Does anyone still play Deus Ex?

I don't know if any of you are familiar with the game Deus Ex but it's a classic RPG/FPS game made back in 2000 featuring the nano-augmented agent JC Denton. I bought the game many years back and still play on multi-player now. For those of you who haven't played Deus Ex before I would highly recommend getting it, you can get it for near enough nothing now, as it truly is an amazing game despite the fact that's it's 7 years old. Yes, the graphics are dated as it uses the first Unreal engine but graphics aren't as important as brilliant gameplay which this game has in abundance. Anyway I was just wondering if there are any fellow Deus Ex multi-players on these forums as well

 

it had a multi player? Lol. back then i think even 56k modems were rare

 

Yes it has a thriving multi-player community, there was a patch which added multi-player capability and a Game Of The Year Edition - it won a BAFTA.

 

I have the game. I never played multiplayer but definitely it's a great game.

 

It is a legendary game along with the likes of Half-Life and Halo. I've completed both the PC version and PS2 versions. Wow man, you should get on multi-player there are quite a few American players online.

 

By the way Exodemia, did you played the 2nd game?? I never bought it but I heard it was not so good, is that true?

Thanks.

 

Yes I did but not properly. I'm going to buy it again and play it. I don't think it could beat the 1st one but like many things, mainly movies, the first - the original is usually the best.

 

DEus ex was extremely fun, and had a fantastic storyline. The whole game was just fun, the augmentations, weapon mods, RPG elements, stealth. It was great! The second was still fun, but my PC couldn't handle it, infact NO ONE's PC could, not even the most high end pc of it's time, infact alot of PCs even now can't play it smoothly... THAT was why it failed...


Oh btw, THEY ARE MAKING A THIRD!! It's been in development for a few years now, supposed to come out around 2008.

 

No... no they aren't.

 

according to IGN it was announced back in may. read this http://pc.ign.com/articles/789/789321p1.html

 

YEs, YES THEY ARE, don't tell me I'm wrong when the people MAKING THE GAME already announced a third.

 

That was an awesome game. The storyline and the play was what really got me into it. If I remember correctly I played that game almost non-stop for a week and nearly lost my girlfriend. The plot was very riveting and very well done. I've started the sequel, but somehow was never able to really get into it - probably because I was so into the original storyline.


Spoiler













BTW _ What ending did you guys choose? I saved my game right before I finished so I could see the results of each of my actions - But the ending I liked best was to become part of the machine.

 

The Deus Ex music still sends chills down my spine. It definitely had a smart storyline. Multiplayer was a little difficult because it was hard to switch between augs when needed.

 

I definitely had no idea that there was a multiplayer portion to it. I still play single player from time to time though Great game.

 

Ooo, didn't know a third game had been announced. Any news on whether it'll suck like the second game?

 

I remember playing Deus Ex: Invisible Wars for the original Xbox...wow that game was awesome. I couldn't stop playing it...xD

 

uhh yes they are.. im backing up unknown here.. you better do the research before you state a claim..

 

I have high hopes despite the fact that Warren Spectre, the creator of for series isn't going to be involved with the making of the game. I'll have my fingers crossed. BTW, I thought the second game was ok, I didn't mind the changes to the inventory/stats/skills system. I loved the locations they used, especially Egypt.

 

all i remember while playing dues ex 2 is getting stuck in some part and i spend 2 hours trying to get past the area, but i couldn't find a way past it.. so i gave up..

 

I absolutely loved the first game, but I never played the multiplayer. I'll have to see if I still have a copy to check it out.

Deus Ex 2 was ok, but thought it was a little too easy.

 

Both are available on steam btw just incase you might want to buy it..

 

The music in Deus Ex is awesome! Love it hehe if you come on multi-player I'll kick your asses on it

 

I still have my copy somewhere around my computer desk... I installed it around 2 years ago on my "new" rig (back then) to see how it looked with all max settings, and played it a bit.

Didn't even know there was a multiplayer patch, though . But alas, its glory days are over, even with multiplayer, I don't think I'll be playing it again any time soon.

 

That's a shame Triple. The multi-player is worth a play, at least once

 

One of the best pc games ever ,first mix between rpg and fps but i played only with single player... Hitman will be a movie and Deus EX no??? Mah?

 

Deus Ex should be turned into movie as long as it's got a big budget and good director and producer who will keep the film as faithful to the game as possible.

 

Here are the two unbelievable and legendary main titles from Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Invisible War:

tried it on my friends laptop about a month ago, hadn't heard of it until then. it was an OK game i guess

 

Hmm how far did you get?

 

Its one of my favorite games of all time.
I only wish the second had stood up to it.

 

The second is alright, quite good.

 

i played a few levels from where my friend had his saved. i believe there was a robot android thing that fires a mini gun or something.

 

Lol that's an interesting way of calling it. They are called Commandos, it was probably Paris you were on.

 

My favourite PC game I think. Very close between this and C&C Red Alert 2.

Although I've never finished it - I was killed a few times by the commandos in the maze by the mansion in Paris and have never sat down to finish it. Played the beginning of the game soo many times though haha.

The second was ok... I had it on the xbox. The slowdown on that was immense and even my mates pc couldn't handle that engine. Unfortunately, the game was a bit too restrictive and linear in comparison to the first and they had dumbed it down way too much.

Lets hope they can pull the series back on track with the next game.

 

You need to finish it Phil!! The second will easily run on my new laptop

 

Well, maybe after I finish Monkey Island 1 & 2, Crysis and get tired of Battlefield 2142 and UT3. Maybe

I don't really have much gaming time to be honest. At least with Monkey Island I can catch up with people on msn at the same time...

 

Lol good old Monkey Island, another classic. Would you recommend BF2142? Cos I could buy it now.

 

I do recommend BF2142 but you need to play it online as the bots on single player plus the restricted levels means its pretty much useless. It could get boring but it is good if you get into it!

 

Ok then, well I shall consider it

 

Wow Deus Ex... best game ever made imho. i got it when it first came out when i was like 12 lol. it was the first pc game i ever played and i still consider it the best. i used to play through it like several times a year. i got really really into the multiplayer early in high school, i only played on the no-augs servers. i havent played the game in a couple years though, kind of makes me sad. =(

 

0 augs are best
