  • A late comer to Deus Ex

    Only jsut for a copy of this recently and find it to be the best game of its type i have ever played, so much freedom in the story line makes for re play value.

    i would definatly add this to my top 5 fav games from the PC and in my top 10 games of all time

    Absolutely.
    Almost as good as Thief.
    I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

      never played thief.. is that a similar game to deus ex? eg multi ways of solving problems and missions .

      i always hated the games that made you have to do exactly as the game wanted to complete a level.

        It is a great game, and does have replay value, though it wont be much different from one game to the next.

        If you like this I always recommend another old game with a similarly immersive plot, and that's System Shock 2. Word on the street has it you can even get that for free at a site I wont mention for my own safety.

            if it not different from one game to the next then it doesnt have that replay value..

            a game has to be different...

              deus ex is an excellent game. too bad the developers ruined its sequel.
              I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

                Almost? I honestly think Deus Ex (the original one) is the best game in that genre.

                  IMO Thief and Deus Ex are different subgenres of FPS, both of which have relatively few games in them.

                    almost finished my first run through Deus ex ... already planning my next time to be done at "Realistic" level and going for a non lethal approach... should be fun ....

                      Realistic is pretty unforgiving. You can't take many hits, and you have to take out the enemies slowly and safely.

                        Heh. I know a few people who have done realistic level using only a knife and no upgrades to their skills. They didn't even let themselves use medikits.

                          I played on realistic my first time through (yeah, lot's of reloading). It's the onyl difficulty I've ever played.

                            they obviosuly too clever to be playing games if they can survive all those missions without a single medkit

                            the rea ltricky bit is to get through with out a single death... well maybe just one death.... the old tranq darts and the prod wil lbe the main weopons..

                              I never managed to get out of the prison cell after New York - well i got out but had a very short life afterwards.

                              Always found that very frustrating as i think i'm missing a very large part of the game. Up until that point i was really enjoying it.

                              There is some replay value in that you can make different decisions at various points although i've not really got far enough to see their impact. So for me the main replay was choosing different weapons and skills.

                              I'm very obviously not a knife and no medikit person
