There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who think

I tried playing the original several times but I always get bored of it halfway through the first or second level.
Is it supposed to get better?

>>389802121
yes

>>389801798
I liked both desu

original Deus Ex had a much better story that was a lot more relevant to real life. It combined several plausible conspiracy theories and let you play as a dude caught up in the middle of them. The whole point about nano augs existing isn't really the focus, but does play a role in the plot.

In HR, the game is all about the augs and their impact on humanity, and the moral questions surrounding cyber implants in humans. Which is cool, but the game has no relation to real life.

Not enough variables, anon. I thought Human Revolution was shit and I haven't even played the original.

This.

Liberty Island really is a drag, I can't explain it.

deus ex is such a meme
the first one was funny but had shit gameplay, then HR is just boring and slow

The original was more reflective where as HR is more speculative, is a good way to put it I think.

I have been wanting to get the original deus ex
Is there any mods or fixes I should play it with
I'll probably get it, Blood and UT2004 when there's a big steam sale

I played it some. Kinda felt like if later MGS was actually good and better made.

But it had that same issue of me wanting to go around and have fun with gadget and the game really wanting me to follow its path, which made me very bored. Had the same issue with HL.

I don't mind linear games or plot heavy talky ones, but I don't like getting surprised into one. Felt like I pulled off the Scooby Doo mask to find Xenosaga.

Only "mod" I can think of is Deus Exe, which allows for modern OpenGL rendering. Otherwise, don't bother with any mods on your first playthrough, even the HDTP/visual enhancers. After that, there's Shifter/Biomod for "Deus Ex but with more gameplay options", then Nihilum/Nameless Mod for "Deus Ex mechanics in a new story".

I was a fan of Deus Ex since 2000 and I loved Human Revolution, especially after the utter shit show that was Invisible War.

>>389801798
You have a really overly simplistic worldview. In reality there is a huge variety of kinds of people in the world, not just two.

I think it takes a cultured person to really enjoy and appreciate older games, if they weren't near old enough to play them when they first came out. especially ones that were critically acclaimed.

This can be said about a lot of media.

Human Revolution is excellent and better than most games, but we're comparing it to a practically perfect video game here.

Give it 20 years and it'll be a lot more relevant.

HR's real problem is that it had nothing to say about anything other than augmentation.

and I played both, including MD, had fun with all of them

Deus Ex was lightening in a jar, a greatness that will never be captured again. That being said I agree, Human Revolution was still excellent, so was Mankind Divided while it lasted.
