So what does the review say? Can't stand watching videos.

IIRC: Overall he enjoyed it, compared the result to PS:T and found it brilliant and funny, with a counter-intuitive skill system, frequent societal convention bashing, and an overall mind-blowing experience, with a high replay value and a seemingly insane setting. There are mentioned a few sub-par sections in the voice acting and a couple of video performance issues, but nothing significant.
The video review was better than most I've heard, so you might want to reconsider.
I didn't watch it. Didn't want to spoil myself. DLing the game now. Check out the first few Steam reviews. I think they provide a nice summary of what to expect.
ACG is one of the few people I actually trust with reviews. He does them pretty well imho.
Keep in mind ACG thought Vampyr was like the greatest game of all time. Not many agreed after they bought and tried it (he might be right, i did not play that game).
I'd probably disagree with him quite often then. Vampyr was good but far from great imo.
I've only played a couple hours of DE, and it's definitely good if you're in the mood for that kind of game. I don't find myself wanting to play it for long periods though. As much as I enjoy great writing, I want some gameplay to go with it, and by gameplay I mean more than just reading and selecting responses.
No, you mean it needs the hacking minigame from (Arkane's) Prey.I want some gameplay to go with it, and by gameplay I mean more than just reading and selecting responses.
DE is a videogame and not a book. Which means you need to do other stuff and not just reading only.yeah i don't think DE is for me at all, i really prefer books for longer dialogues and deep story telling, just an overall better medium (for reading for longer periods) i think. Not too keen on sitting down in front of my computer to only read for 10 mins or more, it's not why i play games. it seems like a really cool game if you're into that though.
