@@dirpyturtle69 yeah but there's a difference between bot liking it and saying it's not fun. Journalists are supposed to be professional. I know video game journalists are often not professional at all, and make article based on their feeling and rarely on a technical analysis of the game, but come on, that's just unecessary at this point.

The most baffling part is that TimeSplitters came out 5 years before, and did the "cinematic FPS campaign" thing about a million times better. Hell, Half-Life did it better. Also, I'm laughing at the guy blaming Trump for games journalism being shitty since the beginning of time. I was 10 years old reading Official Xbox Magazine and Electronic Gaming Monthly and even I could tell then that journos were not all there. It became easy once you played a game for yourself, then read a review later and realized that all of their criticisms made no sense.

I don't remember it all that well, but I think you might actually like this version of Double Agent more if the main one disappointed you, because it had none of the DA mechanics and so was more like classic Splinter Cell. I don't remember hating it, but it's noticeably outsourced and even at the time I was struck by how bizarre it was to have a "last gen version" of a game be made concurrent with the "real" one.

When I first got it I abandoned it on the Mars(?) level, with the bunker, the controls were a bit unintuitive, the gameplay was hard, the story didn't lead me properly and I had no idea how I was suppose to un-hack myself. I haven't touched it for a year or so. But then I returned back to it, to see it with a fresh mind. I've played for 49 hours since then, and I dare to say, it's actually very fun and interesting, IF you dedicate a small time to learn/understand it (which I didn't do in the first run). Story wise, it's complicated... Without resorting to the wiki or forums it's pretty vague. Looks more philosophical if you ask me. But to me, that is actually the best part of the game. It doesn't have the same cliche storytelling, yet remains self-effacing. I just want to see Mandalore's view on this game, since he does have a sense to finding more to and in games then there is, while delivering on an interesting and comprehensible presentation.

Ever see screenshots for a game and think, "I played, enjoyed, and finished that game, but I have absolutely no memory of it." As if your memory is just a series of still images, some sound effects, and maybe at what point of your life you played said game. It's as if some games manage to be so "chicken and rice" that they defy to stick with you in any capacity. Project Snowblind and Enchanted Arms are the ultimate chicken and rice games.

If you have a PS2 I suggest giving Cold Winter as a shot. It did a lot of things you see today, but back then it felt so different. Lost bodies for crafting material, make molotovs bombs, etc. You can flip tables over for cover, if I remember right enemies do too. When I was younger the levels were always "cool" so it might have good level design? Secrets to find, like a unique weapon in every level. Ammo and equipment boxes to open from crafting lockpicks. Love your reviews man.

Great breakdown, Mandalore. I like your to-the-point style. Snowblind makes me sad. To this day, Deus Ex is still what I would call my favorite game of all time, and I even enjoyed the mess that was Invisible War, but to see the series go so far downhill in just a few years really shows you what a shitshow the PC gaming industry was going through in the early 2000's. So many great franchises died dishonorably because of the trend to dumb games down and make them console-centric -- Command & Conquer, Fallout, Baldur's Gate, and countless others.

Game journos were indeed always full of shit. It's just an industry that doesn't have much regulations or standards put in place, simple as that. I mean, try to imagine it from the perspective of the producer for a magazine. How do you tell who is a "good reviewer" or games journalist and who isn't? It's a little bit easier to tell who's a worthwhile journalist nowadays with the advent of the internet, but on the flip side it's also easier for anyone to post their stupid opinion and for it to go viral.

I'm actually surprised that Invisible War was received so poorly. I like it a lot, though not as much as the original. I think that its a shame considering series will always have games that fluctuate in polish and gameplay. I feel that Invisible War was still a great game, just that the first one was better. And there's no shame in that because Deus Ex set a REALLY high bar.

"Consoles didn't kill the Golden Era of video games...." From Deus Ex, to Invisible War and Snowblind. Definitely not a devolution! XD Imagine the titles we would have had, if developers had continued to develop first on PC then downgrade / port to console afterwards. Imagine the RTS and strategy games we would have had, if the genres were not abandoned due to console focused games. Imagine the FPS games we would have had, if they had stayed with the PC as their (rightful) flagship platform. Saddens me, it really does.

For some reason this game randomly popped in my head. It was one of my first games for ps2 and for some reason I absolutely loved it. I played it through so many different times I lost count. Imo it wasn't so bad you're a super soldier how cool is that?! I would definitely play through it again even now.

I enjoyed this one more than Invisible War. I knew it was Deus Ex adjacent, but not being an official sequel I had no expectations that could be left unfulfilled. I got a frilly bit of action and was able to move on without feeling let down like IW left me

I actually think about this game a lot. I played it when it came out and loved it. It’s on the list of pc titles i’d like to play again (R6 lockdown, r6 raven shield, UT99, UT2k3, Unreal 2, Spec Ops (I think) Mercury Rising, Sum of all Fears. Maybe I just have shitty taste (I thought MW2 was better than CoD4), but I have a lot of positive memories with this game and a few others that I like going back to from time to time.

Played this game as a kid, it's one of my first games ever, really enjoyed it back then though. I guess it was actually challanging back then to a young kid and that's why, maybe. Thanks for reviewing part of my childhood (never even heard of deus ex back then, this just came with the computer my father bought for the family back then).

I think this game is pretty good compared to other scifi FPS at that time (except for Crisis, the game was to heavy for my low end PC). It gives the player tons of ability to switch around and multiple ways to finish a mission. Especially when you finished a mission, you can always replay it with a trainer so the game doesn't limited your ability energy.

I liked this game. Granted I was 15 when I played it and had no idea it was a botched sequel to Deus Ex but I also hadn't heard of Deus Ex back then either. So I went into it with no expectations, which is perhaps what you're missing here.

Invisible War was well received at the time. I'll still defend that game because even though it wasn't on par with the 1st DE (which I was obsessed with) it played faster, shorter, and had some generally cool ideas. For example: getting the electric melee aug meant using a baton or sword on a laser trip wire would deactivate it Similarly, adding a the electric gun mod to the dart gun basically did the same thing. I played Invisible War so many times that I had basically tried every combination of aug, weapon mod, and story path! No, it was not DE1 but it was an adequate console RPG FPS. I felt like it got more hate once DE: HR came out and people went back to IW. I can see the complaints but it was a fun game at the time and had some really cool stories to tell. I would love a Squeenix version of DE1 & DE2 though.

Your vids are the best, Mandalore. Finally a smart and insightful view on the video game industry. What about a video on the psychological tricks and tools game developers should be using to immerse players in their game, beyond abusive MMORPG reward cycles? You could draw examples from games you love and explain why so many modern developers just don't get it. Just an idea.

Also if you have cut any moments in your videos where you started laughing uncontrollably you need you compile them into a video, it was hilarious when you started laughing; it's so infectious!
