The pun on jojo having a bizarre adventure is awesome But the stone-cold delivery makes it god-tier 😂

[@sweetman6685]

I NOTICED BUT DIDNT KNOW IF IT WAS INTENTIONAL LOL.

That stone cold delivery he has is in line with Denton's own emotionless dialogues.

[@musicenthusiast2372]

I had just watched the whole retrospective of Dark Souls trilogy, and the god of war series. I'm sure these videos take alot more work than most of us realize. Think I can speak for most if not all your viewers when I say we really appricate the time and dedication put into these videos. Excited for everything you upload. Cheers mate.

[@jugomebu]

Absolutely! They're so well created.

[@sophiesums3954]

Gingy you’re such an amazing content creator! You have such a passion for the games you review and such a comforting voice. I love being able to watch this type of long form content to wind down and learn more about video games. Thanks for your hard work!

[@princeblasian3735]

Gingy’s videos are so simple and so easy to follow and so relaxing to listen to that l can have absolutely no intrest in a certain game but l can completely enjoy him talking about it

[@dazheon]

Someone probably already wrote this but the police asks for your papers only if you go into the "human" line on the subway. If you go through the line for aughs they won't bother you

[@antoniobrown247]

Gingy just wanted to say I definitely appreciate the amount of work you do on your videos. They is always amazing with great explanation.

[@userseven733]

Thank you for another amazing video! I was eagerly anticipating it, as the Deus Ex series are some of my favourite games, primarily because of DXMD. You mentioned not finding the station bomber, and I wanted to highlight that there's a hidden room in Golem City where you can discover emails from the bomber and Viktor Marchenko. Additionally, You also mentioned the Garm level to be lacklustre, which I agree, there are some interesting documents there that provide more insight into certain aspects of the story. One aspect I particularly enjoyed about DXMD is its almost FromSoft-style storytelling, via hiding documents around the world and incorporating hidden quests that activate only if you find or know certain things. (I apologise for gushing about this game) but the level design and its tightness are qualities I've rarely found in other games. There's consistently more than one path to any objective, and none of them feel tacked on. and again thank you for another amazing video!

[@AmASexyNugget]

I really love how you can cover the story of so many games in just one 2 hour video. I just finished your Dark souls retrospective after finishing the game myself. I can see how much effort went into making these so thank you. I’d love if you covered the whole Thief story in the future.

[@fubarfubar1977]

Thanks man, now I`ve gotta re-install all of these & play through them again in release order! Nice video, appreciate the work.

[@theoriginalsoapy]

This took long for you I can see with the community post and I am glad you followed the process and for making me happy today 😁

[@baneenab]

I finished original Deus Ex this year in February, I tried playing it years ago, and I dont know why, but I never played it more than 2 hours. Then I finally decided I will give it one more chance, and oh boy, I surely was missing one of the most important games of all time. Now its in my top 5 video games of all time, a classic.

[@themaniac8596]

Thanks as always for the mad work you doing Bro

[@Griffolion0]

1:53:30 - There are too many coincidences in the game that point to Jensen being a clone. It's either a whole bunch of things, both large and small, that just so happened to fall into place, or the devs knew exactly what they were doing.

[@AC-hj9tv]

Oh shit

[@Thebettermartyr]

I’ve watched all of your videos and intend to continue to do so. Thanks bro 🤙🏼

[@bobnm89360]

I don’t care who United Nations sends I will not pay taxes.

[@passing.by.the.river.]

Well said 😂. Ready... Aim... Fire!!! Ok back to all ol good Controlled Democracy.

[@judgement20nyx83]

You only don't like paying taxes because you've never seen a day in your life where your taxes have benefited you in any material way If you grew up with a basic income, housing, medical care, and nourishment, you wouldn't be complaining so much about being taxed. I know I sure as shit wouldn't and I sure as shit believe that those are the real things our taxes should be going towards well before they go into a military budget

[@judgement20nyx83]

NB4 "NO I WOULDNT NO BIG GOVERNMENT" So what you really want then, is a stateless society where people are either self-sufficient or are able to rely on their community in order to continue to further society? Genuine question

[@Ramon-gg3bd]

Thank you for this video, this is my favorite games series. Hope these kind of videos will inspire another Deus Ex game to be made soon.

[@seasond_cheese]

Another great video, thanks for putting in so much work for our enjoyment 😁

[@RiftWalker111]

Thanks for making this video! I'm in my mid twenties but found the deus ex series as a teenager long time ago. Confused at first what it was about but my ideologies and thoughts became more fine tuned over the years, I enjoy these games so much more now.

[@jamiedavies3810]

Great timing! This will help at work!

[@marcusbattle6734]

Great content as always bro!

[@UD503J]

Small error 25:36, it's a Universal Constructor, not conductor. It can build objects from nanoscale materials.

[@HamStrains]

I like when you go see Sam Carter at the armoury in the first game and the game punishes you by not giving you ammo if you select the dialogue option that suggests you've been running around killing everyone instead of paying attention to the story and limiting the body count by using stealth/skills/augs along side your weapons. A gentle hint to explore more ways to do things

[@lumisussy]

Hearing you just mention Thief makes me itch for a Dishonored retrospective.

[@harvisfly910]

I love your channel and your breakdowns of some of my favorite games and their stories. The way you speak has a calm tone that I enjoy just as much as vaatividya. Genuinely love your work. (Your statements on mothership zeta in fallout 3 blew my mind because that’s probably my 2nd favorite dlc from one of my favorite games ever and I don’t think Iv EVER heard anyone say anything bad about mothership zeta 😭)

[@zackhicks5320]

Saying Mothership Zeta is the worst FO3 DLC is actually insane

[@borisf711]

Point lookout dlc was probably the most boring one for me. Although I did like the whole past communist spy lore. Saying mothership zeta bad is like a saying the big empty is bad in New Vegas. It's supposed to be over the top especially when all the games back to the first game have alien encounters and weapons.

You know what? Good on you for pointing out the American internment camps. We like to vilify the Nazis for their camps (and rightly so, that shit was messed up) but rarely do people talk about the American equivalent (not that we ran experiments or gassed them but the living conditions were absolutely terrible.)

[@VladfishTheMagnificent]

The Deus Ex franchise is my favorite of all time. The first Deus Ex game was a revelation in all sorts of ways. I did enjoy Invisible War, flaws and all. DX:HR was amazing, and I thoroughly enjoyed DX:MD, though the abrupt ending was jarring. The future seems bleak, but I do hope that, somehow, one more game gets made to give Adam Jensen the send-off he deserves.

[@SuperM190]

I remember being 10 and playing the first Deus ex such a great gaming experience on the PlayStation completed that then invisible war and cleared that then human revolution was such a nice surprise and it was a good blend of the future but it's also the past because it's set before the first game and mankind divided was a good game but I always find myself going back to the first Deus ex I mean it's years later and people are still holding it up as a great game that says a lot

[@LightyDust]

Ah, yes. Long retrospectives. The longer, the better. My most favorite type of gaming content on YT. Thank you. :)

[@XenoJehuty84]

Square-Enix really did this series dirty, but then again they did all their Western studios dirty. Unreasonable sale projections, forcing their umbrella studios to use scummy micro-transaction, and pre-order bonus schemes, among other half-baked ideas.... Now with Embracer Group showing they're just as bad, I fear we may never get a proper resolution to Adam Jensen's story. Now I'm now saying Eidos Montreal is free of any blame either, but Square ultimately was not only the purse holder, but the overseer dictating terms of release, as well as pushed them to implement the scummy pre-order thing that helped damage the game's rep before release.

[@billclockwell]

Congratulations on making what somehow still only the third longest Deus EX retrospective

[@ottophilipsen-holse6543]

This and Ross´ Game Dungeo are the best Deus Ex videos

[@octavius9685]

I played the shit out of this game when it came out, but somehow forgot EVERYTHING said in this video.. Thnx bro..

[@MrF3athers]

Great Video

[@rajveersohal8072]

Could you do splinter cell? I love listening to your videos in the background before I go to sleep

[@WonderfuhlsWorld]

Dark Souls trilogy video was fire! And dark! I think you’d very much enjoy Hotline Miami and it’s subsequent sequel. Plenty of wonderful perspectives to pull from a game that I’d consider one of the most violent and disgusting (in a good way) indie games I’ve played.

[@mikeshogunlee]

Despite the ending problems, I still consider this to be my favorite Deus Ex game.

[@ivanporras610]

I was a little kid when human revolution came out and I remember being really excited to play that game. I didnt actually play it until after highschool and I was extremely disappointed in the gameplay, so much so that i dropped it after 2 hours. I honestly didnt know that the story of these games was so interesting maybe I will try to give it another chance

[@sonatine3266]

I loved Human Revolution and Mankind Divided. Mankind Divided is after Cyberpunk 2077 my most played Cyberpunk game. I hope so much that there will be a Deus Ex 6.

[@exoruneblackrage8170]

God I hope they manage to continue the series. Gdamn Square and their weird relationship with IP's they acquire. Hitman survived and thrived after they got rid of it so i hope Deus Ex can do the same.

[@davideriksen2434]

Me and my brother loved playing this he was way more into it I miss him rip 🙏

[@nickjohnson3619]

You dont hear too many people talk about invisible war which is unfortinate cause it had some of the coolest world building in my opinion

[@theshadowsolitaire1741]

One factor you missed with the Javik DLC is a code for it it was included as standard with retal copies of the game much like the Catwoman DLC for Arkham CIty or Mechromancer for Borderlands 2. Meaning people that bought the games new got the DLC for free but those buying pre-owned would have to pay for it as way to reclaim something from lost sales to the second hand market similar to the online passes other games like the Assassins creed series had.

[@michaelmccoy2384]

Just watched your alan wake vid. Hope you can find time for that break!

[@bobspalding2477]

Yessss it’s out!

[@spaceemountain]

Excited for the 10 hour Baldurs Gate review 😬

[@TokenDestroyer]

Right on time.

[@StarSpawn]

Deus Ex has passively become one of my favorite games, as weird a phrase as that is. I enjoy conpiracies so much that the first game being about them immediately caught my interest. Shame though that it came out before i was able to understand how to play ( I was about 5 at the time). I got into human revolution about 2 years after it came out, knowing nothing about the series. I quickly became a fan and was so excited when they annouced mankind. But just like most people, i was slightly disappointed that it was short and that it once again really only revolved around augments. I understand that it gave the story more polish but it's what made the series so interesting to me, all the conspiracies they could have visualized and made into interesting thematic pieces. And as for playing the first game, I just can't. It's obviously before the standardized control we're so used to on pc. And don't even get me started with the gameplay ( the tranq darts not knocking someone out with a single heads hot, I blame MGS for that). I'll eventually play through it myself. Anyways, it's a treat to listen to your videos at work and I'm always eagerly waiting for the next upload! Happy Holidays!

[@Gingy]

Happy Holidays! I also think MGS ruined the tranq darts for me as well lol. Thanks for the donation :)

[@n0rmy001]

The T in Apostlecorp is silent. It's one of the many biblical references, along with J.C Denton referring to Jesus Christ; Paul, his brother is an apostle of Jesus, and he obviously is known to be the Son of God, which has JC becoming God at the end. And further, Adam - being the first man to become augmented, is like Adam from Genesis, the first of God's human creations.

[@retrodayo]

Awesome video my man! One comment thought for 18:13 We are social creatures, not truth seeking creatures. We do not want to be correct, we want to belong somewhere. That maybe explains the whole conspiracy theorist dilemma a bit.

[@bwalyamapulanga9411]

Thannnnk you Gingy!!!!!!!!

[@werewolfjedi38]

Well that's sad. I had just assumed the series had something I missed after MD. But to hear they just canned the series at this point isn't very fun. I hope they get another chance at it

[@twistedelegance_]

You should probably do these of adventure games, especially the classics. Their playability isn't great but storywise much better than most games even today
