Rock Paper Shotgun has an interview with Tom Chick, the games reviewer who (apparently) infamously gave Deus Ex a 3/10 and never completely lived it down right here.

He referred to the nanotechnology as magical. You can just imagine him calling bullshit at the premise of the JC Denton character, then getting aspergingly angrier and angrier as the missions role on. I think he would say Halo was a better Deus Ex than Deus Ex was.

Tom Chick:quote:When Deus Ex was released, the Unreal engine struggled mightily with the level design. That was before console systems came along and saved us all from poorly optimized engines.  Is he still hosed in the head or something?

I think it's great that Tom Chick reviewed Deus Ex. Now we can all get on with never paying the least attention to another word he says.

I can understand what he says, but I feel games should get points for ambition, even if the reviewer couldn't really get into the experience. I don't really know his history and opinions, but it seems like he's proud for the very fact that he went against the grain. It's great that there are people who are willing to speak their mind and dissent, but I'd argue it would serve more purpose, and be more of a statement to speak out against the generic, overscripted games with no ambition instead of a relatively small cult hit game that tried to experiment.

Smuggler sells an auto-shotgun for the outrageous price of 7500 credits. Is that the unique? Because there's no way in hell('s Kitchen) that I have that much money at that point in the game. It might be, but I know for sure you can get it for free the last time you visit his hideout. It's in the security bot compartment. I think you have to trip the lasers. You might be able to bypass the control panel, but I don't remember if that opens the doors.

Every time I die in the Steam version of Deus Ex the game gets bugged until I reinstall it. Up until I die, I can use the mousewheel normally. Afterwards the selector moves but I can't actually switch away from item 1. Also, if I try restarting the game I keep all the items I had before I died, and all the crates are restocked too. Kind of puts a damper on finally finishing this.

I'm pretty sure someone mentioned that the bot is actually friendly to you after the first visit to smuggler's, no need to bypass the panel- I haven't checked it out myself, though.

orange lime posted:Tom Chick: Not entirely. Tom Chick posted:By the way, before submitting the review, I doublechecked with my editor about review scores. Gamecenter was using the 1-10 scale. Not the 7-9 scale, they insisted! Even back then, I resisted the idea of the 1-10 scale being a 7-9 scale (that particular battle has long since been lost, of course). So while writing the Deus Ex review, I verified with my editor that a 5 would be an average game and not necessarily a negative score. He confirmed. So I sent in the Deus Ex review with a 3. I figured it was a couple notches below average. Man, can you imagine a 3 these days? No one’s going to use a 3 on any game that doesn’t cost $19.99 or less.

The assault shotgun that Smuggler sells is no different than any other assault shotgun that you've been able to snatch off of a corpse for free since before Hong Kong. Although the unique auto-shotgun isn't very far away.

I can't believe this guy thought that Alpha Protocol is what Deus Ex should have been. quote:Contrast this to Alpha Protocol, which focuses first and foremost on gameplay, confined to smaller more manageable boxes representing warehouses or enemy bases. For all its faults, Alpha Protocol knows how far it can and can’t reach. This guy has to be functionally retarded.

Deus Ex mechanics with Alpha Protocol story variability would in fact be the best Deus Ex game ever. But then he's talking about gameplay and smaller boxes, so I don't even know what the gently caress.

Bought the game in the sale and so far it's been very good for £1.49, but I've hit a small problem. I've found a couple of augmentation upgrade canisters: But can't figure out how to use them on the medic bot upgrade screen:  Maybe I'm just being a bit thick, but where do you click to install them?

You can install them yourself without a medbot on your augmentation screen.

Open up your inventory and you'll see a bunch of tabs near the top. One of them is "Augs," which looks a lot like the medbot interface but also has buttons for upgrades. Is there a way to disable mounting in Biomod? It's not a bad feature on paper but it's not implemented very well in my opinion. dyzzy fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Jul 1, 2010 |

That's true. I exploded it instinctively the second time I went there and I got a point deduction. Never bothered to look in there again, though.

So, what would be more rewarding: -Play Deus Ex for the millionth time, but this time with Biomod -Play The Nameless Mod for the first time (I have been wary)

Lets gently caress Bro posted:So, what would be more rewarding: I've really tried to give TNM a chance but I'm about 3 hours in and it's just not fun at all. All the new weapons look like they were modeled by a 13 year old Counter Strike fan, with some monkey-cheese wacky weapons sprinkled in for good measure (throwing sporks!  ) The story is completely disconnected from reality and I since I've never posted on any Deus Ex forums I find it impossible to give a poo poo about any of the characters. The linear progression style is gone in favor of a sandboxy type city with different areas that you access via the subway. This would be cool, except that traversing any of the main areas without the speed aug is REALLY boring. I keep feeling like if I just play a little longer then it'll start to get good, but that hasn't happened yet.So yeah, biomod
