Deus Ex.

[WhatsHisFace]

This is the best game ever. I want three thousand pages in this thread when I get back later today.

[Fenrir]

I still got it on my laptop and play it from time to time. Never gets old. Awesome, awesome game. One of the PC's all-time best. :up:

Yeah, I think we'll be the only two people in this thread (and in this forum) for some time. :confused:

I love this game, amazing, sweet main character... I never got around to playing DE2.

I'm sure it's a legally acquired laptop as well.

[Kalit]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!! Deus Ex is the best game ever. I love it so much, I need to re beat it soon.. wish I had it on my laptop so I could play it now. And DE 2 isn't as good, sort of buggy, but still a great game. Then again, I don't think a sequel could be release that would be better, or even just as good, as Deus Ex.

[AgentDenton]

I'm sure it's a legally acquired laptop as well.
I'm over here, he's a different person :o


Anyways, yeah, this thread is all fact. Deus Ex really is the best game ever made, no other games even come close, they can't even touch it. The story was just too incredible to describe, better than the best I've read in any book, seen in any movie/tv show, or especially any other game, and it was woven into the overall setting and atmosphere so expertly, it was all just done so unbelievably well. The RPG mechanics were perfect, your conversation choices actually mattered, as did your aug and skill choices, you had real options on how to play the game. The voice acting was either awesome and screamed "bad ass" (JC, Walton), or was just charming and really made the whole character (the homeless bum characters for instance, I could recognize their voices anywhere and automatically know that it was a bum, and that I should ready the dragons tooth). "From God" indeed. This game was just perfect :up:

[Addendum]

In the realm of movies, there are a few movies that embody movie perfection. The Godfather. The Seven Samurai. Citizen Kane. To Kill A Mockingbird.

In the realm of videogames, Deus Ex embodies video game perfection.

[KingOfDreams]

I like the sequel better, but both are cool.

[Oerwinde]

I hate how they make it look like you can actually make choices in the game for yourself, but you really can't. I wanted to support the guys I worked for, and it had all the dialogue options that allowed you to do it, but the game wouldn't continue until you chose the other option. I thought that sucked.

[WhatsHisFace]

I wish I didn't have to betray UNATCO too. It was pretty disappointing that nothing happened at all if you decided not to, but oh well.

I felt like a scumbag when I switched sides.

At least you can get three endings though, even though they're all brought about ONLY how you play the last level. :(

Any idea when?

"Only the first 4 OBJECT phases are being released along with a demo map. This will be the first release of probably 2 or 3 in total. This first release will NOT include characters (although we plan on chucking one in just as a demo). It will most likely not include weapons. It is ONLY OBJECTS FROM THE FIRST 4 PHASES - yes - i'll say it again - phases 1-4 only. It will be released as an easy self installing exe, how modern :D."

"And the release date? ...End of September boys and girls."

It'll be interesting seeing this.. it'll probably take a while still to get it completely done, but ah well, hopefully it's going to kick ass.

[WhatsHisFace]

Luckily, September's almost over. :D

grossss

[WhatsHisFace]

Let's buy the rights to Deus Ex. Eidos sure won't be using them.

[Kalit]

So I'm replaying this game.. except trying not to kill anyone (besides the one person you have to kill). I don't think I'll last.. mainly because I'm still at the statue and I'm out of prod charges....and I need a quick silent takedown. And no gas grenades.. just a baton and tranq darts.. lol.

[CM Punk]

You can actually ghost through the game, if you have the patience for it. You don't need a takedown yet, just wait for an opening.

[Kalit]

Yea.. I killed 2 people. Not too big of a spoiler (not really one at all) but I'll throw it in tags anyway... I had to save Gunther, and there was a guy sitting in a chair, and another patrolling the hallway, and I couldn't get past them to grab Gunther (isn't it optional for that? anyway, I wanted to do it anyway). Also, awesome news first release of that HDTP is available... doesn't have too much, but check it out: http://offtopicproductions.com/hdtp/

[WhatsHisFace]

yes!!!!

sO WHAT does IT HAVE???

[Kalit]

1. gunther hermann
2. 2 demo weapons - 1 crowbar and 1 baton
3. objects and their new models and textures from phases 1-4
4. demo pack of the items package
5. a demo map to see all the new things together in one place - along with their old versions for comparison
6. the single player HDTP exe of course!

[WhatsHisFace]

I just tried to install Deus Ex. It installs, but when I go to run the game, it says "insert the CD" even though IT'S IN THE DRIVE!!!

[Kalit]

Uh.. I'm not sure, using the shortcut it created for me didn't work, try just running hdtp.exe in the deus ex/system folder.

[WhatsHisFace]

Deus Ex apparently decided to hate my computer when I reverted it to factory settings. Seems like I'll be playing a lot more Xbox360.

[Kalit]

That sucks, I'm re-playing this game, except killing as few people as possible. So far I've only killed one person which is Anna Navarre (sp?).. since it seemed impossible to escape the UNATCO HQ without killing her.., and right now I'm up to when you first go to Hong Kong with Jock, and your helicopter gets locked down. I also need to play through System Shock 2 before Bioshock comes out next year.. maybe this time I'll try using only psi powers since I didn't use any last time. SS2 is one of the hardest games ever... and creepiest (sp?).

[WhatsHisFace]

It's possible to finish Deus Ex without killing anyone. It's un-fun as hell, but you can do it.

Even the few you think you might have to kill can survive... ;)

You can get away with not killing Gunther in Paris, but I can't see how you can avoid killing Anna Navare.

[WhatsHisFace]

You have to go into the vents opposite the subway rail and make a MAD getaway.

Once she loses you it's easy.

[Addendum]

But when you escape from the MJ12 area in UNATCO, you have to kill Anna to leave

[Kalit]

Actually you can just run past her too, that's what i did, haha. But yea, in UNATCO HQ, I don't see how you can leave, because the one guy (forgot name.. ) will only give you a key if you kill her, unless there's another place to get the key from?

[WhatsHisFace]

There's a guide on the internet that tells you how to do it. I'll see if I can find it.

[drmick]

Nitpicking, but, didn't the PS2 get a Deus Ex as well?

In which case this is the wrong forum. You wouldn't want to seem elitist now, would you?

Actually.......

[Addendum]

Deus Ex on PS2 isn't worth it.

Given the limitations of the PS2, some of the levels that on the PC were massive, were split up into smaller areas.

The only positive was the opening movie, and the three endings.

[Kalit]

I couldn't even play past 10 minutes in the PS 2 version due to the absolutely horrible resolution.

[WhatsHisFace]

Deus Ex was never meant to be on the crappy PS2 hardware.

[MrHateYourself]

I couldn't even play past 10 minutes in the PS 2 version due to the absolutely horrible resolution.

Well, you know, PCs are superior for a reason, and PC to console ports usually suck for a reason.....and don't blame the PS2 for the resolution. It's the crappy nature of TVs that forced that resolution on far too many consoles. Thankfully that's being fixed....

System Shock. There also is great classic.

[Addendum]

Yup yup.

System Shock 1 is excellent. As is System Shock 2.

And since both are available for free on the Net, everyone has no excuse to play either.

[WhatsHisFace]

and don't blame the PS2 for the resolution.
I'm not blaming the PS2 for it's resolution, I'm blaming it for not having enough RAM to properly present the game, and I'm blaming it for having control stick sensitivity that makes it really unfair to shooters.

Also, I partly blame the developers for making such a bad interface, but oh well.

I got it cheap for the Xbox, but never persisted very far into it.

The sequel isn't as good as the original, but the sequel is still better than most of the games out there.

Holy crap, that's a great deal. I always meant to play the Deus Ex games (to date, I've only played the Deus Ex 1 demo), but I never got around to it. Both for $20 is a great incentive to finally do it. :up:
Deus Ex 3 Debut Teaser (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/28286.html)
Gametrailers put up a stupid Unreal Tournament commercial before getting to the DE3 teaser, and I kept thinking, "This isn't at all like what I remember the first two Deus Exes being about..." Then I saw the title and the actual teaser came up and I was happy. You've gotta respect a teaser that features a fetus.

Deus Ex is one of those games that improves your psyche. I highly recommend it. And it's a steal at that price.

[TheCorpulent1]

The controls were kind of wonky in Invisible War, if I recall correctly. They confused me when I played the demo for that. But I'm sure I'll get used to them.

Would you consider a gamepad or mouse/keyboard better for the series? I have both, but Deus Ex blends so many genres that I can't really figure which one would work better.

It's odd. I absolutely stand firm that Deus Ex 1 is a keyboard and mouse game, however, even when you alter the settings in "Invisible War" to make the controls less "wonky" it still feels a bit off. I thought it felt very natural on the Xbox, but I suggest you just re-map the keys and alter the mouse speeds to make it feel better. :(

For Deus Ex 3, they should play Bioshock to see how to really do the interface for a console-PC co-development game. :word:

[TheCorpulent1]

Okay, cool. My instinct was mouse/keyboard, since the game is entirely first-person, but I wasn't sure.

[WhatsHisFace]

I started playing through the original again once I got the game off Steam. I was in Morgan Everett's house and for the first time discovered Lucius DeBeers, and killed him. Anyone know what this changes?

[WhatsHisFace]

Just visited the Deus Ex 3 forum. What a freaking mess.

[TheCorpulent1]

I went on Steam last night all ready to buy the Deus Ex games, but I've been wanting a good racing/destruction game too, and I saw FlatOut 1 and 2 for $25. Rather than waiting, reading some reviews, and looking at some gameplay videos to decide whether I'd like the games, like I usually do, I just bought them on a whim.

They're boring. I fail at life. :(

[WhatsHisFace]

At first I thought you said Fallout. I was going to tell you it wasn't a bad move. But Flat Out.... geez. :(

[TheCorpulent1]

I played Burnout at my sister's house on the holiday and loved it, but it wasn't on PC. Then I saw FlatOut and noticed it had a lot of similar elements in the screenshots. But it's not nearly as good. :(

I'll buy Deus Ex pretty soon, though. Forgive me. :o

[GFreeman]

You passed on Deus Ex for...for Flat Out? For this there can be no forgiveness :csad:

[블라스]

Five things you can be pretty sure of about Deus Ex 3
26-Nov-2007 Start managing your expectations now.

1. It'll be primarily a console game. Sorry. We wish it weren't so, but all major multi-platform titles are these days, and it's definitely not going to be a PC exclusive.

2. It won't take after Invisible War - at least not intentionally. Deus Ex 2 wasn't an accident, it was an intentional shift toward a shorter game type with more freedom in which factions you could work for, and a further future sci-fi setting. And given the general fanbase reaction to it, no sane developer in the world is going to try that again.

3. It won't be as long as Deus Ex. No-one can afford to make thirty-five hour action games to today's graphical standards - art and asset costs are far too high, and if Valve's stats are anything to go by, less than half of gamers can even be bothered to finish a five-hour game.

4. It will disappoint almost all Deus Ex fans. Sorry again. This is not to say it won't be great, it's to say that Deus Ex fans are insane. I know because I'm one of them. If Deus Ex 3 isn't exactly the same as Deus Ex 1, possibly with slightly prettier graphics and more fluid animation, we will go bat****. I might mail someone my left ear. I'm getting angry just thinking about the notion of a game that isn't Deus Ex to the letter. We're all like this, Deus Ex broke our brain in some fundamental way that renders us unable to appreciate anything else without that dark caveat lurking at the back of our minds: "This isn't Deus Ex." Crysis isn't Deus Ex. Stalker isn't Deus Ex. Bioshock isn't Deus Ex. Deus Ex 2 isn't Deus Ex. When Jesus Christ himself returns to save every one of our souls, there'll be a grouchy huddle of pallid nerds muttering "Eh, he's no Deus Ex."

5. It'll be awesome. This is just a feeling I have. There's too much that's great about Deus Ex to screw up an honest attempt to recapture that game's glory. In Walton Simon's words: "We got a lot of things right when we made you, Denton." An e-mail exchange between my editor and I back in May, when Deus Ex 3 murmurs first started:

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=176374

[GFreeman]

If I were to log onto myspace and write "this dude is wrong", it would hold as much weight.

[블라스]

Hahaha yeah ok.

[GFreeman]

It's just some dude stirring up **** with no info. It won't "primarily" be a console game anymore than it'll be "primarily" a PC game, multi-platform games have been balancing the two pretty well for a long time now. It'll have a UI that suits the PC and it'll have a UI that suits the consoles, and really, that's the only difference that needs to be there. There's nothing inherent about the PC or the consoles that would make one require different gameplay.

The idea that it won't be at least close to Deus Ex's length is also pretty damn stupid and baseless. I can name at least 3 games from this year alone that are huge successes and have equal or greater length.

It's just a guy saying random ****, no more credible than anyone else saying random ****. It's not like he's been given a copy of the design documents or anything.

Games longer than ten hours are only possible on a PC. You should also do some research and educate yourself to the fact that all console games are platformers and all PC games are RPGs.

JC Denton is going to kill Walton Simmons by jumping on his head :csad:

I can't wait to see Gunther Herman as a boss in "Deus Ex Land". He'll be a multi-stage boss who transforms each time you defeat him. The best part is of course, once you beat him he forfeits his magical key and then you unlock Vandenberg Naval Base Castle. :o

I'm really glad CVG is here to remind me how games for consoles are made. Morrowind, Bioshock and Mass Effect almost made me forget.

Tomb Raider Legend engine to be used for Deus Ex 3. (http://www.developmag.com/news/28878/Deus-Ex-3-to-use-Tomb-Raider-Legend-game-engine)

Ok, we might as well move the thread to the multiconsole section....this game has "XBOX 360" written all over it :dry:

[TheCorpulent1]

Tomb Raider Legend performed very well on PC, actually. Maybe it'll just be a straight-up solid port to all systems it's released on.

[WhatsHisFace]

They'll LCD Spec it, which I don't really mind since Deus Ex 1 didn't have the best graphics of the time. Deus Ex: Invisible War had amazing graphics for it's day, though.

As long as the gameplay, story and level design is at the quality it should be, the game can look exactly the same as the original for all I care.

[XtromaniaK]

After Kane and Lynch, I really don't think Eidos could make this game up to the standard of even Invisible War. I'm trying to look at the bright side, though.

[TheCorpulent1]

We'll never know until we see it. I'd all but written Tomb Raider games off before Eidos passed the development over to Crystal Dynamics. Eidos is definitely capable of making good decisions for their games.

[WhatsHisFace]

After Kane and Lynch, I really don't think Eidos could make this game up to the standard of even Invisible War. I'm trying to look at the bright side, though.

Io tried a new IP and it didn't quite resonate with reviewers. I'm still interested in the game, though I feel it'll be a let-down from Freedom Fighters regardless.

Anyway, Io's next game is Hitman 5 anyway, so that'll give them something familiar to work with.

Eidos Montreal is highly trusted by Eidos and has several people from the Ubi Montreal teams responsible for SplinterCell and Farcry: Instincts so I'm sure they'll have a strong campaign and a great stealth model. Overall, I'm expecting very high quality if not the deepest experience available.

[GFreeman]

I thought it would be using Source, since Warren Spector bought that a while ago, I forgot he wasn't there anymore. Still, I have faith in the team that's doing this, they're new, so past failures like Kane and Lynch shouldn't really effect their chances.

[WhatsHisFace]

I never thought it would use Source, despite the similarities to that awful Vampire game. Source is just a lousy engine, especially in the wake of the new heavy-hitters.

[블라스]

Wait, Bloodlines was great (what little I played of it).

WHF: I'm wondering who you are...machine or mannequin?
With parts made in Japan, you are the modern man.

You've got a secret you've been hiding under your skin
Your heart is human, your blood is boiling, your brain I.B.M.
So if I see you acting strangely, I won't be surprised
You're just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep you alive...just keep you alive!
Somewhere to hide to keep you. alive

You're not a robot without emotions, you're not what you see
You've come to help me with my problems, so we can be free
You're not a hero, you're not a saviour, forget what you know
You're just a man whose circumstances went beyond your control
Beyond your control...we all need control
You need control...we all need control!!!

[WhatsHisFace]

That better be a James-Bond-esque song in tribute to me! :mad:

[블라스]

It's actually Mr. Roboto by Styx :(

[GFreeman]

But it has your acronym in it, so it's just as good.

[TheCorpulent1]

It's like it was made for him. :)

[블라스]

I know!

[WhatsHisFace]

I'm so excited Blas is getting this game.

[블라스]

Can we play multiplayer? :confused:

[GFreeman]

When you get the game

[WhatsHisFace]

Blas just stop asking questions and get the game. Right now.

[XtromaniaK]

He'll get it in a year, just like the 360. :csad:

Here's an early interview with Warren Spector when the game was 60% done.

[Purple Prancer]

Deus Ex has been giving me nothing but problems :cmad:

[WhatsHisFace]

I told you, just get close to the wall to plant the LAMs!!! :mad:

[GFreeman]

I used to accidentally throw lams against a really close wall and blow off my legs all the time :csad:

[WhatsHisFace]

The 3D-arm actually rotates to enforce your understanding of whether the LAM will be placed or not. It's dynamic feedback for F-sake, how can you go wrong?

[TheCorpulent1]

What's a LAM?

[GFreeman]

An explosive device in Deus Ex that can act as a grenade, proximity mine, or time bomb.

[Addendum]

And also useful in scaling walls

[Purple Prancer]

I told you, just get close to the wall to plant the LAMs!!! :mad:

I have more serious problems now. The entire game in general is running at like 200% speed :csad::huh:. I can't even read or hear most of the dialogue :dry:

[GFreeman]

Haha, I had that last night when I bought it on Steam.

Go to c - program files - steam - steamapps - common - deus ex - system, and right-click, properties for DeusEx.exe (it'll be the one called Deus Ex and using the icon, if you don't see file extensions), and set the program compatibility to Windows 98. If that doesn't work, try this (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=623426). A lot of older games have this issue with newer systems.

[WhatsHisFace]

I actually had that problem with Rune, another Unreal-powered game. It truly is an annoyance. :(

[블라스]

Deus Ex 3 = Prequel...http://n4g.com/News-90355.aspx

[WhatsHisFace]

I think N4G's gotten a bit too news-happy again. The Deus Ex 3 teaser also has images from Leonardo Davinci's notebook. That doesn't mean the game takes place during the renaissance.

However, the big hint in the Deus Ex 3 teaser that suggests it's NOT a prequel is the nanotechnologically augmented fetus. In Deus Ex 1, nanotech was only doable on certain DNA types, namely the Dentons. In Deus Ex 2, it's made compatible with everyone. At the end of Deus Ex 2, JC Denton realizes the best way to improve on humanity is to give everyone nanomods and essentially turns himself into a Universal Constructor for the sake of mankind. Only after that point would it be possible for a fetus to be augmented.

So anyway, yeah. WHF > N4G.

[GFreeman]

They weren't compatible with everyone in Deus Ex 2, that's one of the things the WTO wanted to prevent.

[WhatsHisFace]

The ones from ApostleCorp worked with everyone. Not the regular ones though.

[GFreeman]

I think those put Paul into a coma though. They had to come from JC to be of any use to people. So unless you got a nano-******* from JC Denton, you had a slim chance of getting augmented. And I think he really only wanted to give everyone the infolink aug, none of the cool ones :csad:

[WhatsHisFace]

I don't know. I was just playing DX2 and Chief Morgan says how ApostleCorp's nanoaugs were compatible with everyone, unlike the Piezochem architectures. I think ApostleCorp was making their new nanites to revive the two brothers and once that was complete, JC was able to be revived after you reawaken him by activating his memories (Best sequence in videogaming ever. Even better than everything in Ocarina of Time.)

[GFreeman]

It's been a while since I played. I just remember Paul being in a coma in Cairo. I'm not sure how I revived him. Maybe they fixed their **** and they just needed JC to be a universal constructor.

[WhatsHisFace]

Paul went into a coma for being such a bleeding-heart traitor.

But actually I think he was performing experiments on himself with different combinations of nanites to see which would work in the world and it just went wrong after a while.

[WhatsHisFace]

Correction: Paul was cryogenically frozen in order to allow himself to be worked on in a time where technology had improved. Much like Walt Disney.

[XtromaniaK]

Walt Disney.. That crazy S.O.B. :csad:

Look what Disney's been reduced to without him! I think he might just kill himself if he ever sees the future.

[WhatsHisFace]

If I ever see a movie with a computer-generated penguin in it again, I'm shooting a missile at Disneyworld.

[XtromaniaK]

I'll help you. Disneyland, Disneyworld.. etc. all deserve to be blown up after High School Musical, and especially High School Musical 2. GGNNYAARRGHHH MY BRAIN!

[WhatsHisFace]

I've had enough of boys looking and acting like girls as well. From now on, every man in every movie needs to be as manly as Leonidas. If not, more.

Which is sad, because Gerard Butler is in "P.S. I Love You" and seems to be not very manly... :(

But he's dead the whole time, so I guess it's forgivable.

[XtromaniaK]

Yeah, you can't be very manly when you're dead. It's only natural that, at some point, the testosterone leaves your veins and you are reduced to a mere shell of a SPARTAAHH!!!

[WhatsHisFace]

If he dies in the movie, maybe within the first ten minutes or whatever, he's shouting "Persian COWARDS!!!" in the hospital room. :cool:

[XtromaniaK]

Every movie he's in is now required to have some reference to 300 and Sparta.

[WhatsHisFace]

It's true. How Arnold had an "I'll be back" quip in several movies, Gerard needs to scream "SPAH-TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" at the most inappropriate times.

[XtromaniaK]

Actually, Gerard Butler in a WWII movie screaming "SPAR-TAAHHHH!!!" would make my evening.

[WhatsHisFace]

It seems like his movie line-up isn't too good. There's one where he's living in a videogame (it's most-likely going to be awful) and then zero action flicks.

Such a shame, considering he single-handedly delivered the action-performance of the year.

[XtromaniaK]

He could've been like Ahnold, too. Spartanator: Hell's Diner, Leonidas-garden Cop, etc.

[WhatsHisFace]

Maybe he can be in the new Conan movie. 300 is a heck of a resume, and while he probably doesn't want to be known as the guy who yells and swings swords, he'd be nuts to not want to follow in Arnold's shoes.

[XtromaniaK]

He could always reprise Sean Connery's role in The Highlander too, if Conan is not available.

[TheCorpulent1]

Gerard Butler as a young Juan Sanchez Villalobos Ramirez = win.

[WhatsHisFace]

That's a good point. As a Scotsman, he can do whatever Connery would have done. I guess now it makes sense that he was considered for Bond.

[XtromaniaK]

Gerard Butler as a young Juan Sanchez Villalobos Ramirez = win.

Hey you. I like you, don't ever leave. :csad:

:grin: :hehe:


WHF: Yeah, that's why I brought the Highlander up. I remembered that Butler was Scottish.

[WhatsHisFace]

Juan Sanchez Villalobos Ramirez is the longest name of all time.

[XtromaniaK]

You should see some people from Asia Minor, etc with 10-12 names. It's absolutely ridiculous, I'd find myself forgetting my full name all of the time if I had even 6-7 names.

[TheCorpulent1]

Ramirez was an Egyptian (I think) serving as the head of something or other for the Spanish king, though. No connection to Scotland whatsoever.

Which, of course, just makes the fact that Connery was his typical Scottish self in the role even better. :up:

[XtromaniaK]

Hah, an Egyptian Scot with a traditional Spanish name? How convoluted can you get? Great stuff, regardless.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, he is immortal, so I'm sure he's accumulated a lot of names over the years. :)

[WhatsHisFace]

Maybe he spent a lot of time in Scotland.

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe, but I doubt he would've had a Scottish accent if anyone other than Connery played him.

[WhatsHisFace]

That's true. Connery's so cool that he doesn't need to change accents just for the sake of a movie making sense, though.

[TheCorpulent1]

Of course. That's why he still gets work. That and his inimitable sexiness.

[WhatsHisFace]

Sean Connery is the man now, dawg.

http://yourethemannowdog.ytmnd.com/

[TheCorpulent1]

But he gives it away to everyone. He's classy. :up:

[WhatsHisFace]

So I beat Deus Ex: Invisble War just now... damn good game.

[XtromaniaK]

Yeah. I remember playing it when my brother bought it. It was a pretty cool game, though if the original Deus Ex is as good as you and Stephen say then I should definitely purchase that off Steam.

[GFreeman]

You should.

[XtromaniaK]

I'll wait until I'm sure how much money I have to my name/account before I make any purchases, however.

[GFreeman]

I bought Half Life Source this morning for $9.95...wish I hadn't. WHF briefly convinced me it was vastly superior to HL2, but it's not. So don't let him fool you too.

[XtromaniaK]

Yeah, I'm not going to waste $10 on a Source game anyways. I'd only consider purchasing it if it was <$5. Otherwise I'm keeping what I get on Steam pretty limited.

Though, I do have to get Wolfenstein 3D.

[GFreeman]

You need to get Left 4 Dead when it comes out.

[XtromaniaK]

It's going to be multiplayer-enabled, then, I assume?

It also depends on when it comes out, because any time before early January is a no-go because I'll have yet to set up my new PC. However, if it's after that there shouldn't be any problem. I just have to know if it's good before I get it, don't want to waste money on a trash game.

[GFreeman]

It's multiplayer-centric, like Team Fortress. The primary focus is doing for co-op what Counter Strike did for competitive online play, and it looks pretty good to me. It's being done by Valve and Turtle Rock, which is a Valve off shoot. I'm getting it, and I'm sure I can whittle down WHF's will and make him get it too.

[XtromaniaK]

As long as it's decent and worth the purchase, then I'll get it.

[WhatsHisFace]

I bought Half Life Source this morning for $9.95...wish I hadn't. WHF briefly convinced me it was vastly superior to HL2, but it's not. So don't let him fool you too.
I never told you that. If you were asking me what to put $10 into on Steam I would have probably told you to get Commandos.

But yeah Extro, get Deus Ex. It's only $10...

I don't know if I'll be getting Left 4 Dead. My computer's having trouble running Source games lately. I can run Unreal 2.0 games fine though.

[Calavera]

possibly my all time favorite game.

[GFreeman]

Steam doesn't log conversations unfortunately, but I can remember you telling me more than once about how HL2 pales in comparison - it doesn't. HL2 is the far superior game. You owe me $9.95 :cmad:

[TheCorpulent1]

Half-Life was the better game to me, but that's mostly because it was a genre-changing game whereas HL2 is just a really good game that mostly sticks to the FPS conventions brought about by its predecessor.

Really, you should've just waited for Black Mesa Source. :dry:

[GFreeman]

I've been waiting for a long, long time now. The mod doesn't even have a public beta yet.

[TheCorpulent1]

I know. But when it's released, it'll be that much sweeter.

In the meantime, though, you could try downloading some of the mods for HL: Source that raise the graphic standard a teensy, tiny little bit.

[WhatsHisFace]

Half-Life 1 IS better than Half-Life 2.

[TheCorpulent1]

In all things save graphics, yes. And once Black Mesa Source comes out, it'll beat it there, too.

[GFreeman]

Horse ****. Half Life 1 has ****ty gameplay and a ****ty story.

[WhatsHisFace]

The gameplay is exactly the same as Half-Life 2 save for the fact that every two levels there's a lousy go-kart getaway sequence filled with every driving cliche imaginable. And before you say Half-Life 1 had a bad story, just keep in mind that while it may only have been an elaborate version of Doom, what a version it was! And it had many more interesting plot-points and set-pieces than Half-Life 2. Citadel or not.

[GFreeman]

Wrong on every count.

[XtromaniaK]

I'd have to say that HL2 was okay, but the vehicle sequences were dull after the first ten minutes of them. Ravenholm was awesome, however.

[WhatsHisFace]

Half-Life 2 talk... sinks the Deus Ex ship.

[Zenien]

Half Life 2 Episode 1 is better than Half Life 2 (which was just too long winded)., half Life 1, and Deus Ex

[RED_Rider]

Half-Life 2 talk... sinks the Deus Ex ship.

Actually they have nothing to do with each other. HL2 is a classic FPS with superb level design while Deus Ex is a classic RPG with great story and superb gameplay. Also, Deus Ex was name the best PC game of all time by PC Gamer or Magazine. HL2 was second.

I love both and can't wait for Deus Ex 3.

[WhatsHisFace]

Half Life 2 Episode 1 is better than Half Life 2 (which was just too long winded)., half Life 1, and Deus Ex
Nobody has an opinion like that and gets away with it. You probably only like Half-Life because it's developed so close to Canada. Time for America to kick your ass. I don’t know about stripes, but you're sure as hell about to see stars.

You're on the right track. My disappointment with Half-Life 2 commands that I shoot it down and criticize it whenever I get the chance. Having it in a Deus Ex discussion means I have to take action.

But yeah, Deus Ex 3 will be incredibly awesome.

[GFreeman]

But probably not Half Life 2 awesome.

[WhatsHisFace]

Whoa...

Just... just whoa.

You're never allowed to use the name JCDenton again.

[GFreeman]

That's exactly what I demand to be called from now on. JCDenton fools.

[WhatsHisFace]

You're going to die before you're called JC Denton!

[RED_Rider]

JC Denton... God, I miss that classic. A true masterpiece. Hope they don't screw it up like Deus Ex 2 (Which was good but way behind the original IMO).

Probably a few more news stories to reinforce your lack of faith in humanity.

Before I go, I'm going to make sure I appear in one of those news story. Soooo many people around me have it coming. None of them are infants, or clinically retarded, so it probably won't have the same impact as most of my news stories, but I should still get a headline or two. "The Butcher Of Tennessee Strikes Again!", look for it.

[Barney Stinson]

You know I'v had this game for about 5 years and I only played some of it today and then took it out because that graphics are so dated. I'll stick to playing Crysis and COD4. I feel bad because it seems like an interesting game from what you people say and I remember it being extensively talked about when it 1st came out.

[XtromaniaK]

Prepare to be utterly annihilated by GFreeman and co. :csad:

[Addendum]

I guess you also don't watch movies in black and white, no matter if they're some of the best ever made (Seven Samurai, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Schindler's List {for most of the film], Dr. Strangelove, Red Beard, Rashomon, most of the Marx Brothers movies), any action movie that was made before the advent of CGI, or for that matter the movies that first used CGI because the graphics look so dated, even though they were all being extensively talked about when they first came out.

[Barney Stinson]

I watch and own many older films and ironically enough, every movie you mentioned I own on dvd and vhs. Hell, my favorite Bond movies are the early connery ones...I'm a movie whore that would put most video shops to shame. My collection is THAT extensive...and that is one of the reasons I never got round to playing deus ex in the first place because I was building up my movie collection but you can't assume that, I'm like that just because I was turned off by Deus ex' graphics. Hell, I still play old psx games.
