Sadly it's another one of those games that's ridiculously overpriced on Steam in Australia (69.99 USD). However, it's reasonably priced at ~$40 if I import it using ozgameshop.com, so if I hear enough to peak my interest I'll probably buy it.

That's not too bad, considering that Brink and MW3 came out or are coming out in the 90 dollar range. MW3 is 99.99 on preorder, now that's some bullshit.
I ran into a gamebreaking glitch on the Cloak and Dagger mission that makes it impossible to progress. Thanks, Eidos. Guess I'll just stop playing until you patch your shitty collision detection and spawning code!
I'm playing a strict stealth-and-nokill playthrough my first time but it seems to me like this game would be a cakewalk if you just shot everyone. Is that the case or no? Although I'm guessing most people are doing the same playstyle I am so maybe the history of Deus Ex just shames all of us into being pacifists because it's harder.
No. Being a pacifist or a stealth killer is arguably easier, because Deus Ex (even with HR's helath regen) is brutally unforgiving. Even three enemies can overwhelm you completely if you aren't thinking tactically, have 60+ rounds of combat rifle ammo, a custom modded rifle, and a few grenades. And that's on Normal. "Give me Deus Ex" is like asking a video game to kick you in the nuts until you black out.
I got really sucked into this game today after getting past the first act. I find this game much better than the first one (which I couldn't get into). If you didn't like the original, don't pass judgement too quickly on this game.
EDIT: Nevermind, Google revealed what you were talking about. However, I still need Eidos to patch the Cloak and Dagger mission before I can do fuck-all.
I just beat this game. It was fun. It felt very Metallic Gear Solid. But.
The writing was so, SO bad.
"Hello, person that has worked for me for years. I don't know if you knew this, but our new augmentation technology is going to revolutionize the way we think about the human body!"
"Are you talking to me? Are there hidden cameras around somewhere? Am I in a commercial for our company right now?"
I didn't enjoy the voice acting at all, although I feel like the ceiling was pretty low, based on the script. The game could have been so awesome too, considering the subject matter. I think basically I want to play GitS:SAC 3rd gig: It's straight-up dawg time.

Also, I would like to formally congratulate Eidos Montreal on successfully personifying, and making an enemy out of, grenade spam.
Not right now anyways.
