This is the 2nd time someone has told me I double posted. I didnt double post as far as I know. Also I dont know if this forum has a different definition of a double post then all the other forums I have been on?

Isnt double posting where you post the same thing twice? Or use the qoute button instead od editing?

Nah, double-posting is simply posting two or more consecutive posts under the same name without anyone in between. Since there's an edit function, there's no reason to post twice.

Also, on Deus Ex, if anyone ever wants a challenge, go for the realism setting and try not to kill anyone. Some story-line characters will have to be killed, no avoiding that I believe, but everybody else you can just zap, stun, hit over the head or put to sleep with darts. This playstyle will make you appreciate tear gas a hell of a lot more. I once cleared an entire room containing about 5 guards with a tear gas grenade and my trusty baton. Took some reloading though.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Also I have been mostly shooting the bad guys in the head from around corners. I have zapped a few. I also tried using gas in the Renton Hotel in rescuing the hostages, but I got killed.
 
Bah. Reinstalling.

Deus Ex 2 was interesting, in what a deus ex game automatically is, but it was the sesame street version of the original.

Deus Ex is a bit like the Matrix, no one talks about the sequels. :P

I do enjoy that comparison 8-)

I favor Deus Ex amidst my top 3 favorite video games of all time. Naturally when Deus Ex 2 came out I was ecstatic; unfortunately, like so many others here, incredibly offended when we got to know her.

I recall reading a pretty hilarious review on Maximum PC Magazine when it came out. They called it long before most independent reviewers did, pure crap, the kind you find at the bottom of an out house.
 
Large review sites such as IGN and Gamespy still gave DX:IW a score of 90. The user-score at metacritic, based on 91 votes, is a 6 now, but that strikes me as a bit too harsh. The average of 8 they give is fine with me, perhaps I'd lower it to 7.5 though.

In a Warren Spector masterclass, together with Harvey Smith, Warren mentioned something quite true. Whereas Deus Ex delivered the player a world he could relate to, with its urban environments, slums, metal and concrete, and sometimes specks of advanced technology, DX:IW on the other hand went almost exclusively down the sci-fi road. I didn't notice that at the time I was playing it, but now that I look back on it, it seems to strike true. There was little in DX:IW that made me relate to the entire world, and the fact that the characters and voice actors were atrocious didn't help either.
 
That shit was ahead of its time. Really good. But I forgot to save for some time and then fucked up so... gotta try again one day!
 
I finished it. Once. Never will again.

I just can't stand FPP\RPG mix with firearms. They don't and never will work for me, no matter if the game is good or bad.
 
I am still waiting for HDTP to make my next round. It looks so great, but there is just so little info and they work on it since... I think since god created the world'n shit.
 
Played it a long time ago. Got to the second area (subway station or something underground) before uninstalling. It just never clicked with me.

Tried the sequal a few years later and didn't make it 10 minutes in.


I recently reinstalled the first one to give it another chance, but I was already sick of it halfway through the first level.
 
It's all about getting into the right mood and kinda being the character. Ellse it ain't the best FPS out there. But actually the way detection works isn't bad. It's quite good.

And I don't mind the FPS/RPG mix there, far better than in F3 IMO.
