Sextus70 I assume that you randomly found "Deus Ex" by accident like I did?

[@Sextus70]

Tony Chang Actually I got into the series randomly picking and playing Human Revolution first (which is also one of the best games I've ever played). Then, when I learned at its ending that it was a prequel of the original Deus Ex (which I didn't know until that moment) I decided to go after it. Needless to say, it ended being also an awesome gaming experience for me despite its age (and some flaws, such as the overall crappy voice acting).

[@tonyc.0451]

Sextus70 I first started playing in 2002, two years after the original was released. Little did I know that the game would change my life forever. I have yet to play "Human Revolution," but the story and the characters were superb. If you want a good laugh, try Googling "Optimus Prime Dragon Tooth Sword." There should be an image of Optimus Prime himself holding what looks like a light blue sword.

​@@SorrelhasCyberpunk's future is arguably much more dystopian and horrible than Deus Ex. The world is on the brink of climate collapse and ecological breakdown, corporations have complete control over your bodies, minds and every other aspect of your life, world governments have completely collapsed and in their place, there are giant megacorporations who constantly go to war with each other etc. In Deus Ex, the US government is still around but in Cyberpunk, the USA basically collapsed.

Hold on:In games that have multiple endings, the player's actions change the game story significantly. In this scenario different end videos are required for different possible end situations.

Meanwhile, the talk about Gary Savage, X-51, and Vandenberg Air Force Base is obvious enough, but dialogue at 1:22 hints that, apparently, the scientists had an effective Artificial Intelligence on their sleeve; the Deus Ex Bible hints that this may be the cut Moon A.I. Ada, who may have been sold to the highest bidder to and for McMoran Global Steel, a notably strong competitor against Page Industries and co-participant for the Zhou Enlai Lunar Base in certain texts in the game. 1:35: The primary unit is Paul Denton, while the secondary is JC Denton. 1:58: This, with hindsight from the DX Bible, shouldn't actually be JC Denton. Rather, the protoform in the tank may actually be Alex Denton in the Area 51 endgame and, as some of us know with less fanfare, the sequel Invisible War. 2:13: On a sidenote, the Liberty Island mission introduction text should have had "Six Months Later" stamped on it, so to show that it, and by extension the tutorial mission, occur way after the iconic cryptic conversation, not immediately.

[@schuschnix5261]

one of the best game intros ever imo

[@MrShawno1231]

***** In what way? It practically solidifies that Bob Page and Unatco are the antagonists before the game even starts, that when when Majestic 12 appear it is completely unsurprising to who runs it. This is given away at the end of the tutorial when Bob praises Denton after completion. In addition to this, Bob Page is about as 2-dimensional as any character could be and his opening monologue immediately writes him off as a stereotypical, power-hungry tyrant who wants to rule the world. If it were not for this very cut-scene, the twists of them being the people you are supposed to be fighting against would have been far better realised, much more motivating and suspenseful. In saying that though, considering the fact that every-one has the personality of a binary code and voices of a teleprompter capable of making even Microsoft Sam cry, it makes it almost impossible to care about your actions as you would in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. In Human Revolution the voice acting was at least decent and characters and sub-characters had a little bit of back-story to them so they appeared more relevant to the game's central plot. I can not say neither of those things in light of Deus Ex as none of these elements have the same amount of care or focus.

***** Honestly I havent looked at it that way, maybe its more nostalgia,I was in my Teens when first playing deus ex and I didnt make the connections fast enough, you bring up some fair points.However, what I meant mostly was that it is kinda dark and not some shitty shooting or omfg they killed this guy or some dream or whatever,basically I could imagine this kind of talk happening somewhere in real(more or less,other topic than augs obv.), also I wouldnt say that out of this talk you immedatiely would know that unacto is corrupted,rather infiltrated("I have someone in place") imho at least.Regarding characters etc. I disagree,I liked them in deus ex alot more and imo they had more depth and it touched alot more topics than just augs, not saying HR was bad tho either. Baseline:this intro touched and still touches me alot more than the one from HR does when they augment adam, but maybe I am influenced because I totally believe in shadow banks and governments and stuff.

[@MrShawno1231]

***** Well Unatco are nothing but pawns, just like FEMA. Majestic 12 are the real enemy. I personally am not noticing any depth, it's pretty much people just blaming the government constantly. Where as Deus Ex: Human Revolution put forth the idea that the corporations had more power than the government. In addition to this, both had really vague A.I dialogue and I feel that Metal Gear Solid 2 is a better example of an A.I. People talk about the stuff that Deus Ex predicted, but that pales in comparison to what MGS2 had to say about our future. The whole thing about creating context through misrepresented information and how only certain individuals are made for success was creepy. In addition to this, the game also saw Tablets and social networking sites coming from a mile away. Kojima not only tricked everyone who played MGS2, he used it to provide an insight to how we as hard working people become too dependent on the information we only like to hear and ignore others because of popular opinion on said information. Deus Ex is far less relevant today as opposed to Metal Gear Solid 2. Listening to those codex made my jaw literally dropped. In addition to this, it is also probably the only game I have seen that challenges the notion that the presidency are nothing but pawns as well.

***** cant say much,I havent played and MGS game but given what you wrote I will,ty

The saddest part about this game and our current present are that there are still legit sheep in our population that applaud government and corporations eroding our liberties

It's not a prophetic game, it's predictive programming.

ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER!! And Damn, Tom Hill (I think this ION Storm guy's name was) did such an awesome voicework on Walton Simons, one of my favourite villains of all times. 5/5* & faved. And thanks for makin' me all nostalgic an' stuff =)

[@ceoaicryptoart5021]

Yeah because those who run the world wanted to be pleased by a game showing them the future

[@bakinglife420]

I cannot stop rewatching this and/or playing the Deus Ex soundtrack. Probably gonna have to go back and replay it again soon. Deus ex is like crack.

Happy Birthday Deus Ex

Has that actually happened? If so, they deserve the Prod.

[@tohopes]

Tony Chang Yeah man they're all over these comments like the US Marshal and his three daughters.

[@tonyc.0451]

tohopes I have yet to actually read those comments. If you want a good laugh, try Googling *"Optimus Prime Dragon Tooth Sword."* You'll find a photo of Optimus Prime holding what looks like a light blue cleaver. Sounds familiar?

[@tonyc.0451]

tohopes Unless Optimus can help them manufacture the sword so that everyone gets one. I dare you to charge him 25 credits if he visits the Lucky Money.

[@tohopes]

Tony Chang Optimus Prime is an upstanding sort of truck. I'm sure he would pay the 25 credits.

[@barone8889]

The real reason a game as epic as Deus Ex never gor remastered with new graphics....the creators of the game could see the future.
