what sticks with me were the pequad/queequeg coffee shops, the digital pop star, and the main villain calling denton "young pliable" which is such a weird thing to call someone that its stuck with me for 15 years

All of you should play Prey if you haven't already. Holy hell it's good, I can't believe I almost passed it up because it's got the same name as that dumb shooter that came out ten or so years ago

I mean it's more a System Shock 2 successor than Deus Ex but I'm guessing 99% of people who like one also like the other

Yeah I just finished this, it's great. The story is more...subdued than deus ex by a long shot but yeah.

Good thread, good game. Thanks to whoever posted those PS2 CGI cutscenes, actually super dope. Couldn't imagine beating the game on a PS2 though, load times alone!

SS2, DX, both amazing games. I own IW too but really never played it. HR was enjoyable but felt super samey by the end. People are raving about Prey... I don't know if my comp can handle it though!

Tried out GMDX last night. The updated JC model is not the best and they haven't updated them all yet so there's a bit of a disconnect with all the original models walking around. The AI might be a little better, fixing the animations when people get hit and the noises they make might disguise this shortcoming a little more. The next version is due out in a few days so maybe they've fixed some of this stuff in the last couple of years.

Make sure you also get the DLCs, or get a GOTY version that comes with them. They're extremely good.

Dishonored is a really fun rear end in a top hat sim and apocalyptic setting is really cool.

For me the most memorable stuff was the way that the game would quit to desktop for a second whenever you hit a loading screen and that happened every five minutes since each area was freaking microscopic.

Deus Ex predicted the future
-World Trade Center gone
-Internet being subverted to make spying on people easier
-Whole world gets turned into a big oligarchy
-Terrorist hysteria after a attack rapidly advances the police state like nature of the US
such militarizing the police even more
-Future Detroit still sucks

Standard office desktops having both floating holographic screens and boxy wired telephones

Karkians were the big ones, you find them in the same areas as the greasels (little acid-spitting raptor dudes). They'll kill you in one hit but they're so big and slow you'll never really have trouble with them.

They are also fun to release from cages, I hope the scientists are collecting hazard pay.

I hated those little spitter dudes. Their acid would cloud your vision, and having JC scream "uff. uff. UGH!" for about five minutes.

I've played through the game a million times but somehow have forgotten about these creatures, I guess they're not very challenging.

Now the Greys that are made from apes are unforgettable.
