GMDX 9.0 tomorrow lads

I tried to play through the first level but it was dark and the game play felt like shit. Should I get gmdx or should I try to suffer playing it vanilla

>>382402339
There's a reason why you're struggling, you probably havent leveled up your guns all the way. You need to keep the reticle on the enemy until it slowly shrinks for it to be more accurate too.

Deus Ex is effectively broken up into four chapters:

1. NYC crime noir, until JC betrays UNATCO
2. Hong Kong corporate espionage, until JC gets his killswitch removed
3. Paris underground, until JC reestablishes contact with the Illuminati
4. LA ruins future cowboy apocalypse, until JC deals with Helios

(cut: chapter 5 which would have taken place in DC where JC deals with Mead)

I only mention this because I've been seriously thinking of what it would actually take to make a proper DX sequel, and this is what I keep coming back to.

>>382402339
Always vanilla for your first run. Change to a D3D10 render like Kentie's Launcher. Once you get the Dragon's Tooth Sword, it becomes a lot more fun.

Well, Mead himself is described as an authoritarian bully hated by both sides aka Donald Trump. So, a modern DX game (especially one based around killing Mead or whatever) would be less a future cyberpunk game and more a satire on modern politics.

But hey, JC fucking around in Trump Tower, Trump National Golf Club, Trump International Casino, and the White House itself would be a fun mappack if people still made those.

Better to look good than to have the distractions of another thread who needs backup.

I really want to play it but it's so dark that I can't see anything. When I bought it I ran around in total darkness for a good ten minutes before falling off what I believe was a pier into water. At least, that's what I think happened. Are there any mods that just improve the brightness, or any console commands that could do it? As it is it's unplayable.

Bullshit, it fucks over your inventory, removes upgrades from guns, that kind of stuff.
I actually quit playing it because of that shit.

>>382409889
Pretty much, but it's the biggest and best looking one they've ever made. I have mixed feelings about this, there was something incredible about moving on to the next city in deus ex, but a game with that much sprawling content with the tight gameplay design required by the genre just isn't feasible with modern levels of graphical fidelity.
PS turn MSAA off, it doesn't run well on any card.

>>382403031
So I actually made it through the first level and its actually really great. I see that dishonored stole a lot of mechanics from this game. The conspiracy stuff is sweet too.

>>382410383
bullshit dude https://howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=25434

no one fucking speedruns deus ex games on their first playthrough, you're doing it wrong.

>>382410742
I have absolutely no idea what in the fuck there is to do in that game for more than 15 hours.

>>382410963
explore, soak in the atmosphere, read all the hacked messages, slowly stealth your way through without the cheap invisibility mod. you were saying it's faster to play through than the fastest recorded time, and completionists averaged 44h, with 30h being the average playthrough so clearly there is something to do.

>>382411226
why tho
the game isn't even finished, it has no conclusion and now it never will

>>382411434
that's true, thanks square enix for fucking up deus ex and canceling the series. I still like MD though, eidos tried to do the best they could even with square fucking them in the ass.

>authoritarian

He's the least authoritarian we've had in a long time.

Unless you're an illegal.

>>382415746
i think the dislike for invisible war is firmly justified, the game suffered massively from tiny levels and therefore constant loading screens, and casualized almost everything from ammo to augs, it might not be a completely terrible game by itself but compared to the original it's a joke

>>382416118
But why tho

>>382417487
New depth to an old classic?

>>382417487

Because every single instance of this story has to have the protagonist flip sides and join the rebels/terrorists to fight the real bad guys, moral ambiguity or no.
We've been over this--A puppet? Don't care.
Sometimes you just want to watch the world burn. It was planned to happen originally too; Known locales unique to the path would have included Texas, the Mexico border, The White House, US Capitol, a Majestic 12 space station (repurposed for the Area 51 bunker), a moon base with rogue AI, and an assault on Vandenberg.

In one of his presentations or like a retrospective on Dx Warren mentioned liberating a FEMA camp too but there's no telling where that would have gone or if they even got it off paper at any stage unlike most of the above.

>>382410229
it doesnt suck, its just a marginal improvement on HR and is clearly holding back on the story so they can make sequels.

>>382402529
making a Deus Ex sequel is hard because if you set it in the future after DX it becomes cheesy hard sci-fi (like invisible war) or if you set it before DX it basically takes place in the present (the Edios Montreal games basically shit on the story)

They don't though. The prequels seeming futuristic can simply be explained away by graphic limitations of the original.

The game of this decade if it weren't for Bloodborne.

>>382419045
It can't really, Deus Ex's levels are straight up designed to look more similar to the year 2000 even with the limited graphics. It's clearly not intended to be as futuristic as HR looked.

Am I the only one that prefers maps with less clutter? Serious Sam, Half Life, and Thief and others always seemed better when there was less objects on the world but all of them were interactable.
In new games there's always tons of cars, lamps, pipes, rubble, literal trash lying around, every furnished room with tons of things that you can't do anything in. I'd take more open level design over good realistic graphics any day of the week.

>>382405451
I played roughly 4 hours and then I formated my drive and didn't bother reinstalling. I've bought a new GPU just for this game. The exploration and mechanics and gameplay in general is great if you liked HR. The story is dogshit though. Settings is nice, Prague looks like Prague, but as a Czech myself I found the dubbing of the natives insulting, just like the writings on walls. MGS4 still has the best Prague level.

>>382421936
With modern graphics, taking clutter out would make the entire environment look ludicrously artificial.

One has an effect on the other. Why do you think so many games have so many corridors? Not everyone working at a large company is a lazy piece of shit. You need poorfags with toasters to play your games. But you also need sheep that only follow you for the latest graphical trends.
Such is business.
If it were any other way we would get games with Deus Ex's level design that look like 2010 games today OR games that are lierally a single corridor all the way through but look like games will look in 2025.

>>382422825
Please stop talking abut game development, you're embarassing yourself. Corridors do improve performance because of frustrum culling etc but it's hardly an issue outside of consoles with hardly any memory.

>>382422347
I dunno what you mean bud, the game doesn't actually punish you for picking Typhon powers, it just makes you THINK you will; unless, you never actually watched the end scene.

>shit enemy variety

Mimic
Greater Mimic
Phantom
Flame Phantom
Electric Phantom
Entropy (or something) Phantom
Weaver
Technopath
Telepath
Crystoids
Corrupted Operator
Military Operator
Nightmare

What more did you want?

Saying the weapons are garbo isn't saying much since there's actually only 2 real guns plus a ray gun, so 3 total. Your other weapons are a suped-up fire extinguisher, a wrench, Psi powers (there are many), and a variety of grenades.

>>382422927
open / closed level design is still a big engine architecture issue in game development, with some engines handling one well and not the other

GMDX 9.0 when? It's already afternoon in Europe, get your shit together

>>382423317
And then you have DX games, whose engines seem to be cobbled together out of paper mache and duct tape by people who sure as hell know how to design a game but don't know a damn clue how to program one.

>>382405867
If you have f.lux or similiar installed, you have to shut that down before starting deus ex (quit program, not just disable).

>you'll never stay loyal to UNATCO and root out the terrorist scum

>>382423446
the first DX did alright considering all the stuff they had to slap onto the unreal engine to get it done in time

>>382423083
Phantoms are all practically the same enemy, as are operators.

I'd categorize it something like:
>Mimics
>Phantoms
>Operators
>Technopath/telepaths
>Weaver (crystoids)
>Nightmare
Oh and
>turrets

That's not a lot to go by, and sure, I know afterwards that it doesn't really do jack shit to you if you take powers, but it's kind of too late now, the whole 'debate' about getting them is really unnecessary.

I can't comment on the psi powers, as I never used any, but the grenade variety was
>Use EMP on robuts, blue matter on mages, matter grenade to clear obstacles.
Pistol is a fucking plinker and shotgun is alright, but only using it feels dull as hell, same with the wrench.

What the FUCK were they thinking with that psi thing anyway?

>"Haha if you take psi powers you'll have consequences, like turrets shooting at you!! "
>Turrets shooting at you is the ONLY consequence, too bad pretty much the only turrets that exist are the ones you put up.
>"Big scary nightmare will hunt you if you take powers!!"
>He'll hunt you regardless so it doesn't matter

What the fuck!?!?

>>382401270
Can't wait for the sequel to Mankind Divided.

I want to know how Adam dies.

>>382423598
The elemental phantoms are not really the same though, you can't tank them up close with a shotgun because of the proximity damage effects they produce; unlike regular phantoms, they're meant to be taken out at range.

Greater mimics have higher tier mimic powers (which you'd know about if you used them), allowing them to transform into larger objects you'd never suspect of being mimics.

The operators are close/long range, one with a flamethrower and one with a Q-beam. You could claim they're the same but they don't function the same.

I mean even condensed into that list I'm not sure what more you want; as it is the existing enmeies and the specific counters each enemy requires combined with the lethality more than varries the combat encounters. I mean this is a game where shit starts getting tricky the minute you have even 3 enemies of different types in the same room.

The Psi powers, well, you know them from the enemies; you can use all the powers the Typhon can.

OPINION: Deus Ex Invisible War was very good, the only reason people hated it was because it didn't live up to the ridiculously high standards and expectations Deus Ex 1 set.

>>382423836
It's part of the story, though in the end there's no way for it to really matter and still give the player a choice at the end (so, it doesn't).

I mean maybe they could have used some kind of tally or point system based on what you did? I dunno.

>>382424320
Invisible War is worse than DX but not THAT much worse; if anything, the overreaction by fans is a result of them never admitting that DX is actually more like an 8/10 than a 10/10.

>>382424429
I agree with the first part, but I still think DX is a 10/10

Invisible War was the 8/10

>>382424167
It literally does not matter, anon, the enemy variety is meaningless as the way to deal with them is the same for every type.

The elemental phantoms die to shotgun the same as any enemy, and this is on the hardest difficulty.

>Shotgun phantoms/technopaths/telepaths
>Stun gun humans/Operators
>Whack mimics with wrench

Repeat ad fucking nauseum.

You can heal from the menu as soon as you're a little bit damaged, the medpacks are given like candy and food with the perk is way too good.

Mimics are also made super duper irrelevant by that enhancement that lets you spot them, what a retarded thing to give to the player.

>>382424347

FACT: universal ammo and horrendous loading times and map sizes

>>382424320
It was good except for two major things:
Tiny levels with loading screens in between, thanks to consoles.
UNIVERSAL AMMO

>>382424619
>>382424661
yup, those were the issues that made it worse than DX1. Still a great game though

>>382424513
Except I don't do that.

It's like going through DX with nothing but the Pistol, the GEP gun and the DTS. I mean yeah, you can, and yeah, you'll kill everythign in your path, but it's boring.

Yeah, I getcha, I getcha completely.

What I'm not advocating here is some kind of retarded, self-imposed limitation.

What I'm describing is the optimal playstyle I found while doing what the game told me to do aka don't take psi or ((??)).

What else should I do? Whack everything with a wrench? Pistol operators? Stun gun technopaths? Throw sofas at the nightmare?

>>382401270
It isn't the most polished game, but it is so hard to find a fps that lets you get as lost as this one.
The first time playthrough is such a jumble of fun, guilt, claustrophobia, and great atmosphere.
I wish so much that someone would remake this game and change nothing except the graphics and hitbounds. Maybe get a better voice actor.
Stuff like bioshock, and half life, and red faction just dont compare to open levels found in dues ex.
Close runner up would be the first/second system shock but anyone who played deus ex knows those as well.

>>382424980
If you don't use Typhon powers then yes, you basically just snipe shit with the pistol or tank it with the shotgun unless it's a bot, which you take out with the stun gun. Being limited in abilities by being purely human is....well, limiting.

"The game" doesn't tell you not to take Typhon powers. January (ie one version of your former self) tells you not to take them. Alex does the exact opposite. And honestly, January's concern is an oversight in the writing: if you're gonna blow the whole place up anyway, it doesn't actually matter if you're half Typhon or not.

>>382416408
Load screens are somewhat more manageable on modern systems, but they're still annoying, yeah.

The aug system in IW is arguably better, forcing you to make even harder choices than in the original. Far better than the one from HR wherein you inevitably unlock everything of even passing utility. The lack of skill a proper skill system was stupid, though.

Of course I did, lets use that as an example.

>Paul tells you to leave him, he's obviously hurt and cares for his bro, staying around shows that enemies do show up so there's evidently more to this that just leaving.

Immediate and noticeable cause and effect for whichever choice.

>Bro tells you to get psi powers, he's been portrayed as an unreliable character so far and your buddy operator tells you not to do it, even giving a specific example why you shouldn't. Using common sense you can also decipher that maybe injecting yourself with alien shit isn't the best course of action.

You'll only know the true extent of the choice in the fucking ending credits, where it's a god damn LINE OF DIALOGUE.

>>382419401
And? This doesn't change the fact that HR is a pretty clear aesthetic departure unrelated to the limitations of computer graphics circa the year 2000.

Like fuck man

Hacking OR Cloak, not both

Regeneration OR X Ray Vision, not both

Jesus Christ they're tearing my soul out, withholding all these abilities for separate playthroughs.

>>382425505
that was from last month when it was delayed until today

>>382425406
You can flip the entire argument of enemies in DX as "giving you example why you shouldn't save him," and using common sense of seeing 3 entire skill trees of typhon powers, meaning you can fill at least half of them up.

>>382425406
But if you're gonna blow the station up, January's concerns don't mean anything do they? It doesn't matter if you're half Typhon if you're gonna be blown to smithereens.

That would work if the enemies were invulnerable at that stage, conventional enemy resistance isn't really an argument against not doing anything, might as well give up the badge at the statue of liberty because you'll have to fight baddies if you continue.

>>382425627
That's true, but you can really only say that afterwards with the knowledge you have, the choice is quite early on and at that stage of the game you don't know:
>What your bro wants
>If January is really serious
>If there is a third option available ((There are actually two more, which both are to escape, and in which case taking Typhon would've been a really bad idea))

That aug was a great. I didn't like having to give up the defence drone for it though.

>>382426007
Yeah, you could.

Honestly, I wouldn't compare the two too much, Paul choice is more like a ''hidden feature'' type of deal, if you deal with strong enemies you'll get a reward.

Whilst the Typhon choice is presented more like that big daddy/little sister thing in Bioshock, even though it's nowhere near as important.

>>382426110
There's a lot of enemies and if you don't know where you're going you can easily get into a firefight, which at that stage in the game you can't win easily because you can't hit the broadside of a barn and have no ammo. Plus there's a bot, which, if you didn't take the GEP gun (Paul conveniently only mentions there's a bot IF AND ONLY IF you take the GEP gun, not before), is a bitch to deal with since you need to find the EMP grenade and pray to god you throw it correctly.

>>382432624
well, the thing here is, Prey isn't popular.
It's fucking bad. It's a pretty interesting game at the start but none of the weapons feel good to use or are interesting aside from the gloo gun, the combat is a complete shitfest with bullet sponge enemies, enemy variety is 0, and the quests are all fetch quests shit. The game doesn't even have an amazing soundtrack or atmosphere to provide good immersion to compensate. Or a good villain. Or good characters.

89% steam user rating ever since it released, which means it's popular and good and your opinion in minority among normies. You do fit in with /v/ hive mind though

>>382402529
I think its hard to make a sequel because the demands changed. Even with "good" reboots you see the issue. Maps get loaded in a tiny bit at the time. In HL2 you had limited sprinting while in HL1 you were a speed god. In DOOM you could run through the map and pick up all the keys while avoiding fire without having to shoot back, in DOOM4 you get locked into killrooms constantly. In DXHR the maps are also tiny. In open world games you can actually run into load screens if you go too fast.
For DX to work well you need big light maps. That means, shitty graphics. If you release a new DX with 2007 graphics everyone will just complain about HURR DURR MUH GRAPHIX. Even if it means you can have a hugeass map where you can run from one side to the other.

>>382418518
Also a sequel doesnt have to be hard scifi. If the new dark age happens you go back in technology. What would be harder is to get a new plot. Everyone already knows the illuminati is real, the rockerfellers are part of it and the virus is engineered. Even if you itnroduce new conspiracy stuff the player already knows to take it seriously.

It's fun and contrary to what lots of people say it's pretty long if you're the exploring type but it does still feel like two thirds of a game because it ends fairly abruptly and it mostly lacks the globetrotting of the original game and even HR. Improves on some of the nu-mechanics and especially the augs. Definitely worth it if you like DX at all.

No. You have to lose to Gunther in order to progress in the story. I think it was originally planned that you could defeat Gunther in the battery park but it was cut for whatever reason.

also all of pritchard's dumb bullshit. not much to laugh at in the original, maybe the emails scattered around to and from gunther before they start describing that he's fucking depressed and crying. deus ex 1 didn't have much room for comedy between conspiracy and story.

I thought you could the first time I played through. Lured him into a stack of mines and dove down a ventilation shaft. I must have glitched Gunther through the floor, because he wasn't there anymore when I came back up. Didn't have any heavy weapons left and was killed trying to take out the bots.

I dislike how upgrades and new skills were one thing. Then they also jacked you up with a load of them. I liked the DX system a lot more, even though it had a lot of useless crap. Also a lot of choices didnt really bother me. Hacking is insanely handy, saves a lot of password hunting, regen is king, speed is powerful and allows you to go through other paths due your high jump distance. Other abilities were powerful but had no chance against the mustpicks

>>382405451
It's HR 2.
It looks nice, the world had a lot of stuff in it, the sidequests are nice, the main quest is bad, the augmentation focus really kneecapped it, the level design is good, the gameplay is functional but not very fun, and it's not actually as short as people make it out to be.

Factually wrong, you can respec your agus in iw with additional canisters, you can't in dx.

This assumes you're always playing the same way. The biomod system is such that if you're playing a hacker you aren't going to have the best stealth available. If you want the strength enhancement to be the melee king, you can't override bot control, etc. It encourages replaying with different builds in mind.

>>382436996
you can stop shitposting now, it's over

>>382424961
play the tutorial even though its boring. How guns work is very important.
max out some weapon skills of your choice so that weapon type has good accuracy without having to train your sights. Beware you need to push through a few levels before the fun starts. I thought it was boring till the ship level.

>>382437181
Sure, if you want to waste limited resources starting over from scratch, you could do that. It isn't what the system actually encourages, though. The original Deus Ex allows you install double the amount of augmentations which generally results in less specialization.

The normal abilities felt like a fighting/stealth approach split
>regen or see through walls
>hazard drone or invis
>aggressive drone or invis
>strength or toxic drone
>speed or silence

That said, yes its fun to replay the game and use the other skills, but they still didnt feel balanced. Most biomods I felt like I had a choice between the super useful ability or the niche ability. And I picked the niche ability in the replay.

>>382421659
I remember laughing at some IW jokes but i forgot what it was, probably something from that Polish classmate rival of yours

>>382436996
Grim Dawn has also been out for years.

Prey is fun, /v/ just hates everything they either didn't play when they were a kid or is actually good. It's like System Shock but modern, ie doesn't look like ass and doesn't have obtuse level design and "oh, you didn't level up that skill? Well you can't complete the game now fuk u" bullshit, which is all I ever really wanted.

If that means I only have a shotgun and a pistol, well, fuck it.

How did anna know her own killphrase?

A choice between cloak and hacking doesn't seem particularly niche. The hazard aug in the same category, sure. But that was also true of hazard training in the original.

Regen, enhanced vision, and spy drone is unbalanced in the same way regen was unbalanced in the original. But that doesn't mean the others don't have pretty strong value. The later of which is great for dealing with electronics and organics alike when fully upgraded.

Then you have a choice between aggressive defense, bot stealth, and electrostatic discharge. All of these are very useful depending on your style of play. You're either doubling down on your combat/stealth abilities or taking something that lets you bypass lasers and deal a bit more damage to bots.

Strength, stun drone, or bot domination. All seem pretty useful. I suppose strength is the most versatile, but if you're primarily using guns it only lets you lift heavier objects. All of them can be useful for any style of play really. The bot domination can be real handy, though, given how fast heavy weapons eat through the universal ammo.

Last you have move silent, speed, and health leech. The first two can both be useful for stealth. The latter two, both for combat. Health leech is mostly a better balanced regen mod.

>>382438664
Reminds me of Prey

>>382437821
>>382438864
I guess my point is that I don't think niche is the word you're looking for. Some augs are better if your only goal is to win. But if you're trying to play a certain kind of character, it doesn't mean the augs supporting that are bad.

By contrast, the original Deus Ex has a lot of redundancy between it's aug and skill system. I still prefer it, but the choices you make simply aren't as hard because you can always make up for, say, poor swimming skill with the aqualung aug, and vice versa.

>>382416408
Worst thing about IW was writing

>>382421659
Pretty much every other piece of world building from the dialogue to the messages and readables contains satire to some degree and is pretty successful at it. Gunther and Anna.

But memes aside the world it depicts is pretty depressing and serious and it projects that atmosphere strongly, which is balanced out by not taking itself too seriously.

>>382439192
Writing's still solid. Leagues better than HR.

>>382402529
The problem with doing a sequel is that you can't make it as big as Deus Ex. Think about everywhere you go in the original. As consumer expectations for graphics have increased, the cost of doing a game as big as Deus Ex has ballooned. It just can't be done anymore on a reasonable budget.

>>382439339
>Leagues better than HR

I love this type of game, but I wish they were more difficult. give me more enemies and fewer resources

>>382439339
I hope this is a joke, because JC was probably the worst offender with his pseudo philosophical blabber and retarded motivation.

Vision is nice but I wouldnt pick it for first time playthrough because jesus christ the healthpacks are just so terrible. And while vision is nice and putting skillpoints in healthkits would make sense in this game THEY FUCKING REMOVED SKILLS.
Strength also gives you more carry capacity. The amount of shit you can carry is terrible, so I always pick it. Its just too restrictive otherwise.

>>382439119
Well maybe niche is the wrong word, but I found it sad the execution dropped the ball. I think I would like the system a lot more if they made a skill system to go with it. Hacking, healing and such then could be loaded off to there allowing you pick without losing out on elementary skills. After DX1 I dont want to lose out on hacking.

Not to mention, their accents are fucking horrific, so it's even worse.

how the fuck do I apply these character model updates for the Visible Upgrade modpack for IW? I ran the tweaker tool and selected the alternate face for Alex but they don't work, the game still uses the low-res original faces instead of the modpack textures

>The Deus Ex is (one of) the best in gaming

Why aren't there more of this type of game?

>>382439459
It's right there in the post you quoted. HR's entire shtick is the augmentation debate tacked onto a revenge story which is utterly boring. IW still has tons of conspiracy theory stuff like the original, distinct political ideologies motivating each faction that are clearly defined and made front and center throughout the game, and still covers tertiary subjects like augmentation and its role in society.

>>382439574
It's the exact same kind of content you get from characters like Morpheus in the original. I don't know what you're playing a Deus Ex game for if you don't want this kind of stuff to be the focus.

But HR has a conspiracy and also deals with stuff like the influence and corruption of media - alongside MD.
Just because the game didn't do what you want does not mean the writing was bad.

>>382439759
It's not as exciting as a straight up shooter, so plebs don't bother, and isn't nearly fantastical enough to draw in the hardcore RPG crowd.

Then, rarely, someone tries (Prey), and the fans of the old games shit all over it and insist their 20 year old game is better, then go back to complaining about how nothing is ever better than 'the greatest game ever', a title they refuse to take away from it no matter how old it gets or what else is released.
