I think my brother and I own like 7 copies of this game between us but I just bought DX1 and 2 for $5 and will probably play through them again soon.

Just buy it to have a backup on Steam in case you lose your discs. I don't normally condone that sort of behaviour but Deus Ex is one of the few games that justify it and also it's cheap as gently caress.

Bought the pack because I lost my old CD of Deus Ex and wanted to try Invisible War for shits and giggles. No one has an excuse. The games cheap and will run on your lovely loving laptop.

I think if I lost all my copies of Deus Ex I'd be too busy being bummed by the fire/burglary/whatever to be relieved that I bought an online copy.

I bought it when it came out, and then again when it got a GotY edition, and then again on the PS2 (It was $1, so why the hell not) and then again on Steam. I am a terrible whore for Deus Ex.

Is anyone else having this issue with the Steam version? All of the speech is sped up, and cuts off the end of all conversation, also it seems like when I'm walking around the faster I go like I'm always picking up speed. Weird.

Puchased. That'll be my second copy of Deus Ex, and now I have IW too, so I can see what all the fuss is about. Gimmie the GEP gun.

God drat it. I finished Deus Ex for the first time yesterday, had no idea it was the tenth anniversary, and bought the sequel for £6.99 literally about an hour before the sale. Oh well. Thanks for this thread, by the way. Despite owning a couple of copies of Deus Ex, I'd never played it all the way through and had dismissed it as overrated. I really enjoyed it this time through, though. There were a couple of 'holy poo poo' revelatory moments which I really enjoyed, and it's a credit to the game that they weren't forced on me, but there in the background to be discovered. Specifically, talking to Morpheus and finding out why it personally thinks it exists. It's not often in a game that you're just talking to some background character and get a huge flash of insight into humanity itself, along with a sudden realisation of just what the game title is referring to - very literally God in the machine. I was quite surprised at the freedom I had to kill Anna Navarre so early on in the game, and how it actually affected the rest of the game - not in a serious plot-changing way, but certainly in Gunther's personal vendetta against JC. Kind of annoyed me when I realised that that specific 'freedom' wasn't really available with some other major characters, but it was still an excellent game. Also, I love how trivial the GEP gun makes boss fights. Walton Simons was great - ran out of his field of view, equipped the GEP, stepped out. "There's no use hiding, Dento-"

"There's no use hiding, Dento-" Aggressive Defense is better a better way to kill him. I turned it on and backed off so that his plasma gun was useless. In response to me fleeing he decided to chuck a LAM but it exploded in his face.

Does anyone still have DXTool or any of the other Invisible War tools on their computers? I can't find a working mirror and I really want to suffer my way through the game for some reason.

There's a working mirror a couple of pages back - I know it was working because I got DXTool off it two days ago: Tecman posted:I hope the planets are aligned in your favor (so that the tech will actually work for you). Also if you're serious about playing IW, you need two things: The John P Texture Pack and The DXTool so you can tweak the game (especially so you can make the gigantic text smaller). So far the game works fine with just DXTool and the texture pack. I haven't bothered to hack it to be widescreen, though I wish it could be windowed.

That's actually not terribly surprising since Shifter doesn't really add any new content, per se. It mostly just modifies game mechanics, and patches in a few removed bits of dialogue that were still hanging around in the resource files. Since all of its resources already exist in vanilla Deus Ex, it doesn't need to be very large.drkhrs2020 posted:p.s Any mods for DX:IW that make it suck less?  There's also a mod that lets you change the font size and tweak some other things about the UI. I can't think of the name of it, but someone linked it a few pages back, I think.

Missed it by a day, but happy 10th anyway! DX is probably the only game I go back to every couple of years and play through again. I wish I'd found the DXTool and other fixes last year when I went through it again. Oh well, there's always next time My favourite trick was to take down guards and hide the bodies out of the way:  Then I found out what happens when you just toss them anywhere without paying attention:     Zorak posted:Welcome to the Coalition, JCs.

This is a common problem that has to do with the original Unreal engine's sound channel. Open up the Default.ini in the Deus Ex system folder and find the line "Latency" under Galaxy audio or something. It should read 40 or less. Setting it to 60 fixed the problem for me.

Only played this once on Gametap when I still had it, and the whole thing was basically "uuuhhhh, uuuuhhhh, oh god I'm confused  ", and also played a tiny bit of Invisible War when my brother and I raided the used-game bin. Even though I'm still waiting on getting a good gaming computer (yes I know how non-hardware-intensive this game is, I'm stuck with loving Linux because this laptop is metaphorically geriatric), and my backlog of PC games is starting to resemble Robot Hobo's, 5$ for both games is a steal.

Another message board I visit has someone who worked in game Q&A, he posted a thing about Deus Ex:quote:I wish I had an amusing story to share about testing this one. But I don't. Warren Spector is the best game designer I've ever worked with, and actually listened to and respected the testers. He got us to start testing in the early Alpha stage. Most of our suggestions for gameplay and balancing were actually implemented- in some cases, Warren over-rode the programmer's desire to close the bug out and told them we were right. The game (at least in my opinion) was much better for it.

^^^^ That is cool to hear about Warren Spector. He may not always make the best game, but he sure as heck tries (most of the time). I have played through this game 4 times now and I have a physical copy. Yet I just bought it again simply because I'll never have to locate my disks again. Awesome deals like this have made my Steam account absolutely bulge. My game list is so big now I will need to consider leaving my login info to someone in my will.
