Title: Deus Ex : Human Revolution
Post by: Tapewolf on November 09, 2011, 08:14:58 PM
As some people may know, I occasionally take a game, tear it apart, try to break it and write an anti-walkthrough based on my experiences.  This time it's Human Revolution's turn.

I can't honestly claim I've broken it as badly as, say, Ultima 9 - but people might find this amusing anyway.

I have a collection of bizarre and interesting screenshots which I still need to add to the end, but otherwise it's mostly complete.  Feedback, typos and the like would be much appreciated.

One word of warning: If you haven't played the game, this will spoil it for you, big time.
Must sleep now.

I sort of broke off reading towards the middle-end because I didn't want to spoil the game too much, but what I did read what hilarious. The whole fun insanity of it all and the "experimentation". Great stuff Tape

PS. I saw "Basilisk" and "slut puppy" on the same page. This is no coincidence.

The DJ actually, honestly refers to Eliza Cassan as Picus' "Slut puppet".  How could I resist?

Cripes, that's so many tiny computer servers they should have used the name "Beowulf".
Apparently, the major conceptual problem with this game is that it lets you specialize in any one of guns, stealth and diplomacy... but then it has bosses that cannot be encouraged to either look the other way or emigrate.

Yeah.  Each one of those vertical blue strips in the screenshot is something like a 64U rack filled with servers.  And there are a lot of blue strips.

EDIT: This screenshot is looking down into the floor, IIRC.  Looking up at the ceiling gives you an identical view.
