Deus Ex 3. I shit you not.

[Lantyssa]

For once the brown is actually a thematic choice.

I enjoyed this interview, and it's on topic:  http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/6462/a_cyberrenaissance_in_art_.php

Arstechnica has posted a review

*Edit* I think i'm giong to take advantage of Amazon's $10 credit pre-order offer.  This thing is just getting ridiculously good reviews.

[Lucas]

Happy U.S. release day! Let us (that is, europeans) know how the game runs on the PC :)

[tgr]

Please let it not suck. This is probably the closest I've come in a year to actually preordering a game.

[Tale]

Yes, please let it not suck. And please let there not be any more people who pronounce Deus as "Deuce".

[cironian]

Douche Ex?

[jakonovski]

Do Sex 3

[Quinton]

Wow, I am a sucky commando.

Dying horribly and repeatedly wouldn't be so bad (though I'm starting to get the hang of the cover system!) if the loading time for restarting after death was not so glacial.

Apart from the horrible horrible load time, it seems promising so far (just past the intro and starting into the first mission).

[Velorath]

Yeah, load time can be pretty bad.  Other than that though, I'm had a pretty fun time stealthing through the first mission (on the normal difficulty).  Apparently missed out on a secondary objective though.

[tgr]

I'm going to just go right out and ask: Is there any DRM on the US version beyond just steamworks? All info I can google up just keeps mentioning steamworks and nothing else, but it's probably still a bit early for reports of this being visible on google.

[Vaiti]

They plan on putting StarForce on the Norwegian version I hear. 

[tgr]

I hate you.

[jakonovski]

Are load times bad on the pc or just consoles?

[KallDrexx]

Are load times bad on the pc or just consoles?

I doubt anyone with the console version has gotten it yet.

[Hawkbit]

I haven't seen PC load times, likely because they'd vary depending on any number of different builds.  But IGN did load time comparison on 360, PS3 and uninstalled 360.

Edit:  The loaded roughly in that order - with 360 fastest, PS3 in the middle and uninstalled 360 last. 

[Njal]

Well it looks gorgeous runs smooth as silk on my PC at 1920x1080 (fairly high end PC). I only got the chance to play until the first enemies show up in the first mission before work so I can't comment on load times.

[NiX]

Are load times bad on the pc or just consoles?

Word is it's roughly the same across all platforms with PC having a slight advantage, but still a bit long. SSD doesn't help either. If it's anything like the preview build, then it can be noticeable at times, but for the most part isn't that big of a deal. Hopefully they can optimize it in a patch.

[tgr]

Has anyone looked at the memory usage and/or CPU usage during the load times, or run a process dump while it's loading? I called CCP out on them having what looked like a 10 second sleep() function in one of their last updates.

Wait, you died during the tutorial?

[MuffinMan]

The feeling I'm getting is to go PC over console? Although it would be nice to sit on my couch while I play...

[Rasix]

PAVLOV GOES RING RING.

[Rasix]

I may want to shoot something, so this is going on the PC.  Plus, it is Deus Ex.

I have a special room for my PC.  

edit: Hey, where'd that other post go.

[MuffinMan]

Sorry, I'm indecisive. I didn't think anyone was looking. Now you look crazy!

[Amaron]

Load time is usually heavily CPU dependent in PC games.

I recommend a Lazy Boy for your PC.  Tell the wife your office chair is making your back hurt. 

[Lucas]

"Let's play" video for the PC version (high quality; for the other parts he posted so far, you have to visit his YT profile page):

Judging from the "Advanced" graphics tab, looks like he's playing on maximum settings. (with a DX11 card)

[Fabricated]

Very smooth so far with everything but Ansi maxed out, and this is with a Q9550, 4gb of RAM, and a 5770 so it's not a bleeding edge rig.

You are hilariously fragile in this game.

Jensen: I am become death, destroyer of worlds!

*drops 6 feet onto a roof instead of taking the ladder*

*dies*

There's an app for that.

[Amaron]

I'm waiting for the Yellow->White lighting mod on this one I think.

I didn't quite understand how to use the cover system correctly.  Once I figured out how to pop up from behind cover to take a couple shots and duck back down my survivability improved a good bit.

[Fabricated]

There's an app for that.

I kinda hoped I wouldn't need an app so my heavily augmented supersoldier's legs won't shatter like glass when I step off a curb.

You have to wonder just how much he would weigh after all those augments.

[Rendakor]

He needs some Aperture Science Knee Replacements.

[Strazos]

Shit was completely unwatchable - couldn't stand watching him struggle like a moron with menus.
