let's be honest, only battery park is good

Would you like to play a remake of this? The game should have been made using the quake engine.

We never get a straight glownigger simulator where you don't side with the dirty rebels

That's just James Bond.

So the Unatco arc basically takes place within the same night right?

Why can't games just let me do my fucking job?

>>10916721
Completely false, the whole Hong Kong sequence is one of the finest parts of the game.

>>10918819
Hong Kong is before the military airport level you idiot

>>10918834
and after the first fucking airport level in the game you numpty

>>10916721
I recently replayed it and loved the whole game
well maybe except for the graveyard and silo, those were duds.

>>10918704
Are you one of those people who drive a truck in real life just to go back home and play Euro Truck Simulator?

"In the fresh" is a baller way to introduce yourself and I was saying it for month after playing DX

>>10920807
everyone cringed when you said it and wished you would go away

>>10920810
You think I gave shit? I was fresh.

>>10920794

>>10920812

Savage.

>>10918653
>pyramids of Egypt
I don't remember this in the game design document, must have been cut really early

>>10920027
Predicted more than that

>Deus Ex started out as an Ultima Underworld clone

>>10921004
>>started

>>10921004
the underworld of ultima is very dark

if only you knew how bad things in lord british's domain really are

It's estimated that 98% of the global wealth is tied up in the bank accounts of avatars who haven't even returned to this world in over 30 years.

"you can knock people out and carry them through area/level transitions" taken to its only logical conclusion.

>>10921094
For me it's taking the expensive vintage gift wine you get from the triad leaders as a gift all the way to Area 51 and chugging it all before hitting the switch to detonate.

>>10916721
nah it declines after leaving Paris

The look on his face when he wakes up and sees that I merged with Helios to become a god among men is going to be SO worth it.

>>10921118
The idea of Denton picking the ending while shitfaced tickles me.

>>10922419
>when he wakes up
Uh, anon....

>>10917583
I love it.

>>10916721
I think it is really around Paris where rushed parts begin to be easily visible. But likewise Half-life takes a nose dive after you reach the surface for a first time. And both are AAA projects in 90-s denomination and both had budgets extended like 2x+ during development. Obviously they both spent the additional dev time on parts more players will see and it was a right decision in both cases.

I'm thinking about reinstalling for another playthrough. Anyone have any experience with the community update, is it compatible with GMDX, and which version of GMDX is better?
>inb4 vanilla only
>inb4 just install Deus Exe

>>10924958
I was in the same situation couple of weeks ago. Read installation guides for half an hour and decided that I am not picky enough today and used Just-Install-Revision method from Steam. I know that it changes too much, but it just worked for me and it was nice to revisit Hells Kitchen after many years.

Name three

>>10924885
I hate Basedjaks so much.

>>10925138
I've been thinking about trying Revision, what exactly does it change besides some graphics and audio?

>>10925538
Not that anon, but it includes various gameplay modifier options, new game+, and built-in versions of the Shifter and Biomod mods that can be toggled on. There is also a survival mode, but it's kinda underwhelming unless you just like mowing down enemies as they run at you in a straight line.
There are some level design changes as well, but they're mostly in the main 'hub' areas to encourage exploration before you go do specific tasks. Some aesthetic/design changes are questionable enough to make me not recommend it to new players, but overall it's nice to try if you've played through the vanilla game a bunch.

>>10924958
Shifter Mod to make it more RPG.

>>10920784
And all they did was copy every conspiracy theory they could find.

>>10929395
Game writers have no original ideas.

>>10929395
No they didn't

>>10916462
vanilla, GMDX, or transcended?

>>10931189
vanilla of course, this shouldn't even be a question

>>10931245
well it's a second (or maybe third now) run, but yeah can't go wrong with vanilla.

>>10918653
>no monsters or fantasy weapons!
>game has monsters and fantasy weapons

so how DO you get it to fucking run correctly on windows 10? Should I avoid the GoG version?
IIRC if I play it default the game is super crazy dark. However, I remember a goofy glitch where if I use whatever the recommended replacement renderer, if I go in a room and turn the lights on the lights just keep getting increasingly bright.

use this for the exe, fixes lots of stuff and also good for picking opengl/etc

>>10925139
nta but the paris streets map is rushed compared to previous hubs:
>Less shit to do and see, just one main mission (find the skullboots artthot and leave), only sidequest is bakery robbery, after the main mission you just fuck off and never come back. Unlike hell's kitchen that you came back several times to and Hong Kong that you didn't come back to but it was a proper hub area that many main missions took place in and there was so much to explore in just that one iteration.
>No cool breezer room like Paul's apartment and Tong's base - you only get Morgan's house and Chateau but those are separate levels already
>I like the challenge of mj12 troops but in previous areas you are free to explore and you weren't pestered by soldiers, maybe they wanted to fill the void of less content with combat(I know last NYC mission has soldiers in the streets but that's a one off thing that shows you how the plot escalated) - this take is debatable, since Paris is last hub and maybe that needs difficulty escalation, but I just wanted to add this to show you how different it is from previous hubs.
Overall in terms of gameplay and fun factor Hong Kong is the best one, followed by hells kitchen. In terms of visuals though Paris is not rushed at all, very pretty maps. I wish they did more city exploration and fan missions with this setting.

>>10931102
According to Warren Spector they did

>>10923176
Theres no proof but I promise you I stuck with the prod. Sadly the game doesnt see any distinction and the in game news reports his death, even though you can look at his body and see the "unconscious" info box pop up.

>>10931483
who plays with gamma like this? does your screen have a black crush or something?
