Do I need any mods to play this game and is it still worth playing?

It aged like milk in every respect
GMDX is mandatory

>>382827576
No mods necessary imo, if you're REALLY ingrained with modern shooters you might want to mod out the waiting system for guns

>>382827576
Is there any reason to put points in Swimming?

>>382828297
of course not

>>382828297
Of course.

>>382828297
There are few areas where you have to swim, and you could just use a few rebreathers if you need to.

>>382827885
I'm still waiting for this fucking guy to release 9.0 before I replay it.

>>382828297
You get the secret ending if you put all points in swimming

>>382827885
GMDX blows. Sprint meter? Fuck off.
All you need is Deus Exe, which does not change anything, only resolves compatibility issues.

>>382827576

I'm a faggot raised on a combination of Halo and Morrowind. I played it for the first time in 2010

Its perfectly playable with some patience. Though Its recomended to get at least some compatibility fixes for modern PC's, the kind that are recommended on PCgamingwiki.

GMDX is legitimately great, though it doesn't make the combat feel like something from a new game, just a more polished version of the original, or at least bringing it up to standards of other shooters on its same engine, like Unreal Tournament. Best thing to keep in mind is that if you feel you're limited by your shitty skills, take that opportunity to get creative and try some wild shit out.

It, like Thief 1&2 and MANY older PC games, should be entered with the assumption that you're going to be going into the CONTROLS MENU

AND DELETING JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING and then rebinding shit.

>>382828953
It's actually more like the fatigue meter in Morrowind, also gives you the ability to mantle shit like in Thief.

I'd wait another week for GMDX 9.0 if I were you unless you want to have the vanilla experience first. I like this mod as it's making logical fixes and additions that don't seem like muh ocee while sprucing locations up in a lore friendly manner so they aren't quite so barren.
Only downside is that the creator is infamously bad at keeping release dates, so there's no telling whether he'll keep the next one.

>>382827576
I'm a fag that hates many of the problems that are present in older games and I can say no, the game's pretty solid. The only thing that's weird is the default controls but the game thankfully has an option to rebind them.

>>382827576
Just get the Katie launcher or whatever it's called with the direct10 renderer, that's all you need.

>>382827576
Many mods are out there. Recommend playing through Nameless Mod. Outdated forum jokes but if you're not a newfag you should understand.

>>382830642
What if I'm a newfag?

>>382827576
No. Unless you're me, and you have to install some kind of mod in order to get it to stop fucking lagspiking to a halt every other map.

>>382830776
You're not a newfag, you're cancer. That makes you even worse and more undeserving to play that game.

>>382830937
What if I've already played Deus Ex though?

>>382827576
Just play Human Revolution

Its better in every way

>>382831089
Don't care. Kill yourself before I have to do it for you.

>>382831201
You'll never kill me like I killed it with your mom yesterday.

>>382831336
I'm going to kill you twice as hard just for saying that.

>>382831336
You had erectile dysfunction trying to have sex with my mother?

>>382828953
you can deactivate the stamina meter AFAIK. You can deactivate most new options for a more "purist" experience

>>382831449
Not if I kill you thrice as hard first.

>>382831578
I'LL KILL YOUR FOUR TIMES AS HARD WHILE USING THE ZA WARUDO

>>382828006
what mod is this? my only problem with the game

>>382832497
Fucking pleb

>>382832589
fr*ck off dude, i'm like 12 hours in and it's not an actual "problem" but I don't see the point, I rather not have to wait.

>>382827576
I simply love the vibe and the nostalgia this gave gives. Don't think you need any mod for it.

New Vision for higher resolutions and that's fucking it. The game is fine the way it is and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Just rebind the controls when you start out. You can dive into gameplay mods after your first vanilla playthrough.

What a piece of shit mediocre overated hipster trash game Deus ex always was. This thread pretty much shows the average playerbase.

>>382828006
>Waiting to shoot
>Not a modern trend
???

>>382832768
Invest points in pistols or whatever you are using,
infact if you infest fully in to pistol and attach a scope you become OP

>>382833941
I was thinking of going all in on the silenced pistol, but I don't know now that I got the ability to silence the sniper that seems best

>>382834119
Do you want fast reload and snipe from far? One hit enemies? Than silenced pistol is way to go

>>382834681
So if you max it out it shoots like a regular fps, hits right where you aim without waiting?

>>382834883
Yes

>>382828741
>>382829558
>implying he'll actually release it on the 8th

Watch him delay it once more.

>>382835154
Well shit if I knew that I wouldn't have a problem with the shooting, it makes sense now, and the mod would basically cheat the leveling system. Guess I'll keep it vanilla first play through then go nuts.

>>382829558
GMDX is honestly probably my favorite overhaul to any game ever. Everything felt so seamless and logical. Literally the only gripe I had with it that flashlight drained a ridiculous amount of energy but that's it.

I'll tell ya OP, when i first played this game couple years ago i stopped after the first hour.
Then i came back because my autismo forced me to finish a game i started, and it was probably the best game experience i had in years
The level design and the freedom is still unmatched. The plot is like a b-movie but written by a dude that truly believes in his job, the soundtrack is excellent and all the details are right on spot if you like immersion.
If you clench your teeth a little in a hour you'll go back to a time when games were made with love and passion, and you'll be able to ignore every negative aspect.
Also you'll start shitting on how dumbed down modern games are

>>382835758
Same experience, Liberty Island is honestly the worst opening level of all time in video games. No idea what they were thinking.

>>382834119
sniper is shit.

>>382836015
The level starts off slow but by the time you go down into unatco hq I was entranced.

>>382835758
>The plot is like a b-movie
has to be a troll

>>382837458
if by shit you mean the most op weapon in the game, then yes.

>>382827576
It's perfectly playable vanilla and you have no reason not to at least try it. Just remember that you're not going to be a walking tank the moment you start the game.

>>382837723
why is that a troll?

Has this game aged as well Deus Ex?

>>382838256
Played it for the first time a few years ago, aged perfectly fine.

>>382838256
yes

>>382836015
Liberty Island isn't particularly bad, it's just a really good pleb filter.

>>382827576
I installed the fix and now its dark as fuck and theres no reasonable way to adjust it.
