It's been exactly 25 years since the release of Deus Ex.
That's terror.

>"Some people just don't understand the dangers of indiscriminate surveillance."

Game was truly ahead of its time

>>713443452
Weird that all Elon Musk got from the game was that it would be hella cool to merge with AI and become a super-billionaire.

>>713443970
Did anyone ever actually play Deus Ex multiplayer?
It wasn't even a feature on launch, only introduced later in a patch.

>>713443970
>mfw I forgot this even has multiplayer

>>713444339
I played it with my bro on LAN
It was alright I guess

>>713444339
I only ever dabbled with it on the LAN, since I never knew that the "GOTY Edition" update even added free multiplayer in the day until way after its relevancy.

>>713443452
>Released in 2000
>Takes place in 2052
Next year we'll be closer to the in-game events of Deus Ex than we are to its release.

>>713444536
>"GOTY Edition"
>added multiplayer
>downgraded several maps to their beta versions
>broke plasma guns because multiplayer damage is applied in singleplayer
>none of the issues were ever fixed

Any mods/revamps worth checking out for a playthrough? Not played the game in over a decade, could use something to freshen it up.

>>713444812
we've already passed all in game events except cool robots
we're in the most boring dystopia possible

>>713445293
i like the shifter mod
its not a big mod, it adds a few things and restores some stuff, but it's nice to add
it also makes the game even easier so do be aware of that

>>713445293
I would just play vanilla again unless you remember the levels really well

>>713445293
>Not played the game in over a decade
Why not just play vanilla again? After a decade it might be fun to just replay the game as it is.
But if you really want a modded experience, I guess GMDX gets shilled the most here, while Revision is the easiest to install since it's easily available on Steam. Both are heavily overhauled so if you want a more classic experience there's also Transcended mod.

>>713445176
This. Fucking Steamies will never understand true kino.

>>713446014
Is there actually an easy way to "downgrade" a GOTY edition? Something like GoldToDark for Thief would be nice.

>>713442717 (OP)
It was a junk game anyway. Clunky as fuck but also the writing was bad and world building terrible and brainwormed plot. And the ending was terrible.

>>713446238
Your appointment to FEMA will never be finalized.

>>713446236
You can replace the maps with the original release maps: https://www.dxm.be/navigator.php5?lang=en&content=202

My favorite game. The indie space is in a perfect position to make games as good as it and I have faith. AAA and their bloated budgets will never be able to capture anything remotely like this anymore.

>>713446439
Good. Fuck FEMA. They don't even have working soda machines. I wanted orange and it gave me lemon lime.

>>713446732
>I have faith
I wouldn't, seeing the state of the indie scene.

>>713446562
Yeah but it's not that simple, GOTY also fucks up other things. Due to a scripting error plasma bolts deal their multiplayer-balanced damage, which is 20% of the original intended values. Ever wondered why the BFG-like plasma gun feels like shit and why the single-use plasma pistols are trash? Yeah, GOTY edition broke them.
This is how the plasma rifle is supposed to work.

>>713446732
>indie space
>have faith

>>713442717 (OP)
The only thing i remember from it is the terrorist guy who blabbered about the good ole days and freedom 'n stuff.

>>713446014
Can’t you get the original on gog?

>>713447001
Also to add to this, this is also why the boss fight with Walton Simons is a joke. He mainly uses the plasma rifle so he only deals 1/5 of the intended damage. You're supposed to die in one hit.

>>713446769
Now that right there, is true oppression..

Would this work? I had no idea so many things were changed. My first Deus Ex was Invisible War on the Xbox.

>>713447867
Nah GOG only sells the GOTY edition, same as Steam.

>>713447867
I doubt it

Favorite weapon? I love my Walmart plastic lightsaber.

>>713448512
Modded pistol, nothing better.

>>713448051
>I had no idea so many things were changed
It's like a completely different game.

>>713448656
This, but the silenced version

>>713448512
The GEP gun is always the most silent way to eliminate Manderley.
Both are iconic, but I've had runs where I gave up the sword for inventory space while the GEP gun stays.

>>713448749
I will tell them you are a spy and they will-ACK!

>>713448051
Never heard of it and it's hard to tell since the description is lacking.

I guess it might downgrade GOTY to original release?

The first half of the game I have memorized inside out. Hong Kong onwards is when things get fuzzy.

>>713452189
>The first half
The start of Hong Kong is more like 1/3 into the game.

Was there any way to scale the HUD up without lowering the resolution?

Kentie's Launcher, which is basically a must-have for modern PCs, has an option for HUD scaling.

Jesus christ.
I feel bad for him, he poured his soul into the nu DX stuff and the dirty Square Enix boomers ruined everything.
The two games may have not reached the heights of the original, but I still enjoyed a lot of aspects in them.

>>713442717 (OP)
nice

>>713455027
Just to see the differences, sure, but if you've never played it before, go for the PC version.

>>713455027
Not at its current asking price, no. Better off just emulating it on PC instead if you're curious about that particular version. It supports keyboard & mouse natively as well.

>>713454758
How much did he actually do though?
Also, it's more than a little convenient that a game all about conspiracies doesn't touch the JQ at all...

>>713454076
When you see a dev team like this, you immediately realize why modern games suck so much ass

>>713454590
since catholicism is based on Unix (the Talmud/Torah), I can't say much. it is what it is.
the other forms like Hellenism or the various Germanic/Nordic traditions have somewhat survived, so it's not that serious
but I will never take seriously the fucktard Mohammabad. fuck right off with that shit
>>713454832

>>713456868
Catholicism isn't an Abrahamic religion like Judaism. It is a rejection of the Abrahamic religion. Literally read the new Testament and come back to me. It is like they flipped the ENTIRE Abrahamic root religion (which Judaism focuses on) on its head. Also Christianity is by definition an older religion. Judaism was all oral tradition and polytheistic until after the time of Christ. Jews believe heaven is a place you go. Christians believe heaven is the peace you find within by being a good person (i.e. not a Jew). The existence of the Old Testament in reference to Catholicism is to give it roots in history and explain the stark contrast of the evil ways of old vs the new compassionate ways that reject the old god for the new. Nignog.

>>713457490
>we christians are the real jews

>>713457624
Jews are the corrupt merchants that sold religion to the elites. It isn't a religion. It is a collection of stolen fairy tales from root cultures like the Assyrians and Babylonians.

it's so dumb bc they both sold fine
squeenix just had completely delusional expectations of them being smash hits that should sell 10m+. MD also got completely sabotaged with the pre-order shenanigans

>>713457952
They tried to turn a game about conspiracies and covert espionage/sabotage into some kind of multiverse marvel slop. And then the devs literally were forced to develop capeslop which sold even worse.
What a shitshow.

Wait a second, so you're telling me that the concept of international law is really a type of Western elite terror, devised to strip away national sovereignty from foreign countries and establish the basis for a one-world government and a compliant faceless global population?

Probably because it doesn't work as intended, it only deals 1/5 of the damage because a scripting error makes it always apply multiplayer balancing.
See >>713447001 for how it's supposed to work in normal play.

the covid ones are straight up nefarious bullshit

It doesn't do anything interesting with the gameplay and just adds a ton of empty rooms to the maps while breaking AI pathing and some encounter designs.

>>713469691
It's decent if you’ve already played through vanilla a couple times and want a remix, but it absolutely frontloads itself with bloat. Some areas are cool (like the improved Hell’s Kitchen), but then you get something like the NSF HQ turning into a multi-tiered parking garage simulator with one guy at the end. It feels like the devs thought "more = better" and just ran with it. Still, it's worth a tour once, preferably with sandbox mode on.

If you haven't replayed it with some mods by now you are probably a super secondary

>>713442717 (OP)
This game was great. I will revisit it again sometime in the future. But I found the mods and total conversions to be hit or miss. It's great that it's such a moddable game, but nothing can top the singleplayer playthrough.
Also, I know I am in the minority opinion here but the graphical mods that make it look all souped up, I don't really like them. The original graphics add to the feel of the game.

>>713471637
there are a shitload of options, you can play vanilla if you want to. it's for a second+ playthrough imo.

He basically made the entire game document since the days of System Shock 1 and iterated upon it after he talked with Romero about joining his company.
Afterwards they assembled a team and played DnD a lot that was based on his documents to see what worked and didn’t in an rpg.
Afterwards he just oversaw the project until completion.

>>713475415
maybe... it'd be funny if it actually released around 2027

>>713475415
I just beat MD recently and the game's credits are 30+ minutes long. Eidos had hundreds of people working on that shit for years. There just isn't any VC funding interest in bloated, 5yr AAA games anymore.

What would be unfathomably based is if they made a 3rd Jensen game, but in the Unreal engine from the original Deus Ex and it looked/played like that.

>>713476485
i think the core audience of the jensen games would throw a huge shitfit at the "severe downgrade", and the prospect of some company/ip holder losing face over it would be too risky for shareholders to allow it to happen

Your appointment to DOGE should be finalized within the week. I already discussed the matter with the President

Is IW worth playing?

God why is Deus Ex still the best

Is that what they call it? A think tank?

no game has had the detail in game deus ex (2000) had. even simple stuff like computer systems and articles you could find on the stuff all over. All optional stuff that adds to the illuminati backstory and the government actions.

>tiny maps after the massive maps of the original
>universal ammo
>half-baked story based on all 3 endings from DX being real
>your choices have almost no consequences because every faction is willing to go from sending death squads after you to befriending you
I finished it because I didn't have much else to play at the time, but I'd rather play HR than IW.

if I'm being as generous as possible, it's... okay I guess
the console-ization of it is so stark that anyone who tries to argue against that (and i've seen many people here trying to do that) is fucking lying. The UI alone is so Xbox it's insane
the story isn't terrible but it's also super dumbed down. There are a bunch of factions, pick one, that is your ending.

Made by MIT graduates or some shit. The average IQ of that devteam must've been 130 or something.

Made by the sort of people that understood what makes videogames worth playing.

Maybe this time you’ll actually save people :^)

what is the obsession with early 3d games and going into the women's room? is kojima to blame?

Name three other games that do this in the early 2000s. I'll wait.
