ITT: Post games people pretend are good but no one has actually played
>>739981993I played that, it was pretty good
>>739981993I have played it, it's honestly not that good and more one of those "good for the time" games.Games like X:COM aged far better imo
admit it, none of you beat it if you even played it at all.
>>739981993Pic unrelated?It's an unreal tournament clone bro anyone can just play it, you go run around and go pew pew and sometimes crawl in a vent or talk to chinese people
>people actually picked up this stealth game with horrible shooting and thought it was a game for shooting
>>739982148See, it's the opposite for me. Xcom's replaced X:COM to me despite being an old bastard, but Deus Ex remains fun. Even playing something like Xpiratez hurts despite using modern X:COM mods and updates, and even if the interface was working perfectly I much prefer the 2 action system compared to the AP system. Replayed Deus Ex with the Revision mod (Recommended you disable the awful new models but up to you) a couple times in the last few years and it's still fun as fun. Some of that is probably due to knowing the game and knowing what's fun though, a new player will probably choose stealth rather than gigachad cyber-jedi and won't even know how wrong he's being. I know, because for my first Deus Ex run I also went heavy on stealth and thought it was the way to play
>>739981993I played it, I thought the voice acting was ass, I thought the level design was over complicated for no reason, I thought the combat was beyond ass
Combat is the game's fail state you clowns. All of the game's level design is for finding ways to avoid it. Of course a game feels bad if you play through the entire thing in constant fail state.
>>739981993I played it recently. It was a great game.
>>739981993I played few levers, but lack of gore was too unsatisfying.
>>739981993Played it for the first time recently and it was genuinely one of the best games I've ever playedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tDjJkFyL_Q
OP is obviously bait because there have been hundreds of DX threads on vee, but God Hand is a real answer.
>>739981993I have a 9800x3D and 4080 and i'm playing through this game again. did gmdx last time, now trying revision but with vanilla maps on.it has aged VERY well. also, amazing soundtrack.
In the past month I have played it twice. Once vanilla once GMDE, which is great.
The throwing knives are fun. Instead of letting Maggie Chow run her bullshi I pepper sprayed her and her maid, smashed the window behind her, threw a throwing knife at her head and she fell backwards out I couldnt believe it. Watched her splat on the street below. Pepper sprayed the maid again then left.

>>739981993I've played it dozens of times. Last time was last month when I did a full nonlethal playthrough. I was surprised that Gunther's lines change in a couple of places much later in the game if you don't kill Anna, even though the only way to not kill her is to use a glitch. I guess they originally planned to give you more options.
You can tell a lot about a person, both good and bad, by what they think deus ex “got right” about the future.
>>739985006kek
>>739982734The combat is great if you plan it out, just triggering an alarm and trying to wing it can be resource heavy.
someone explain to me the absolutely insane amount of hate the announced remastered received in the youtube comments? Now it's been put on ice because it's been trashed so much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1RdKezTYNkI just want a freaking playable port I don't care for 2026 graphics, because the one on steam is virtually unplayable (unless you use a 3rd party solutions but I'm too lazy to bother with that these days).I guess the price was going to be a bit high for a very basic remaster (30$ or something), but I would have been fine with that kind of remaster.
>>739985468You can let Simons live in the ocean lab only to encounter him in area 51 later
>>739985684It looked like trash. Simple as
>>739985684Too lazy to download two tiny files from kentie's site and put them in your deus ex system folder?Guide for retardshttps://youtu.be/271yhW4ffuU
>>739985701Yeah but that's clearly intended. He even has a new set of lines there.But escaping Unatco HQ should be impossible without killing Anna, because there's a locked and indestructible door and Alex will not give you the key until Anna is dead. The only way to bypass it afaik is to throw a non-lethal grenade near Anna before she sees you to make her panic run towards the door and open it for you. For some reason she's still afraid of gas grenades despite being completely immune to them.
>>739985701I actually flinched when he turned that corner in area 51Could not for the life of me take him down woth anything other than a GEP rocket
>>739985006 dude fuck that maid, I always taser the shit out of her every run>>739981993I love that obvious reverse psychology works so well on /v/; post a hate thread about a game to get the people who like it to actually post instead of just the random contrarian shitters who have never actually played a video game in their lives
Finally doing a maxed lock picking stealth ninja run, no hacking or electronics Because after two playthroughs i know where all the data pads are im sitting on 20 multitools in Hong Kong i haven't had to use. Crazy.
>>739985857you know, I've done a lot of that kind of stuff in the past, I'm sure it's an easy fix but these days I'm so backlogged on games anyway and I've got a fair bit amount of disposable income so if I'm going to play your game you better hand it over to me on a silver platterid Software did an amazing job with their classic games and for free, so I know it can be donebut hey I just might make an exception for Deus Ex one of these days
>>739982467The maps are not over complicated at all.Its just for the past 20 years developers have dumbed games down to the point where an alternate route its some groundbreaking concept
>>739986196Yeah haha that's the reason...
Deus Ex is not clunky at all. Its crazy how smooth and fluid traversal and combat is with keyboard and mouse and a high refresh rate monitor.Now when I played it on PS2....aiming in motion was a chore...20fps..criminally long loading screen every reload or death..
>>739986769>Shit like this is incredible the absolute state of snoy moviegamers
>>739986748>id Software did an amazing job with their classic games and for free, so I know it can be doneAnd nobody would complain if that was done to Deus Ex. But instead they were going to ask for 30 bucks for pic related.
I remember playing this as a kid and thinking it was just a badass game where you play as the Matrix and go around exploring cities and shooting bad guys. I was just blown away at the technical quality of the game. Then I grow up and find out that it was also le heckin based right wing game. I don’t give a fuck about you zoomers and your political brainrot, I just think this game was fun
>>739982462I never even realized it was a stealth game, personally. I always just went in guns blazing and shot every fucker on sight. Needless to say, Paul was always angry at mr
Its wild that Perfect Dark and Deus Ex released within a month or two of each other. Both games having a Headquarters Hub, Cyberpunk Dystopia, City Streets. Area 51, boarding a plane, a Lab below the ocean...aliens etc
>>739987218In my day, international peacekeepers were citizens first and soldiers second. You can forget about that extra ammo. I'm only going to give you the multitools; I think you should concentrate more on mission objectives and less on the enemy body count.
>>739981993the story material and presentation was strong enough for me to tough out the somewhat unpolished moment to moment gameplay. I liked the concept of everything but specific minutia of guards, and roleplay stats affecting your actions, I could take it or leave it.
>>739986196>dude fuck that maidI wish. Deus Ex mod with LLM support WHEN? It's cool to get mosd for stuff like Rimworld and Skyrim but I'm curious to try a story game, admittedly one with a ton of characters, botted up for dialog which can trigger certain game-AI commands like attack, defend player, whatever. It feels like it would be a terrible idea but that's why I'm curious for a mod like that to show up, what if it isn't
>>739987096I mean I sort of get the hate, but still half price from the Oblivion remasterbut yeah it's the kind of remaster that should have been free for those who already have the game, or they need to full send it like the Oblivion remasterthing is that game has never notorious for how it looks, so I have would have been fine with any kind of decent looking portbut fuck it, I'll probably fix it myself
I liked the detail that you could take a shit in the middle of the street in NY and no one would notice but if you smash that store window above the canal in China to grab items 5 guards will sprint across half the map to deal with you
>>739985684Deus Ex is jarring in 2026 because it has better level design, reactive dialogue, RPG mechanics, atmosphere than 90% of modern games But it looks so fucking dated. Even with mods.Given that were are living through a shockingly close reality to the game it could sorely benefit from a photorealistic overhaul, with maps that dont look like a collection of different colored boxes
>>739985684You are too stupid to be allowed to make your own decisions.
>>739982226bitch you better believe I beat it, I basically had sex with that gamebeat the sigma version recently as well, still a lot of fun
what a shamehttps://files.catbox.moe/jchno2.mp4
>>739982462>toy chica >Deus Ex remains funbased old bastard
>>739981993I beated it multiple times. It's great.
>use the peeper gun on a laser trap>you can interrupt it and pass throughI always discover new shit
>>739981993Finished it for the first time this year, it rocks
>>739989801I almost always keep pepper gun and some extinguishers on me after finding out how insanely busted they are. Gas grenades are actually kind of shit compared to just running at guys, activating either and spinning around to get all of them disabled for a billion years.
>>739989961In GMDE theres a perk that makes gas grenades non lethal knockouts if they are in the vicinity of the first blast which is cool but yeah vanilla theyre a pain in the ass if you dont have the hazard aug or a hazmat suit
>>739990072It's also the skill-dependent delay, the fact that they run, the clouds being spread out so much that they can miss people who are closer to the blast than others who get hit. It's all adds up to being way more inconvenient to disable with.
Playing it right now, still amazing.Cope retard faggot jew.
>>739987096
>>739986781Have you figured out why anyone would play DX via steam?
>>739981993the average /v/ poster in the current year probably hasnt played do sex, this board must be nuked
Your regen aug is a waste of fucking space because you never use your stockpile of medkits and they double in effectiveness with the first skillpoint. Overrated piece of filler.
I like GMDX more than vanilla.
>>739991019The only thing that bothered me was some of the changes to area 51 because I figured out great methods for a couple places in there vanilla and the changes ruined my plans
>>739991019I like the automation of things you would want to automatically use, hate the AI improvements and needless meddling with the hacking system. In the end I mostly just keep it on for aug canister shuffling to change up playthroughs.

Deus ex is an unc franchise.
>>739991397>>739991534Most witty posts of today, it won't get any brighter than this.
JC A BOMB!
>>739982734Then why is the GEP gun a thing
>>739991534>>739991397it's spelled unatco
>>739991617HUGE ammo based lockpick
>>739981993Truly unfortunate how the OG is still the best game in the series after all these years
>>739981993it is great, it is just that /v/ wants mixtape with gunsinstead of learning and exploring the game, they want to hold w and hear redpills
>>739991778>in the series>the series is laterally 1 game
>>739987096>looks AI generated >even though it isn'thow did they do it
>>739991878Human Revolution wasn't all that bad, it certainly didn't possess the timeless quality that the OG had but it was a good and, most importantly, complete game
>>739992142>Human Revolution wasn'tDeus Ex at all
>>739981993It's been on my backlog for a while, as a first-time player what mods should I get? I'm thinking mostly engine/graphics upgrades and bugfixes if available, nothing that touches on level design/story/etc.

>>739981993Do you have a single fact to back that up?

As a frequent clicker of Deus Ex threads I have come to despise quotefags. We've all heard every line in this game 100 times, please say shit a robot couldn't.
>>739989801It's possible, but not on every laser trap. I'm pretty sure blue lasers will just trigger 100% of the time and a solid majority of the red lasers will also trigger alarms.But when it works it works. You can use extinguishers or smokes for that purpose as well, too.
>>739992539Just use Kentie's, it's all you really need to get it running well on modern systems.Here's a very detailed guide on setting it uphttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=144316078
>>739985958Sounds like incomplete content. I never did that, but I'm assuming Anna never turns up in-game again anyway, right?There might've originally been an escape path planned that didn't involve killing her, and it just never got fully implimented.
>>739986196Why stop at a taser.
>>739982462I genuinely want to know what is wrong with your brain, that you prefer the stupid two action system, to natural character progression of the characters you are using becoming better at doing things as they do them.
>>739987859Oblivion remaster was dogshit too.
>>739990481I've never seen someone deck out the 10mm like that before. Is it good? I usually just get the autism strength power and ram the baton up everyone's ass.
>>739995707Fully decked 10mm is probably the most ammo efficient gun in the game that is also silent and serves as a pocket sniper.
>>739995707He's playing on modded, but vanilla 10mm is really good. You can beat the entire game with it.Good damage, decently accurate(I mean, as long as you do put some points into the skill and get some upgrades), ammo is basically everywhere with rare exceptions, etc.The only weaknesses are bots, and lack of any silencer functionality.
>>739991461Prod with the prod
I played it all many years ago but I'll admit I used the shifter mod
>>739996312>, decently accurate(I mean, as long as you do put some points into the skill and get some upgrades),If you're playing vanilla or anything that doesn't nerf the lasersight you can just slap it onto any weapon and it instantly becomes 100% accurate.
>>739982462>prefers new Xcom to oldewww
>>739981993I liked vtmb and ss2 but didn't care for deus ex when I tried it granted, I only did the first level so did I just not give it a fair enough chance?
>>739999668Yeah, hell's kitchen, which is actually a couple levels in is really the best place to decide if you're having fun yet
>>739999668Yeah. Try to finish the level after that, the Battery Park one. That one actually has a secret route to the objective.Or the one after that, Hell's Kitchen. That one is like a mini hub with side missions and stuff.
>>739995554>characters you are using becoming better at doing things as they doNTA but I always hated the part even when I dislike the casual feel of nuXCOM.I hate that it always adds the busy work and poorly planned out scalability. The best example is in Silent storm when you can become a master at hiding without even trying because ALL NPCs train your stealth skill when you try hiding, even friendly ones. Or when the best way to train engineering is to repeatedly booby trap and disarm a door for an hour.
>>739999668You would think that ss2 would prime you for slow burn.
