You can see it because you had already seen it.

What has been seen cannot be unseen sort of thing?

The first boss

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

has a minigun arm, is immune to takedowns, throws half a dozen or more grenades at a time in a wide arc, survives being shot by three rockets in a row, and can't be taken out by being shot in the head once like every other NPC.

You call that easy street?

He'd be easy street if the protagonist was Michael Thorton, since he would just step out from behind a pillar, freeze time, shoot five pistol shots into his head, run straight through the hail of minigun fire (taking no health damage), kick him in the face, and then beat him to a pulp with his fists.

(Overall, Thorton would kick Jensen's ass simply because of he can freeze time and line up 5+ pistol shots at any number of targets in his line of sight while time is frozen, and take the shots in a fraction of a second once time is unfrozen regardless of how far apart they are. Jensen walks into the room and suddenly has 5 bullets in his head. With damage working the way it does for him, he'd be dead. There's no way around that, and the way Jensen's Idiot Ball takes over whenever he meets a high-level enemy, there's no way he'd avoid ambush by such a high-level enemy as Thorton, either.)

I beat him literally without taking damage, I just stunned him, shot, and tossed out grenades keeping him stunned. PAINFULLY easy, especially compared to Yelena who is fast and agile.

The stun gun makes everything easier. I didn't have one and didn't have time to look around to notice that there was one in a box in the room that I hadn't had an opportunity to explore before being automatically walked into and ambushed (impossibly, too. I have a radar for a reason) - I was too busy trying not to die.

First boss: I tossed an EMP grenade at him then walked up and shot him in the face several times with a 10mm pistol. End.

[Shadowlord]

It takes something like 30 headshots with a pistol to take him out on the hardest difficulty level.

My first few many times was EMP grenade, walk up and shoot him several times in the face with a 10mm pistol, get grenaded or machine gunned. End. Or, well, try again.

Finally killed him by doing the EMP routine twice, with a frag grenade at his feet in between. Hard mode is the way to go for the rest of the game though, getting discovered by anything more than one guy at a time gets you killed very fast.

I'm playing in Normal mode*. It's a good balance - you can't just run in guns blazing, you do have to use cover, but stealth and not killing people gets you mega bonuses.

*Yes, I pirated the damn thing. I have no income right now, but I fully intend to buy the game once I do have income.

[Tilla]

I have never in my life played a game on highest setting first playthrough and probably never will.

[Shadowlord]

I did with the first Deus Ex, too. Realistic is the only way to fly.

Your opinion is your opinion.

Hardest mode possible from the start is the best: you aren't playing properly if you aren't ripping your hair out in frustration.

(Note: I am bald thru unrelated circumstances.)

Okay, I bought the game off steam and this is annoying: Cutscenes. I can't view them. Both the opening and second cutscenes crash.

They start, then about half way through the sound starts to skip and loop and then the game crashes to desktop. This does not happen outside of cutscenes. Anybody got any ideas?
