Back during my undergraduate degree, one of my courses involved ethics in medical research, so I do hold my own opinions about what is and is not ethical. Set right on the eve of a major scientific conference, many themes about transhumanism and research ethics come into play here. I suppose it’s time I actually started this game, and so, exactly a month ago, on a rainy afternoon, I finally opened the game for the first time and sat through the opening cinematics, which introduced the Typhoon weapon system.
This ultimately kicks off Deus Ex: Human Revolution as Jensen delves deeper into the investigation behind who was responsible for the attacks on Sarif that left him injured, questions arise as to whether or not augmentation is truly something humanity should pursue. The conflicts in the game stem largely from shadowy organisations going up against mega-corporations, protesting human augmentation as a violation of the natural order. The question that invariably comes to the forefront of all discussion would be the ethical implications behind human augmentation and transhumanism. Whether it be the dialogue (and options to have Jensen respond differently), the conversations between various NPCs, newspapers, pocket secretaries or eBooks, the world in Deus Ex: Human Revolution is incredibly rich in detail and story. In the next few hours, I familiarised myself with the game’s mechanics and found myself at awe with just how much depth there is in the game. After the opening scenes rolled, I would take on the role of Adam Jensen, a security officer for Sarif Industries who is mortally wounded at the game’s beginning and is subsequently brought back to life with an array of augmentations. AND.Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a title I had picked up last year during the Steam Summer Sale, but only got around to playing it properly at June’s closing. This was the most fun for me, and so i didn't see a role at all for nonlethals. I could silently kill up close w/ the 10mm or pick off snipers w/ the crossbow without detection, but if i got in trouble or just saw strength as a simple solution i went loud as hell. I ignored all shooting augs and got mostly hacking and any augs that would give me a new route to take (gas immunity, icarus landing system, picking up heavy stuff, etc.) So i used old fashioned smarts and stealth as well as hacking and side routes. My playstyle used all the stealth skills i've learned from splinter cell and the like WITHOUT most of the stealth upgrades and invisibility. Not using the badass (and well designed, imo) weapons would make me miss out on all those cool moments i had. I really don't like the nonlethal weapons. When i found the laser i was stoked because it looked like it would be really powerful but i was completely underwhelmed when i used it. I remember nailing an armored guard's head to a wall and watching him hang from the bolt, a morbidly awesome little detail. And it was a nice touch how the enemies dont die instantly when you crossbow them they kind of writhe on the ground in pain for a few seconds.
#Deus ex human revolution shotgun upgrade#
I passed on the sniper and went for the crossbow, and picking off enemy snipers from long distances using the lead targeting assist upgrade was really satisfying. Doesn't one shot everything unupgraded, but it sounds like it packs a punch and i like the reload animation. I remember getting a shotgun by hacking into a police officer's computer and finding out what room it was stored in, so it felt really special to get a weapon that powerful in what seemed like an early part of the game. The animation when he pulls it out is badass, too reminds me of the halo 1 pistol. Just go sam fisher style (conviction-era, mostly) and pop heads when you need to. Then its the perfect weapon for any warehouse/office/enemy base with tons of guards.
The 10 mm pistol seemed really lame.until you upgrade it fully. I completely ignored the combat rifle and machine pistol, i've used enough of those in other fpses.
I got the revolver at the start of the game and loved it, such a badass weapon, especially when you upgrade the rounds to EXPLODING BULLETS! I had that holstered whenever i was walking around the cities in case some thugs tried to threaten me.
