What sort of shitty name is "Deus Ex" anyway? "God out of the"?

Dayu

I went to a game store and asked for "Juice ex" and got weird looks

It's Deuce Ex

It's Dude Sex, bro.

He's looking up. That is what's revealed to be it. It's meant to mean that there are those without souls that want to become like God.

Just another parasite

Read a book.

The full phrase is Deus Ex Machina, meaning God from the Machine. Though it has one real meaning, it implies many things in this case.

Why say Deus Ex when you can say Deus Ex Machina? That's like saying "Read a" instead of "Read a book"

The name may have been taken already.

It sounds cool

>>720044389 (OP)
Because depending on the ending you choose, the saying is either completed or left incomplete.

>>720051403
because the machine is implied

>>720044389 (OP)
Because "Deus Ex Machina" doesn't sound like a good game title. Deus Ex does.

It sounds perfectly fine unless you're a pleb. It's left incomplete deliberately.

No it doesn't.

Deus Ex Machina is already a well-known term. If you called a game "Deus Ex Machina" it would just get associated with "plot pulls solution out of thin air" rather than the actual meaning.

Deus Ex is short and memorable. "What game are you playing?" "Deus Ex." It works.
