Yeah, if you can ignore the lol internet stuff, it's worth playing. The design is excellent and pure Deus Ex.

I think Getwellgamers did a screenshot lp of Deus Ex as well. I remember liking that one a lot more. He abused the AI a lot which was entertaining. I can't find it anywhere though. If you have archives (I don't or else I would try and provide a link), you might be able to find it.

GWG played the game in psychotic rear end in a top hat mode, so naturally it was fun.

All this talk of Versa-Life reminds me: The second time you go there, if you ignore what the game says and go through the front door instead of taking the secret entrance there's a giant version of those little spider bots guarding the entrance. To the best of my knowledge that's the only time you encounter one in the game.

I didn't know you even could just go in the front door. :aaaaa:

I did not know this--does that work for all augs? You wait until you have a second canister, and then you can install both?

No, the only reason it works for those is you have two torso slots. The rest are single slots.

That's probably the Manderley convo I have most. What sort of blew my mind was my third playthrough I let Manderley live, listened to his spiel, then kept talking to him after his cutscene. He eventually started saying something encouraging, but as I head toward the door I realized he had taken out a pistol and started shooting me.

I only wish there were more of a reaction from the secretary instead of JC!

I remember that made me laugh my rear end off the first time. Manderley attacking JC loving Denton with a pistol? That called for a good crowbaring.

Also, why the hell didn't they keep the original weapons designs from Deus Ex and pretty them up?

That one kind of ammo only thing is dumb. And it was also retarded forcing you to get a Biomod for hacking.

The universal ammo's one of those things that makes complete sense in the setting but they really should've put gameplay first.

If you've already picked up a gun, then you keep that one. If you pick up one of your old guns, you get it with mods intact. So drop everything before you grab your old equipment, then pick up the new stuff to get the ammo.

GTA4 was amazing. Not one for one accurate at all, but it feels exactly like New York and I recognized all the fake neighborhoods. loving spot on. And Battery Park in Deus Ex isn't that far off, I went down there once at night and it was definitely weird. No zyme at the eagle statue though.

Paris is my favorite part of the game, but Hong Kong is definitely the most free-roaming. After Paris it's all missions building up to the climax, no more wandering around. That's no reason to stop playing though, it's all good and if you stop now you miss the best conversation in the game.

I just recently tried to play IW and I can't play it for long periods of time. It just doesn't feel right, from setting to movement. The animations are also pretty sucky too.

IW was better at the time because physics was still new and novel, and the physics were hosed up in the most hilarious way. I ran through half the game with the strength aug on beating people to death with corpses and trash cans.
