Patient Gamers

Deus Ex: Human Revolution...Man when I saw that first teaser trailer I had tears in my eyes. Another game in my all time favorite series so many years later? AND it's a prequel?!?!

But I was pretty dissapointed. I felt the game was pretty watered down vs Deus Ex, which was also a complaint about DE2 (apart from the console favoring nature of it). The prequel aspect was also pretty dissapointing. A couple characters in the game, Gunther Hermann and Anna Navarre, were extremely noticeably mechanically augmented individuals who looked more like mechanical abominations than flesh and blood human beings. Yet in Deus Ex: Human Revolutions you did not become more machine looking as you gained augmentations. You have your limbs put in place at the beginning and that's the change, a very sleek and stylish augment. I expected to see a more grounded take from the high tech in Deus Ex, but instead was met with an entirely different universe like Deus Ex: Human Revolution was the first of its kind. Deus Ex is still and always will be my most favorite game of all time. I really hope something miraculous happens and the original game is done justice, but as long as Square Enix holds the title I highly doubt they will give the universe enough time, care and love that the original got (as a passion project).
