I'm enjoying it as well, but I think it's hardly unfair to say they made compromises from the original to appeal to today's mass market audiences.>> ^sillma:
I'm a pretty huge DX1 fan, and DXHR didn't disappoint me at all. Pretty awesome game all in all, you can easily leave yourself with a negative image of a game if you listen to all the biggest whiners of the internet.



Aye aye, but that's how it goes nowadays unfortunately. Much better game than I expected it to be, nowadays I have very low expectations on games that claim to claim any former glory, since they usually fail miserably. Only thing I was disappointed was the size of the world, the cities could've been larger with more side quests, but ah well it was properly long game anyhow. Gotta do the next playthrough with non-lethal approach

Ok. I literally loled at that delivery. I guess the makers of DE:HR have a case for this being on-par with character acting.

Here's the skinny - deus ex is very good at incorporating your choice into the storyline, so you think there was no choice. Good example, at one point in the new game you get to either let someone die (they tell you to) or you can work it so they survive. First time, i didn't even notice. Second time, i tried to save them and got a different story out of it but it was seamless both ways, i wouldn't have known it was a choice.

Whilst i agree with the fact that it didn't beat any other game (baldur's gate, diablo, etc.) remember that you're comparing it with several games at the same time; it's not as good as fallout at being an rpg but it isn't a pure rpg, etc.

It's a pretty good game in conclusion, though it probably is a tad overhyped. New one's good fun too, but again not groundbreaking to me. Doesn't have to be, if it's good enough, and it is.

Edit: That second deus ex was shit though, if you ask me. Glad they pulled it back with this one.

Christan Bale just called; he wants the protagonist to stop ripping off his Batman Voice...


Well, I'm about to blow your mind: the original Deus Ex (which came out LONG before Christian Bale's Batman) sounds exactly like this as well, so perhaps Mr. Bale played the original

>> ^mas8705:

What's interesting is the voice actor actually sounds like that. I saw him in a promo interview video for the game and was quite surprised. Somehow, that makes it more tolerable to me.

All I have to say is: Well shiiiiiit!

> ^mentality:Well, everyone is entitled to their favorite game. But really my point is that you can't call it novel or exceptional because everything it tried to do has be done earlier and better in other games. It's a jack of all trades game, master of none.



I suppose bits and pieces of anything are from things which came before, but the sum of its parts made Deus Ex stellar. Although I had played System Shock 2 before, Deus Ex felt like a very novel experience to me. But it was also the atmosphere, story, music, environments, gameplay mechanics, etc.

>> ^mentality:
Best PC game of all time? You gotta be joking.
I played it when the game came out, and while I agree that it is a good game, it did not provide you with any experience that was truly novel or exceptional.

No, I'm not, and yes, it did. Novel and exceptional are two great adjectives for what I thought/think of Deus Ex. System Shock 2 is right behind it, but Deus Ex remains my favorite game to this day.

Yes. I played both Mass Effect games. They had a similar problem of overlong conversations, and you're right Mass Effect's might actually be longer on average. The difference is in Mass Effect I could tell when it was over or when it was the last line. Human Revolution when I think the conversation is over they seem to have a couple more lines that are redundant.

I'm not that far into Human Revolution, I'll probably get more absorbed when the story picks up. Certainly digging the setting and themes and the aesthetic is off the chain.

>> ^Sarzy:

Really? Maybe it's because I've been playing Mass Effect fairly recently, but I thought the Human Revolution characters have been fairly straight-to-the-point.
Have you ever tried to go through every conversation tree with characters in Mass Effect? Those dudes can talk FOREVER.

>> ^budzos:

I'm playing the sequel right now. Have to say I'm enjoying the action a bit more than the story. Is it just me or does everyone talk a little too much? Every character in the game has logorrhea.
Like, I don't need to have a conversation with my helicopter pilot every single time she picks me up and drops me off.
At least I'm actually paying attention to the story and the boring dialogue. Have to admit much as I love sci-fi, and even though it was brand new when I was playing it, I could not get into the story of the first Deus Ex at all... and once you play an hour of that game without paying attention to the story... good luck.
