![]() ![]() In those games, you have a somewhat arbitrary measurement of your ability to talk to people, and if that number is high enough, it unlocks the “just get everything you want” dialogue option. What I love about this is that the game doesn’t have some sort of arbitrary “conversation” skill, like Mass Effect or Fallout. With this information, it’s up to the player to use that information to try and bend the conversation in their favor. In these scenes, on top of the dialogue and your responses, the player is given a readout of the NPCs mood, their personality traits, and a dossier of their personality quirks (all justified by the player character, Adam Jensen, having augmentations in his skull that boost his social abilities). It’s usually a pretty standard dialogue system affair, but there are key NPCs that you need to talk to, always in order to get something out of them, that launch the game’s “real” dialogue system. This leads me to Human Revolution‘s dialogue system, which I really enjoy. On top of that, sometimes sneaking isn’t required, and you can simply talk your way out of situations. I especially like how varied your options are even within the duality of “loud” or “sneaky”: you can be a silent assassin, hack a bunch of turrets to do your job for you, quietly knock out the guards in your path, very loudly knock out the guards in your path, or sneak on through without touching a fly. I’m a big fan of immersive sims, and the game offers a great deal of variety in how you deal with the assorted obstacles it puts forward. So, I’m in the process of finishing up Deus Ex: Human Revolution after bouncing off of it the first time, and I’m really enjoying myself. The automatic regenerating health system (which doesn't even consume energy) also rendered painkillers and other healing items useless for me as a stealth character, it was rare that I ever took damage, anyway, but it was always easy enough to just find cover long enough to heal back to full.Ī Link Between Worlds (1) Afrika (1) Aliens vs Predator (1) Alpha Protocol (1) Amnesia (2) Arcania (1) Arcanum (1) Armello (1) Arx Fatalis (1) Assassins Creed (2) Bastion (2) Ben There Dan That (1) BioShock (4) Bloodborne (2) Board Game (8) Borderlands (9) Bulletstorm (1) Chivalry: Medieval Warfare (1) Condemned 2 (1) Conker's Bad Fur Day (1) Cryostasis (1) Dark Souls (11) Darksiders (1) Day Z (6) Dead Space (1) Deadly Premonition (1) Dear Esther (2) Demon's Souls (2) Deus Ex (1) Devil May Cry (1) Dishonored (1) Doom (1) Dragon Age (3) Dragon's Crown (1) Dragon's Dogma (1) DreadOut (1) Editorial (55) Eldritch Horror (1) Elex (5) Evoland (1) Fallen Earth (1) Fallout (6) FEAR (1) Final Fantasy (3) Five Nights at Freddy's (1) Folklore (1) Forbidden Desert (1) Forge (1) Free (36) Get Even (1) Gothic (12) Gravity Rush (1) Great Games You Never Played (22) Grotesque Tactics (1) Guild Wars (2) Half-Life (2) Horizon Zero Dawn (1) Impressions (27) Indie (47) Journey (1) Killing Floor (8) Killzone: Mercenary (1) Kingdoms of Amalur (2) L.A.// Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mass Effect spoilers follow They've added a new mechanic where you can double your maximum health by taking combinations of painkillers and alcohol (a counter-intuitive mixture which might prove fatal in real life), but this really isn't as interesting. In DXHR, you just get one universal health bar with none of the fun nuances of the original system. Damage to your head and arms affected your accuracy if you lost your arms you couldn't pick up and carry objects if you lost your legs, you had to crawl along the ground in a crouch position, until you healed your limbs. Too much damage to the head or torso was fatal, but you could effectively lose both arms and legs. You could suffer damage to any limb, which affected your performance in different ways. It used to be that you had individual health meters for your head, torso, each arm, and each leg. Persuading a bartender for some informationįurther continuing the trend or removing gameplay features, DXHR also does away with DX1's brilliant health and damage system. ![]()
