The Big Question: Action Or Stealth?

As most of you know a new Deus Ex came out this week, which is always exciting. Invisible War might not have set many hearts alight, but the series has been consistently good nonetheless.

But every Deus Ex game always presents me with a problem. Do I want to absolutely, positively blow away every enemy in the building — or should I opt for the stealthier route?

Most gamers in practice, of course, will end up using a mixed course of action. But the question mark over my head is one of principle, and role-playing. I build my character from the beginning to favour certain styles, and I’m always perplexed as to what I want those styles to be.

Action games always have bosses. And dealing with bosses quietly often isn’t an option, or at least not one that’s available to me.

So more often than not, I build for the guns blazing route. I go for the high-powered sniper rifles, and then whatever else is necessary for precision headshots after that.

What’s your preference? Are you the sneaky type, or more of a John Woo fan?
