The Unified ammo isn't all that bad, really. It cuts down on the ever so annoying "shit, out of shock prod ammo, out of tranq darts, what now?"Faram wrote:Linky

Of course, the DX2 shock prod rather sucks as is, but meh.
Though I have only played the Demo, you can see what complaints I have about it here, and hopefully it will give you a better idea on what the game is like.
Do not meddle in the affairs of insomniacs, for they are cranky and can do things to you while you sleep.

Why won't you? Based on the review scores, and my own opinion, its a fun game with flaws, and I have never known a game without one.Chardok wrote:Great review, Hotfoot... Well written. I never did play Deus X. and now I won't be playing DX2. I can't wait until manhunt comes out on PC
Some of you are just want a DX1:mission pack.

Truth be told, I'd never even heard of DX until I came here. Sounded okay, if a bit dated. If I see it in ye olde compUSA or best buy at a bargain price, I'll see about picking it up, as it sounds like a fairly decent FPS, just not quite my style. same Reason I never bought The Thing. IIRC, that got rave reviews as being super-cool, but it just wasn't me. I'll wait until full release and if I see enough favorable reviews, I may stop-n- grab DX 2

Ok, everyone, lets get together, and go down to Redmond, Washington

the X-Box nearly identical to the PC, causing lots of PC games to be fucked
over for the X-Box's controller, and never be as good on PC that they were
going to be before they got taken over and ported to X-BOx.
