Was my choice of buying Deus Ex: Human Revolution a good one?

I watched the reviews and trailers, i think the game looks good and the reviews are great (9/10 games weasel, 8.5/10 gamespot, 85/100 metascore) but in the comments of ALL the videos they say the game sucks or looks sucky.

My friend says its because they played the originals (never played deus ex before, any of em) and they just dont find it to be as good as the others.

example: everyone thought the duke nukem game was stupid, i found it fun, i never played a duke nukem game before and i found the comedic style of the game to be quite different form most shooters.

btw, is downloading now, pc version.Was my choice of buying Deus Ex: Human Revolution a good one?
Yes, the game is supposed to be a good next-step in the story.



BUT -



I REALLY recommend that you get the other two and play them FIRST, before you play, "Revolution." You will be missing out on a good story-line and LOTS of back-story. You'll also have an idea of what to expect with the new edition. It's been years since the other versions were out, so you can pick them up very cheaply.
