I know I missed the first ebook for Doctorate. This one:

Sarif Manufacturing Plant

At the end of the lab area in the zone with the Augmentations Tutorial (after exiting the first elevator), go straight (past the hall with the turret) and into the security room. Below a small box on a crate is the eBook (you may have to move the box to see it).

Have to go through the game again, I fancy an easy run, blowing everyone to smithereens.

Just bought the soundtrack for this on itunes.

Wow. I was always distracted from the music in-game but hearing it as a standalone it's a really strong soundtrack. Highly recommended.

Thanks to you I downloaded the soundtrack at work today, and right now I'm downloading the game.

Can't wait to play through this mother again! :)

Just started playing this. Immediate impressions are how fantastic the soundtrack is and how interesting the gameworld feels. I've only just finished the prologue but really looking forward to the rest of the game already. Not many games do this to me. Also amazed for how few buttons you can pick this up for now.

Reading things like this makes my Legend, Foxiest Pacifist and Good Soul run seem all the more ridiculous thanks for the confidence boost.

Did the same, on my second playthrough. Though I seem to remember the Good Soul bit taking exactly 100 million attempts.

Finally finished this. God the last few sections are absolutely terrible aren't they?

I stopped playing this when I got to that boss fight which had all those moving statues as I could NOT kill him. So today I figured "ah I'll give this another go" but after about 20 times of trial and error I still could not finish that boss fight. Turns out that you can insta-kill him with one punch. :/

So I did that, got the to last boss fight which was even shittier and made no sense whatsoever to get to a mildly satisfying ending.

Yay.

All in all I really enjoyed this first half of the game or so but the second half just seems to drag on for way to long.

Any game with stealth elements has awful bosses which punish you for being stealthy. It's some videogame law (case in point: the far superior Alpha Protocol. Seriously, if you haven't played it yet go play it. The graphics and controls are far more clunky than this, but everything else, from the customisation to the choices, make every playthrough personalised. Read the thread for more info, just make sure you don't click the spoilers)

I never did finish this, and have been thinking of going back. I keep remembering the hub area and its really putting me off. I bloody hated Halo ODST for the same reason.

I loved it when I was in a facility and just had to sneak around killing people and reaching objectives.

ODST was stil fun in the hubs. The basic gameplay was intact. But this was the biggest disappointment. After 2 I felt sure we were in for a treat but I knew it was pointless carrying on at the first sewer electric 'puzzle'. FFS guys, Deus Ex was like a modern day Hacker - you totally were the ghost in the machine doing things you'd never dreamt of, travelling the world, tearing up the x files. Coming to this after Fallout or even Far Cry was just embarrassing.

I thought DE3 was way, way better than Alpha Protocol. I couldn't finish AP - I found it really boring. The setting and tone didn't really appeal to me at all though, whereas DE3 definitely does.

The tutorial and Middle East levels are dull, by that stage you can do very little to make the game your own. But after that when it opens up, I found the way it changes depending upon your actions, and the fact you have to pick a specialisation (as opposed to being the master of everything like in Deus Ex), makes it the superior game for me.

I don't think that's a fair comparison. I'm not saying the hubs weren't jarring or that they didn't feel kind of "last gen" but don't be fooled by how vast and expansive Far Cry and Fallout 3 are - if they had to build up (and often) like Deus Ex, instead of out (and sparingly), I doubt they'd even be a quarter as big as they are, assuming they would even get made in the first place.

I've got my 360 hooked up to my TV through the monitor input and I think I might have the brightness in the game set wrong. The cut-scenes are a lot darker than the game. There's no description in the menu but I assume the darkest Jensen is meant to be just about visible?

I've managed to block most of the bosses from my mind thankfully but some of them are quite dependant on a particular praxis upgrade but I think the first one, isn't he almost the end of game boss from wolfenstein? Big mong with a big chain gun?

You can lob explosive barrels at him, and then stun him iirc with the other ones.

Really tedious as all of them are, still can't believe they for starters farmed boss fights out to a different dev (which just generally seems weird to me anyway) then chose a dev that had never played a single deus ex game and didn't know anything about the series.

Good game generally but could have been so much better with not a lot of changes imho, hopefully a 2nd one from this lot will be an improvement as it did quite well I thought?
