to build a decent enough game library to fill the gaps between releases!!!

I was talking about Deus Ex 1, not Human Revolution!

DE HR looks perfectly good, though it is nothing special graphically, definitely buy this game!

Deus Ex Wii U Is “Even Sharper Than PC Version”, Wii U Features Won’t Come To Other Platforms

Emile Pedneault, who is one of the game designers on the Wii U version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, believes that the game looks even sharper than the PC version. Pedneault was pressed to go into more detail about performance differences, but he would only say that the team had perfectly optimised the game’s engine, and that the Wii U hardware had “helped” with that task. Pedneault also said that they are not looking to incorporate any of the changes created for the Wii U version into the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or PC versions of the game.

“Right now, this is the best-looking Deus Ex. It’s even sharper than the PC version.”

“Pedneault said the team is not currently planning to institute any changes made for the Director’s Cut into the Xbox 360, PS3, or PC versions of the game.”

Siliconera is saying that the game is coming in 2014:

Seems to be a really odd article though, because I didn't see anything about 2014 in the video they linked.

As always it will be Nintendos fault that it doesn't sell well



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)
