When does it start being fun? I'm about 5 hours in, just got to Cairo, it sucks.

Never.Play deus ex fall for a good game.

Think for yourself and stop seeking the approval of others.

>>11796064 (OP)
i'm sure i didn't play this game because that looks like a backstreet boy promo

>>11796070
I've been thinking about it for a few hours now and I think it sucks humungous ass.

>>11796075
So you can therefore make a decision as to whether or not you should keep playing, right?

>>11796080
i don't know if the rest of it sucks though

>>11796064 (OP)
I know they say never judge a book by its cover, but you can just see its going to be euro slop

>>11796158
I refuse to believe you don't know what invisible war is, are you 12?

>>11796158
obese

>>11796075
Play it until the end to see if you like it.

If you're 5 hours in and not having fun, I'd say bail. Unless you really want to know how the plot lines wrap up it's probably not worth it. Most would agree that it's inferior to the original Deus Ex in almost every way so if you haven't played that go for it instead.

try Project Snowblind then. it was like Deus Ex for COD fans.

>>11796158
>slop
this slop spammer again. if you want euro games, play DE prequels made by french people.

It doesn't, don't slog through it unless you're a Deus Ex megafan who needs to beat it at least once

All the areas feel so small compared to DX1. "Seattle" is a joke, it's just a couple of tiny rooms. And the constant loading screens are annoying. Feels like a mobile game or something.

>>11796064 (OP)
I remember actually feeling suffocated and claustrophobic from this game. The environments are so fucking cramped, it feels really miserable

>>11796064 (OP)
I couldn't believe how much it sucked despite looking way better

>>11797021
It's because the game was made for consoles too.

>>11799434
Yeah i've played a few more hours now. Got to Germany. It still sucks. I think I'm just going to watch a speedrun or something to see the rest of it.

I just read that it was apparently made for the original X-Box and that's why it is the way it is, with the tiny levels and constant loading screens and everything being dumbed down. And it's like they upgrade the graphics in some parts, maybe the textures and lighting etc, but the environments and character models are really generic and boring looking and the proportions of things seem off sometimes. Like this woman at the start of the game in the picture, standing there almost in a t-pose like an idiot

>>11796064 (OP)
It was never good.

>>11799472
that is the a-pose which is how people started modelling characters after they realized it was unhelpful to start with such a rare shoulder position when trying to make the neutral undeformed model. so yeah if people are actually in the game like that, that is them t-posing in-game

>>11799472
so the game is meant to be played on a SD tv? this looks like high quality graphics (shadows, shading) but like 240p res. Which would make some decisions about e.g. the character's cartoon bug eye faces, make more sense. So you could actually see their eyes. (still ugly)

>>11799489
the picture was a screenshot from a youtube longplay I just grabbed, it's of the X-Box version. I set it to 720p but it still looked pretty blurry. On PC it looks a bit better than that but the models still look silly, the higher resolution doesn't make much difference to anything in terms of model or environment quality.

>>11799507
...here's the same scene at 1440p on PC from another video. It's less blurry but the character still looks weird.

>>11799484
In DX1 a lot of NPCs would run up to you and talk to you and I think that made it a bit more realistic, or at least took attention off the models a bit. In this game though a lot of them just stand there like that. And some times there's ones that do move but it doesn't really make any sense. Like right at the start of the game the building you're in seems to be exploding or something like it's about to collapse and there's this military leader guy running laps on an indoor running track while all these explosions are going off and you have to talk to him and it's just a weird situation. There's a lot of weird design decisions that break the immersion a bit.

>>11799514
i wasn't saying anything about the character (which is a-posing as i said in another post - the character pose is fucked, the characters are fucked in this game) i was saying maybe it looks better at low res and i kind of feel backed up by this comparison

>>11799542
It's contrary to how I feel about both Halo 1 and 2: They look as good if not better when played at higher resolutions.

>>11799553
Yeah some rooms look decent. That room in particular. And the top floor of the Archology. Compared to something like Ocean Lab in DX1 though they're so tiny, like 2% of the size and a lot less detail.

Kind of funny how much more dated Invisible War feels than Deus Ex 1. Like every aspect of it has aged worse

>>11799576
it doesn't look good it looks vacant and vapid. it's just an incidentally harmonious image because the area is the same color as the ui

>>11796064 (OP)
if you go in with console expectations, you'll be pleasantly surprised
keep in mind open areas at that time were a novel idea
No, it obviously doesn't hold a ghost of a candle to its predecessor but its a quaint, tight, bite sized imsim you can finish in a day.

>>11801073
>keep in mind open areas at that time were a novel idea
?

Ok. I finished it. It sucks.

It took about 11 hours. Maybe 1/5 of that is waiting for load screens and restarting after crashes. It crashed probably 15 times or something, sometimes blue screen. The last stage is the only interesting one, it's Liberty Island from the first game and Unatco is there and stuff, but it's all empty and there's nothing to do and it looks way worse than the original.

The story isn't awful but it's not really interesting either. Some of it is stupid though, like apparently after DX1, JC merged with Helios and then babysat the grey aliens for 20 years and now he hangs out with aliens and wants to put a brain implant in everyone's head in the world. Some parts of story are barely explained at all, like the opening cutscene of the game there's this grey goo that consumes Chicago but it doesn't really get mentioned again so I don't know what that was about.

DX1 is my favourite PC game so I was hoping IW had at least some of that same stuff and it kind of does but it's boring and ugly and tedious and it sucks and I think I would have been better off just reading the plot summary on wikipedia instead of playing it.

>>11796158
It's based in Seattle
