John Romero didn't "contribute next to nothing" to Quake 1. He did a ton of maps and game design but Id had the nasty habit of deciding people were "bad" and once they decided that you were basically done. Sandy Peterson talks about this on his KZbin channel. The first person this happened too was Tom Hall. After that person after person was driven out of the company. American McGee did great job but one day they basically said we don't like you and booted him no matter what he said. It was like a middle school lunch table there.

In the Versalife mission you can actually leave without triggering the alarm if you use a jump aug or a pile of crates to just exit through the vents, which is my prefered way. Also, in the intro they say "your appointment TO FEMA shouls be finalised within a week" which means that they are discussing Walton Simons actually becoming Head of FEMA and is much more foreshadowing since Bob Page just nonchalantly discusses how he can hand out appointments as head of a federal agency.

Just to throw this out there, Deus Ex Machina while now a more modern trope to "unfuckle" the corner writers put themselves in, is not what it was originally meant to be. In classical Greek plays, usually you would have a twist or point in the story where the Gods meddle or intervene in mortal life (AKA Zeus unable to keep his damned pants on for a picosecond), so in order to make it "seem" like a God entered into the play, they had a machine that would either lower or raise the actor onto the stage. Hence the original more literal translation is "God Machine" because that was the basic purpose of it. In essence, all modern literature or movies or games or what have you uses Deus Ex Machina literally all the time in a more seemingly mundane way. Such as having a person appear out of nowhere, or flying or so on. Just thought I'd toss this in.

Click "Read More" to see Corrections & Mistakes I made in this video. Thank you everyone for the love and feedback with this Review! This is my biggest project since my X5 review in terms of length and time put into it. I started this project back in April in hopes of releasing it in June, but because of complications in my personal life, I wasn't able to meet that deadline. During the course of editing this video, my Mother was diagnosed with, and later passed away due to Stomach Cancer. It's been devastating for Me and the family, but I'm lucky to have a close family and support group to help me through it. I'm not fully over the grieving process, probably won't be for a while, but she was proud of my work and hobbies and wanted me to continue them, which is the reason I've been able to stay productive. Thank you everyone for sticking with me through these difficult times, I didn't want to burden the video with this sad news. Have a great day everyone, and be sure to tell a loved one that you love them. Corrections: - I used a pic of Thief 4 instead of the original. Oops. - Thief was initially from Looking Glass, not Ion Storm until later.

Great review, really enjoyed it! The part with Jock and JC's "a bomb" line is so funny so me. You've got Jock really acting it out, "oh my _god_ JC, a BOMB!" and you get this flat emotionless "a b_o_mb..." like he really doesn't care. I found it funny that the same guy voiced Paul, so any conversation between the two is essentially one guy with very slightly different voices...except Paul has emotion. JC is just a blank slate. You can see why Half-Life went with and stuck with a silent protagonist to be the blank slate.

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

I love JC and Jensen’s voices, the way they do sound so deadpan and blank is just comedy gold to me, but I can see why some games would want to avoid that since comedy voices in a serious game isn’t ideal.

It adds to the game. Deus ex with a silent protagonist would be 10 times worse, at least in my opinion.

Excellent. 3 major things I missed in some initial play throughs: 1) sooper sekrit underground lab in Hell's Kitchen 2) Lab with Grey Aliens under VersaLife. 3) Collapsed tunnel in Hong Kong with a couple of Karks. Hopefully one or more of these will be new to someone out there. None of which mattered. But made a huge difference when I played them. There will never be another DX. All of the other 451 games focus on mechanics and trivial choices about how to solve each challenge. Very, very cool of course, but they're not what made DX great. It was that amazing plot with the twists and surprises and the threads that split early and rejoined later. The game play and options were the icing on that cake. Warren Spector had a design doc 100s of pages long and it shows. Also, despite its length, there was a ton cut. I didn't like Revision. They made gratuitous changes. A hidden sniper who can always see you no matter what and head shots you is like, so, Beavis and Butt Head. "Heh, heh, his head like totally exploded. Heh, heh." You're all probably too young for Beavis and Butt Head. If all they did was to enhance the graphics then it would've been great. But given the amount they ruined, the hi-res textures and models are all that I find useful.

It's a personal favorite of mine and it's _that_ trashy game that you like for no reason and no one else understands why. It also happens to be an immersive sim, but because the game was only made by 1 guy, the scope is naturally reigned in.

[@CountDoucheula]

Captain Alex was legit hilarious, but you can appreciate the effort & passion put into the project.

[@kittenmittenkitten]

Great video so far, but just a note at about 31:00: it's appointment *to* FEMA, he's being appointed to the position of head of the agency!

[@kittenmittenkitten]

Another note, Silhouette aren't a part of the Illuminati, it's just that they are the most effective group fighting MJ12 in France and thus Nicolette managed to convince her mother to fund them with that sweet Illuminati $$$. They would probably be bitter rivals under other circumstances, hence part of why Nicolette joined them: to mess with her mother with whom she clearly has a love/hate relationship. Also fun fact: groups like Silhouette have and still do in fact operate in the Paris catacombs, there's a good 100+ year history of resistance/protest groups being based there, and if you poke around enough ingame you'll notice that the MJ12 troops are actually operating out of a (real) Nazi bunker. There's even a contemporary group who do everything from operating (literal) underground theaters all the way to sneaking into public buildings after hours through the catacombs, google 'les UX'. Historical references like this are just another layer on the massive glorious cake that is Deus Ex.

[@kittenmittenkitten]

Also, Lucius DeBeers might not be a real historical figure, but his name is almost certainly a reference to the real De Beers group, one of those massively wealthy and powerful corporations that are a magnet for conspiracy theories. The most famous of these is actually in fact verifiably true: that they straight up manufactured the modern idea of diamonds being a symbol of marital commitment to, well... sell diamonds. Which they happened to have an almost worldwide monopoly on. You can probably see why they are referenced here in association with the Illuminati.

[@Hello-lf1xs]

Though apparently due to various factors such as the actual supply of diamonds dwindling, they don’t actually have an iron-tight grip on the supply anymore. Not certain ofc

[@LinkyTea]

Spoilers for the Mole People tunnel! One thing I've noticed is that after the NSF guy you talk to to get the nanokey to the men's bathroom, just before that on the path there, there are two guards who mention a name, Paul, and at that moment it all clicked.

[@lionocyborg6030]

46:40 She’s Maggie Chow Mein now. ;) Also, alchemy _is_ science. It’s just an old fashioned term for chemistry, with the some of the goals including stuff the UC can do. Things like lead to gold are indeed real too, but it’s ironically not worth it: you need a particle accelerator and you only get a tiny amount of gold out of it. I don’t remember if it was molecular, atomic or at least large enough to see but certainly not the amounts what myths about alchemy and the philosopher’s stone would have you believe.

[@KirbyLinkACW]

I was thinking the same thing! I first learned about alchemy Fullmetal Alchemist, and after doing my own research, it's pretty dang obvious that alchemy is science. Alsi, the Philosopher's Stone was mostly a metaphor used in the alchemy world (though I wouldn't doubt if some people actually did try to search for it). Like you said, it's mainly mths and fiction that gave it it's almost occult status.

[@lionocyborg6030]

@@KirbyLinkACW I learned about alchemy thanks to Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness, but the fact it’s science is made more clear in the lead writer’s development notes and fixer mods that add missing stuff. For example, the bad guy is able to carry around hyper reactive purified elements in his weird glove to transmute any elements in his murder victims’ bodies to any other in similar places in the periodic table, leaving them nightmarish blobs of flesh and semi molten silver. He does that because he’s a vampire in all but name, needing to eat their thyroids raw and pumping to sustain his youth due to a cursed form of immortality he has and he also desecrates the bodies so to disguise him stealing elements he transmutes from their organs, both for eating and his experiments. He does all this to try and thaw a nephillim/grey alien Queen or warrior out of what can best be described as carbonite stasis.

[@alewis514]

ye turning one element into a different element happens all the time through nuclear reactions. It's just on a very very very very micro scale, producing any measurable quantity of gold (or something actually very expensive like plutonium) would take orders of magnitude more investment than it's worth. We still produce stuff that we don't really need a lot of this way. Heavy actinide elements, like curium or californium that are used as targets to make completely new elements. Californium is an element with atomic number 98 and never occurs naturally, this is purely man-made stuff.

[@SpiderGoblin2012]

I see that Tutorial Guy's name being Jaime Reyes, and I immediately think of Blue Beetle, and that kinda makes me wonder if that was a coincidence or if the writers chose that name as a reference to this game ... It's probably a coincidence, but it's still neat to think about

[@emcmend9960]

I'm a day late but boy am I glad I watched this, being a new fan (Human Revolution & Mankind Divided) I was always very curious about the original game, thanks to this review I really wanna give og Deus Ex a try

[@cicadaknight3048]

This is very, very good. If you didn't post this on the facebook page, i'd probably never even know about your channel.

[@RetroJonesy]

You did an amazing job with this video. Deus ex is one of my all time favourite games too. I wish I could go back and replay it again for the first time

[@craigkuhlman6869]

Laputan Machine. If anyone has gripes about that, sticks and stone.

[@skookathing]

deus ex is a documentary

Uh... wut?

Oh my god jc a bomb I laugh every time

We need a remaster of the original deus ex and invisible war

[@lionocyborg6030]

So far we have Deus Ex Revision entirely for free. We need something similar for Invisible War but adding stuff the original doesn’t have, like a skills system and no universal ammo. Bigger levels too, like something along the lines of Revision crossed with Human Revolution.

[@Duchess_Van_Hoof]

​@@lionocyborg6030 Invisible War is a game that needs to be liberated from its console restraints. Give us lockpicks, a proper inventory, ammo variety and utility items.

[@blackout295]

Some notes: -Hoping the invisible war video isn't just going to an unconstructive bashing of the game into oblivion. I mean I love all the deus ex games and while I see why someone would dislike or hate invisible war, it seems unconstructive to just call it bad and be done without some further exploration of the game. -I'd argue immersive Sims and rpgs are separate genres, the distinguishing feature between the two probably being how character interaction is utilized, given how the RPG elements in an immersive sim are in service of forward progression and almost exclusively environment interaction one way or the other, whereas something like new vegas uses these elements for both environment and character interaction.

Back in November after seeing hbomberguy's video on the third game I decided to buy it off steam. When I got to playing it December I proceeded to beat the game 8 times and this video makes me wanna go back to do a 9th run. Games amazing. Also if anyone is reading this look up "the ultimate run" It's like a culmination of every trick this game has to offer.

[@Duchess_Van_Hoof]

One issue I have with the game is that it has so many augment canisters, a far fewer augment upgrade canisters. I get excited when I see the glowing blue, then disappointed as I can't use them. I have what, ten augmentations? And only enough to upgrade the most essential like ballistic protection and regeneration. Trued out level 2 cloak, but it just empties my bio-energy so quickly.

[@morbionicle]

I need scissors! 61! But yeah, laputan machine. Wish hers was implemented as well.

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

I swear the video title changed today, this used to be called the Deus Ex 20th Anniversary video?

[@ThatTravGuy]

I changed a bunch of my video titles today.

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

@@ThatTravGuy Welp at least I’m not going crazy for once, what was the reason for the change?

[@boomerpatrol2838]

1:00:33 god damn they called those gas prices.

[@o2xygen717]

I love how Grey aliens look in this game. They're so much more animal like than human.

[@Anomaly188]

A worker in Area 51 pretty much says outright they're bio-engineered monkeys.

[@Aspire85]

Really enjoyed this. Was a great vid to relive one of my most fave games

[@Grav3staR]

No wonder I keep dying in Overwatch, the fucking cavalry was in Deus Ex

[@eur0be4t3r]

”Why are you locked in the bathroom?”

[@pAWNproductionsDE]

Sorry for the lack of ad revenue from me. I had to stop watching this video a 1/3rd of the way through because you had inadvertently convinced me to buy the game and I didn't want any more spoilers

[@ThatTravGuy]

Understandable! Getting folks to enjoy this hidden gem is more important to me than ad rev.

[@holderian0]

Deux Ex hell gang, we out here

[@TheSeppentoni]

Cool to see how differently you play the game. I did lots of stuff completely different

[@HazmatHanger]

JC Denton:I know your UNATCO killphrase: Laputan machine. Gunther Hermann:I am not a mach - JC Denton:Sticks and stones.

"Pussycats, 250" Will never stop being a funny in-joke between me and friends.

You beat Charleton Wonder to making a Deus Ed video
