Yahtzee's Deus Ex Song

[@AlexCBrandon]

I just about fell out of my chair when I heard this the first time. Quite an honor :)

[@WELSHGAMER99]

Alexander Brandon Nice to see the composer of the original Deus Ex.

[@lionocyborg6030]

Say Alexander, could you see if you can get the OST to both the Jazz Jackrabbit games on GOG as goody downloads? They are awesome and I want them on my itunes. That or a link to a download of both as MP3.

[@BaztheRollingGherkin]

I am playing it for the first time right now (yes I know). Even then, the first time I booted it I still had this in my head as I remember this song from many a year ago.

[@KlokJammer]

Has anybody noticed that Yahtzee, a man who grew up in the UK and lives in Australia, used the American pronunciation of schedule?

[@TheCatOfWarCSGO]

As a Brit; how is the American pronunciation different? Sounds like how I would say it too.

[@Cleve_Crudgington]

In Australia both skedule and shedule are common. Shedule is probably less common but I think is considered more "proper".

[@TheCatOfWarCSGO]

Over here I've never paid attention to it, but I think people use them interchangeably.

[@HQ_Default]

I've literally never heard anyone say "Shedule"

[@lionocyborg6030]

Cleve Crudgington It isn't proper at all. Speaking as a Brit, "shedule" just sounds weird, like what you'd get if two garden tool storage buildings starting fighting.

Every time I hear the Deus Ex main theme, I can't help but hear Yahtzee's lyrics.

[@Kodaemon]

Somehow, Cyberpunk 2077 managed to make skills related to swimming even more useless than in Deus Ex.

[@SteamGrace]

When I saw that perk, I immediately thought of this song.

[@blueshit199]

for all its worth(less), at least Deus Ex has a lot of water and underwater paths in almost every level, so you do end up having to swim at one point or another in the game

[@ibuprofen_psychosis]

dIRECT0R he did say "fairly" useless

[@dIRECTOR259]

SomethingRules Yeah, but that's not the skill to neglect, though. You absolutely should give it one upgrade.

[@dIRECTOR259]

Biomod changes "Swimming" to "Athletics" and actually makes it useful (it affects movement speed outside of water, Advanced lets you grab ledges and climb up, etc.) Worth checking out.

[@RevolverRez]

I took the swimming route at Vandenberg in my current playthrough without upgrading. I had a slightly damaged chest at the end, but it meant little to my stealth Denton who had 14 medkits anyway. Point is, swimming sections are so few and far between there are better uses for exp.

@Perzyn I just finished my Deus Ex 1 playthrough after starting a few days ago thanks to a great Steam deal. I have to say I am very pleased with this game; it was an incredibly refreshing experience that stands out even today.

[@KnoxCarbon]

I can no longer boot up the game without singing this.

[@A-Duck]

To be honest, I never used to think so poorly of consoles, or those that advocate their worth. But slowly, over time, devs stopped making split screen games... Which was almost literally the single greatest feature of consoles. Now the only way I can play with my friends and family is if they're rich enough to buy their own console, game, broadband internet connection, and then... after all that... we have to deal with fucking lag. THERE IS NO MIDDLE FINGER BIG ENOUGH.

[@Katalmach]

I agree that the colors were pretty flat, but I've had no visibility problems with Deus Ex and CRTs and I didn't have to rev up the brightness more then one point, and you really don't want to because everything turns into a smudgy gray piece of crap. Perhaps the CRT monitor you were using had insufficient contrast?

[@mummycanwatch]

you know what? invisible war was not hated by EVERYONE. it might have not been the deus ex 2 youd dreamed of, but Id say it was pretty enjoyable still. ps: the song is crazy good obv. +1

[@jahahahaha]

Swimming is essential for speed runs

[@lodziklocPL]

Speedruns? Sure it's great for competition, but it just ain't right if you want to simply enjoy the game for what it is.

[@jahahahaha]

lodziklocPL Agreed, just giving an example when swimming is actually needed.

[@lodziklocPL]

jahahahaha It ain't about learning how to play this game, but simply enjoying it for what it is. Deus Ex isn't well-renowned for fast-paced action or even immersive gameplay (which is good, but it isn't the strongest point in this game). The strongest point of this game is the setting and story and I simply cannot imagine speedrunning such a game. Unless I completed it a thousand times (didn't happen) and I were extremely bored. It's like speedrunning a board RPG game.

[@discoder]

Why would anyone want to speedrun Deus Ex?

+Cave Rave The funny thing is, the Hipsters got the name wrong. It's a Trilbi. You'd think someone who tries to prove people wrong by arguing semantics when everyone knows what everyone means would at least know his own hat. But that's to be expected from the people who metaphorically murdered every type of outfit I like. I finally get in a college where nobody would resort to glasses-insults, and immediately after I start needing them, Hipsters come along. I'd rather just go back to being four-eyes. At least then I would have had the option to take off the glasses and say "No. It's one and a half."

[@markburlison1511]

I'm playing through Revision and can confirm that swimming is still fairly useless, never upgraded it and I still got all the good stuff in the flooded tunnel in Hong Kong :)

[@acrefray]

It has it's uses actually, there are a number of places where swimming can be used to bypass a bunch of areas, though you can't run the game with it. Environmental resistance could be awesome if you know how to use it. Do thermoptic camos to go invisible sound useless? What about ballistic armor which can negate nearly all damage taken? How about the hazmat suits for the numerous areas where you can get tranq'd, or electrocuted, or when you use gas grenades to clear out a room yourself? People only call it useless because you can very easily get through the game without using it, but in actuality, it makes it the perfect Action-RPG stat.

[@leon30517]

......... is it wrong that i enjoy Invisible War? despite its MAJOR FLAWS taking away the RPG elements that made me enjoy Deus Ex the most in the first place. thank god Human Revolution took the skill point system back.

oh... and i play Invisible War for the story actually. LOLZOLZOKAJH that means i won't explore shit!

You know, I owe Deus Ex to Yahtzee. He put this in one of his videos, and even though I had previously heard about Deus Ex and how good it was I had never played it. The fact that the game's music was so awesome inspired me to buy it from Steam and play it. I don't think I have to explain what came next.

@UziRider2 There's no SMG in Deus Ex. An SMG is an assault rifle that fires handgun cartridges. The assault rifle in Deus Ex fires 7.62x45 NATO rounds which is a rifle round.

As far as I am concerned the only thing Invisible War did better then the first game was to make some of the augments passive. Good thing Human Revolution took the best of both games.

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

I liked the Invisible War story (Though not the exposition and how every character rapidly spat out their lines like an Aaron Sorkin picture). I loved the concept of the Omar and NG Resonance. Some of the weapon mods such as the glass disintegrator were quite inventive.

[@AsianTheDomination]

i played the game for like 5 minutes. so cramped i felt like i couldnt breathe. the guy has a badass haircut and it was more fun throwing things at people but that didnt save it for me

[@Ctrekoz]

Swimming is extremely cheap and is pretty useful in certain places. And since you receive so much points by the end of the game which you don't really need anymore, upgrading swimming at least once is a good thing.

[@Drogmir]

The one thing I didn't like about Deus Ex is that sometimes you chose an augmentation that sounded useful and then later figured out that they were fairly useless but couldn't really do anything about it, because you don't want to load an earlier save.

[@Significantpower]

The regeneration augmentation easily counters any drowning damage you might take. Assuming you don't have a rebreather or something.

[@_fawkes]

@Tinhh yeah totally. I was once a Counter Strike addict. After I played Deus Ex, I felt sick even trying to open CS. And to think, I replayed the game like 100 times for 1 year after the first time I beat it and never got bored.

[@InSingularity]

I like Yahtzee's quip about putting all your points into swimming and poison resistance in case you have to visit Queensland.

[@evilmiera]

I liked invisible war just fine. Sure it had less stuff to upgrade, but what made it less intriguing was how they shoehorned you through later levels along certain paths. But there was still a LOT of good stuff in there. The commentary you could overhear, the endings, the various cool weaponry...

[@MarikBentusi]

That reminds me. Will DX3 have such a catchy tune? A "simple" one you could hum, mind you, not some Hans Zimmerman orchestra. I've heard of ingame remixes of DX1 themes already that play on the radio, but aside from that - no idea.

[@KingOfDowntown19]

@DarkNSF three months ago... look at it now. its the perfect successor.

[@Azothic]

Well Stealth tend to work better on a controller due to the analogue stick giving a better control of movement than a keyboard. I know PCs can use controllers as well but games for a PC tend to be designed with keyboard/mouse in mind.

[@dragatus]

@Xenodamus They didn't dumb down the game for the consoles. They dumped it down for a new generation of gamers, who are much less hardcore than the old one. Every 5 years or so the costs of making a game become 5x as big so you have to sell 5 times as many copies to break even. As a reesult a modern game has to sell multiple million copies in order to be a success and developers are forced to appease a large audience. It sucks, but I don't see anything that can be done to help.

[@TheThoJoh]

@PowerArmorV113 Well, i'm definitly guilty of that. I have had this song stuck in my head ever since DE:HR has been released, and after Yahtzees review of it

[@Wasmachineman]

Paul Denton and Alex Jacobson are my favorite characters in DX1. 'Jesus christ, JC!' 'Like leading a mouse to cheese.'

[@RKNGL]

The Co-optional podcast brought me here.

[@Tamis1991]

which episode ?

[@meinnase]

@kingt34 well tbh thats bullshit, swimming is fairly useful if you take the maximum pacifist/stealth approach almost every level has 1 or 2 parts were you can avoid combat by swimming or get additional items, if you dnt level swimming you wont be able to take these unless you find a rebreather which are ofc placed whereever you DONT need them :O

[@camydoger]

The maxed-out regeneration aug makes the swimming upgrades redundant.

[@Abon666]

@erttheking Do it, it's still holds up pretty well today if you disregard the ugly graphics and there are mods that fix the graphical problem. Also it is far supperior to Human Revolution in every way except the graphics and voice acting (although the hammy voice acting is quite charming).

[@fhrizo]

So what you're saying is that there are parts of the game which you can't get past without points in swimming.

[@Cravenick]

swimming is not useless as enviromental trainig is, I think it should be at least at 2nd level, no more, because you need it to get for example upgrade canister in Hong Kong and at its useful in OceanLab and some other places.

[@zinki120]

This should be an easter egg in Deus Ex 3 like...when you are Adam Jenson back to your apartment, you turn on the radio on some channel and out of sudden you hear this tune and lyrics.

[@PowerArmorV113]

[@GameF0x]

@GerrardW Haha there is a new Deus Ex out this year.

[@TMTLive]

@mrbitbot Wait, have they actually given out any inormation aside from that teaser trailer, then?

[@kirbyza]

Also, Ion Storm had more than one branch, genius. There was the one that made DX1 and there was the one that made Daikatana.

[@GerrardW]

@ObsoletePerson If we made a game like Deus Ex today it would still sell about as much as the original because of the direction video games went in, except the development costs went up 50 fold over these 10 years, and it would put the company out of business. As a result, there will never be another Deus Ex.

[@A-Duck]

If a game is designed for Keyboard and mouse in mind, then it doesn't matter what genre it is, it will control more naturally with a a keyboard and mouse. Otherwise, you can pick and choose what control method you prefer with impunity. Side note; any game designed with PC controls in mind is, obviously, a PC game. Since the PC as a system have a plethora of control avenues available to be woven into a games design, its rarely worthwhile to limit yourself with a controller.

[@duh1177]

@severuslupus1 And fortunately, he didn't take the Autotune augmentation.

[@seeibe]

@VNVgirl: Agreed, the game is so good, it doesn't need any graphics enhancements or anything of the sort to be tons of fun. Better yet though, they might stick with that style of graphics and gameplay, and build a dedicated engine for it, which would be more efficient and easier to make new content with. You can already mod tons of stuff in Deus Ex - What if you could make your own levels, NPCs, and so on? :)

[@HalfLifeHalfDead]

@DrPepper42yes Even when it came out. Even back then...

@Xenodamus And the same thing happened with The Longest Journey. Both Dreamfall and Invisible War were released on Xbox! So lame.

[@Azothic]

It's really just personal preference I suppose. Although you're second point is incorrect as a game can be designed for both PC and console (See most games) So the controls will be designed to suit either platform whilst the game is still a multi-platform game. The only real definite advantage isn't for playing games though as that's an opinion. Games are easier to make for a console as there are defined hardware limitations while a PC has a wide variety of hardware that needs to be considered.

You mean the entirety of the game, otherwise it WOULD be useful and in tandem with what he claims. You never need it. Oceanlab? Find a rebreather.
