Hi guys. What's the best way to play the game right now? I played the unmodified original 10 years ago and want to play it again. Now I'm interested in fashions that are relevant for 2024.

Thank you!

Why not this?

changes way too much.
the music, level deserving, literally everything. I would only play it if you want a unique twist for the game, but it's not the ideal way to play the base game itself. Gmdx is faithful to the original.

Kentie's Deus Exe adds in a lot of technical fixes and quality of life options without changing the game. I usually just play it with that.

Don't play it at all. Usually when you have some highly lauded classic game that somebody calls "overrated", they're just exaggerating and the game is worthy of its reputation. This is the rare exception, but calling it overrated isn't even accurate. Deus Ex is a fundamentally bad game and its success is owed almost exclusively to good timing and cringe cyberpunk aesthetic. Do not be fooled, the game is fucking shit.
>AI never provides any threat because the enemies have senses on par with Helen Keller and their only form of attack is shuffling towards you in a straight line like some kind of retarded homunculi while shooting erratically
>terrible gun mechanics, e.g. useless weapon augmentations or the reticule bloom that plagues the early game and requires several seconds of standing still just to let you fire an accurate shot even at point blank range
>half of the skills are outright useless
>retarded health system that tries to (poorly) simulate things like limb damage (that you can heal by pounding dozens of candy bars)
>you never need any other weapon after finding the reddit tooth sword
>everything in the game is stolen from popular cyberpunk movies and anime of the era, including the protagonist's outfit which is 1:1 copy of Blade (why would you ever copy a nigger?)
>ebin plot twist: YOU WERE THE HECKIN BAD GUY ALL ALONG
>terrible multiplayer mode that was literally tacked on post-release
>mountains and mountains of uninteresting bullshit dialogue, emails and words words words that only a turbovirgin with crippling asperger's would actually want to read
Fuck Deus Ex.

Emulate the PS2 version. It was made for consoles earlier in its development. The PC version sticks out like a sore thumb.

One doesn't need to argue with you for how rad this game is to play still to this day.
Hurr Durr the game's design and/or mechanics are shit.......
Name me a similar game of its time that beats/surpasses what Deusex had to offer?

Starting pistol is even more powerful than that. You can just shoot everything from far away without any silencer and no one will hear a sound.

What did Deus Ex offer other than great story? I guess environments and music are nice. Characters look incredibly ugly. Gameplay has always been atrocious. MGS released 2 years prior and is superior in every way.

[Anonymous No.10748381]

>>10748365
MGS while excellent, is not a PC game.
Deus Ex allowed for players to approach certain levels using different play styles and approaches.
Deus Ex is also considered by some to be an RPG more than a FPS.

so sick og you faggots and your stone wheel argument. i don't give a single fuck if there was anything else like it "at the time". i don't old gamea from my childhood for a fucking history lesson, if i'm still playing them it's because they're good games. whether or not dude sex had a unique approach to level design doesn't change the fact that it's a shit game and there are dozens of better alternatives.

PC from 2000 was more powerful than PS1. It's artistically worse.
I disagree regarding different approach to a degree. Many of them work very similarly or don't work very well hence useless augmentations. You have to know which ones are useless, and useful oves are picklock or hacking. Gameplay wise feels exactly the same.
I like Deus Ex don't get me wrong. I just think it's very overrated. Many old WRPGs didn't have good gameplay. That's why WRPGs became more like other genres. I think newer Deus Ex games are better all around except the story. Which is the main draw of the series so fair enough I guess.

People still play Deusex because it's good.
You're one lonely faggot trying to get your insignificant opinion across.
I pretty sure the majority of retro gamers believe this.

Ion storm made thief 1 2. The designers implemented different approach level designs. Okay maybe not for the first few levels but certainly mid to late stages of the level. I'm talking about thief that is. I believe the designers carried this across into Deusex.

I know I'm taking the bait here in a thread full of wiggly worms but just so OP doesn't get confused, the PS2 version is a novelty. It is acceptable if you simply have no way of playing the PC version.

I really liked the new expanded levels, the character models are trash but are optional.

The new stuff in some levels is something that the og team would have made for sure, like how HK was supposed to be so much bigger.


And there is something so good about old games with new level design taken to levels they could not do back then ( example is stuff like thief\doom maps, HL echoes etc ).
It tickles my brain.

Btw it is possible to have great looking models on Unreal engine. As I've said it was always an artistic issue. Unfortunately Deux Ex model mods seem a bit too amateurish. Unreal Tournament models always had a good vibe to them.

Unreal 1 is an amazing engine, never really got to its full potential.

Jesus there are still indie devs that use its lighting in unity with a hook\plugin or something cause it looks good and is very light on resources.

Deus Ex models are fine, I kinda love them, they have few and stiff animations.

every renderer is broken in some way, most are way too dark and one turns some models inside out, the one i settled on had no speed limit so time was really fast. but i locked the game to 60 fps in the nvidia control panel and then it worked.
at the start raise computer skill to trained just so you can turn off cameras and not hear the BEBEEP BEBEEP BEBEEP all the time. it also opens some doors
raise pistol to advanced because you hardly get any rifle ammo the first few maps
pick the gep gun at the beginning so you don't have to feverishly hoard lockpicks and multitools

Those skills aren't particularly necessary and you can find that out from the first stage. I go pistol, rifle and computer trained and go from there. Computer isn't even necessary to rescue Gunther since there's a code for the computer right near where you enter to go get him.

Unlike something like say, Morrowind...in Deus Ex you can level stupidly and still progress just fine if you explore and are careful enough. Like level irrelevant things.

Phoneposter here. WOW, what an incredible game already. People weren’t joking with the 1984 comparisons. Was surprised to see the concept of a “meme war” discussed in a game prior to Meta Gear Solid 2
