'Public Hygiene Bonus' for flushing dirty toilets, I remember yeah. That's from the Shifter mod though, not the original game.
It was the same way in DX1. Honestly I like it, I feel more rewarded and like I'm actually progressing.
'Exploration bonus' points were in vanilla DX1, but points for killing/knocking out enemies is a Shifter feature.
Why would anyone region lock a game in the first place? :huh:
I'm not sure. I guess they'd earn more money if all Europeans would buy the game in euros rather than importing it from England for 33% less.
After the debacle that was Invisible war, i was expecting the third iteration in the series to be the final nail in its coffin.
Believe me, when some of the first details they announced were 'it has regenerating health and cover based stealth in third person and no skill system' I thought exactly the same.
I pre-ordered Human Revolution for my PS3 and I plan on playing the first Deus Ex, but thus far, I have no experience with the series. I've already gotten estimates from others, but assuming I'm the type to explore my surroundings for fun, how long would the original Deus and/or Human Revolution last me... assuming I only play one playthrough? I may try more than one playthrough, but the really fun stuff is, in my opinion, only really during the first playthrough, so that's what I'm most concerned about. Also, is Invisible War really so bad that I should never even try it?
My last Deus Ex playthrough lasted around 20 hours, but I was doing a stealthy approach all the time and exploring a lot so that takes longer. On the other hand, that was like the 6th playthrough and you always go through things faster when you replay a game.
No idea how long HR will be, but it should be pretty long.
DX1 is not the kind of game I'd recommend playing through only once though, since you'll never find everything in your first. And finding new things is awesome. But it's your choice.
