alright, late to the party and just played through the cracked beta, mixed feelings. the ambience is pretty good, loading screens are ridiculous, and it plays like a console release directly ported to PC.

Again, the game is good, you should try it.

my major gripes are, because it's obviously just a console release at this point, the UI and combat are not crisp at all, and there's a good amount of waiting. also, I can imagine the load screens being a deal breaker for someone with a 5400rpm hdd, considering how much zoning there is. the dialog isn't bad, but apparently parkinson's is an epidemic in 2027. I make it sound worse than it is though, you should play itt.

leaked beta; bugs and not much polish. Mouse smoothing has not been removed from this build yet as it was not intended for mass market. Loading times are usually one of the last things to be optimised in a build, they will be much shorter in retail. I don't really understand why you feel it plays like a console game? Is it the cover system? Because on the back-end they've pretty much covered all the bases in terms of PC options, even if they weren't all functioning correctly in this early build.

e: It's not even a port, what are you guys talking about? An studio which is affiliates with Eidos Montreal (Nixxes software) is doing the coding for them since they do not have the manpower to do it themselves. The same creative vision, and open gameplay is in all versions. This is actually a better scenario for PC gamers because we get a developer writing our version who has a good track record of creating games on the PC. Their other projects felt like PC games, when they were multiplat just like DXHR. We even get our own features and harder difficulty settings in the PC version.

have you played it? unless you really want to convince yourself otherwise, every aspect of the UI is tailored for consoles. dialog options are a Dpad. to buy something from a store you have to use wasd. cover systems, yeah. level design isn't that of a PC game.

e: still gonna buy it, i like the game. wasn't expecting something as ground breaking as DE1.

You mean like hacking with the mouse? Drag and drop onto toolbar, hotkey shortcuts to just about everything? Numpad for keycode entry? Any one of a number of other things that are pretty much identical to the first? Level design is IMO superior to the first one if you look around, which i hope you are doing.

First game had hidden entry points, like sewers. Check.
Grates and ventshafts? Check.
Hidden electrical areas circumvented or accessed by crates? Yup.
Destroyable walls? Hell even the first game was sparing in this department.
Hackable doors? Yes very.
Womens bathrooms, now we got em in every building.
Giant boxes in your way movable with increased strength? You betchya.

To be honest I dont have a key on my keyboard not mapped to something. Of all the games to think of as a console port this definitely isnt one of them.

Well what about conversations? Those are mapped out in Alpha Beta Omega format that you can take advantage of in a rock paper scissors format. NPC's are still keen on random events you perform during missions (Stay out of the womens bathroom).

This game has literally everything the first game had and a whole bunch more. Augmentations mean so much in this game and are so important, but to different people! I love the aug that lets you see the cone of vision enemies have. There are dozens of augs and every map is tailored to be taken advantage of by Jensens of different aug sets and no set of augs seem definitely weaker than any other set of augs.

Map design makes you feel like your character is the perfect character every single time and playthrough. With any variation you like.

The story looks to be very promising if one reads between the lines. I highly doubt the entire storyline is going to be about fucking up some mercs who fucked you up. I mean, you are practically told this in the intro.
