Deus Ex - Page 2

Just checked and there is an aim assist and it was turned on

Well shooting has improved somewhat, had to adapt to the game style and go for lots of mini ambushes rather than running in all guns blazing (probably rather more realistic

).

I thought I'd give it a quick bash when Miss DL went to bed at 10:30pm, next thing I know it's 5am

so it's certainly got the required addictive component.

The Deus Ex series has tended to be biased towards the slightly stealthier approach rather than all guns blazing, though I hear some reviewers saying they could call this one "Thief 4".

**** me the first boss is annoying. Up to 20 attempts now, I know what I need to do but lack the ability with a 360 controller to do it

Doesn't help that I'm spending more time waiting for it to reload inbetween attempts than I am trying.

I know why they've done it but as a very casual gamer this is the kind of thing that makes me put the controller down and never bother coming back.

EDIT:
well in a truly cowardly move I turned the difficultly down and got him on my 3rd attempt

I gave in...

It's so good, a massive improvement on the sequel, much closer to the original. At least so far. All I've done is Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

persuade Zeke not to kill his hostage

End Spoiler Alert!

I got this from GameSpot for £20.

Its awesome. Really enjoying it - reminding me of Resident Evil with the whole inventory experience, upgrading weapons etc. And the story is fantastic as well.

My only issue now is that Driver got posted today!!

Which moron decided to wreck this game with stupid ******* boss fights?

Seriously.. I'm totally unequipped and unsuited to fighting with a bloody tank. It's absurd.

Duck, run, shoot, hide in room. Repeat ad infinitum. Oh whats that, you were a microsecond too slow? Sorry...

Fun isn't it, as I said above I ended up turning the difficulty down for the boss and then straight back up so I could get past him.

How I did it....
Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

Turned out relatively simple in the end, there's barrels dotted around the room, you have a very short period of time whilst his gun spins up to throw them at him, whilst he is confused hit him with head shots from your pistol (if you have one) as it has the least recoil is is easiest to hit him with.

I also had an EMP grenade that I hit him with straight away which gave me a bit of time to get myself set up at the first barrel though if you have more it's another way of getting him to stop shooting you long around to shoot him.

Only took 1 EMP and 2 barrels on easy IIRC

End Spoiler Alert!

Finished it last night, ditto on the boss fights - there should have been a different way around them like the first game.

Typhoon made them easy though

Also why did I fail to listen to Admiral Ackbar?
