I still have yet to understand why HL is put on the same level (or higher) as Deus Ex. It came first and it was a more significant stepping stone in the history of FPS and it has a great atmosphere but there is no RPG element...there aren't multiple character styles you can play through to give you different experiences of the game (ie stealth, sniper, close combat, shotguns/machineguns, heavy weapons)...and the game is generally just simpler (the combat is far simpler). I mean without the extra elements that Deus Ex offers, HL is basically just the logical evolution of the FPS genre which was started by Doom and Wolfenstein...not a bad game by any means but it doesn't still have things that the FPS genre lacks in general, unlike DE. I don't see why it should be rated higher than Doom or Halo or CoD 2 or other famous games in the FPS genre. (Being hit in different parts of your body = different penalties...almost all games still ignore that- I have no fucking idea why).

Well it may be the closest but I rate IW 5/10, HR 7/10 and DE 10/10. I swear I could design a fucking Deus Ex game as good as the original...it's really simple...AVOID STREAMLINING...they shouldn't have tried to cash in on the name of Deus Ex to make a quick buck off casuals by streamlining and simplifying. They should have gone all-out to make it the most satisfying and gripping nerd experience available. Instead they made a lukewarm, medium-strength offering and greatly tarnished the already-tarnished-by-IW rep that DE has. ALSO they could have had a go at actually making a game where decisions matter?! If I were designing DE I would have two clear sides that you get to choose to be with, they have similar missions but often are done from different ends of the maps with different objectives, and also there are missions which are unique to each side. And let the player CHOOSE what they want. And don't worry about graphics, the story, gameplay and game length are what should come first. | ||

I played Human Revolution twice and seeing as I got lazy with these new games I never bothered playing the first one mainly because of its graphics. But I have some spare time these days so I might do it with all these enhancement softwares. Does anyone know long is DeusEx 1? ( approximately, in time spent playing doing main missions only) | ||

I think I have my Deus Ex disc around somewhere. I should really get back in that. I never completed it. | ||

Still wish there was less of that streamline which many designers feel necessary nowadays, it's like everyone has gone full retard. :/ Dishonored was completely badass though. One of the best and most refreshing single player games I've played in a long time. Looking forward to Bioshock Infinite as well. | ||

Sorry to derail this thread from Deus Ex but something awesome just happened. System Shock 2 is now available on GOG! :D http://www.gog.com/gamecard/system_shock_2 | ||

I'm going to get the game from somewhere regardless, but I want to know if this gog version will also have the visual improvements like the 1920x1080 res that the patch allows. | ||

I can't tell for sure, but it seems like no changes are made from the original and mods are still recommended to install. Taken form a thread called Any improvements/changes in the GOG version? : "To answer the original question, I do not believe that the GoG version offers anything over the original retail version at this point. The only thing that's maybe true is that the GoG version might be slightly easier to install, but considering that the original retail version can now be installed via SS2Tool, even that is a minimal benefit. In other words, if you already own SS2, there's not a whole lot more here for you besides digital availability." | ||
