I've played many many games over the years and I think Deus Ex is still my favorite game ever.

VJGenova2987d ago

I went to play all the games I missed in the 90s, as I was primarily playing n64 and psx, to see what they were all about. I must say, I loved deus ex and thief but hated system shock 2.

I recently bought all the tomb raiders as well, because i could never make it anywhere when I tried them in my earlier years. Yet to pop them in though. Maybe someday?

I never played the PC version but I remember playing the PS2 version and it was great.
I would have no problem playing this again

oIITSBIIo2987d ago (Edited 2987d ago )

Nope, not for me at least, I've played it in 2013 after HR but could not enjoy it then tried it again later with Revision mod and no luck, too bad for me I guess.

I hope it gets a good remake.

Pastorfuzz2987d ago

I think I might get the PC version. Does anyone know if the Game of the year version on Steam will work with windows 7 ?

sullynathan2987d ago

It works on Windows 10 so it should work on Windows 7. I would recommend GMDX

Pastorfuzz2987d ago

Thanks for the info Sully. I'll give it a try.

quent2987d ago

Get the gog version, worth all the little extras and its drm free.

Deus Ex Deserves Better Than Being A Scapegoat For Embracer's Screw-Ups

Hanzala from eXputer says, "After multiple delays, cancellations, and ownership changes, the misfortune of Deus Ex continues; this gem of a series deserves better."

maelstromb93d ago (Edited 93d ago )

One can only hope at this point Embracer will need to generate an influx of cash flow, and what better way to do so than to sell off some of its IPs... namely Deus Ex, to a competent and talented studio capable of delivering a game noteworthy of the name in future. And thinking about it further, I don't know why Embracer would sit on the IP vs sell it if it means staying in business or not.

I liked the Red Dead 2 opening, certainly didn’t feel like a slog to me, but I enjoyed that whole game so for those who were just expecting ‘GTA but with cowboys’, that was probably not the opening they expected, and Red Dead 2 wasn’t the game they were hoping for …

First game that came to mind when I read the title, was Watch Dogs 2, because you’re expecting an open world sandbox game in sunny colorful San Francisco, and instead that opening has you crawling and sneaking around an incredibly boring office building …

PrimeVinister280d ago

Watch Dogs 2 is a decent game but not really a classic. The opening is awful though. You got that right.

I loved the RDR 2 opening hours the first time but going back to restart it is where the rub lies for me.

Yi-Long280d ago

Yeah, I agree it’s not a classic, but it was the first game I thought of where I really thought; Why would you make that design choice!? If you’re gonna do a thing like that in order to teach the player some basic sneaking controls, at least make the location a bit more interesting, like an abandoned theme park or gorgeous temple or whatever, but now the gameplay was restrictive and boring, but also the location itself.

PrimeVinister280d ago

@Yi-Long Definitely true re the worst possible choices being made for the opener of Watch Dogs 2. I did enjoy WD2 overall but that intro is baffling :-D

shammgod280d ago

Red Dead 2 opening was trash

A Fan-Made Mod Recreates Original Dues Ex In Unreal Engine 5; VR Mode Planned

A talented modder is creating an HD iteration of the classic Dues Ex (2000) experience in Unreal Engine 5. A new video reveals more details.

cammers1995419d ago

Cease and Desist DMCA imminent. All these fan projects get killed because they can't wait to show it off before it's complete.

Finish the mod/game then show it off and release it. If you announce it early then it can get taken down.
