But that's not why we're here is it? After all, every player will favour one method, there'll always be the go to mechanic and so what better opportunity to welcome the uninitiated to the glorious school of Stealth. Ultimately, the way to net the most XP in Deus Ex: Human Revolution is to do a bit of everything, scour every inch of the game and see all there is to see. So thats pretty much why I LOVE the idea of the social element to Deus Ex: Human Revolution, it may seem like the boring option but trust me, casually strolling into the right areas, and talking your way through all situations like a futuristic James Bond can, and I'm sure will be, very rewarding! Stealth Killing Them Softly By Jim Cross Of course every player worth their salt will use a bit of hacking here, a bit of social interaction when necessary, and even indulge in a crafty headshot when needs must, but having played the game a day before it's release, suspicions have been confirmed. Another important thing for me within this aspect is how much more you can enjoy within the game by taking the time to talk to all the characters you can youll meet some really interesting and funny characters (although some might try to extort you for the privilege of a chat) and through these meetings youll get the chance to play some of the many (and I mean MANY) side missions this game has to offer. Even though this concept isn't new, Deus Ex: Human Revolution looks like it has moved this social element forward even more, with every NPC in the game ready to spill important information if you can just hide around the right corner or better yet impress them with your command of the human language, so much so that theyll be more than happy to shower you with that invaluable information.

Don't get me wrong, I love kicking down doors and tearing bad guys a new. Me and a few friends on WhatCulture have gotten together to talk through each pillar, to give our different views on each of our favourites and I've gone with the Social aspect of gameplay. Social Playing it Robo-Bond By Ben Rayner As the release of Deus Ex: Human Revolution crept ever closer I found myself thinking more and more about how I plan to play the game first, obviously I wont be sticking to one solid path (who can resist all the choices your given?!) but with the creative team behind this mammoth of a game pushing the four pillars of game play there's things to plan. Not limited to the Deus Ex franchise exclusively, our writers have taken it upon themselves to champion their favourite mechanics telling you why it's the only way to play. In order to celebrate the release and prepare you for the choices you'll be asked to make, the team have prepared their own personal testimonials, each championing one the various styles of gameplay you can choose from i.e. In the meantime he and some other members of the gaming team have been at work cooking up this collection of articles inspired by the game and its choice of options regarding approach.
