If anyone can make an epic FPS, id will do it. I've seen enough footage and interviews to know that these motherfuckers know what they're doing.
The E3 video looks way too scripted. Bethesda's newest video release is epic win and looks like natural gameplay:

The original game is the sequel. That's also the thing with Deus Ex games: you don't see what happens to the world afterward (actually. the original game and Invisible War are a good way of seeing what happens to the world), you have to infer it based on the descriptions of the endings you pick and the cinematic that you see. You have to decide for yourself what's right and what's wrong, and Jensen will respond to the ending based on the values you led him with. These games have resulted in a lot of introspection for me because I like to play as honestly as possible and make decisions based on my values (until I play again just to see what i missed).

Also I'm trying to play the game on the hardest difficulty - Lethal/Non-Lethal depending on the situation. Any tips on what Augmentations should I get first?
I consider hacking the most valuable, so if you take my advice you should max your hacking level to 5 (this can be done right at the beginning while you're in Detroit). Then, lower your chance of being spotted in a hack and then finally max out your fortification. The hacking info is useless, and you don't really need turret or bot domination at the start (think about it when you get to china). After that, depending on how you play you'll probably want to put points into dermal plating or cloaking. The eye augs aren't that useful, but smart vision helps. The reflex aug makes things a lot easier. Silent running will complement cloaking. The aim aug is best for sniping. The battery and inventory augs are your problem.
I heard the speech aug lets you bypass side missions, but why would you want that? Try to milk this game for as much xp as possible (e.g., knock people out, hack everything even if you have the code/pass) and you'll be rolling in almost all of the augs by the end of the game.
The persuasion challenges (just something more to render the speech aug useless):

I also have an empire and these are my bitches:

They call me Augustus. Tell der fuhrer I haven't seen Kyle.

Don't hurt me for asking, but has anyone found the FFXXVII poster in the game? :PThat's the most obvious easter egg. If it wasn't noticed, what a shame that would be.
It's so easy to make money that there's no point in doing that. The moment I saw that I could sell my shit to people, the first thing I though of was, "Oh, exploitable." Shotgunfags are awesome. Free 750 credits. Pistols are a waste of space; not worth selling.

Most likely. Shit takes up too much space and sucks as a weapon, even against those box bots. Two EMP grenades fucks them up.
Also, I hope you are all aware of Adam Jensen's signature move: the Augmented Pimp Slap.
Bitches never learn.

I was extremely skeptical about this game at first. It’s a difficult task trying to live up to what I consider the best game I’ve ever played. This game is not better than the original, or as good, but it sure comes fucking close. This game definitely brings a lot of shit to the table: huge immersive environments with attention to detail and people that act like people (someone you can empathize with/feel for), a good story with an ending that not only assured the player of the importance of their mission but presents the player with choices that challenge them on an intellectual level and have worldwide implications, smooth gameplay, and most importantly, a character that I don’t fucking hate. I didn’t really hate Alex D., but I did think he was an uncool faggot who I would’ve traded any day to get back the totally cool, non-faggot JC Denton. After Invisible War left its “universal ammo” feces on the Deus Ex name, this game cleaned that shit right up, bringing back normal god damn ammo and the cool weapon mod system the original game had (IW had a horrible one), and a wider selection of augmentations. Speaking of which, this game just combined skills and augs. I can tolerate letting go of the skill system in the original game for the XP system in this one.
This main character is chill. He may speak like JC, but he does show emotion and has a personality (not to imply JC didn’t have one). I love how the developers added a conversation system into this game (the shops were a nice extra). It reminded me of games like Mass Effect and Fallout 3 where one can investigate further and gather information. I’m the type of person who loves to gather information, so the e-mails and newspapers were a pleasant sight. The developers made the game extra awesome by giving details on anything one happens to pick up and examine and bullshit explanations about how the augmentations function. The hacking was also awesome, and it is way more engaging than the hacking in the original game, which was fucking boring. I enjoyed the wide array of weaponry and the detail the developers put into them. Since on my first run I was going stealthy, I didn’t carry any heavy assault equipment on me. I carried a stun gun, revolver, tranq. rifle, and a fully pimped out pistol. The combat in this game is way more complex and fun than in the original, but the cinematic takedowns were just fucking weird. Try doing it with another enemy (one you’re not engaging) on screen and you’ll see what I mean. The whole aiming down iron sights thing makes this game feel like a proper fps. I can understand the necessity for the 3rd person cover system since it would be overkill to have to peek out just to get the gist of what’s going on around you. This is because peeking out is a good way to get shot. Also, it’s interesting how 100 HP is only half your health, so the (slow) health regeneration doesn’t make it that convenient for the player.
This game may not be Killzone or Crysis 2, but the graphics didn’t suck. Nothing was taken away from my experience just because some objects weren’t as detailed as others. I remember complaining about the highlights and the on-screen objective indicator, but they can be turned off; if you play on “Give Me Deus Ex” mode, I believe they are automatically turned off for you, showing that the developers do understand that the original game did not hold the player’s hand. The animations were a bit weird and lip sync was off sometimes, but that’s just trivial shit. The main problem I have with this game is that it fucks up continuity. The world is very advanced and there plenty of things that are more high tech than what we were shown in the future (i.e., the original Deus Ex). While DX had normal books, Human Revolution had e-books that look like a piece of glass. While DX had newspapers, HR had news on some black electronic shit that looks as thin as a sheet of paper. In HR you put in a code on a touch pad, while in DX you have to press buttons. Where did all this great technology go?
I’m not sure yet since I haven’t gotten my hands on Skyrim, but so far this is the best game to have come out this year. I give this motherfucker a 9.5/10. This is mostly because the ending(s) wasn’t (weren’t) as epic as the original’s. I didn’t really feel much here, whereas the original’s endings were emotionally impacting and beautiful, made especially epic by a philosophical quote right after the final cinematic. (It was all dramatic and shit.)
Edit: I forgot about the music. Deus Ex had the best original soundtrack ever. Human Revolution had dick. It only plays a track during cutscenes and firefights. Other than that, there's a little whisper of music in the background. Fucking lame. The only good track this game has going for it is Icarus.
tl;dr? You're a faggot who should stop skipping the end credits.
