...Been some mighty fine game in the past ten years there, muchacho.

I know, but that only goes to prove just how amazing Deus ex is. I mean I'm placing it above effing Portal and Half-Life2 and all the Blizzard and old BioWare games (before they got simplified).

One way or another, this Christmas I am going to play Deus Ex.

If it's not the second coming of video games, you're going to have a lot of explaining to do, and I am going to start calling you out on this every time you do the whole "makes any game from the past ten years look like shit" thing.

Fully immerse yourself in it, it's fuckign amazing! Also JC is kind of the second coming of whatever holy diety you believe in....

 

It's a good game. The story and the way it changes is amazing. But stealth gameplay circa 2000? That part just isn't that good and unfortunately stealth is pretty central to the game. I played System Shock 2 for the first time this year, loved it, its aged beautifully. Got 30 hours into Deus Ex after completing SS2 and couldn't bring myself to finish. Hopefully Khuutra enjoys it more than I did.

I always go to Thief 1 or 2 when I feel the itch to play a stealth game. The 2nd one in particular since that's the one I have on hand. Also to be fair you really don't have to do stealth in DE. I got the speed mod and just ran around with the Dragon tooth Sword whacking things to death, even those big bots.
